Subject: RE: General Plan Testimony
Aloha Planning Department,
The final draft of the Big Island general plan does not support the best future of Big Island, nor does it
clearly define what you want to do. It should be revised or deleted.
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.
We do not approve, consent, or agree with the General Plan.
Without prejudice and with all rights reserved,
Pasha Y. and Ohana
