Commissioners, do you have any questions of Mr. Lim? <br />Hearing -. Mr. Lim. <br />LIM:I was just going to give up the floor. I know that they hav <br />people from the public adjoining the property who have been patiently waiting all day long to <br />come and say their piece, so I wanted to give up the floor, after which I will make my <br />presentation. <br />GALDONES:Fine.

Now I'm not going to be one to <br />poo-poo a park in any sort of way in Kona, okay. We are only -, we don't know to what <br />degree if that's, if they're saying it'll be a park, but in the end it'll be someone's yard or it <br />really is a park, we just want to express some concern, the owners wanted, you know, the <br />4 <br /> <br />
