Nlay 14. zoo? <br /> N1r. Peter Hoffman <br /> Page 2 <br /> Bill 51 includes building standards above those required to meet Ml~'1' regulations such <br /> as constructing homes aatd other buildings one foot above base ,flood elevations. We feel <br /> that the NIhP regulations have been generated based on significant research effort and <br /> vetted with considerable resources when compared to the effort and resources available to <br /> the our County. t:hanging or upgrading the Nlf'P regulations, wtless warranted by a local <br /> condition as certified by an engineer, will ittcrease costs to hwneowners and businesses <br /> with no apparent reduction in flood insurance or other bencefit. <br /> We encourage the County Council to expedite changes to Chapter 27 needed to comply <br /> with NIFP regulations. Other changes should be atrePully considered with the proper <br /> time and resources, to vet all petKinent issues affected by the proposed changes. <br /> We respectfully submit our thoughts and concerns to the Hawaii County Council for <br /> <br /> consideration when enacting legislation regarding the health and safety of the residents <br /> and businesses of the Coutrty of llawaii- ~ <br /> I <br /> Please feel tree to contact meat (808) 676-3300 or Mc Frederic Berg at (808) 284-4221 ~ <br /> if you would like to discuss our thoughts and concerns further. <br /> Aloha. <br /> <br /> Jeffrey J. stor <br /> <br /> President <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br />
