need. Given the loss of hundreds of vacation rental in Puna due to the <br /> lava flow, is the Director of Planning going to make such an <br /> accommodation? <br /> :tructure <br /> The fee structure has been doubled from the past. Is this fee <br /> similar to and in proportion to the fee structure of other <br /> industries and services that the County regulates? Furthermore, what <br /> sensitivity exists to current hosts in lava zone 1 and 2 who have lost their <br /> insurance? <br /> • Why are site drawings necessary if permitted structures are already <br /> documented in terms of their footprint and layout on county tax records. <br /> The other specifications that are requested could be added to those <br /> maps and submitted to the county. <br /> • Why add the phrase "under penalty of perjury" to the requirement <br /> of a notarized affidavit. Where's the trust? <br /> • Quiet hours in Hawaii begins at 10pm. And yet for short-term <br /> vacation rentals, quiet time begins at 8pm. Where's the equity? <br /> • Signage for street address must include registration number. Why? <br /> Is this overreach? <br /> We hope this opportunity to revise the short-term vacation rental code will be <br /> conducted in a manner that acknowledges the role that hosts play in creating <br /> a thriving, sustainable, economy and at the same time supporting the <br /> distinctive Hawaiian values of Aloha, Kuleana and Ohana. Thousands of <br /> visitors come to Hawaii to experience these qualities and to enrich their way <br /> of life. As my Hawaiian kumus, Aunty Mahealani and Uncle Harry Jim, often <br /> told me, Hawaii has a sacred purpose to spread Aloha around the world. Let <br /> us work together so both the County and hosts experience each other as <br /> partners in this endeavor. 'A'ohe hang nui ke alu 'ia. No task is too big when <br /> done together by all. <br /> Robert Golden <br /> Executive Director <br /> Logo Puna Rising <br /> T: (917)447-3700 <br /> E: raolden46namail.com <br /> PunaRisina com <br />
