<br /> <br /> <br />Ms. Nicholson asked about parking and if they are planning to use it for a parking area. Mr. Welsh <br />replied that they definitely need more parking there but there is some issues with the cliff and feels that <br />it should just be left in open space. If the County acquired the property, they could widen the road and <br />not have any issues with encumbrance of the private property fringent on the road. <br /> <br />SAMMIE STANBRO <br /> <br />Ms. Sammie Stanbro talked about how she and her son was actively involved in the beginning stages <br />to implement the 2% Fund working with former Mayor Harry Kim. She talked about how the poll was <br /> as <br />a result of grassroots collaboration of community members including Commissioner Debbie Hecht <br />who was a huge part of the 2% initiative. <br /> <br />She is here in support of Fund was <br />created. It is used by hundreds daily, tourists and residents. The property is now owned by Mr. Ed <br />Olson who paid over 300,000.00 and is willing to donate 55,000.00 to the County for management and <br />maintenance if acquired. There is no property owner in the area against the sale and TPL is willing to <br />volunteer their time if necessary. Since the 2% Fund was created for acquisition with matching funds, <br />if the County is unable to provide the entire cost, HCF may be able to pay a portion. <br /> <br />Mr. Hirakami asked if she or a group submitted a suggestion form to start the process. Ms. Stanbro <br />replied that yes it was submitted by Mr. Stephen Welsh. <br /> <br />Mr. Van Bergen asked if Mr. Olson is willing to wait until next year and asked if there is an appraisal. <br />epolo if <br />there is one. <br /> <br />Mr. Au asked if they talked to all the nearby landowners. Ms. Stanbro replied that they talked to the <br />adjacent owner and landowners directly across the street from this property and they are all aware. <br /> <br />Mr. Au stated that it seems that the County road encroaches over the property and asked if there are <br />anything. <br /> <br />Ms. Stanbro thanked the Commission for their time and hard work.
