As you can see, the debris was deposited quite a ways onto his landscaping, sometimes broaching a naupaka hedge. Everything makai of that debris line is public beach that has been stolen from public use.

Musings: Haunting Hale 2
Since some have expressed doubt about assertions I made in my previous post, here is evidence of debris left on Joe Brescia's property by the high wash of the waves. Not a storm, just normal winter surf, as happens every year. I have seen it with my own eyes many times. At the bottom are two pictures of the ocean on the November day that these photos were taken.

Waves are a product of storms. Can not have one without the other .

I was referencing named storms, which are the only storms that matter when it comes to establishing the extent of the public beach.
"named storms" Do you mean hurricanes ? They do not establish anything to do with building setbacks or where the "public beaches" exist .
To clarify, normal seasonal high waves are not considered "storms" and their highest wash is used to establish the extent of the public beach. Named storms, like hurricanes, are excluded from shoreline certification. These photos were taken during normal, seasonal high waves.
I thought "high wash of waves" was already defined by the Hawaii Supreme Court's ruling?
Best send the pictures of all the noncompliant homeowners to their respective insurance companies to see what they think. Of course, final course of action will be that the homeowners will sue the state and county for approving the certified shoreline. The certifying agent is certainly not the deep pocket. What a perfect scam!
Hardening the shoreline has been a practice used for years. The State picks and chooses where they enforce.
We all want public beach and access.
The Brescia property would be expensive and may be considered "targeting" if the State steps in.
Not that "targeting" isn't a practice that this Council uses at will, but the State is a little more cautious.
The people lost a terrific access at Larson's Beach. This access was given to the County. All it took was a simple vote. The Council failed the people.
Now this access is gone forever.
It was wide and long, a big chunk of land and needed.
Not a peep is heard from the usual North Shore Crybaby testifiers.
The reason no one is complaining about this perfect access is because JoAnn, da Hoos, Bynum and Hosser's boychick Chock all wanted more. They cry more and Kauai is left with nada.
These NS purists sho' ain't very pure. Hypocrites....if Yuki, Gary, Tim and Chock had just said "thank you" Kauai's people would have an access to what will soon be a guarded beach.
This beach access would have been the only thing of substance that the Council has done in years.
Outside of course, the illegal land takings and anti-Ag laws they have passed.
What a f*ckin' weird Council we have.
unchrucc ntrywrnAnonymous at 3:55 PM, you disgust me. The very notion that one should sue the County because of its percieved deep pockets and willingness to settle event to most frivolous lawsuits is just appalling. Where is your County Pride, man? When you score a county jackpot, you are taking services away from you fellow islanders. We don't need people like you.
The point is your public rights in Hawaii to the beaches, not where the certified shoreline is. Typically landowners only get the shoreline located when they want to build and must have it locad. Our rights our not limited by past shoreline certifications.
The shoreline location does move,shorelines are dynamic, but the setback and location of the houses are based on that and do not move. Proper setbacks are necessary as well as accurate shorelines.
Haena was a burial ground. Move everyone out so the deer and the antelope can play and seldom will be heard a journalist's word and the shoreline will be empty all day!
The sands are burial grounds, no one should be building in known burial grounds, his house could have been moved or made heaven for forgive me, made smaller, to not desecrate. Do you really think anyone has spent a peaceful night there? There were no winners with this sick slick development.
