Aloha,
I am writing in strong opposition to the special permit application by Teppy Mountain LL(PL-SPP-2024-000075) to host an annual multi-day festival on agricultural land in Papaikou.
Agricultural land in Hawaii is a limited and precious resource, meant for growing food for
island residents. Approving this permit would set a dangerous precedent for conversion of agland across Hawaii Island.
The applicant has already held this event several times without a permit, accumulated over
$34,000 in fines, and is currently appealing those fines while simultaneously seeking thispermit. This pattern of disregard for county rules does not inspire confidence that permit
conditions will be respected going forward.
Please deny this Special Permit.Thank you.
Vanessa Floyd
