Myconcerns are with Section G, Division 1.2Hosting Platforms, Transient Accommodation Rentals.

Including my bedroom and bathroom windows. Where is our privacy and security. We choose to
live in this land because 50 years ago, it was aL1 lush greenery, trees, and farming.
Not vacation transient who we don't know, come and go. How do we know if they are not sex offenders.
I have caught this in action and confronted this ordering them to stop and remove their filming.
Also, how wil.l. you address, the "Glamping" whereby people put up temporary structure tents etc, and
advertise onpublic sites.

Each one if one seeks a special. permit to do so and go before the Leeward PLanning the same as Bed and
Section 25-4-16.4 Fees Schedute.
Why can't the fees be the same for Owner Hosted, Operator Hosted, and the costtiest Un-hosted.
Perhaps this should be Owners of the Properties who does not reside on the Big Istand be charged the
Most.
(Bed and Breakfast in the past had to have owners living on the property, it changed allowing a hired
caretaker)
This encourages outsiders to take over. Making a Land of opportunity and making it more unaffordable to
Locals.
During the registration process of Un hosted, you were required to notify your neighbors within so many
feet.

This will allow us to know who is registered legal or illegal. And we have room to comment.
Don't make it difficutt to penalize all who paid STRV taxes in the past before all the rules and regulations
Of
the Big Island.

" Ref. Dale
Go after the ones who do it and do not pay taxes at All. Taxes collected is enormous, and what is
discouraging
is most of the money goes to the Billion -dollar rail on Oahu. We should not have to pay for this.
Honolulu created the traffic, building high rises with not enough parking especially in town, Koka'8hO and
Waikiki.
The burden should beall upon what amess they created.
