GREAT drawing/map of Pahonu that is similar to the one that RG found and posted. Enjoy! I know Pahonu will!!!

Kenji, you know me too well. The new surveyor's map is exactly what I needed...ten years ago.

When I think of the time I spent trying to put all the pieces together over the years...oh boy! On the plus side, it confirms much of my work as accurate. The only thing left on my wish list would be actual floor plans of the structures. Dare I hope?
More changes need to be made to the model now, especially regarding the rear courtyard of the main house and courtyard behind the garage. I also saw the video from Fat Jack. I'm assuming it was a drone flyover. It showed me several mistakes on my model at the rear of the main house. I'm going to have to start a list.
These documents are very interesting. Thank you! Correct me if I'm wrong here, but they indicate the seawall is actually an encroachment on state land based on the mean high tide line which has moved between .5 and 1 foot further up the beach since 1949! They say only the pocket of beach where the seawalls jut in remain as sandy beach, and even that is under water at the highest tides. I can only imagine how wide the beach was in 1933 when the house was constructed.
The end result is that, because the seawalls were built prior to 1964, they can remain for now with a 55 year easement granted. That does allow the state to possibly reclaim the land in the future, though.
