City Staff has toured Big Island and has reviewed each of the potential access <br />points, which were platted back in the 1880s. The Planning Commission has reviewed this item, with a <br />number of the neighbors attending the public hearing and voicing their thoughts regarding tills issue. <br />Gaffron noted City Staff has not found any record of formal City Council action prohibiting <br />motorized vehicle traffic on the Island, and would recommend this topic be reviewed in the fiiture <br />due to the negative impacts of vehicles on the unimproved roadways. <br />Gaffron stated Access C is located about 200 feet from the NE conger of the Applicant's property, <br />and is 90 feet in width, with a platted right -of -way in a wetland area. The City has had surveyors <br />view this area to stake the lot lines and has determined that the roadway that has been utilized in <br />the past is in fact mostly located on the adjoining property. City Staff feels there is some area on either <br />side of the wetland to allow for pedestrian access and that there is sufficient room for two docks <br />to be installed at this access point. <br />Gaffron stated Access D is a platted right -of -way called Bay Place and is 50 feet wide with a <br />lagoon next to it. Gaffron stated a defined drivcwa-,- or walking path in this area does not exist <br />at this time, but there is sufficient room to allow a pedestrian to stay within the right -of -way. City <br />Staff feels there is adequate room to allow for two docks to be installed at this access point. • <br />
