I just got a copy of your June 24th schedule of the 2045 General Plan public meetings for the CrQGnt
Council from the clerk yesterday morning (attached below).
have many concerns about the 2045 General Plan but the first and foremost is nowhere in the June
224, 2025 list of upcoming agenda meetings does it mention discussing the "Change Map" or
ZONING Changes to our TMKs.
If I would have been notified of the July 9th hearing as requested several times, I would have testified that
the Plan should have been outright rejected as unconstitutional and returned to the Planning
Department because their Change Map has incorrect lava flows on TMKs, including mine, in Lower Puna.
Not only my land, some of my surrounding neighbors are shown covered in lava when they are not. How
can the County Council hold hearings when the maps are wrong? If they are wrong in Puna, where else
are they wrong???
Also, I would like to know how landowners were notified of the unilateral zoning change of their
property in the 2045 GP? If landowners aren't given real notice of the zoning changes properly
through the mail (i.e. with their real property yearly assessments) and don't know to complain or
attend a council hearing, is that just tough luck for them and they lose their zoning and they would
have to pay $500 fee to challenge the zoning? That is unconstitutional as well
Mahalo,
Sara Steiner
