Landowner declines managed public access to Kilauea Falls; KNA urged to document requests in writing

Beryl Blaich told the board that Mr. Somers has declined the committee’s suggestions for managed public access to Kilauea Falls. According to the minutes, Somers did say that "if anyone wants access to Kilauea Falls all they have to do is ask him," a statement Beryl urged the group to memorialize in writing to Somers and his attorneys to create a record of requests.

Tim Kallai added that the county is proceeding with surveying and clearing a P‑1 access between the Somers property and the stream/estuary shoreline. The Somers committee recommended the community present written requests to establish an official paper trail; no formal access agreement or timeline was recorded in the minutes.
