Robert is a kind, generous and hard-working person who has developed a <br /> high-quality neighborhood that is a benefit to the larger community. He has 30 years of <br /> experience in agriculture/permaculture, environmental work as well as personal growth and <br /> development. <br /> He is a man of integrity and has good relations with many in the local community. He has <br /> planted and tended hundreds of fruit trees and fenced off over 40 acres of land around the <br /> 12 parcels in the neighborhood to increase sustainability and prevent pig damage. He has <br /> invested significantly in the property to build a solid infrastructure and safe buildings and is <br /> committed to ensuring that any outstanding building permit issues are resolved. He stayed <br /> and continued to work on the land and infrastructure even after the devastating 2018 Lava <br /> Flow and the Pandemic. <br /> He has continuously attempted to communicate with the neighbors about traffic, sound, the <br /> gate, and other situations that may occur living in the subdivision. He has done this by <br /> creating multiple separate lots so that guests have a place to park that is off of Red Road <br /> and not in the way of the neighbors and there have been zero noise complaints in the last <br /> two years. He takes pride in upholding a drug and alcohol-free space where people stay <br /> present and are able to work through issues consciously. <br /> I ask you to approve this special permit request as Robert has demonstrated his care for the <br /> Aina, and the Puna community and his willingness to do the hard work necessary to create <br /> something of value for others. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Adam Aronovitz <br /> Adam Aronovitz <br /> Director <br /> Global Routes <br /> www.globalroutes.org <br />
