Subject: OPPOSE Item 1, Rules 8 and 9
Date: Wednesday, May 31,2023 1:28:13 PM
Aloha 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 private owners,corporations,and offshore investors without carefully
considering the local communities'well-being,the protection of our fragile natural flora&fauna,and cultural our
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,
Olivia Pasciuta
