‐2‐ 3) Applicant submitted “Arial View of Proposed Dock Permit Location & Adjacent Properties” He only and wrongly highlighted our neighbors on photo; excludes our 220 property with a 35 year old permit for a private dock in front of our cabin structures secured in 1986. Our seller preserved consistent use of the existing dock, property she enjoyed 75 years not disrupting neighbors in her division. This was the only dock permit for the 220 unique property preserving years of and for future intended use. Updated Comprehensive Plan, codes etc. that affect private owned side of Big Island. The City with Three Parks bought substantial lakeshore and property to restore a Park for public use about 20 years ago. Future intent/plans to purchase property on private side is now moot. Roads, alleys and the accurate access points for emergency vehicles were modified to right‐of‐ ways. They are not maintained by the city, marked or identified by signs. Section 78‐567 states the right of ways cannot be altered and property that abuts to public right‐of‐way or park controls the weeds, brush, sod, mowing etc. and incorporate the right‐of‐way as part of their yard without a permit… Summary We always supported applications/variances for 35 years; including an owner who needed our lakeshore lot pulled out on separate address after improving their property without a permit to comply w/codes. The application proposal negatively impacts property, neighbors, the drain field and intended use of 220 permit. The applicant proposes to travel .1 mile thru private property that abuts to right‐of‐ways not marked and maintained by the private owners in harmony with codes, neighbors and existing use. It was reported the applicant infers 220 does use a dock by his photo and desires its permit or “share”. Last year we lined up a crew to clear out overgrowth of trees, bushes etc. but was delayed due to Covid. A hired crew two years ago did not have the equipment or time to finish job. It is rescheduled for summer 2021 at a cost of 10K (more than applicants valued lot) depending on Covid status. Values increased ten and twenty fold but applicant’s lot remains at 9K value. He knowingly and wrongly proposes to land lock 220, tank its value and intended use for his gain/profit after the fact. It land locks our group of 3 inside lots abutting to 220 adding four (one w/structures for 75 years) without lake/dock. I oppose this application, respectfully ask our 35 yr permit on 220 w/35’ lakeshore remain undisturbed. A vacant 9K MV vacant lot purchased years ago on other side application to seize/profit at 220 expense, our neighbors and loss of use/access to the 35 year permit factored in our purchase is overreaching. Many houses have sold with docks and lakeshore attached on the market. Today one is active for 700K that applicant may submit an offer to. Or perhaps buy an easement from a neighbor for his investment.
