When we approved the subdivision map, we assumed these association roads would service the pre-existing lots. Okay. Thats not good enough. Assuming it, knowing its law is not good enough, it has to be in writing. You have to create it by survey or/and easement documents. But Im saying the County has an obligation to make sure these things are created by survey. So Im asking that we review whats wrong with Subdivision 7644, because these lots were a, a logical of, they were created during that subdivision. So I would like to go over some of the things -. First of all, I believe as a member of the public, I have a right to walk over Beach Road, down the road, and access the beach at Pepeekeo Point. Commander Havlik is looking into whether she can somehow give the public the right to drive there. So Im hoping to work out something with the National Park Service, or some other Federal agency where we can actually get some document in writing providing for a vehicular access to the lighthouse site. This is why, a lot of changes occurred up and down the coast, lands have been sold into private hands. The only opportunity to ever do anything in terms of public access, repairing public access that has been changedisinthesehearings.Butunlesstheresapieceofpubliclandinthemiddleofaproject like this, we really dont have the right to say you have to let people drive up to a convenient spot. Weve all been driving up to the lighthouse property, parking on the property and accessing the ocean. This is a perfect solution to all the complaints weve been hearing. Im going to ignore the issues with the Pepeekeo Association just for a moment because they are, they have a private agreement. At the moment, Im not a member but I could be a member, but at the moment Im not. Im just going to talk in terms of the public. Okay, so in the event that we do get some kind of documentation or were able to open that site, and, by the way, its a historic site. Its listed in the Coast Guards Historians List of Historic Light Stations, its also listed under the Federal Park Services list of historic light stations and unmanned aids. So theres a possibility that well have to consider down the road how, you know, how will the public get to this land; and, to me, its obvious. The developer has the option of manning the gate. If theyre so clear that they want to close the gate, then they can post a guard there to let the public through. In the meantime, Id really like to repair all of these easement issues, meaning access all the way to a public road, and I dont mean Mill Road. To me, thats not good enough. Theres nowhere that it says that that is a government road. You cant prove it to a title company. So you need to, you need to have a plan file that the title company can refer to when theyre doing title reports; and, so, theres a real need to correct this title report. But Id like to read, first of all, Id like to read the letter I wrote to Commander Havlik. Dear Commander Havlik: Im requesting a letter from the office of Navigational Aids to verify that the public may continue using the open grounds on TMK 3-2-8-7-13, in Pepeekeo, Hawaii. Owner/site manager: U.S. Coast Guard. Light List: 28025. This light station has been included on the Coast Guard Historians Inventory of Historic Light Stations of Hawaii and the National Parks Service Inventory of Historic Light Stations, Significant Unmanned Aids.
