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 Governor 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 governments.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.Concerns 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 governmental 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 Government has
<br /> been preparing for space weather threats for many years,yet the Hawai'i 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://www.aovinfo.aov/app/details/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 governments,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 Government 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
