DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: StellaBlue Jewelry < <br /> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 3:16 PM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Cc: Mitch.D.Roth@hawaiicounty.gov <br /> Subject: It's time to Revise Hawaii General Plan Testimony Now <br /> Aloha Planning Department, <br /> 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 <br /> do.It should be revised or thrown-out and redone. <br /> The current general plan looks like it will further regulate and fine the public,limit travel,cluster people into dense housing and <br /> more.It has no conclusive plan to help communities prosper. <br /> The main structure of the plan is"Sustainability"when it should be"Innovation".We want to move toward thriving communities, <br /> environmental support and economic alternatives that support farmers and homeowners and not put people in boxes while over- <br /> regulating them. <br /> The general plan you have is modeled throughout the United States/Mainland with the exact same words like:cluster,stakeholder, <br /> buffer zones,change codes,amend and more! <br /> How is it possible that it was created by the Big Island Planning Department when so many other General Plans around the country <br /> have the same language? <br /> Please review the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly. <br /> Much Mahalo <br /> Estelle Birch <br /> https://www.standtogetherhawaii.com/ files/ugd/86fc0c b34739e4c99c461685de4c0207bf286e.pdf <br /> n May all beings be peaceful.
