DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: Rogers < <br /> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2024 9:30 AM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Subject: Revise Hawaii General Plan Testimony Here <br /> Attachments: Big Island General Plan 2045 Testimony - Big Island General Plan 2045 Testimony .pdf <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 what <br /> 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 dense <br /> 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 thriving <br /> communities, environmental support and economic alternatives that support farmers and homeowners and not put <br /> 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 Plans <br /> around the country have the same language? <br /> Please review the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly. <br /> Much Mahalo <br /> Lori Rogers <br /> Sent with Proton Mail secure email. <br />
