Mr. Ga�fi'on_ Council Mcmbers:
This I��t�r is to addre;ss a big problem with the 90' public acccss on cho Ea_�t sidc nfBig Island
adjacent to John Uran's property. This road has bcCn uscd for ovcr 3U ye3rS by Ihe laltd Owncrs
on Big Island for limited aeeess to ' roperiy, intendcd on using this access this yc;ar to
movc building matcrials to my sit at 180 Bi�ISland.
7phn Uran, the adjacent land owner, has usui this road and until la.st win[cr he lias recogtuzed t��e
fael th�1t this is a public access. In fae�,I paid John to grade/level the road to the bdck of tny
property so that 1 could move matcrials along this rodd to my building site.
A recent survcy, however, sh�wed that a portion of the road is aclually on lohn's property, T}us
survey, several eita[ions issued by thc city forcing Jokx.a to remove junk from thc ist-�nd and aa
ongoing teud be[wt;cn lohrt and snot,4aer la,ud owncr on tlie islsnd have procnptcd John to block
the road refusing access to anyone. I�e hac indicated that thc r,�son for blooking tha road is to
protect a beaeh hc has con�trueted on the road, Yct,he continues to move vchicics and hcztvy
equipment on and offthe island usiug this acCCss.
John h�s blocked tho road using a disablcd vcl�icic(lasi.year),his [ruck and SnOw he h3s puSh�:d
from his property onto thc road forming a blockade, Whcn 1 contaeti;d hun abou[ using tl�e ro,�d
to movc matcrials co my building si�e hc told me tha�hc would I�t mc use tl�z aeccss for a$2,SUU
fcc. As a resulc of his blockadC and [oll, I was fo�cr;d to use an slternate routc through the interior
of thc isla.nd causing ovcr$5,00(1 in damage to my vchicle and materials. Joh❑ appears to bc very
unstabte and I'm not sure what ac[ion l�e tnight lake sliould someone attcmpt to movc his
blockade and use the road.
I still havc some expensivc materials that I would like to move to thc island for building tl�is
spring, The size and natttre of thesc matenials (la�gc windowc, doors and cabi,,,;ts) makc;t
difficult to use thc alcc�ate route. T'm asking the city look at this situation immedistcly,
cOclside�ng a tetnpor2iry injunetion against John Uraa blocking[hu access/road uutil a dccision on
advcrse possescion and/or the dCvclopment of plotted access uin bc addresscd.
Also, we have several buildings on lhc East sidc of thc island ac;cessible frOm [his ro3d. JoLu1's
actions will pri;vcnt cincr�cncy acccss (medic3!and r�re)TO[hese proper[ics froln [hC iCc or a
buge. I undcrst�wd that wc asstune a certain risk utilizing our property on the island. ]3ut John's
actions could inerease [his risk resulting in damage or injury and aclion against him and the city
should a ca�asffophe oc� . e i�eed to address this sittiation heforc it geLc furlhcr out of hand.
