April 25, 2021 Dear Mr and Mrs Thull, Upon review of #2038, #4465 and easements after our meeting I submit the following: The City may have initially said to “go for 230’s dock permit”. But your disregard of material facts with testimony discovered and delivered during due process for Council’s final decision frustrates the situation. IE: “I should be grateful informed an application revokes my dock permit” Resolution #2038 states “...any other requests from other inland property owners” It does not state vacant lot owners. I submit no inland property remains at BI without use of a dock. Vacant lots vastly differ from intent and void a hardship. 230 is in good standing with #2038, neighbors and the City for 35 years. I oppose an inference to add a condition on permit, police me with intent to revoke for you. 480 BI is in a group of five vacant lots ranging .16-.28 acre (no sewer, structures, wells or docks). No historical use of such exists or was provided. 480 abuts Bird Sanctuary donated to Three Rivers Park, they may oppose with many restrictions. Comment to council “I am open to anything” yet it is reported: Only approached preferred property for a free dock or easement you value at 20K. Rejected two offers to buy your inland vacant lot; “no” it is not for sale. Dismissed idea to purchase lakeshore cabin, take a free easement then sell it. Dismiss joining Power Squadron for a dock at nominal fee w/in walking distance I must defend any property rights. It includes grandfathered historical use in writing from the city to 230 BI; testimony 44 years prior to #2038 granted for 60K (not 45) purchase. It is a drain field w/trench, mature trees and erosion perhaps from vehicle use discovered in video, trench clogged from it or storm taking down a tree with power line. Precedent was set 20 years ago not to revoke/share #2038 to 230 BI for unique situation. Abandoned roads are incorporated as yards for abutting properties. It is not realistic to assume the City is privy to conditions of right-a-ways (drain field, trench, trees etc) as owners are liable for damages, maintenance and expenses as they deem necessary. Big Island comp plan, ordinances/regulations affect a small community of 47 owners as stewards of the land; 2nd and 3rd generations with a level of trust in the City and LMCD.
