I know that area well. The surveying methods used on Big Island are “third rock from the corner of the tree with the red flowah, then 100 steps left to the old burned out car, then make a right two times and walk uphill until you find the big monkey pod tree.”
I have property in that area. First time I went over there I walked into the HPP office and asked how to find it. They told me how many telephone poles it was down 19th ST. Gotta count the poles! lol
And, that is exactly how this property was "surveyed."
The worst part for the homeowner is that because the property has been developed, she's been having to pay higher property taxes.
An attorney for PJ’s Construction told the outlet the developers didn’t want to hire surveyors for the land, where lots are identified by telephone poles.
