DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: Susan Floyd < <br /> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2024 9:30 PM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Subject: Proposed General plan <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 <br /> define what you want to 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 <br /> into dense housing and 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 <br /> toward thriving communities, environmental support and economic alternatives that support farmers <br /> and homeowners and not put people in boxes while over-regulating them. <br /> The general plan you have is modeled throughout the United States/Mainland with the exact same words <br /> like: cluster, stakeholder, 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 <br /> Plans around the country have the same language? <br /> Please have more opportunities for local people to give our input. This document was huge and took time <br /> to understand. We have many questions and look forward to your answers. In a spirit of honesty and <br /> cooperation. <br /> Mahalo nui, <br /> Susan Floyd <br /> <br /> <br /> Sent from my iPhone <br /> 1 <br />
