and ranked these seventeen submissions for your consideration. We have also reviewed
grant applications for communities to malamaPONC acquired properties.
The work of our commission was possible with the support of our county staff. We are thankful
for the time and efforts of Commission Secretary, Maxine Cutler; Property Manager, Hamana
Ventura, Deputy Corporation Counsel, Amy Self (retired April 2019) and Ronald Kim.
Again, we are thankful for the support of the County of Hawai‘i and it was a pleasure working

resources.

consistent with the county’s Ka’u Community Development Plan for protection of its whole
undeveloped coastline
Protection of archaeological, burial and culturally important features that are found here and
continuously along this coastline and uplands

the shore about a quarter mile to popular sandy areas and tide pools above the bluff-lined

gate, and it has some landscaping and a native hala trees
The property is already a well-known access to the ocean thanks to guide books, vacation
rental listings, unofficial guided tours and internet identification
