Save Lot 52: Ensure First Responders' Rapid Access to Clissolds Beach in Laie
Save Lot 52: Ensure First Responders' Rapid Access to Clissolds Beach in Laie
The Issue
Property Reserve, Inc, (PRI) a Utah Corporation - through its land agent, Hawaii Reserves, Inc. (HRI) - is developing about 74 new residential units on its 14 beachfront lots on Clissolds Beach.
Lot 52 is one of them.
For decades, this vacant Lot 52 on Clissolds Beach has been used by First Responders - ocean safety, police, fire, ambulance, and even helicopters - as the staging ground for ocean rescue.
The quick access from and to Kamehameha Highway allows First Responders to safely and swiftly launch their jet skis and surfboards from Lot 52 into the ocean.
If vacant Lot 52 is cemented over, this critical access point will vanish.
Lot 52 has the nearest beachfront access point to the popular "Laie Point cliff-jump ". Time is of the essence during emergencies. Every minute counts.
The irreparable damages from losing this emergency access are too severe and too dreadful to consider.
Many tourists and locals have jumped from this 30-foot cliff edge, only to realize that the ocean currents and waves can be treacherous and unforgiving. There have been many drowning deaths from other activities around Laie Point as well. Fortunately, First Responders have also saved many, including swimmers, fishermen, BYU-Hawaii and Kahuku high school students and others.
This is the last opportunity to keep Lot 52 open.
The city must retain Lot 52 in perpetuity for public purpose and public safety.
As the population and tourist count increase, the city must plan accordingly. The city must support our First Responders with basic needed tools to perform optimal service to protect public safety. Risk management and forward-thinking public policies will also prevent Oahu taxpayers from unneeded expensive lawsuits.
We strongly urge PRI & HRI to exercise neighborly kindness and to provide public service for this much-needed public safety in Laie.
Preserving Lot 52 for emergency access will ensure that lives will continue to be saved. Please cooperate with the city. Live Aloha! Give Aloha! Lives matter!
The CEO of Property Reserve, Inc in Salt Lake City, Utah is Mr. Ashley Powell Ashley.Powell@PropertyReserve.org
Fortunately, this September 15, 2024 emergency ocean rescue ended with no fatality. Please support our First Responders.
