Subject: General Plan
Aloha Planning Department,
The final draft of the Big Island general plan does not support the future of Big Island, nor does it clearly define
what you want to do. It should be revised or thrown-out and rewritten.
The current general plan appears to further regulate and fine the public, limit travel, cluster people into dense
housing and more. It has no conclusive plan to help communities prosper. The main structure of the plan is
"Sustainability"when it should be"Innovation". We want to move toward thriving communities, environmental
support and economic alternatives that support farmers and homeowners and not put people in boxes while over-
regulating them. The general plan you have is modeled throughout the United States/Mainland with the exact
same words like: "cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change codes, amend" and more! How is it possible that it
was created by the Big Island Planning Department when so many other General Plans around the country have
the same language? Please revise the general plan accordingly.
Mahalo,
Meg Ganser
