I have known <br /> Robert for over 15 years, and I live just off the Kalapana Kapoho road nearby his project. <br /> Robert is kind, generous, and hardworking. He has developed a high-quality neighborhood <br /> that is a benefit to the larger community. He has 30 years' experience in <br /> agriculture/permaculture and environmental work as well as personal growth and <br /> development. <br /> He is a man of integrity and has good relations with the other neighbors at the Lolia <br /> Subdivision. He has planted and tended hundreds of fruit trees and fenced off over 40 <br /> acres of land around the 12 parcels in the neighborhood to increase sustainability and <br /> prevent pig damage. He has invested significantly in the property to build solid <br /> infrastructure and safe buildings and is committed to ensuring that any outstanding building <br /> permit issues are resolved. He stayed and continued to work on the land and infrastructure <br /> even after the devastating 2018 Lava Flow and the Pandemic. <br /> I ask you to approve this special permit request as Robert has demonstrated his care for <br /> the Aina, the Puna community and willingness to do the hard work necessary to create <br /> something of value for others. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> signature_2796225224 <br /> David Sands <br /> Co-Founder/Chief Architect <br /> Bamboo Living <br /> m: 808-283-6752 <br /> a: PO Box 1606, Pahoa, HI 96778 <br /> w: bamboolivine.com e:david(@bamboolivin2.com <br /> The First+ •nlY Structures on Earth with ICC-ES A.D.Droved Bamboo <br /> Climate Impact: cnn <br />
