Subject: Revise Hawaii General Plan Testimony Here
Aloha Planning Department,
The final draft of the Big Island general plan does not support the future of the Big Island, nor does it
clearly define what you want to do. It should be revised or thrown out and redone.
The current general plan looks like it will 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 using the exact same
words, such as cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change codes, amend, and more!
How could it be created by the Big Island Planning Department when so many other General Plans
around the country have the same language?
Please take a look at the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly.
Much Mahalo
