From:Joe Thull To:Melanie Curtis Cc:Jeremy Barnhart Subject:Re: LA21-000017 / 480 Big Island / Council Follow Up Date:Tuesday, April 13, 2021 4:11:30 PM Hi Melanie, Yes, let’s extend my application for other 60 days, if that is an option. Here are my notes, from the two discussions, Nancy, Ted Hanna, my wife (briefly), and I met outside. Ted tried to mediate, he revisited what the Counsel and Mayor Walsh had just said, I asked Nancy multiple ways if we could work together if she was willing to share a dock, all my suggestions were answered with an emphatic no and more......, the only thing she said I should do is to withdraw my application and go away. Ted also said to Nancy that it is not just Joe, that he would like a place to park his boat from time to time, he said it would not be that frequent, but he would like that option. After little headway, and not long after that, Ted looked at me and said "I think we're done here." So frankly, I am not sure about the next steps with Nancy, I guess is a neighbor may have to reach out and connect with her. Not sure how you want to capture this….but that is how it went. As a side note: Ted asked Nancy if she would grant me an easement on the other side of her lakeshore lots closer to my lot, she said no as she is in the process of selling it. Ted said if you’re selling I am seriously interested in buying it. Nancy said you better hurry, Ted gave her his business card and said call me I am serious. Ted then looked at me and said if I buy it I will grant you an easement - my assessment, a long shot at best. In the other gathering were the following lot owners: Jud and his wife Bollis's and their son Chris. Dave Saari and his brother This discussion was more open, healthy, and reasonable, which I believe may lead to some concessions/acceptance given what the Council said, neighbors figure it out or we will..... The discussion had a couple of themes: Theme 1: Can't you just find an easement? "I am sure there are other willing parties", but when I asked if they might know someone, no one came forward with a name, I then asked if the Bollis's would reconsider my easement offer and they said no. Jud did not offer up an easement during the discussion, so I am not sure where he stands.
