Stakeholders are stated in the document 47 times. Who are the Stakeholders and Partners with the government? What private and
<br />nonprofit agencies are involved in this process? It is deeply concerning that partnership with landowners and the general public is not
<br />stated anywhere.
<br />The plan should not be finalized until the State legislative session is over, the Govemor is done signing/vetoing bills, and the override
<br />deadline has passed to allow for accommodation of relevant changes.
<br />The document appears to be a template handed down from the United Nations Agenda 21 initiative that is using human based climate
<br />change models to implement a one world government attempting to "capture" local govemments. Thousands of scientists have come
<br />forward in recent years explaining that the human effect on climate is minuscule as compared to the sun.
<br />The document contains no explanation how the county will handle a breakdown of critical infrastructure (supply chain, energy,
<br />communications) due to impending space weather/solar events in which the Federal Government has been diligently preparing for.
<br />This document lacks sufficient detail in many areas to include tables, and maps. Syntax is sometimes garbled. Few acronyms are
<br />explained. There are notes indicating information may be added later. The table of contents and appendix are missing. Concems raised by
<br />commenters need to be addressed, and another round of public meetings held, before the plan goes to the Planning Commissions and
<br />County Council.
<br />The comment period needs to be extended, the document is too vague and the code of ethics and professional conduct of the American
<br />Institute of Certified Planners shall provide timely, adequate, clear, and accurate information on planning issues to all affected persons and
<br />to govemmental decision makers. See page 4.
<br />Purpose and Authority
<br />Authority Limits of the General Plan
<br />The 2045 General Plan contains no authority to change previously existing subdivisions or Zoning without collective collaboration. It's hard
<br />for community collaboration when the document contains obscure and garbled language. Clarify what is meant by "specific to the actions"
<br />and "because, as" Hawai'i Island Goals The goals of the General Plan synthesize those concepts and value statements adopted by
<br />ordinance in the 2005 General Plan and CDPs. The appendix includes tables used to complete the goals, including the source material from
<br />the 2005 General Plan and CDPs. page 8
<br />The LUPAG maps contain numerous zoning changes. Regulatory Implementing Actions in the 2045 General Plan, future land use maps,
<br />policies, and standards are specific to the actions through which zoning ordinances, subdivisions, and public improvements or projects
<br />are initiated or adopted because, as they must conform to and implement the general plan in accordance with the County Charter §3-15. p.

<br />Climate Mitigation
<br />A great deal of content is based on Climate Mitigation from human activity which has a minuscule effect on the earth's overall climate. Over
<br />99% of the climate affects are driven by solar activity, cycles, and space weather. The document completely fails to mention the threat of
<br />space weather and is almost entirely focused on carbon emissions promoted by the United Nations Climate Agenda. Our Federal Govemment has
<br />been preparing for space weather threats for many years, yet the Hawaii island plan lacks any reference to this even though critical infrastructure
<br />(energy, communications, transportation, and supply chain) is at risk due to increased solar radiation from our weakening magnetosphere. In 2015 the
<br />magnetosphere was down by 40% according to this Federal Doc.

<br />In October of 2016 President Obama issued the following executive order Coordinating Efforts To Prepare the Nation for Space
<br />Weather Events - Executive order 13744 (https:llwww.govinfo.govlappldetails/DCPD-201600692 )
<br />Section 1. Policy. Space weather events, in the form of solar flares, solar energetic particles, and geomagnetic disturbances, occur
<br />regularly, some with measurable effects on critical infrastructure systems and technologies, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS),
<br />satellite operations and communication, aviation, and the electrical power grid. Extreme space weather events—those that could
<br />significantly degrade critical infrastructure—could disable large portions of the electrical power grid, resulting in cascading failures that
<br />would affect key services such as water supply, healthcare, and transportation. Space weather has the potential to simultaneously affect
<br />and disrupt health and safety across entire continents. Successfully preparing for space weather events is an all -of -nation endeavor that
<br />requires partnerships across govemments, emergency managers, academia, the media, the insurance industry, non -profits, and the private
<br />sector.
<br />It is the policy of the United States to prepare for space weather events to minimize the extent of economic loss and human hardship. The
<br />Federal Govemment must have (1) the capability to predict and detect a space weather event, (2) the plans and programs necessary to
<br />alert the public and private sectors to enable mitigating actions for an impending space weather event, (3) the protection and mitigation
<br />plans, protocols, and standards required to reduce risks to critical infrastructure prior to and during a credible threat, and (4) the ability to
<br />respond to and recover from the effects of space weather. Executive departments and agencies (agencies) must coordinate their efforts to
<br />prepare for the effects of space weather events.
<br />Sec. 2. Objectives. This order defines agency roles and responsibilities and directs agencies to take specific actions to prepare the Nation
<br />for the hazardous effects of space weather. These activities are to be implemented in conjunction with those identified in the 2015 National
<br />Space Weather Action Plan (Action Plan) and any subsequent updates. Implementing this order and the Action Plan will require the Federal
<br />Government to work across agencies and to develop, as appropriate, enhanced and innovative partnerships with State, tribal, and local
