Item #2 Teppy Mountain LLC <br /> Given at WPC 2-6-25 Hearing <br /> 2-5-25 Nathalie Westerberg Testimony <br /> From: Nathalie Westerbera <br /> To: W PCtesti mony <br /> Subject: Special Use Permit <br /> Date: Wednesday, February 5,2025 8:42:05 PM <br /> Aloha Windward planing commission team, <br /> I am sending this message to urge the commission to grant a special use permit for the Falls on <br /> Fire event that gets put on each year. <br /> I attended the event this past year with my husband and it was one of the highlights of my <br /> entire year. It brought a community of like minded people together. In our day and age with <br /> life being so busy it's become a rarity that's deeply needed. It is very respectful and organized <br /> in such a way that it is not intrusive to the neighborhood. It brings the culture of burning man- <br /> which emphasizes radical self reliance, radical inclusion, gifting, de modification , radical self <br /> expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, participation, and leave no trace. Which all <br /> ironically are aligned with living Aloha. People coming together once a year to be happy, <br /> while participating in building a stronger community has positive ripple effects across the <br /> entire island community. <br /> One unhappy person opposing this event is a sign the group is doing a good thing not the <br /> single unhappy individual trying to bring others down to his sad level. <br /> So for the reasons listed above I respectfully ask that you please issue a special use permit for <br /> this event moving forward. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Nathalie <br />
