Subject: Please Revise Hawaii 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 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?
Much Mahalo,
Debbie Tamura
