DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: Cindy Tompkins < <br /> Sent: Friday, September 27, 2024 9:38 AM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Subject: Revise Hawaii General Plan Testimony Here <br /> Attachments: Big Island General Plan 2045 Testimony .pdf <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. The current general plan <br /> 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. The main structure of the plan is <br /> "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 <br /> people in boxes while over-regulating them. The general plan you have is modeled throughout the United <br /> States/Mainland with the exact same words like: cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change codes, <br /> amend and more! How is it possible that it was created by the Big Island Planning Department when so <br /> many other General Plans around the country have the same language? <br /> Please review the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly. <br /> Mahalo <br /> Cindy Tompkins <br /> 1 <br />
