April 18, 2024 <br /> Ackerman Ranch, Inc <br /> 79-7540 Mamalahoa Highway, <br /> Kealakekua, Hawaii 96750 <br /> Barbara DeFrano <br /> Chair of the Leeward Planning Commision <br /> West Hawaii (Kona Office) <br /> 74-5044 Ane Keohokalole Highway, <br /> Building E, 2nd Floor, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 <br /> Aloha e Barbara, <br /> I am writing to express my strong support for the special use permit application submitted by <br /> Ackerman Ranch to host events on their property. Ackerman Ranch has been a pillar in our <br /> community for generations, earning widespread respect for their commitment to our local <br /> heritage and land stewardship. <br /> Kona has a notable lack of venues for hosting gatherings, which limits our options for <br /> community and private events. Ackerman Ranch offers a safe and beautiful setting that would <br /> provide a much needed space for these events. <br /> Ackerman Ranch offers a venue that is designed to have minimal impact on the land. Their <br /> proposed use of the property for events respects the natural beauty of the land with an open-air <br /> pavilion, making it an ideal setting for a variety of events. <br /> I strongly support this permit application and hope you consider it favorably for the benefit of <br /> our entire community. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Aonani Fernandez <br />
