DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: <br /> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 9:02 AM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Cc: Stand Together Hawaii <br /> Subject: Revise Hawaii General Plan Testimony <br /> Attachments: Big Island General Plan 2045 Testimony .pdf <br /> Planning Department, <br /> The final draft of the Big Island general plan does not support the future of Big Island, nor does it clearly define <br /> what you want to do. It should be revised or thrown-out and redone.The current general plan looks like it will <br /> further regulate and fine the public, limit travel, cluster people into dense housing and more. It has no conclusive <br /> plan to help communities prosper.The main structure of the plan is "Sustainability"when it should be <br /> "Innovation".We want to move toward thriving communities, environmental support and economic alternatives <br /> that support farmers and homeowners and not put people in boxes while over-regulating them. <br /> The general plan you have is modeled throughout the United States/Mainland with the exact same words like: <br /> cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change codes, amend and more! How is it possible that it was created by the <br /> Big Island Planning Department when so many other General Plans around the country have the same language? <br /> Please review the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Thomas E Moore Jr <br /> 1 <br />
