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 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 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 review the attached PDF and revise the general
plan accordingly.
Much Mahalo
