here is also a link to a 2005 doc on the HPP master plan, which has the following to say about the shoreline:

"In early 1996, the Community Action Committee held two meetings at which changes were made to accommodate the desire of the community. The changes to the initial concept map are as follows:
The shoreline extended park area stretching the full length of the subdivision's shoreline has been deleted and will remain zoned agricultural. The reason for this change is the history of this area and the hard-fought court battle between current residents of that area and the county to allow building.
Prior to its current Ag zoning, it was zoned conservation which did not allow for residences to be built. It is possible that through dedication of lands through gifts to Paradise Hui Hanalike that it may become a park but our plan should not be tied to that premise."
While this is only a guess, it sounds to me like the access easement over the oceanfront properties that runs above the high water wash might have been a trade-off for converting conservation zoning to ag ... without which zoning change your parcel would be unbuildable (per this doc). I would be interested to know if in fact that's what occurred.
