d) The Beach Trail: During the ownership of HCPC and Mauna Kea Agribusiness access to the beach was restricted. It was a very difficult and dangerous trespass to get to the ili'ili beach. One would have to cross through a tangle of metal in the mill crushing plant then descend a rickety ladder erected by the trespassers. During the ownership of Waugh and Prickett a formal trail was designed and built at the far west end of the mill. There was no existing trail at this site, being a steep slope only punctuated by elevated concrete flume supports. The trail was designed in a switch back with gentle slopes to allow for safe and easier travel. (See Exhibit D, "Papaikou Mill Beach Trail Narrative" by Mr. James Waugh). Embedded herein are a few photos of Sione Pota and his Tongan work crew placing cap rock on the trail floor in 2002. The trail grade was constructed by Ted Shiroma, private dozer operator from Honomu and the field crew of Mauna Kea Agribusiness supervised by Mr.John C. Cross. The subdivision project will not disturb or impact the trail or the beach/pond complex. It is the applicants desire to continue to allow access across this private trail subject to existing use conditions. However, if future demolition actions of the remaining boiling house structure are performed alteration of access or relocation of access may occur. Those potential future actions to be covered under a separate SMA Assessment Application.
