Chapter 2 of the Puna Community Development Plan (Malama I Ka <br />`Aina) states the importance of caring for our `aina. This chapter talks about the need to protect <br />and preserve historic, cultural, and scenic resources in addition to protecting and preserving our <br />native forests and geological features. <br />Year after year, Puna has seen widespread property development. It is evident that much of this <br />development happens by ripping /grading properties extensively and carelessly and, in some <br />cases, without the proper permits. The Puna CDP Action Committee feels that the lack of <br />available information and knowledge exacerbates the problem. <br />The Puna CDP Action Committee respectfully requests your consideration and approval to <br />distribute the enclosed "Building in Puna" brochure. <br />Sincerely, <br />Patti Pinto, Chair <br />Puna CDP Action Committee <br />Encl: Building in Puna brochure <br />Hawai `i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
