PIPe CO'' TY ^ 'a.)11i1 t / c> May 15, 2012 r,',Y 15 V1 9: 06 From: Stephanie Salazar 78 East Kahaopea Street Hilo, HI 96720 To: Planning Committee County Council County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, HI 96720 RE: Bill 229, before Planning Committee on May 16, 2012, 2pm session Dear Chairman Hoffman and Committee members I am a neighbor to the approximate 7 acre parcel that is subject of amendment to Ordinance No. 99-116.
