for cultural and/or natural resource preservation purposes that are not necessarily under active management. <br /> Dwelling density on agriculture zoning up to 1 unit per acre. <br /> Whose lands are they talking about that they want to keep "in a largely natural state with minimal <br /> facilities consistent with open space..."? <br /> Page 85 <br /> Lands that are not capable of producing sustained, high agricultural yields without the intensive application of <br /> modern farming methods and technologies due to certain physical constraints such as soil composition, slope, <br /> tillable by machine, and climate. These lands are better suited for other less intensive agricultural uses such as <br /> grazing and pasture and can support additional residential densities when situated near UGAs. Dwelling density <br /> up to 1 unit per acre, although additional may be allow with permitted additional farm dwellings. <br /> Does this paragraph mean Hawai'i Planning can tell farmers what their "lands are better suited for"? <br /> This needs to be revised to be extremely clear. <br /> Page 111 <br /> 17.4 Land use applications shall identify as early as possible any existing or potential active living corridors that <br /> should be incorporated into the County's open space network. <br /> Are they saying they will have the power to incorporate private land if they feel it has an "active living <br /> corridor" during a land use application? Because this is what it sounds like it is saying and it is NOT <br /> right to give the Hawai'i Planning Department the RIGHT to be able to "incorporate" private land into <br /> the County's open space network if they decide. <br /> Private land is private land. and Hawai'i Planning shouldn't have the RIGHT to take private land and <br /> incorporate as they see fit. This sentence NEEDS to be revised. <br /> Page 112 <br /> Mountain For all zone districts As determined by the director to provide reasonable means to access public trail <br /> sections and public facilities <br /> Again they are trying to give more power to the Planning Director,please reject. <br /> These are only a few items that need serious revision. Please see the PDF I have attached and read this <br /> General Plan thoroughly because it is giving the Hawai'i Planning Department the power to take private <br /> lands away and they should have this right. It also gives the Hawai'i Planning Director more power than <br /> he should have. <br /> This General Plan is also extremely vague at times that it could mean multiple things. They need to revise <br /> this General Plan and make it extremely clear. <br /> Please, reject this General Plan for these reasons. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 3 <br />
