TO: FROM: <br />Robert Fitzgerald Bob Wilkins <br />Director, Dept. of Parks and Recreation 20 Akepa St. <br />101 Pauahi St. Hilo, Hi 96720 <br />Hilo, Hi 96720 <br />RE: Designation of LALAKEA PONDS area of LELEIWI BEACH area, County of Hawaii- as <br />LALAKEA PONDS SHORELINE PARK <br />Via executive order No 267, 1927, the State consigned the shoreline area covered by tax <br />maps 2 -1- 17,18,19 to the County, then known as Leleiwi Beach Park area for use as public <br />parks. <br />There are presently five County Beach Parks and the Lalakea Ponds within this area: <br />Kealoha, Carlsmith, Waiolena, Waiuli, and Richardson beach parks. The Lalakea Ponds shoreline <br />is undeveloped and has no beach, but is the site of calm ponds protected by the reef, but open to <br />the sea. <br />This request is intended to give clear recognition and protection to the Lalakea (white tip <br />shark) Ponds as a shoreline park. No cost will be incurred by the county. The land is county <br />property. Three signed Public Shoreline Access entrances exist as the stubouts of Lokoaka, <br />Akepa, and Kioea streets. A county public parking lot is at the Lokoaka street stubout. <br />No development is required nor desired; no county services are necessary. Access trails <br />have been cleared by volunteer groups including schools, Community Association, Sierra Club <br />and others. <br />Designation as a shoreline park requires a County Council resolution. I have contacted <br />our County Councilman and our Community Association. <br />Incl: Tax maps, photo, Exec. Ord. No. 267 <br />Copies: D.
