...“In order to ensure the coastal access for fishing and hiking purposes the public has enjoyed for many years in this area, the applicant shall provide lateral public access along the 60-foot wide portion of the Shoreline Setback Area along the top of the sea cliff.”
We have also been told by neighbors that we should tell people that they are NOT welcome on our land at all - this is to limit property owner liabilities, and allow for reasonable insurance premiums...
Scott - I have been working with this extensively in reagrds to Waiopae - and honestly I dont think insurance companies lower premiums for making people feel "unwelcome". What some of my clients have done (and they only have a 40' shoreline setback) is put a "no trespassing sign" up at the setback limit. I would ask your insurance company what they require to keep your premium lower. Making people feel "unwelcome" may not be the best choice. What one of Seaside Bob's clients did is make friends with the fisherman who accessed the shoreline in front of his house - and those fisherman actually saved his house from theft when he was gone. Another client positively addressed the issue by creating a beautiful path in the exact same path that the fisherman had been using to access the shore to the side of their yard. Win win for all.
