From: Chris Hall <br /> To: WPCtestimonv; LPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Bills 121 and 122 <br /> Date: Monday,April 15,2024 4:12:14 AM <br /> Dear Chairperson Lin and Members of the Windward Planning Commission, <br /> write to you as a Big Island homeowner who rents out my home to guests. We benefit <br /> from the convenience of professional services such as personal chefs and massage <br /> therapists in the home. Just this Christmas, myfamily spent the holiday together and <br /> enjoyed the services of a personal chef. The proposed bill creates a vagueness around <br /> what constitutes an 'event,' which could potentially disrupt our day-to-day lives.A family <br /> dinner prepared by a chef or a therapeutic massage session in the comfort of one's <br /> home should not be equated with larger, disruptive events like weddings. These services <br /> are integral to our well-being and community, especially given the remote nature of our <br /> island living. <br /> These occasions are intimate for us or our guests. They are not events that should <br /> require special permits. Clarity in the bill would ensure that these cherished moments <br /> remain part of our lives without bureaucratic hurdles. I propose that the bill explicitly <br /> exempts such personal services from being classified as events, allowing us to continue <br /> enjoying these essential services that contribute to the unique fabric of Big Island home <br /> life. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Christopher Hall <br /> Owner, Kailua Kona Investments, LLC <br /> 803-431-1632 <br />
