Subject: Resolution 308-12 (Draft 2)
Dear Councilman Yagong:
I urge you to approve Resolution 308-12(Draft 2) authorizing the
initiation of eminent domain proceedings by the Corporation Counsel to
acquire easements for beach access at Papa'ikou.
Through our government, citizens should perpetuate, manage and improve
our access to the coastline, particularly the valuable Papa'ikou recreational
and fishing resource. The conduct of the landowners in their attempts to limit
and control coastline access discourages me and many others from freely
using the ocean and shoreline at Papa'ikou.
As a fisherman and friend of many surfers who resides on the Hamakua coast
and as a past recreational user of the ocean at Papa'ikou, I believe that
acquisition of these easements is important for our children and generations
to come as well as four ourselves.
Mahalo for your consideration of my testimony,
Dr. Keola G.A. Downing, Ph.D.
