From: Jill Cleveland <br /> To: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Bill 121 Testimony-Quiet Hours and Homeowner Fairness <br /> Date: Tuesday,April 2,2024 2:53:04 PM <br /> Aloha Windward Planning Commission, <br /> My name is Jill Cleveland,and I want to express my concerns regarding the quiet hours proposed in Bill 121. The <br /> notion that my family and I would have to abide by a different set of standards on our property just doesn't make <br /> sense.We have a rental, sure,but it's also our home.We cherish our island's peaceful evenings as much as anyone, <br /> and like most folks,we're considerate of our neighbors.It's quite puzzling to think that while our property serves as <br /> our family home,not a rental,we would still need to follow these restrictive quiet hours.It seems unfair to impose a <br /> separate standard for homeowners who occasionally rent out their homes.Our ability to enjoy our property shouldn't <br /> be limited by rules designed for rentals when we are the ones staying there.I firmly believe that the existing state <br /> noise ordinances are sufficient and that additional restrictions are unnecessary.We need a policy that recognizes the <br /> difference between a home in use by the owner and a rented space. Let's keep things straightforward and fair for <br /> everyone. <br /> Warm regards,Jill Cleveland <br />
