Aloha Leeward and Windward Planning Commission,
Please oppose agenda item 1, the Planning Department's Shoreline Setback of 40 feet for
Rules 8 and 9.
I oppose it due to:
- Lack of descriptive detail in Rules 8 and 9
- Rule 8: the inadequate setback requirements while Oahu and Maui commit to 60-130 feet
setback, further aligning with Hawai'i State's Climate Resilient initiatives.
- Disregarding our Native Hawaiian people with Hawai'i County Planning Department
proposing weak archaeological rules that will not protect cultural and historic sites.
- These changes seem to benefit the usual suspects of private owners, corporations, and
offshore investors without carefully considering our local communities'well-being and the
protection of our natural and cultural resources.
These written rules, as they stand, hold too many loopholes. Therefore, Item 1, Rules 8 & 9,
should NOT pass.
Thank you for this opportunity,
clare loprinzi
