Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes - May 13, 2013 access agreement does try, you know, to make an effort to mark in the field where this access is – so we know. B. Command: Is that pasture land? J. Jokiel: On the road up – there’s pasture land on both sides. And then there’s a forested parcel that’s not developed at all – that’s – you can’t see it but her name is Perkowski – and that’s pretty heavily forested with eucalyptus, bamboo and waiwi. And it’s just about – it’s just a couple hundred meters – maybe a half mile at the most – through her parcel to the forest reserve – the forest reserve abuts Finance Factors – a Finance Factors parcel – which is really, really huge too – and there’s nothing going on their either. B. Command: And there’s no existing road there, is there? J. Jokiel: No. There’s an existing road that goes through the parcel but it does not go where the public access is identified on the access agreement. I think it’s called a public access plan. And I can send that to you Bobby \[Command\], if you want. So, this is just one of a thousand challenges that we come up against when we try to create public access. So, again, I think the State – and I’ve got to work with Lisa Hadway on this to see if – you know – how aggressive they’ll follow through forward with, you know, opening this access up – ‘cause it needs – you know – whatever – cutting a trail or marking a trail – potentially clearing a parking area ‘cause there’s no parking area at the end of the road – But that does cost some money but, you know, I think that’s - those are manageable problems…The red lines are the property boundaries. Not a road or anything. And the public access plan basically identifies from the end of the blue line on this map…which is the road – there’s kind of this hand drawn route that goes kind of where we wander around right to what looks like the corner of Finance Factors and the forest reserve. So, that’s one of the projects – I’m trying to go around – kind of - the islands by region. This is further north for the people in here – there’s two parcels – and I don’t have a pointer – I apologize – but I know one of the things we talked about Willy-Joe \[Camara\] is - a little while ago is – you know – there’s – people want to get access to small forests – the small forest is on the right side – there’s kind of a…you guys know where it is. So, that forest reserve is not a huge place – but it does sound like 6
