The idea of a gated community is to keep some sort of sense of safety, I can imagine that. But having a one-way in, one-way out situation I think is just a safe -. People coming in on foot has to be safe. Why canÓt we use that road? WeÓve been years and years. This was not, this was a road that wasnÓt shut off to the public. But the signage is the main thing, no more trespassing, and putting the rules up, telling people they have a right to go in. Because IÓve gone with people who have refused to go in because they believe they were trespassing. GALDONES:Commissioners, any further questions of Ms. Rohr? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Claudia, IÓm wondering which, obviously, even though you live down Richardson you take a lot of interest in this area. I wondered if you have been to meetings of the Pepeekeo Community Association or really discussed these issues with other groups therein. You know, how that has gone for you and - ROHR:When I called the Pepeekeo Community Association, she said that they were in between presidents so they wouldnÓt be participating in this, because they were between presidents. And, see, they still are, theyÓre faith is in that original agreement, the appeals agreement. But the way that reads is this is the one shot that the public has to try to give you input, and only you can put these conditions on. Christopher Yuen in the Planning Department is not allowed to change that agreement, only you are. So itÓs a very small thing to ask for signs to be put up with public access signs. I donÓt know whoÓs going to pay for them, I guess you can decide now. But there should be directional signs, and there should be signs saying you have a right to, you know, access a shoreline via this trail between the hours of 6 and 6; if you want to be here for night fishing, register with, and a phone number. But, you know, you need to disclose what the true rules are. And the way that that agreement reads, the Planning Department canÓt oppose this. That was in writing before. He couldnÓt oppose it if he wanted to. He agreed not to oppose this SMA application. He canÓt change anything, only you guys can change it. And IÓm sorry but when they were doing that agreement, I was unaware that they were dealing with all these public access issues. So IÓve tried to look at it and I think thereÓs some holes in the accesses. I donÓt think that thereÓs easements dedicated to the County down to each of the parking lots; and I think before approved, they should be in place. Why should this go on and on and on without all the pieces in place? This is the one moment. GALDONES:Thank you, Ms. Rohr. Any further questions of Ms. Rohr GRAHAM:Yeah, I just wanted, again, to try to be real candid about how oneÓs feelings are. If these people, by these people, I mean, Pepeekeo people, have been working with the Planning Department and the Applicant in coming together to make an agreement and we do have written documentation that they are happy with the agreement, itÓs hard for me as a person at a later date whoÓs not from the area, on the basis of someone who may come and make what seems to me a coherent and reasonable 13
