DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: Susan Horie < <br /> Sent: Monday, September 23, 2024 8:33 PM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Subject: Objection to Hawaii General Plan testimony <br /> Planning Department, <br /> The final draft of the Big Island general plan does not support the future of <br /> Big Island, nor does it clearly define its goals. It should be thrown-out and <br /> redone. <br /> The current general plan looks like it will further regulate and fine the <br /> public, limit travel, cluster people into dense housing and more. It has no <br /> conclusive plan to help communities prosper. <br /> The main structure of the plan is "Sustainability". Sustainability of <br /> what? How about working toward thriving communities with economic <br /> alternatives that support farmers and homeowners in the tradition of <br /> cooperation and aloha that is Hawaii <br /> The general plan you have is modeled throughout the United <br /> States/Mainland with the same words: cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, <br /> change codes, amend and more! How is it possible that it was created by <br /> the Big Island Planning Department when so many other General Plans <br /> around the country have the same language? <br /> Make a General Plan for Hawaii that protects and honors its people. <br /> Susan Horie <br /> Honokaa, Hawaii <br />
