Big Island General Plan 2005 supported community and land stewardship. As a
professional gardener and native plant restoration professional I work directly on a
day day to day basis in collaboration with many other people to steward the land
and restore many of the rarest plant species on earth. I want to want to live here.
Do not create a poor plan to steer the direction of the community away from what
makes everyone love Hawaii.
One specific example that was brought to my attention that needs to be removed is,
. Page 116, 19.7: "Concurrency reviews should incorporate reduction in
vehicle miles traveled to mitigate traffic impacts and achieve sustainability
and demand management goals."
Finally, The current 2045 plan is a complete 180 of the 2005 plan. Please throw it
out and start using the 2005 plan to move the Big Island forward!
Mahalo,
Nathalie
