small white sand beach. Mr. Yuen stated there was also a gravel road with parking that <br />gives public access to Mau`umae. The property itself is one small parcel. It has a RS 15 <br />zoning which means you can make a residential 15,000 square feet lot. To develop there, <br />you would need a SMA permit to develop a RS 15. Mr. Yuen stated since the location is <br />on the beach and in South Kohala, it would be a pricey piece of property, if you were <br />talking about acquiring it. Mr. Yuen stated the surrounding area is a huge property <br />owned by the Queen Emma Foundation. This property is currently zoned for one acre <br />lots. To develop it, you would need a SMA permit. The Queen Emma Foundation has <br />been low -key about development. <br />Chair Replogle stated as he understood it, it was to connect Spencer to the <br />Mau`umae Beach with a trail with public access to the beach and not much more than <br />that. <br />Commissioner Campbell stated the Alakahakai Trail goes right through there <br />already. <br />Mr. Yuen stated the trail is on firm legal status. This trail continued on to Mauna <br />Kea, crossed the beach and goes to over to Hapuna. Mr. Yuen stated it was secured as a <br />long term public access and that it was pretty close to the ocean.

Mr. Yuen stated the property had zoning but would need a SMA permit and <br />the zoning was for single family homes. <br />Chair Replogle stated he was told by Curtis Tyler that this place was being sold. <br />Mr. Yuen stated it's been bought and sold. The last group that he met was <br />contractors and developers out of Maui but he wasn't sure if they sold it or not. <br />Mr. Yuen moved onto Ke`ei beach. Mr. Yuen stated often times the tax map key <br />numbers don't identify the specific parcels so they had questions as to what the <br />Commission thought was important to acquire and what were the purposes. On the <br />sketch map, most of property around what Mr. Yuen called Ke`ei beach is owned by <br />Kamehameha Schools. They have a summer camp facility there. There are a bunch of <br />kuleanas that are owned by various people; some by Hawaiian families and some have <br />been sold to others. <br />Chair Replogle stated it was an access issue and he heard at the Kona meetings <br />that Kamehameha Schools were talking about closing off access and that was what the <br />M <br />
