GALDONES:Mr. Lim, can you help us here? <br />YUEN:Im sorry, its paragraph 3 of the proposed conditions. <br />GRAHAM:Where it says ‚provision of public access to and along the shoreline?ƒ <br />YUEN:Yes. <br />GRAHAM:And those public accesses are spelled out, where? <br />YUEN:In this settlement agreement dated April 12, 2002. In connection with this <br />area, that would be specifically that, starting, if you want to take it all the way back, you have <br />vehicular access along Mill Road, yeah. <br />GRAHAM:Yeah, you dont need to go through all the specifics. I understand from <br />oursitevisit,inregardstothepublicaccess-.Anditsonly10feetthatwerereallyrequiringin <br />general along the shoreline, is that correct? <br />YUEN:Yes. Its a pedestrian access. <br />GRAHAM:Right. I know in the conditions with regard to house building on some of <br />the lots, in the material I read, I dont remember where, there was some discussion about ‚no <br />houses should be closer than 40 feet from the cliff edge in case of subsequent erosionƒ and all. <br />So how does the public access move? Suppose the public access is 10 feet and theres erosion, <br />does the public access get to move inland so that it is maintained? Were not going to lose any <br />public access through erosion? <br />YUEN:The settlement agreement says that if the cliff erodes, then the public <br />access could be moved to a near safe location. Isnt that correct? <br />LIM:Thats correct. <br />GRAHAM:And it would be continuous along the shoreline? <br />YUEN:Thats right. <br />GRAHAM:Another concern is, I know in a few areas on the leeward side of the <br />island, like at Mauna Lani or down near Kona Airport and all where theres narrow public <br />accesses, high-priced property owners nearby kind of like built up a big stonewall or something <br />to restrict that. Somehow that makes you feel like youre stuck in a foreign country or <br />something. And, you know, if you want to go there, you know, youre allowed to do it; but we <br />dont want any part of it, or something like that. So Im just wondering, is that a possibility that <br />could happen in this situation? Is that something we should condition for so that we dont wind <br />up having lot owners building a total wall screen that leaves the public with a 10-foot little <br />32 <br /> <br />
