Bob, I really respect your grasp of legal concepts and appreciate your explanations of the law to us lay people.
But,
I think you are mistaken to think that SPACE is "basically thumbing their nose at the people." They have admitted to exceeding the limits of their permit and are attempting to rectify the situation.
As an artist myself, I can tell you that creative people think a little differently than those of the more "right brained" and need grounding occasionally to stay the arena(my wife helps with this). It's part of the process; positive, progressive, and quite different from the constraints of a legal document.
I don't see SPACE as thumbing their nose at anyone; But meeting new needs as they come up, and doing it as creatively and expeditiously as possible. They aren't violating the law as much as influencing and shaping it.
I've got to ask; Who is responding to the needs of the Puna Makai community in a more direct and effective way; SPACE, or CoH?
Education, Economy, sustainability, Arts and entertainment; SPACE or CoH?
And this is costing the taxpayers how much?
Believe me, the whole negative can of worms is the result of one or two people looking through the blinders of jealosy, envy, and bitterness. Isn't this obvious enough from the posts in this forum?
I hope the County can see the benefit of allowing SPACE to help meet the needs of our community.
Ammend the legal thingie!
