I <br />believe we need places like this to not only help build a stronger community but also to create jobs <br />and a clean local economy based on education and tourism. <br />I am a frequent visitor using the facilities (playing pickleball) and urge all that are concerned to visit <br />the center and see what an inspirational place it is indeed. The gardens/orchards and off -grid <br />infrastructure exemplify how people can live more closely to the land and a sustainable style that <br />adds to the solution of the carbon crisis instead of creating more problems. <br />I understand that HER is sensitive to their neighbors and have initiated conversations and guidelines <br />to address concerns. <br />Your approval of this application would be very appreciated, <br />Karen Hester <br />karen@hesternet.net <br />510-654-6346 <br />whatsapp +15106546346 <br />1 <br />
