the heart of the activities there. The Application uses "retreat" over and over. Yes, <br /> there will be retreats, many different kinds, some that would be quite eye-opening to <br /> the Planning Commission.. But there is also the actuality of daily classes and <br /> workshops, with the attendant traffic. How much? Soon there may be just one or two <br /> classes a day. Eventually the there will be three, four, five classes per day, <br /> sometimes at the same times as a retreat, but at another part of the property. When <br /> fully functioning in a few years, at 15 participants per class, sometimes more, do the <br /> arithmetic: 45, 60, 75 participants coming and going in 25, 35, 45 vehicles, far more <br /> than the application states on p.33. And far more than we neighbors can tolerate. <br /> In 2012 my wife and I bought our 3+ acre lot in a a 5-lot Ag-residential subdivision just <br /> Kapoho side of where the Special Permit applicant's property lies. It was totally <br /> peaceful and quiet then, and there was only one other residence. Since then two <br /> more residences bought in, and they too were peaceful, quiet, easygoing, friendly. <br /> But over the last eight years we saw the gradual development— illegal development — <br /> of Lolia Eco Village. Now, it is asking to expand its activities — classes, workshops, <br /> retreats, dances, music — build more 2-story buildings, truck in water, set absolutely <br /> no limits on daily noise, such as amplified electronic music which is a main feature of <br /> many gatherings. We can't live wih that. <br /> So we have changed our mind. Deny the Special Permit. This case needs to go <br /> back to the Board of Appeals. <br /> Sincerely and Aloha, <br /> G.
