DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: Terri Yoshinaga < <br /> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 2:32 PM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Subject: Big Island general plan <br /> Aloha 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. <br /> The current general plan looks like it will further regulate and fine the public, limit travel, cluster people into <br /> dense housing and more. It has no conclusive plan to help communities prosper. <br /> The main structure of the plan is "Sustainability" when it should be "Innovation". We want to move toward <br /> thriving communities, environmental support and economic alternatives that support farmers and <br /> 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! <br /> How is it possible that it was created by the Big Island Planning Department when so many other General <br /> Plans around the country have the same language? <br /> Please review the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly. <br /> Much Mahalo, <br /> Terri Yoshinaga <br /> i <br />
