From: Audrey Ichida <br /> To: Robert Silber;iohn(s)landolanninahawaii.com;WPCtestimony;Alison Williams <br /> Subject: Special permit application PL-SPP-2022-000016 COMMENT <br /> Date: Thursday,January 5,2023 8:37:01 PM <br /> Dear Planning Committee, <br /> I am writing in support of special permit application PL-SPP-2022-000016 for Rober Silber. <br /> I have known Robert for over 7 years and have had multiple business dealings with him as <br /> well as being his friend. <br /> In my experience Robert is true to his word and has conducted himself and his business with <br /> integrity consistently. He has added value to the Puna community by enriching the land with <br /> healthy home grown organic foods and maintaining an alcohol and drug-free space. <br /> The special permit would allow the land at 13-2060 Lolia Place to be more fully utilized in <br /> service of the community. The permaculture and healthy living that Robert supports is <br /> important for increased resilience of our community. The space and gardens that Robert has <br /> built are an asset to lower Puna and good work like this should be encouraged by the planning <br /> committee. <br /> I understand that noise concerns and traffic are a concern of Puna residents, throughout the <br /> area, not just in this case. The committee should seek to allow a healthy balance of land use <br /> such that gatherings can still happen and quiet country living can also exist. This permit <br /> represents a healthy balance between consideration for neighbors'peace and the ability to <br /> gather. <br /> Please approve special permit application PL-SPP-2022-000016. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Audrey Ichida <br />
