States Government and is public land under the control of the US Coast Guard and used for a light station. 4) Continental Pacific, LLC failed to file dedication documents for public easements from a public road to the shoreline with the Planning Director with its application for subdivision 7644 as required by HCC 34-8(a): Upon review of a subdivision application, when it is determined that public access must be provided, the subdivider shall file the executed documents for dedication of the public access, free and clear of all encumbrances with the director. 5) Conversely, The Planning Director issued final subdivision approvals in violation of HCC 34-8(b): Prior to final subdivision approval, the dedication documents shall be reviewed and approved as to form and content by the appropriate agencies. The director may thereafter grant approval to the subdivision in accordance with the subdivision rules and regulations of the County. 6) Please take note: Continental Pacific, LLC provided the one requiredvehicular access to theshoreline,requiredbythesettlementagreement,ataninappropriatelocation.Itislocated at the bottom of Mill Rd. (easement P-6) and the shoreline cannot be accessed from the pali at this point. The public has to walk approximately 1,200 feet along the pali edge from this parking area to get to a well known beach. Therefore this parking area is not significantly different from the pedestrian easements. Does this fulfill the requirement? This has caused hardship for those members of the public who are elderly or have young children. 7) The Planning Director and Continental Pacific have recently agreed on the location of the shoreline trail and certain hard, well, this one has been resolved today. Forget that. 8) Id like to point out, No. 8 is Signs identifying Public access have not been posted. Gates and no trespass signs currently discourage the public. Signs should be posted on gates to indicate public access information and the hours the gates will remain open. General shoreline access signs should show public the way to the shoreline. 9) Pedestrian access openings in the fenced areas are too narrow as currently constructed. 10. The Planning Director has failed to implement rules for public use of the shoreline access easements. The Planning Departments negotiated agreement with the developer states that shoreline access is not open for use by the public until rules for public use are implemented. The Planning Department and Continental Pacific, LLC have failed to officially open the shoreline to public access yet the Planning Director has issued final approval of at least two phases of the developers master subdivision plan in the past eighteen months. Continental Pacific, LLC continues to subdivide and sell land while the community is locked out of the traditional fishing grounds and shoreline recreational spots. The developer appears to suffer no consequences. 21
