suggestions, to be naked or otherwise participate in any activity involving <br /> sexual contact or intimacy. <br /> HER seems to be playing with fire of a sexual nature. We don't see licensed <br /> psychological or health professionals managing any of this. We don't see scientifically <br /> peer reviewed papers supporting Robert's various theories. Importantly PD has not <br /> addressed any of this. There is no input from Tourism authorities on Tantra as bonafied <br /> eco-tourism that the state supports or Department of Health. And while generically <br /> some may call this wellness, clearly for some, as we document below, some very <br /> disturbing incidents have occurred, and at times it seems it is the opposite of wellness <br /> and as such does not meet the burdens of earning a Special Use Permit. <br /> Community objections to the PD report, recommendations and limited role of PD taking <br /> concrete measures in insuring a reasonable impact on neighbors and the County: <br /> 1) Total omission of the central elements of this business mentioned above. While lodging <br /> and food services are responsible for much of the revenue, if you look at the HER <br /> website you clearly see the marketing drivers are related to this clothing optional <br /> community concept. <br /> 2) Failure to provide information as to an examination of other types of potentially suitable <br /> agricultural uses. see p. 4 discussion on soil types. A simple general soil analysis <br /> hardly speaks to the possibilities related to green houses, particular specimens that <br /> might do well in that soil type and many other possibilities. No expert analysis was <br /> furnished. Frankly most AG land lots are not suitable for real agricultural use just based <br /> on the economics of small lots. But the solution isn't anything goes. <br /> 3) The report does not make constructive recommendations that are enforceable: eg a <br /> limitation on the number of guest nights stayed per annum or the number of day visitor <br /> guests whether annually or monthly, the maximum number of resident staff and <br /> volunteers, etc. The report doesn't make any public reporting requirements regarding <br /> taxes paid like GE and TAT and headcounts. <br /> 4) The report just seems to adopt what we speculate to be the consultant's <br /> recommendations despite other agency objections and the report does so with almost no <br /> technical explanation or meaningful justification. <br /> 5) As to" B) Desired Use..." on p5. The commission will hear more from other neighbors <br /> but there have been loud events (using large loudspeakers) at the subject TMK and no <br /> one believes that will stop. In one instance someone personally familiar with an <br /> occurrence of such loud sound said it was like someone was sexually moaning over a <br /> loud speaker for a prolonged period of time and it was so loud it could be heard over 500 <br /> feet away. In fact, we believe there will be more loud events if the Applicant is given the <br /> protection of this permit. <br /> 6) As to "C) shall not burden public agencies..." There is no specific mention of any Public <br /> Health Authorities in the report as it may relate to nudity and public sex and possibly <br /> orgiastic type behavior. If PD investigates, neighbors report that it will likely find things <br />
