Subject: Proposed 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?
Please have more opportunities for local people to give our input. This document was huge and took time
to understand. We have many questions and look forward to your answers. In a spirit of honesty and
cooperation.
Mahalo nui,
Susan Floyd
