He also built a tall rock wall that blocked a classic ocean view of the bay and many in the community tried to talk to him about it, but he didn't engage them at all and the neighborhood association chose not to pursue removal. He doesn't want to provide easements, he has stated that he wants the whole block of land which is why he is doing a quiet title.
Many years ago George Harrrison blocked beach access with his property in Hana and the State forced him to provide an easement. It's State law and it doesn't require a lawyer/money battle, it just requires the government officials to do their jobs. (Damn, I just fed Kalakoa!) The rock wall would be a County issue, and if it violates any laws then a simple complaint to the Planning Dept. should take care of it. (There I go again!) The neighborhood board probably doesn't have any authority and it doesn't have to be them to file the complaint.
But I get your point, Eric. He is saying that he wants to work with the community, but there may be other circumstances that suggest otherwise.
