The <br /> University is an important element of the economy of Hilo and the entire County of <br /> Hawaii. For years the growth of the University has been restricted by the lack of <br /> available housing for our students and faculty. The University supports efforts within the <br /> community to address this shortage and provide this much needed housing. <br /> The Applicant has requested a letter of support from the University and while the <br /> University has not reviewed the considerations of this particular rezoning request,the <br /> University would like to reinforce its continuing need for additional student housing. <br /> Should the Council feel that the impacts of this particular project can be mitigated, the <br /> University fully supports any private effort to provide additional housing for our students. <br /> We ask that the Council carefully consider this application and support the housing it <br /> provides while safeguarding our quality of life in Hilo. <br /> Thank you for continuing support of the University of Hawaii at Hilo. <br /> Sincere,,, <br /> Harry Ya' , <br /> Director of'Real Property <br /> • <br /> ADMINISTRATION Administrative Affairs cSc /_ <br /> 200 W.Kawili St.Hilo,HI 96720-4091 • Phone:(808)974-7750 • Fax:(808)974-7542 • www.uhh.hawaii.edu Comm.No. K✓ <br /> /PG <br /> R <br /> An Equal Opportunity/Aftimiative Action Institution <br /> Ref.To: f <br /> Ref.Date.
