proposal will help build and maintain positive relationships in our community. <br />The present system is a failure in this regard and has created division in our <br />neighborhoods not unity. <br />■ Regarding "driving through a very populated sub-division, they are an on -going <br />nuisance that damages the quality of life for an entire neighborhood" - Please note <br />that not one of the five testifiers at your May 1411 meeting live in a location which <br />typically have vehicles that are attending events at SPACE drive past their homes. <br />They are not personally impacted by the traffic. <br />■ Regarding "These are activities that would be better located in a commercial area, <br />town center" - our reading of the PCDP indicates that the intent and spirit of the <br />plan is to promote exactly the kind of decentralized development that exists at <br />SPACE. <br />■ Regarding "the overwhelmingly negative testimony from neighbors" - This <br />statement is not factual and is based upon the opinions of five people from a <br />community of hundreds. We can provide over 290 positive and supportive written <br />testimonials in favor of SPACE. <br />Thank you for this opportunity to participate in this process. I trust that this testimony has <br />provided you with additional facts relating to this issue that will help you make a positive <br />recommendation to the Planning Director. Additionally, I hope that you now understand <br />that SPACE exists due to the will of the vast majority of the population living in Seaview <br />Estates and the surrounding community. And finally, I invite you all to a personal tour of <br />the facilities at SPACE, as well as the adjoining Ecovillage, Bellyacres, so that you can <br />have a deeper understanding of the nature of our SP amendment application firsthand. <br />Respectfully, <br />Graham Ellis <br />Chairman of the Board, Hawaii's Volcano Circus <br />
