DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: Linda < <br /> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2024 4:23 AM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Subject: Revise Hawaii General Plan Testimony <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 <br /> clearly define 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, <br /> cluster people into dense housing and more. It has no conclusive plan to help communities <br /> prosper. <br /> The main structure of the plan is "Sustainability" when it should be "Innovation". We want to move <br /> toward thriving communities, environmental support and economic alternatives that support farmers <br /> and homeowners and not put people in boxes while over-regulating them. <br /> The general plan does not benefit the public. This plan you have is, modeled throughout the <br /> United States/Mainland with the exact same words like: cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change <br /> codes, amend and more! <br /> How is it possible that it was created by the Big Island Planning Department when so many other <br /> General Plans around the country have the same language? <br /> Please review the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly. <br /> Much Mahalo <br /> Linda Kroll <br /> <br /> <br />
