access points that are -- if you look at the proposed subdivision map, we have, on this end -- for these 11 lots on the south end, we have two access points where youcanwalk to the shore, and then you have a continual lateral access along the shore. The widest gap between those, the gap between the two points is 873 feet. The one parking, one access point is 686 feet from the north end of the proposed subdivided lots, andthen its another 800 feet to the boundary of the next lot. So theres about, from that access point, theres about 1,500 feet to the next point, to the power plant. Now when you hit the power plant lot, thepublic access stops. The power plant is owned by somebody else. It is under an SMA permit, but theres no public access requirement for that permit. So you dont have, even not counting the fact that you have a lateral public access, the spacing complieswithChapter34. GALDONES:MissRohr? ROHR:Okay.Imsorry,butIdisagree.TherequirementsofSMA221requires that, what used to be lot 53, the Hilo Coast Power Company grant public access to the shoreline as a requirement. I also disagree. I think that theres, if you take the shore -. Im not sure how youre supposed to measure, whether its by the straight line as the crow flies or take into account the inundations of the shoreline, but I believe its more than 2,500 feet to the, from this access to the one at Mill Road. I think the one at Mill Road was also the one that the power plant is using for SMA 221, so youre sort of using it twice. So I disagree with that. And I think the way to tell is for the Planning Director to provide you all with the requirements of SMA 221. I brought this up before that those should have been respected within this other SMA permit. Okay. So during the break weve determined that the main road system on this Subdivision Map 7644 is misidentified as Parcel 93 and does not coordinate with this chart on the right which outlines the various easements. I would like to suggest in this next SMA that the Planning Commission, since the Director cant do this in his own capacity because of the settlement agreement, that you ask that Easement R-1 through R-8 be also designated a public easement for vehicular traffic in favor of the County of Hawai`i and public access. This is a requirement of Chapter 34, to provide a continuous access from a public road. Nowhere is there, in every other subdivision document, I think these things need to be corrected; that these file plans are legal documents. Its all we have to go by. Thats all the title companies have to go by. I would appreciate it if I could go home and sleep tonight knowing that youre going to preserve for the future public access all the way to a public road. In other words, the public access that is listed on this subdivision plan remains landlocked. They start here. Maybe theres public access to this point, but there is no provision for the public to legally drive down Mill Road, go along the railroad and access the parking lot. 4
