September 15, 2003, and your concerns for the location of access is completely satisfactory to the Fishing Access Committee. And IÓm just confused that these people that do use that facility feel that itÓs acceptable to them. In fact, they are on record supporting this request for approval. And IÓm just confused with your presentation because you say you canÓt find it and, yet, these people seem to know where the access is. ROHR:Well, I took a subdivision map and marked the easements in yellow and tried to find them. Maybe some people are less concerned with whether they trespass or not, but I was concerned with which easements were there, where I could travel. I donÓt believe people have the right to walk down that road thatÓs closest to the ocean, that they have to go to the trail and walk along the trail to get to each of the spots; and that doesnÓt make sense. Therefore, you have the easement t you have no access to the easement to the Chinese cemetery. So itÓs sitting there isolated. If you donÓt connect it with other roads that have public access, itÓs incomplete. Maybe they feel comfortable that everyone has an understanding, I donÓt know. IÓm just talking about which public documents are in place and what the real legal picture is. GALDONES:Mr. Yuen? YUEN:Yeah, I think I can help clarify the situation here. The letter that youÓre referring to and the access agreement from the Pepeekeo Fishing Association is a private side agreement that gives members of that association vehicular access to certain points on the coast, so they have a preferred type of access under that agreement. The County-negotiated access is largely, does not have drive-in to all the points that is under this agreement with the Pepeekeo Association. The County access, which is mostly, most of that is outside of this permit here, this SMA permit, because this, and this rezoning. Because this rezoning and SMA only covers the small area right at Pepeekeo Point, rather than the entire three-plus miles of coastline. All right? But addressing specifically the questions that Claudia Rohr had about those accesses, the public, we have a delay in formally implementing the accesses be really nitty-gritty issues that have to be worked out on the ground. I went out with a representative of the Applicant, Hank Correia, about three weeks ago to look at areas where we have to adjust how the access goes. Because itÓs, when it was written up, the idea, we had not walked it, the idea was that the pedestrian access be more or less along the top edge of the cliff and that people could walk there. But we knew that you would hit places where there are little gullies, and then you have to adjust where the access goes; so that has to be done. And, also, the County has to enact rules governing public access under the settlement agreement. I also anticipate doing So the formal, so formally, the County, the public accesses are not in place. When they are in place, they will include the right to drive to all the parking areas. So you can take the Mill Road down to the end of the Mill Road and park, and you can take that railroad right-of-way and drive to the other parking areas along the railroad right-of-way. And on 11
