Exhibit 18-Letter from Cristito and Celeste Tiogangeo dated January 29, 2020. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Director is bringing this matter before the Planning Commission due to noncompliance with Condition R of Ordinance No. 14-056. The Department also recently became aware that the property has been listed for sale by the landowner since April 15, 2019 and therefore the landowner does not intend to develop the property with multiple-family residential units as represented to the County Council when the property was rezoned in 2010 and 2015. The landowner has been aware that the overgrown trees on his property are negatively affecting his neighbors properties for several years now; he was directed to remove the trees by the County DPW in June 2019 and January 2020; and the Planning Director has provided ample time (from October 2019 to the present) to comply with the County Code and conditions of Ord. 14-056. Over this period of time, the landowner has consistently shown a lack of concern for the wellbeing of the neighborhood and has not taken responsibility for properly maintaining his property. In his letters to the County, rather than indicating he would comply with Condition R, the landowner stated he did not think he was responsible for removing the unsafe flora and had not violated any laws. Please note that the Hawaii County Code (such as Chapter 20, Article 2) is the law of the County of Hawai'i and zoning 4
