Subject: Support for special use permit PL -SPP -2022-000016
To Windward Planning Commission
As a person who volunteered for Hawai'i Eco Retreat, I am writing to support the above application for a special use
permit. I believe we need places like this to not only help build a stronger community but also to create jobs and a clean
local economy based on education and tourism.
I was a visitor using the facilities and urge all that are concerned to visit the center and see what an inspirational place it
is indeed. The gardens/orchards and off -grid infrastructure exemplify how people can live more closely to the land and a
sustainable style that adds to the solution of the carbon crisis instead of creating more problems. Also since Kalani has
taken a big step back, this type of center is in great need.
I understand that HER is sensitive to their neighbors and have initiated conversations and guidelines to address
concerns.
Your approval of this application would be very appreciated.
Sincerely, Kelrick Barrow
