I. INTRODUCTION <br /> Our reason for seeking this permit is to allow us the ability to bring in income through <br /> responsible hosting that will allow us to continue to operate our farm to its highest potential for <br /> the benefit of our family, our community and our Aina. Our hope would be that letting others <br /> into our world would serve to educate them on the need for more organic farming and <br /> importance of sustainable agriculture in our communities. <br /> Hosting responsibly is something we take very seriously and have no desire to push our land or <br /> its resources to their limits. To this end, we would not host more than one group at a time on the <br /> property. One "group" shall be defined as no more than 2 adults at a time to ensure that there is <br /> minimal use on the private wastewater systems, water, and electrical resources at any given time. <br /> Additionally, there are two legal driveways for access to the property with ample parking. Our <br /> two homes on property are at min 200' from any neighboring properties living structures leaving <br /> more than enough room for the guests and our neighbors' quiet enjoyment of their own spaces. <br /> This is exceedingly important for us as well as we do live on property managing the farm full <br /> time and value our own privacy greatly. We will not entertain stays that are less than 4 nights as <br /> my wife and I will be the sole "employees" of the B&B handling check in, check out, and <br /> cleaning ourselves. Our guests would be able to contact us at any time and we will make <br /> ourselves available to them, however, our check in and check out times would be between the <br /> hours of 10am-3pm 7 days a week. We would offer a free breakfast of fresh, organic avocados, <br /> and eggs from the farm. <br /> Our property is located at 73-4615 Kohanaiki Rd, Kailua Kona, HI 96740 (FIGURE 1). TMK <br /> 3-7-3-8-109. It is a gently sloping 3.3 Acre Avocado farm sitting at around 1250' elevation. For <br /> living structures, we have built a 2 bedroom farm dwelling that we are currently adding onto <br /> (detached bedroom over a 2 car garage in construction), an additional farm dwelling (I bed, I <br /> bath), and one agricultural storage shed(18'X30)'. Two other structures on the property you <br /> may see on a google map image search are the chicken coop and a cedar, wood fired, Japanese <br /> soaking tub. <br /> 4 <br />
