Mr. Yuen stated in looking for things to purchase, the prime types of areas to <br />purchase are these small private holdings that are surrounded by State land in a sensitive <br />area such as Okoe. Mr. Yuen stated in situations such as this where a person has a house <br />there and the State has regulations, it tends to lock things up. However, you have to look <br />at what the State's doing. Mr. Yuen stated that you are not permitted to camp on State <br />land when it's not a park, such as Kiholo. In many places along the coast, you will find <br />State land and just a few acres of private land often times at the choicest spot such as <br />Kiholo. Mr. Yuen stated sometimes it's too pricey but as a general thing to look for, this <br />is the kind of property that would pay the big dividends. <br />Commissioner Flores stated there were other parcels that the Commission <br />submitted that fell into that category. Commissioner Flores questioned the status on <br />Surety, makai of the highway with the existing resort entitlements in that area. <br />Mr. Yuen stated they were coming up against their time limits. They have some <br />legal arguments. They have a zoning condition and SMA permit that say they were <br />supposed to do certain things by certain dates. <br />Mr. Yuen moved onto Keamuku which the Army just purchased. <br />Mr. Yuen moved onto Kapoho. Mr. Yuen stated the Commission listed what is <br />labeled the "Oda" property. Mr. Yuen stated that it used to be the shoreline however the <br />1960 lava flow made a new shoreline and landlocked the "Oda" property. Mr. Yuen <br />wasn't sure if the purpose was to get an easement across the "Oda" property to use an <br />existing road to get to Champagne Pond. <br />Commissioner Campbell stated they were asking to get that easement to the land <br />since it's a beautiful shoreline. The public goes down there all the time and camp. It's an <br />easy 4 wheel drive road. Commissioner Campbell stated the public goes down there and <br />trash happens. Commissioner Campbell stated the people want this developed more with <br />an access and to keep the artifacts on the other side of the lighthouse intact which has <br />already been desecrated. Commissioner Campbell stated a burial site was there. <br />Commissioner Campbell stated the purposes which was access and historic and cultural <br />preservation. <br />Mr. Yuen asked if the existing road goes across the "Oda" property. <br />Commissioner Campbell replied no and that it goes out to the lighthouse and from there <br />is the 4 -wheel drive road. Mr. Yuen clarified that the idea would be to make an access <br />across the "Oda" property because it's closer and Commissioner Campbell added that it <br />would keep people away from lighthouse and the burial site. Commissioner Campbell <br />stated it could be closed off. <br />Mr. Yuen moved onto Mau`umae. Mr. Yuen stated the question was what <br />property were people looking at acquiring and what was the extent. Mr. Yuen stated the <br />County owns Spencer Park and that there was a trail that goes to Mau`umae. It's a nice <br />
