DATE: September 2, 1997 RF,: COMM. NO. 357
PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 9:07 a.m.
Chair and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Public Works and Parks, to which was referred Communication No. 357,
reports as follows:
Communication No. 357 transmits a request for a sign permit and a sidewalk use permit
information sheet to the Council from Linda L. Brown of Linda's Cheesecakes at the Keawe
Street Cafe. This request was received by the Council on June 6, 1997. The address provided
for Linda's Cheesecakes was 264 Keawe Street, Hilo, Hawaii.
During the course of researching this application, Committee staff learned that this business had
apparently closed and that Ms. Brown's lease for the premises had been terminated. As a result,
on July 16, 1997, Committee Chair Yagong wrote to the applicant and informed her that because
her request was clearly dependent upon her possession of the premises at 264 Keawe Street, the
Committee had stopped processing this request. Committee Chair Yagong asked Ms. Brown to
inform him in writing by August 18, 1997 if she wished the Committee to resume processing her
application.
In the letter to Ms. Brown, Chair Yagong further informed her that if no response was received
by August 18, 1997, that he would recommend that the Council file Ms. Brown's request and its
accompanying attachments. (See Communication No. 357.01.) This letter was mailed via
certified mail and a return receipt, indicating that it had been received on July 18, 1997, was
returned to the County Clerk's office.
No response to this letter was received. In Communication No. 357.02, Chair Yagong so
informed the Council of this result of his inquiry and recommended that the Council file
Ms. Brown's request.
After consideration of all of the above, Your Committee reports that it recommends that
Ms. Brown's request, contained in Communication No. 357, be filed.
