Dear Council Members,
Big Island is a mostly rural County with limited development potential due to
topography, expensive energy supplies, and limited infrastructure including roads, water,sewage, power, and healthcare.
In fact, Hilo would only make #28 in size compared to a small State of Washington.
The General Plan for 2045 reads like a UN Agenda 2030 outline with some local flavor. It is
my contention that the UN Agenda applies mostly to metropolitan areas to which Big Islandhas none. Based on this premise, the plan for Big Island should not adopt UN Agenda speak
but be crafted with local input based on Big Island’s unique needs and challenges.
There is an entire section dealing with climate change. The fact that climate is changing isnothing new to mankind but the thought of attempting to change climate by any action taken
by Big Island residents and government is an act of wasteful spending and folly. If Big islandwere to achieve a so-called net zero target, it would have exactly zero impact on Earth’s
climate. There are many examples now around the world where attempts to try and achievenet zero are causing energy prices to soar and electric grids to become less sustainable.
Germany, UK, and even the State of CA are moving toward unsustainable energy distributionwith their current mix of “renewables”. The current fire in one of the world’s largest battery
plants in California spells out the extreme risk and high cost of using solar with batterybackups.
One of the primary goals for Big Island should be viable, sustainable, lower cost alternatives
for electricity production as this alone will open doors for other sustainable development. This means moving away from misinformation on solar and wind and looking at more
reliable modular nuclear and natural gas options. Without moving in the direction as a firststep, there is no such thing as sustainability. There is no safe way to store solar power at scale
and the risks are very high. Please observe what the tech companies are doing in conjunctionwith their new data centers.

Good morning Commission. April as well.The definitions in question yesterday and frankly every part of the General Plan can easily be found by putting UN in front of the
word search. I do not think looking at an english dictionary will define them properly for your understanding of the global
governance plan.
Natural Disaster is not in the plan because:

Date:Saturday, January 18, 2025 9:44:35 AM
Aloha Planning Commissions,
I'm a bit in shock and confused. Every meeting for over 6-months has had everyone, except
two in this last meeting, telling you not to put this plan through and you are still moving
forward with it and only recommending certain words be added or changed.
Do you work for the people or the "State"?
Is this only a dog and pony show?
Do the people not have power to tell you what we want and it be followed not just heard?
This is very concerning.
The General Plan Manager said the source of “Climate Change” was given to her by the
“authority of the State”. Nowhere in the General Plan does it say that.
She said she has a 3-page document that shows the source of climate change. Again,
these 3 pages are not in the General Plan. I could not find them.
The following is not a threat. It is a fact.
The Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 710, outlines criminal offenses related to the
use of false statements or entries, including making a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim,
considered a class C felony. Again, not a threat, a fact!
You make us raise our right hand and swear to tell the truth. Why don’t you do the same for
the General Plan manager?
“Climate change” or really climate danger is the foundation of the entire plan and if it is
false, which it is, then the entire plan should NOT be recommended. It cannot go through
based on a false premise and could be considered a felony since it is a false claim. That is
a fact, not a threat.
How does the “State” have more expertise on climate change than experts in the climate
field who are saying around the world that there is no climate danger. Where is their
source?
I’ve sent this already and here it is again.
Experts stating there is no climate danger:
Founder of the weather channel and 1st meteorologist on Good Morning America
in the 70's, John Coleman https://youtu.be/K56fms2VZTc?si=leus7DhWFbEPHb5c
1971 credential scientists signed world declaration that this is no climate danger
https://clintel.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/WCD-250104.pdf
National library of medicine says earth is cooling
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7575229/
50 year meteorologist says earth is cooling https://youtu.be/sa-_tlITPnM?
si=r_2mHSKU6LUEzI5n
MIT Professor of Meteorology says it’s deceptive to worry about the climate changing
because it always will and always has. https://youtu.be/pwvVephTIHU?si=-
vMh0qAFxqRczmiu
(I can give more climate expert testimony if needed.)
This is a ruse to bring in SMART City and Electric vehicles where the renewable energy
and electric companies will prosper and the people’s expenses will increase, their right
to privacy will be eliminated and many freedoms will be taken away.
Plus, the General Plan Manager shared info that only 2 electric vehicles have caught fire in
the past 10 years but she didn't say where are the electric vehicles going to be put when
they die?
They are a hazard waste (they emit toxic fumes if the engine block is cracked) and cannot
be put in the landfill. Who is going to pay for them to get shipped off island and who will
take them? What about the increased stress on the electric grid that is already over taxed?
Who is the State?
Hawaii is not a “State”. It is a US occupied territory as all locals know.
It’s important to state that The “County of Hawaii” and the “State of Hawaii” are both
corporations, which are verified businesses with a DUNS and Bradstreet number. Which
means the State has no authority over us, “We the People”. They are not the government,
they are a business and in commerce.
The Hawaii Planning Department is a department under the “State of Hawaii”. This means
they are all in commerce, doing business, making money, and not a Government for the
people. This is fraud. This also means that to do business with living men and women they
MUST have a contract and consent of the people to do so.
The Planning Department has sent letters to homeowners stating their land-use will change
from residential to recreational per this General Plan, which drops their property value.
Show us the superior title where the Planning Department, which is part of the State of
Hawaii corporation, has power over someone’s land.
The General Plan Manager also stated that the land that will be moved into “Conservation”
is already “State” owned land. Again, what “State” is she referring to? The only “State” I
could find are those that are running as businesses in Hawaii under the false pretense that
they are part of the Government for the people. They are corporations and corporations are
in commerce doing business. They are not taking action for the people. They are taking
action to make money.
Show us the property taxes and mortgages where the State owns the land. Did queen
Liokalani when she abdicated the throne under duress then give land title over as well? I
would like to see those documents.
If the “State” owns the land, where is the title with their DUNS and Bradstreet number
showing the “State” owns the land?
I thought that land was slowly going back to the Hawaiian people through the Hawaiian
Home Lands department.
Where in the General Plan is it honoring the Planning Departments contract with Hawaii
Homelands?
The General Plan Manager was asked by you to show where Hawaii Homelands is
written in the plan at the next meeting, which was this last meeting. She didn't do it
because Hawaii Homelands isn’t written in the plan at all, not once.
They say people helped with this plan, where are they? I’d like to see documentation that
shows what people approved of this plan and their signatures and I would like to see it in an
affidavit under penalty of purgee.
The Hawaii Planning Department cannot simply decide to do something without the
consent of the people and we DO NOT CONSENT!
The Hawaii General Plan is a plan against free living men and women under God and
is a plan for corporations looking to gain both land, money, and power under the guise of
being for the people.
You’ve seen the testimonies against this plan and you must see that this island will forever
change and not for the better under this plan. Please do your kuliana and recommend it
not go through. I am of “We the people” and I do not consent.
You must not recommend this plan not go through.
Will you take action for the people or only hear what we say and not follow our
wishes?

I am a 5-time award winning author. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm a professional researcher!That is what I do.
I'm sending the exact areas that we the people are concerned with. It seems that you are ignoring ourwishes to recommend this plan NOT go through. That is not okay.
The Leeward Chair wants the exact pages that we have issues with so here are our concerns again, asI've already sent this once: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16sz0Uug8jN3zT_MisDzLIW4jBWltEqqP0UrfMPWYpQo/edit?tab=t.0
My question to you is who do you work for?
I stated numerous times that not one person in over 6-months has stepped forward saying theyworked on this plan and support it in its entirety. That is a problem!
Please do what is right and honor the wishes of those you've volunteered to serve and recommendthis plan not go through. We are literally screwed if you don't.

The Big Island General Plan Testimony
100% of the Community has been AGAINST this General Plan at the in person meetings.
For one, this plan was NOT written for ordinary citizens to understand.
In some of its explanations, it does NOT use the exact title but abbreviations, which it does NOT explain.
It does NOT FULLY explain their "Master Plans" or "Impact Ordinances Fees," and it does NOT make many other items clear in this General Plan.
This General Plan should be clear, and it's NOT. It feels very SHADY and brings feelings of CORRUPTION, and there are links that show our rights could be taken away if this General Plan is implemented.
The 2045 General Plan looks to want to do all of this:
As you will see below the General Plan talks about "Clustering" us into 11PUD11 living through their TDR Program that will, "When the Government undertakes
compulsory acquisition of individual land parcels for creating infrastructural projects ... https://www .hdfc.com/blog/property-a nd-rea 1-
estate/tra nsfera ble-development-rig hts-td r-concept
Page 79
9.3 Zoning, subdivision, and other applicable ordinances shall provide for and protect open space areas.
What does the county mean by "other applicable ordinances"? Because an Ordinance is "a law or rule made by a government or authority" What
rules does the county want to put on ALL of us because they are not explaining this in their GP.

Planning Commissioners,
I would like to request that Michelle Melendez be invited by the Planning Commissioners to have an
extended time-period in order to fully provide the Commissioners and the public with pertinent
information about the Hawaii County General Plan 2045. After personally providing testimony at a
recent public hearing, it is clear to me that three minutes are far too short of time to fully expand on
the ramifications of the General Plan. It is also clear that the Commissioners have the ability to ask
for extended presentations, as was done when the “staff” of the planning department was asked to
make a presentation to the commissioners, the presentation was well over the three minutes
allotted to the public and included questions and answers and a slide presentation. I ask that you
honor the community members’ who have and are very concerned about the full implications of the
General Plan, Michelle Melendez has shown honesty, determination, and care in investigation into
what the General Plan does and could do. She has the necessary skills to present an accurate,
concise, and clear assessment of the Hawaii County General Plan 2045. Give her the opportunity by
extending her an invitation to make a presentation before the Commissioners and the public. The
present and future people living in the County of Hawaii will respect your efforts in this matter.

Dear Hawaii county council,
I am a resident and property owner in captain cook, Hawai’i. I have three sons that also live in south Kona, Hawai’i.
I am writing this testimony to oppose and reject 1) the nomination of Wesley Segawa and 2) to oppose and reject
the proposed general plan 2045 based on the following:
Wesley Segawa :
is a convicted felon.
He is a business owner with county contracts therefore an illegal, conflict of interest
Segawa mismanaged his position as chairman of public housing and resigned
I appeal to the council to appoint only those people with hawai’i aloha in their heart.
General plan 2045:
This proposed plan is being discussed behind the peoples backs
There has not been any form of information to the general public
There was to have been 2 meetings in January and 2 in february.
You cancelled a meeting in each month. Very wrong.
You made the meetings during business hours limiting peoples access
Overall this “plan” removes peoples land and water rights
This plan oppresses and suppresses residents and homeowners
This plan seeks to deceitfully rezone our properties to conservation
This plan reduces our property values
This plan seeks for “environmental reasons” to take away/rezone our properties
No governmental body should have the right to decide our properties fate
Referrals to a master plan & ordinances within the plan are vague and lack description
We do not want to live in a smart city controlled by government
We do not want untested/ unsafe 5g installed under our ground
We do not want 5g to surveil us
I appeal to the Hawaii county council to not just hear our voices , but to take action.
Do something to prevent this God awful plan to proceed in any way, shape or form.
This plan should not move forward.
Me and my family, oppose and reject general plan 2045.
Me and my family oppose and reject the nomination of Wesley Segawa

Dear WPCtestimony, Thank you for clarifying the limitations of public testimony. How can MichelleMelendez be given the necessary time to present very important and pertinent
information about this general plan? The venue needs to be viewable such as on
Zoom, and recorded and available for the public to see and hear. What is thepurpose of taking public testimony if not to provide the commissioners and thepublic with other pertinent information that is not already included in the proposal?
The general plan is easily downloadable for the public to read, there should also be
on this website all of the supporting and opposing views available for the public to
see, hear and read what their fellow Hawaiians' are thinking about this proposedplan. Please let me know how to make these requests happen. Openness in
government is so important today, we are participating at the most basic and local
political level and we have the power to bring trust back into government decision
making, let's do it show us how!Sincerely,

your commitment to ensuring the public and the Planning Commissioners
have access to comprehensive information on this important matter.
In order to maintain fairness and provide equal opportunities for all

constraints to ensure that all voices are heard within the allotted time.
We encourage Michelle Melendez, as well as any other interested
individuals, to submit written testimony if additional details need to be
shared beyond the time available for verbal testimony. Written testimony
is given full consideration by the Commissioners and provides an
opportunity to elaborate on key points in greater detail.

Here’s an opposition position to the General Plan 2045, challenging its feasibility, priorities, and potential consequences.
Opposition Position to the General Plan 2045
While the General Plan 2045 sets ambitious goals for sustainability, economic growth, and infrastructure development,
there are critical flaws in its approach that could hinder its success. The plan lacks feasibility, overestimates resource
availability, and places undue burdens on taxpayers and rural communities.
1. Unrealistic Transportation Goals
The plan prioritizes multi-modal transit and emerging technologies while neglecting practical infrastructure needs:
● Mass Transit Limitations: Expanding public transportation is idealistic, but given the low
population density, mass transit will remain underutilized and costly.
● Neglect of Rural Needs: Vision Zero and Complete Streets focus on urban centers, but rural roads
remain deteriorating without sufficient funding.
● Autonomous Vehicles & Smart Roads: Investing in future technology is premature when basic
road maintenance remains underfunded.
2. Housing Policies Worsen Affordability
The plan’s zoning changes and affordable housing policies may exacerbate the housing crisis rather than
solve it:
● Urban Growth Boundaries Increase Prices: Restricting land use in rural areas artificially inflates
property values, making housing even less affordable.
● Overcrowding Solutions Overlook Economic Realities: Policies ignore that overcrowding results
from low wages and high living costs, not just housing shortages.
● Regulatory Burdens on Developers: Strict zoning and sustainability mandates deter private
investment, reducing housing supply and increasing costs.
3. Infrastructure and Utility Investments Are Unfunded and Impractical
The plan assumes major infrastructure expansions without realistic funding mechanisms:
● Green Infrastructure & Energy Transition: Renewable energy projects are costly, and residents
will bear the financial burden of transitioning away from fossil fuels.
● Broadband Expansion: While beneficial, the cost of rural broadband investment is unsustainable
without private sector buy-in.
● Water Conservation Mandates: Restrictions and green infrastructure initiatives may increase costs
for consumers without clear efficiency benefits.
4. Economic Development Overlooks Local Challenges
The plan assumes economic diversification will reduce reliance on tourism but fails to address key
barriers:
● Workforce Shortages in Tech & Healthcare: While the plan emphasizes education and business
services, Hawaiʻi struggles to retain talent due to the high cost of living.
● Tourism Mismanagement: Reducing tourism’s footprint is economically dangerous, as it remains
Hawaiʻi’s largest industry. Balancing conservation and tourism is unrealistic without clear
incentives.
● Agricultural Growth Is Not Feasible at Scale: Farming expansion requires land, water, and
workforce, all of which are limited. Dependence on imports will persist.
5. Climate Resilience Efforts Are Costly and Overreaching
Climate change policies in the plan impose expensive regulations without clear economic benefits:
● Sea Level Rise Restrictions Hurt Property Owners: Over-regulating coastal development
diminishes property rights and land values.
● Renewable Energy Transition Increases Costs: Shifting rapidly to renewables raises electricity
prices and risks reliability issues.
● Disaster Preparedness Funding Is Unclear: Climate adaptation measures require significant public
spending without clearly defined funding sources.
Conclusion: A More Balanced Approach Needed
The General Plan 2045 prioritizes idealistic goals over practical solutions. A more balanced approach
should:
1. Focus on essential infrastructure first, ensuring roads, utilities, and housing affordability before
investing in speculative technology.
2. Encourage private-sector solutions rather than increasing government intervention in housing and
economic development.
3. Make climate policies cost-effective, ensuring that taxpayers are not burdened by aggressive
renewable energy mandates.
While the plan’s vision is commendable, its execution threatens affordability, economic stability, and individual property
rights. A more pragmatic approach is necessary to ensure growth without overregulation and excessive public spending.

Subject:Aloha, General Plan 2045
Date:Tuesday, February 4, 2025 8:03:48 PM
My name is Donna Grabow and there are many reasons to reject the entire General Plan 2045.
There are so many homes that are already so many vacant, foreclosed homes because of highinterest loans.Yet The Plan promotes relocating people into new cluster housing The Plan has a list of vaguerules for smart transportation in smart communities.
There is part of the Plan that mentions agricultural growth, but the details of sustainability arenot feasible. Farming Expansion needs land, workers and machinery, all of which are limited. Dependence on imported food will still persist.
If the mistake is made to implement parts of the Plan, then communities of islands can beturned into controlled, dystopian housing projects.A sterile technocratic culture would replace the friendly Polynesian culture that is sotreasured.
In the General Plan, it’s been discovered that a new map was either tampered with, ormistakenly mislabled an area that is actually Urban land.
The new map has somehow been redesignated as 'Conservation land.’ This slight of hand would give the State a green light to prohibit homes, farming or building.
On the last note - Keep Hawaii the way it is. There are already plenty of Forest Reserves, Hawaiian Public Lands, and lots of well-planned parks, beautiful beaches, waterfalls, a freezoo and botanicial gardens, all which are available to the public. This is a wonderful place tolive. I’m so lucky to live on Moku o Keawe.
The General Plan is not the ONLY choice.
There are much better ideas and clean technology to be considered.
Sincerely,

The contrary is true.
99.9% of the people are opposing it! They are either angry, crying or stoic, but theyare requiring you to not recommend this plan go through.
The 3 people in 6-months that have supported this plan have had one personalissue the plan would assist with. Not one person has come to support the plan in itsentirety.
Your position is to represent the people and they people have been telling you forover 6-months to NOT recommend this plan!
Will you honor your seat or has fascism already taken over this government?
Here is yet another reason why this plan should not be recommended:
At the January 16, Planning Commission meeting, a testifier said there was a"mistake" in the designation of a particular parcel of land. The new map showed itwas set to be "Conservation" when it was designated "Urban" Land use. This isHUGE since Conservation will only allow a park, no living, farming, or building! The Planning Director acknowledged the mistake and said it would be fixed but howmany "mistakes" are in the map we don't know about?
This alone should require you to NOT recommend the Hawaii GP NOT go through!

Subject:Do NOT recommend GP2045 go through
Date:Wednesday, February 5, 2025 11:31:49 AM
To all concerned,
At the January 16, Planning Commission meeting, a testifier said there was a "mistake" in the designation of a
particular parcel of land. The new map showed it was set to be "Conservation" when it was designated "Urban"
Land use. This is significant since Conservation will only allow a park--no living, farming, or building!
The Planning Director acknowledged the mistake and said it would be fixed but how many "mistakes" are in the
map we don't know about? This alone should have the Planning Commissioners recommend the Hawaii GP NOT go
through!
Read the testimony below from a prominent business owner on Big Island sharing more insights why this plan
should not be recommended!
Here’s a position opposed to the General Plan 2045, challenging its feasibility, priorities, and potential
consequences.
Opposition Position to the General Plan 2045
"While the General Plan 2045 sets ambitious goals for sustainability, economic growth, and infrastructure
development, there are critical flaws in its approach that could hinder its success. The plan lacks feasibility,
overestimates resource availability, and places undue burdens on taxpayers and rural communities.
1. Unrealistic Transportation Goals
The plan prioritizes multi-modal transit and emerging technologies while neglecting practical infrastructure needs:
● Mass Transit Limitations: Expanding public transportation is idealistic, but given the low population density, mass
transit will remain underutilized and costly.
● Neglect of Rural Needs: Vision Zero and Complete Streets focus on urban centers, but rural roads remain
deteriorating without sufficient funding.
● Autonomous Vehicles & Smart Roads: Investing in future technology is premature when basic road maintenance
remains underfunded.
2. Housing Policies Worsen Affordability
The plan’s zoning changes and affordable housing policies may exacerbate the housing crisis rather than solve it:
● Urban Growth Boundaries Increase Prices: Restricting land use in rural areas artificially inflates property values,
making housing even less affordable.
● Overcrowding Solutions Overlook Economic Realities: Policies ignore that overcrowding results from low wages
and high living costs, not just housing shortages.
● Regulatory Burdens on Developers: Strict zoning and sustainability mandates deter private investment, reducing
housing supply and increasing costs.
3. Infrastructure and Utility Investments Are Unfunded and Impractical
The plan assumes major infrastructure expansions without realistic funding mechanisms:
● Green Infrastructure & Energy Transition: Renewable energy projects are costly, and residents will bear the
financial burden of transitioning away from fossil fuels.
● Broadband Expansion: While beneficial, the cost of rural broadband investment is unsustainable without private
sector buy-in.
● Water Conservation Mandates: Restrictions and green infrastructure initiatives may increase costs for consumers
without clear efficiency benefits.
4. Economic Development Overlooks Local Challenges
The plan assumes economic diversification will reduce reliance on tourism but fails to address key barriers:
● Workforce Shortages in Tech & Healthcare: While the plan emphasizes education and business services, Hawaiʻi
struggles to retain talent due to the high cost of living.● Tourism Mismanagement: Reducing tourism’s footprint is economically dangerous, as it remains Hawaiʻi’slargest industry. Balancing conservation and tourism is unrealistic without clear incentives.● Agricultural Growth Is Not Feasible at Scale: Farming expansion requires land, water, and workforce, all of whichare limited. Dependence on imports will persist.
5. Climate Resilience Efforts Are Costly and OverreachingClimate change policies in the plan impose expensive regulations without clear economic benefits:● Sea Level Rise Restrictions Hurt Property Owners: Over-regulating coastal development diminishes propertyrights and land values.● Renewable Energy Transition Increases Costs: Shifting rapidly to renewables raises electricity prices and risksreliability issues.● Disaster Preparedness Funding Is Unclear: Climate adaptation measures require significant public spendingwithout clearly defined funding sources.
Conclusion: A More Balanced Approach Needed
The General Plan 2045 prioritizes idealistic goals over practical solutions. A more balanced approach should:1. Focus on essential infrastructure first, ensuring roads, utilities, and housing affordability before investing inspeculative technology.2. Encourage private-sector solutions rather than increasing government intervention in housing and economicdevelopment.3. Make climate policies cost-effective, ensuring that taxpayers are not burdened by aggressive renewable energymandates.While the plan’s vision is commendable, its execution threatens affordability, economic stability, and individualproperty rights. A more pragmatic approach is necessary to ensure growth without overregulation and excessivepublic spending."

Subject:DO NOT Recommend the Hawaii GP 2045!
Date:Wednesday, February 5, 2025 1:10:58 PM
Aloha Commissioners,
The Big island Plan cannot go through the way it is designed. It is hard to believe any local helpeddesign this plan.
Here are some concerns:
There is a huge part of the plan dedicated to "Climate Change". However, why do mostexperts state there is NO climate danger? Climate Experts Speak Out Against Climate
Danger Click Here!
The word "Stakeholder," defined in the plan, is written 86 times and literally means anyone inthe entire world can have input on this plan.
Please recommend Stakeholder change to the following: "Local Communities”. LocalCommunities are local Big Island farmers, homeowners, renters, organizations, businesses,
and individuals who live on Big Island or have property on Big Island that will be personallyaffected by projects, decisions, or activities in the general plan. Effective local communityengagement and management are crucial for the success and sustainability of any initiative,
as it helps ensure that diverse perspectives and interests are considered.
The OSCER Department in the plan will null and void all public input and leave decisions tounelected officials. This is NOT okay! This department should not be created. This is on page188, 40.8.
The Planning Department has sent out letters too many homeowners telling them their land
use will be changed from resident to recreation due to the General Plan 2045. This willdrastically lower their property value and opens the door to rezone the area. This is notpono. It breaks the Aloha Spirit law § 5-7.5. To reduce someone's property value is not okay.
This must be made pono again.
There is a huge section on climate change and things that will be affected. This needs to befurther researched. There are over 1900 credentialed scientist that say there is no climate
danger. Here is the pdf showing the scientist and what country they are from.
https://clintel.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/WCD-241023.pdf John Coleman, the firstweather man for Good Morning America and the Founder of the Weather Channel has gone
on CNN and other media outlets stating, "There is no climate danger". He explain the reason
for this narrative is the investors, in renewable energy, want to make these changes.
Hilo does not have a Community Development Plan. How can a Big Island General Plan
move forward without that? Hilo is 22% of the island.
1.13 under "Increase the biodiversity and resilience of native habitats" reads, "Incentivize private
land management practices that protect and enhance natural resource values and, when
appropriate, pursue the acquisition of lands for the protection of natural resources." "Incentives"
mean more taxes. "Protection" means more rules. Who's "values" is this plan referring too becauseit's not the locals? "Pursue the acquisition of lands" does this say they are going to pursing taking
people's private property? Again with "protection of natural resources". This plan should befocused on people growing more food and it is doing the exact opposite!
This plan wants to turn land into "conservation". The exact opposite is what is needed for BigIsland! We need to turn land into Ag Villages and grow more food! Steve Shropshire, a
resident of Papaikou, has created an Ag Villages plan.
Ag Village to add to the General Plan:

https://www.standtogetherhawaii.com/_files/ugd/86fc0c_b34739e4c99c461685de4c0207bf286e.pdf
The way this plan is written is very far from what will support our island.

Dear Hawaii county council,
I am a resident and property owner in captain cook, Hawai’i. I have three sons that also live in south Kona, Hawai’i.
I am writing this testimony to oppose and reject 1) the nomination of Wesley Segawa and 2) to oppose and reject
the proposed general plan 2045 based on the following:
Wesley Segawa :
is a convicted felon.
He is a business owner with county contracts therefore an illegal, conflict of interest
Segawa mismanaged his position as chairman of public housing and resigned
I appeal to the council to appoint only those people with hawai’i aloha in their heart.
General plan 2045:
This proposed plan is being discussed behind the peoples backs
There has not been any form of information to the general public
There was to have been 2 meetings in January and 2 in february.
You cancelled a meeting in each month. Very wrong.
You made the meetings during business hours limiting peoples access
Overall this “plan” removes peoples land and water rights
This plan oppresses and suppresses residents and homeowners
This plan seeks to deceitfully rezone our properties to conservation
This plan reduces our property values
This plan seeks for “environmental reasons” to take away/rezone our properties
No governmental body should have the right to decide our properties fate
Referrals to a master plan & ordinances within the plan are vague and lack description
We do not want to live in a smart city controlled by government
We do not want untested/ unsafe 5g installed under our ground
We do not want 5g to surveil us
I appeal to the Hawaii county council to not just hear our voices , but to take action.
Do something to prevent this God awful plan to proceed in any way, shape or form.
This plan should not move forward.
Me and my family, oppose and reject general plan 2045.
Me and my family oppose and reject the nomination of Wesley Segawa

Date:Wednesday, February 5, 2025 10:07:35 AM
Dear Planning Commissioners,
I fervently oppose any use of this plan for Hawaii County and demand that
this commission vote no on behalf of the people of Hawaii County.
This plan looks like a take-over of the lands of Hawaii County by rezoning
and limiting the development areas. It effectively limits where normal
people live, where they can go, where they shop, where and what kinds of
recreation they can have and do.
There is a reason that there is no projection of what build-out looks like,
because it will look bad for what life will be for the normal human being in
Hawaii County.
The wealthy who are planning this land reallocation do not want you to
know:
How many people can this plan support per square mile?
How does this number compute as to the number of people per square mile
in terms of the whole island?
How many of the people will own their own property?
What is the projected income of the average working class household?
How many people will be in this average household?
What are the economic drivers and their future projected growth?
What is the relationship between these economic drivers and the income of
the average working class household?
This plan addresses none of these issues that relate to quality of life, so
how can we possibly consider this as a plan that benefits “we the people”?
How can this commission possibly evaluate the impact that this plan will
have on our communities without real quality of life evaluations. You
must vote no on this imperial colonialist land reallocation and limitation plan.
Sincerely,
Ken Honma Kurtistown Hi 96760

Subject:Clarification on compensation
Date:Thursday, February 6, 2025 7:07:02 PM
Homeowners compensation was mentioned. But, we know when the state/county wants your
land it isn't like selling your land at a profit, It is taking what they will give you. It was saidthat the home/land that now has been "rezoned" already had a conservation easement of the
land but was used as state URBAN land. How can an easement for conservation take over allof your land? Having an easement from a neighbor does not give the neighbor the right to take
your land. You can purchase the land but when we are ready to use your land we can take it? Still leaving the homeowner to not be able to use their home as a line of equity, take the price
that is offered to move off their property without making the profit of what they have put intothe home and the added value to the land. Having to pay taxes on the money given to you at a
lesser dollar amount than your home is worth, while being displaced.
Most compensation in situations like this is not enough to recover what hasbeen put into the property value or possibly not enough to cover the remainingbalance of a mortgage but left to pay on the taxes of what was given for the
compensation that is seen as income and compensation. Could leave some in
debt due to the change of the property usages.
There needs to be a clause in the plan to prevent this from being able to
happen to the owner of the property.

Subject:Unclear General Plan 2045 from today meeting for tomorrow questions
Date:Thursday, February 6, 2025 1:58:07 PM
Todays meeting:
The plan was said that it doesn't need to be specific. Why? This leaves too many loopholes
for any new changes to be governed under the plan. Wiggle room so to speak, to fall under acategory to have the right to add in additional actions after the plan has been passed.
TDR= Transfer Development Rights,(shift) this is said to be voluntary. In other areas that it's
said to be "voluntary" it usually means pushed out having to "voluntarily move" which in thereal sense it isn't then voluntarily. Such as insurance will not insure you at this location, the
rezone of the property (although I feel this is disguised in the language) you can not buildhere.
It was talked about that if you fall under the TDR, that the 1,000 sqft home you wanted tobuild now you can be directed to a piece of land to be able to build a 2,000 sqft home. We all
know nothing is this simple, like the plan in itself is easily misconstrued to be agreeable if notasked the right questions. How much is it going to cost the landowner to transfer over to the
designated land that the plan is suggestioning to be provided? Are they going to be limited atthat time to use only the people who benefit from the plan to build the construction of the
home? Will they own the land or will it be a leasehold as the HOA has been described? Toomany nuances that leave people to be imprisoned by the Shift /TDR areas.
Transportation was touched on about electric vehicles and how we do not have the
infrastructure for it. But, nothing mentioned about the blackouts we already are having on theBig Island.
The pull outs for the buses. The route looks as if it will be in front of peoples homes for the
buses to pull in to let passengers off and on the bus. Carving into the personal property of anowner, will they be paid to take their property and make their land a smaller parcel than when
they purchased it? Will the plan cover the change of the TMK that goes with the property asthe property line has changed? Which if the property line is not remapped and it's sold, who's
at fault for the non disclosure when this wasn't' by choice of the homeowner?
Homeowners compensation was mentioned. But, we know when the state/county wants yourland it isn't like selling your land at a profit, It is taking what they will give you. It was said
that the home/land that now has been "rezoned" already had a conservation easement of theland but was used as state URBAN land. How can an easement for conservation take over all
of your land? Having an easement from a neighbor does not give the neighbor the right to takeyour land. You can purchase the land but when we are ready to use your land we can take it?
Still leaving the homeowner to not be able to use their home as a line of equity, take the pricethat is offered to move off their property without making the profit of what they have put into
the home and the added value to the land. Having to pay taxes on the money given to you at alesser dollar amount than your home is worth, while being displaced.
All of this should not be lumped into one plan. There are too many components that they
want to "cluster in" a county plan. Making it too easy once a plan is passed to do the opposite
of what has been spoken in the meetings. Twisting the words of their meanings to fit thenarrative of the plan.
We as a whole will be the ones paying the price if it is passed the way it is now, it is harder to
undo than it is to revise before passing.
Please do not pass this plan on to all of us. Some sounds minor but history has proven planslike this can crumble a county. Especially with too many components in one plan.
Plan DivideTransportation that includes what it looks like, not a vague picture using climate change.
Zoning, did the people who purchased the state urban land know that this could be apossibility with the conservation of the easement changing their home to not be state urban but
to conservation? If this wasn't known this could lead up to county lawsuits. What constitutesthe right of the rezoning of a property although said it isn't rezoning.
People will fight back after the fact ones affected by the plan. No one thinks it's a
big deal beforehand until the aftermath starts.

and it MUST NOT go through to the County Council.
We The People of the Island of Hawaiʻi, the County of Hawaii, do NOT CONSENT to
such plan!
To Hawaii County Government, Aloha --
There are numerous issues with the proposed general plan, and testimony is overwhelmingly
opposed to its general concepts which are NOT set up to benefit farmers and homeowners.
Mahalo,
Kana Leohano
See below for additional information.
I have provided extensive written testimony and commented on the general plan online, along with
many others that have emphasized this plan needs a complete overhaul to meet the needs of
the community. This plan is based off a template handed down from the United Nations and
their so-called Agenda 21.
This link provides an overview to allow county planning and legislative officials to understand this
so-called Agenda 21 (or whatever name they are currently calling it -- agenda 2030, "you will own
nothing and be happy", or whatever) and should be mandatory reading. https://nwri.org/wp-
content/uploads/2011/07/How-Public-Officials-can-Recognize-Agenda-21.pdf PAGE ONE IS A
SHORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THAT DESCRIBES THE COMMUNIST AGENDA TO GET RID
OF PRIVATE OWNERSHIP.
The Hawaii County General Plan of 2005 contains the words "homeowner" (4 times) and
"farmer" (14 times) while the proposed 2045 plan does not have the words "homeowner" and
"farmer" anywhere! It therefore is obvious it is not written to help homeowners or farmers.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1. The entire thing needs to be re-done by people who love people -- not profit, that is by
people who work from the SPIRIT of the State Constitution section 5-7.5 regarding
ALOHA SPIRIT. To quote: "Aloha" means mutual regard and affection and extends
warmth in caring with no obligation in return. The current draft involves people in
power who are seeking to line their own pockets. Stop. Seriously, dump the whole
thing. IT IS OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN BY SOMEONE IN THE PAY OF Blackrock,
Vanguard, Gates, Soros, or any number of other disgusting, money-printing entities. The
core of the document is: "The Countyʻs desired land use development pattern." THIS
IS NOT FOR THE COUNTY TO DECIDE !!!! As noted in #11 below: Our micro-
climates are so vast and varied there is NO CHANCE that anyone at the County
level would know what needs to go where. THAT CAN ONLY BE LEARNED BY
LIVING ON, BY WALKING, THE LAND. Leave people to make their OWN
DECISIONS about what to do with their own land.
2. The State, and the County, have NO RIGHT TO ACQUIRE LAND !! and any
reference to such in this proposed document should be removed!!! And, the
State has NO RIGHT to any County property, and none should be handed over
without agreement of ancestral owners and local residents, and NO HARBOR
SHOULD BE HANDED TO THE STATE. Remove any reference to "Hawaiʻi
State Wildlife Action Plan" as it has NO RELEVANCE for our island and the
State should NOT BE MANAGING our island.
3. There is no such thing as "climate change" caused by humans, and anything
referring to such should be entirely removed. https://clintel.org/world-climate-
declaration/ Remove ANY reference to "carbon footprint", "net zero",
"greenhouse gas", "green infrastructure" and / or "climate adaptation". Remove
ANY reference to "decarbonizing."
4. Remove the section 2.2 Biocultural Stewardship Goal (1.13) because Maui has
shown the pain, suffering and financial loss such government over-reach leads
to.
5. Remove the section 17.4, Page 111, because a person applying for land use
clearance should not involve the government attempting to grab their land.
6. Remove the word "stakeholder" from everywhere it appears, and instead use
the words "homeowner" or "farmer".
7. Leave the zoning alone. Leave it alone.
8. Remove ANY reference to "digital literacy" and its related "5G"-type insanity.
BETTER TO PUT SOMETHING ABOUT "FARMING LITERACY" OR "FISHING
LITERACY" OR "HUNTING LITERACY". Remove ANY reference to prioritizing
digital above actual. There is nothing in this proposed document about
PRIORITIZING FARMING, FISHPOND CARE AND MAINTENANCE, and
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT and THERE SHOULD BE !!!!!
9. Remove the words "equity" and "equitable" from everywhere they appear. We
need EQUALITY of opportunity, NOT equity of results !!!! People need to work
for what they get, and people who have worked and succeeded need to keep
the fruits of their labors. THERE WILL NEVER BE EQUITY, LEGISLATED OR
NOT!!!! "Safe and affordable utilities" are NOT a right! People need to work for
what they get!
10. Remove the word "sustainability" from everywhere it appears. This is NOT
something that can be regulated into existence!!! It is a loosey-goosey term that
has NO SCIENTIFIC PARAMETERS, NO EFFECTIVE DEFINITION for
anything to do with lawmaking !!
11. Remove ANY proposed regulation that would increase restriction or result in
ANY fee to a farmer. We need food !!
12. Remove ANY proposed requirement for a permit. We have too many of these
already.
13. Remove ANY reference to "incinerator" -- "waste-to-energy" or ANY other use.
NO resident wants such, and we have stated such in the past
UNEQUIVOCALLY.
14. Remove ANY proposed map of land use. Our micro-climates are so vast and
varied there is NO CHANCE that anyone making a map would know what
needs to go where. THAT CAN ONLY BE LEARNED BY LIVING ON, BY
WALKING, THE LAND. Leave people to make their OWN DECISIONS about
what to do with their own land. Remove the word "conform" any time it has
ANYTHING to do with private land use.
15. REMOVE 32c and 32p and 20e because all have to do with the heinous,
despicable, insane, terrible, egregious concept of "smart" cities. In fact, remove
EVERYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with the "SMART" acronym and / or
idea.
16. Remove ANY reference to digital currencies.
17. Remove ANY reference to clusters of population, or "site clustering of
development". This island is NOT THE PLACE for such ideas. We are farmers.
REMOVE section 4.5.1. Remove ANY reference to population density or
"clusters". This island is NOT THE PLACE for such ideas. ALSO, IT IS INSANE
TO PRIORITIZE WALKING AND BICYCLING OVER CARS ON THIS ISLAND.
No farmer is going to walk or bicycle to get his / her produce to market !!!!
18. Remove ANY use of the word "resilience." This is a psychological term that has
NO PLACE in a government document.
19. Close down the County Office of Sustainability, Climate, Equity, and Resilience
(OSCER) as NOBODY VOTED FOR THIS OFFICE TO BE STARTED.
Remove ANY reference to such office from the proposed general plan.
20. Remove ANY reference to "incentive" in regard to taxes on peopleʻs land, such
as to "incentivize" them to build "affordable" housing. This is a COMPLETELY
WRONG way to get "affordable" housing built. MUCH MORE IMPORTANT
would be to "incentivize" clean industries to move to our island, where people
would be able to get employment to AFFORD good housing. In fact, THERE IS
NOTHING IN THE DOCUMENT TO SUPPORT ECONOMIC GROWTH !!!
WHY NOT?
21. Remove ANY concept that would involve "inspection" or "surveillance" or
"inventory" of land.
22. Housing developers should not be released from requirements to build
infrastructure and should have to post a bond, so we stop having them "get
away with" never completing promised roads, etc.
23. Prohibit 5G, or 6G, or whatever they come up with that is similar.
24. All current use of septic or cesspool should be grandfathered-in, with only
changes made at a market-rate sale of a property. There are VERY FEW areas
where household waste water affects the ocean or inland water. Take care of
those few places, leave everything else alone. And this has NOTHING to do
with centralized wastewater -- not on our lava-rock island!!! In fact, there should
be an AUDIT of CURRENT centralized wastewater facilities, as there are
problems with some of them!!!
25. Get Pohakuloa Military Base to stop polluting. NO "TREATED"
WASTEWATER for any food or farming use.
26. Pohakuloa Military Base gets its land for a dollar a year and shoots weapons
directly above our islandʻs largest aquifer. Get them to stop!
27. Remove ANY reference to incentivizing or regulating water use. THIS IS NOT
THE PLACE FOR SUCH. We have water-use people already taking care of this.
"Water commitments" are something the DWS should take care of -- or
individual bills introduced to remedy any problem.
28. Remove the phrase "circular systems". This is a concept only vaguely defined
and certainly without any solid demonstration of its use.
29. Remove the phrase "Vision Zero" as it has NO RELEVANCE for our island.
30. Remove the phrase "One Water" as it refers to a North America group and has
NO RELEVANCE for our island.
WHAT ALREADY HAS BEEN SAID, AND I REPEAT:
General Plan 2045 references ʻeconomic growthʻ but does not discuss in any way the
drivers of the economy. It SHOULD be a study and plan, on how best to support:
Farmers
Producers of Goods
Providers of Services
.....so we can build a great economy together.
Rather, it seeks to: restrict, impose fees, place taxes ... pays attention to airport
terminals and harbors, transportation and urban development -- nothing that is alive
and producing value for our economy, but tools that are needed by people who ARE
alive and producing, so should not be used as a way to rake in money for civil servant
salaries.
Supposedly a plan about development, it barely mentions the Farmers, Producers of
Goods, Providers of Services, barely mentions:
Agriculture
Commerce
Industries
Jobs
Economic Activities
It wants to make everyone walk, ride a bike or take a bus. Nuts.
Dump the whole thing.

Dear Planning Commission members,
Watching part of the dialog between the Windward Planning Commission Chairman and the
department staff today showed me that even the planning commissioners have no clear
understanding of what this general plan is actually about. We the people have almost
unanimously said the same thing; “What exactly is the goal of this general plan?”
The staff mentioned other clarifying information that would be forthcoming that would help clarify
some issues:
Why is pertinent information not already included in the proposed plan?
The climate change dogma that is underpinning this document (and that has been shown to be
scientifically faulty) is still being used as justification by the staff by invoking past
State and County legislative action as a justification. Rather than the staff admitting that the past
actions may not comport with the present scientific information,
staff used the obsolete legislation to be able to defer and deflect the Chairs’ attempt at
modernizing and updating the scientific basis of the document.
This exchange shows why we the people do not trust our County government and its staff to act in
our best interest - the interest of we the inhabitants of the land.
The attitude of the staff representative left me with the impression that the people are being
railroaded into accepting the ideological basis for this document even to disregard new scientific
knowledge on the climate.
The Planning Commissioners must vote no confidence in this plan with the justification that the
scientific basis is flawed and does not include new and important information.

To whom it may concern, I am writing because I am not in favor of the General plan to go through. There are way
too many restrictions regarding land and land building on personal property for county or park buildings and home

URGENT
Opposition Position to the General Plan 2045
While the General Plan 2045 sets ambitious goals for sustainability, economic growth, andinfrastructure development, there are critical flaws in its approach that could hinder its success. Theplan lacks feasibility, overestimates resource availability, and places undue burdens on taxpayers and
rural communities.1. Unrealistic Transportation GoalsThe plan prioritizes multi-modal transit and emerging technologies while neglecting practicalinfrastructure needs:
● Mass Transit Limitations: Expanding public transportation is idealistic, but given the low
population density, mass transit will remain underutilized and costly.
● Neglect of Rural Needs: Vision Zero and Complete Streets focus on urban centers, but
rural roads remain deteriorating without sufficient funding.
● Autonomous Vehicles & Smart Roads: Investing in future technology is premature when
basic road maintenance remains underfunded.
2. Housing Policies Worsen AffordabilityThe plan’s zoning changes and affordable housing policies may exacerbate the housing crisis ratherthan solve it:
● Urban Growth Boundaries Increase Prices: Restricting land use in rural areas artificially
inflates property values, making housing even less affordable.
● Overcrowding Solutions Overlook Economic Realities: Policies ignore that overcrowding
results from low wages and high living costs, not just housing shortages.
● Regulatory Burdens on Developers: Strict zoning and sustainability mandates deter
private investment, reducing housing supply and increasing costs.
3. Infrastructure and Utility Investments Are Unfunded and ImpracticalThe plan assumes major infrastructure expansions without realistic funding mechanisms:
● Green Infrastructure & Energy Transition: Renewable energy projects are costly, and
residents will bear the financial burden of transitioning away from fossil fuels.
● Broadband Expansion: While beneficial, the cost of rural broadband investment is
unsustainable without private sector buy-in.
● Water Conservation Mandates: Restrictions and green infrastructure initiatives may
increase costs for consumers without clear efficiency benefits.
4. Economic Development Overlooks Local Challenges
The plan assumes economic diversification will reduce reliance on tourism but fails to
address key barriers:
● Workforce Shortages in Tech & Healthcare: While the plan emphasizes education and
business services, Hawaiʻi struggles to retain talent due to the high cost of living.
● Tourism Mismanagement: Reducing tourism’s footprint is economically dangerous, as it
remains Hawaiʻi’s largest industry. Balancing conservation and tourism is unrealistic without
clear incentives.
● Agricultural Growth Is Not Feasible at Scale: Farming expansion requires land, water,
and workforce, all of which are limited. Dependence on imports will persist.
5. Climate Resilience Efforts Are Costly and OverreachingClimate change policies in the plan impose expensive regulations without clear economic benefits:
● Sea Level Rise Restrictions Hurt Property Owners: Over-regulating coastal development
diminishes property rights and land values.
● Renewable Energy Transition Increases Costs: Shifting rapidly to renewables raises
electricity prices and risks reliability issues.
● Disaster Preparedness Funding Is Unclear: Climate adaptation measures require
significant public spending without clearly defined funding sources.
Conclusion: A More Balanced Approach Needed
The General Plan 2045 prioritizes idealistic goals over practical solutions. A more balancedapproach should:
1. Focus on essential infrastructure first, ensuring roads, utilities, and housing affordability beforeinvesting in speculative technology.
2. Encourage private-sector solutions rather than increasing government intervention in housing and
economic development.
3. Make climate policies cost-effective, ensuring that taxpayers are not burdened by aggressiverenewable energy mandates.
While the plan’s vision is commendable, its execution threatens affordability, economic
stability, and individual property rights. A more pragmatic approach is necessary to ensure
growth without overregulation and excessive public spending

Aloha,
My testimony yesterday said that you are required, not requested, required to not move this
plan forward. Otherwise, the whole public testimony is a farce and you've wasted our time!
You've heard for over 6-months people crying and angry telling you reasons, giving you pagenumbers of why this plan should not go through!
Yesterday, I had hoped that the Westward Commission would vote to not recommend this
plan as you are required to do. You are sitting in a volunteering seat that is meant to representthe people and the people have told you for over 6-months NOT to put this plan through!
Instead all you've done is changed wording. That will not fix the many issues wrong with this
plan and the effects it will have on Big Island communities. That is putting a bandaid on abreaking dam!
This plan with its zero emissions, electric vehicle mandates, clustered housing, stakeholders
meaning anyone in the entire world has a voice in this plan, making Big Island mostlyConservation land (the "mistake" of changing an Urban land use to Conservation should
STOP this plan immediately), and so forth is a fascist plan that will destroy this island andyou've been told that for over 6-months!
When will you do your kuleana and honor your seat as a representative of the people?
The message you are sending is that people have no voice and what we say doesn't matter
because Big Government will steamroll us and there is no one who will stand up for thepeople!

Subject:Please OPPOSE 2045 General PlanDate:Saturday, February 8, 2025 7:04:11 PM
As an off-and-on resident of the Big Island for over thirty years, I have witnessed the gradual erosion of our rights due to the actions of
the Hawai'i County Planning Department. The department's proposed 2045 General Plan is beyond comprehension for the average
citizen, with complexities that beg for transparency and accountability.
Tragically, this plan includes Land Title Changes, which are deeply concerning. When someone in the Hawai’i County Planning meeting
opposed a land use title change, the director dismissed it as an “oversight.” This raises serious questions about the number of oversights
in their final draft. Changing land use titles strips us of our rights to private property and introduces vague, yet potentially harmful,
rezoning measures.
Furthermore, the plan includes ambitions to create a broadband and smart grid, a lofty goal for an island lacking the necessary
resources. This raises significant questions about the feasibility and environmental implications of such projects.
It's crucial to ensure that these changes DO NOT proceed. We must continue to push for transparency and accountability in these
decisions to protect our land, Island, and future
What's more distressing is that the Hawai’i County Planning Department seems to always focus on high-end development initiatives that
overtax our resources and infrastructure instead of considering the voices of our community. A clear example was when 18,569 voices
opposed development in a petition. Yet, Zendo Kern, the Hawai'i Planning Director at the time, ignored these voices and stated the resort
would not hurt the land even with articles like these two:
https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/cautionary-tale-2019-coral-bleaching-event-
hawaii#:~:text=Coral%20Bleaching%20Is%20Occurring%20more,had%20catastrophic%20impacts%20state%2Dwide

islands/#:~:text=Hawai%CA%BBi's%20reefs%20face%20major%20global,into%20Hawai%CA%BBi's%20waterways%20every%20day
This is the petition he ignored: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/854/086/898/residents-who-oppose-the-resort-in-punaluu-
ka%C5%AB/
This is the article showing Kern’s opposition over local voices: https://www.civilbeat.org/2024/03/hundreds-of-hawaii-island-
residents-protest-proposed-housing-project-in-punaluu/
Additionally, we urge Mayor Kimo Alameda to reappoint a new Hawai'i County Planning Director. Jeff Darrow's 26 years with the Hawai'i
Planning Department, supporting Zendo Kern, have demonstrated a lack of commitment to the land and local voices. These voices have
consistently opposed high-end developments, advocating instead for the conservation of the land for endangered species and the
island's future. Jeff Darrow's support against local voices in the past years shows he is not the right fit for the job, and we demand that
accountability be served.
We need a Planning Director who prioritizes island resources and infrastructure over high-end developments, favors land conservation,
and listens to and supports local voices. We need someone who will work to ensure the Big Island retains its unique character and
doesn't turn into another Oahu.
I stand, and OPPOSE Hawi'i County Planning General Plan for the reasons stated:
In the General Plan
Page 79
9.4 Support mechanisms, such as PUD and Cluster Plan Development (CPD), that group parcel density to preserve open space,
recreational areas, or scenic viewsheds.
The General Plan DOES NOT explain what a PUD means.
Taken from this site: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/what-is-a-planned-unit-development/
"A planned unit development, or PUD, is a community of single-family homes, and sometimes condos or townhomes, where every
homeowner belongs to a homeowners association (HOA)."
Taken from this site: https://www.zillow.com/learn/what_is_pud/
"To most home shoppers, a planned unit development (PUD) may look like a single-family home. But the legal structure for a PUD is
more similar to that of a condo and can impact the mortgage process."
"Again, you’ll need to read all these documents to determine whether that specific PUD is right for you. And remember, all PUDs are
different, so each one will have its own set of rules and restrictions."
Page 80
9.f Study the feasibility, issues, and opportunities related to the development of a TDR program to strategically preserve open space and
achieve density to remain consistent with the land use pattern in accordance with the General Plan Land Use Maps.
It's deeply frustrating that the Hawai'i County Planning Department isn't transparently explaining its Transfer of Development Rights
(TDR) program. It feels like they’re pushing for land use changes that suit their vision without respecting the community’s strong, unified
opposition over the last six months. In every meeting, 100% of the community has voiced their disapproval, yet it seems those concerns
aren't acknowledged.
General Plan Page 87
Everything below is to enforce their TDR program, which they are not explaining.
13.1 Encourage flexibility in the design of residential sites, buildings, and related facilities to achieve a diversity of socio-economic
housing mix and innovative means of meeting the market requirements.
13.2 Prioritize increase in density, rehabilitation, and redevelopment within existing zoned urban areas already served by basic
infrastructure, or close to such areas.
13.4 Encourage the rehabilitation and/or utilization of maximum density in multi-family residential areas.
13.8 Focus on medium- and high-density residential and commercial uses in communities that can sustain a higher intensity of uses and
where consistent with General Plan Land Use Map and existing town character
13.9 Support the rezoning of land to multiple residential near places of employment, retail, utilities, and educational, recreational,
cultural, and public facilities.
Their efforts to align with the General Plan Land Use Map are causing significant changes across the island, which is a significant
concern. For example, changing the land use title from agricultural to urban for Hokulia would allow developers to bypass the
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) requirements, which are crucial for protecting the land and the community. This move could have
profound implications for the environment and local residents.
Moreover, they're not considering the island's resources, which are already under considerable strain. Please see these News Articles in
this petition that show how the Big Island is dealing with resource and infrastructure issues because Hawai’i County Planning is not
making it a priority https://www.change.org/p/help-big-island-resources-and-infrastructure-stay-safe-for-all-who-live-here-and-
visit
Page 149
30.12 Plan for broadband infrastructure to support smart grid development
Hawai’i County Planning doesn’t talk about the power broadband and a smart grid will need, and Hawai’i Electric states, “That’s why we
will need everyone to work together over the next month, and possibly longer, to conserve electricity. We are extremely tight on what we
call our generation margin, the margin between the demand for electricity and our ability to supply it. This demand typically peaks on
weekdays between 5 and 9 p.m. and that’s when the margin is most critical.”
https://www.hawaiianelectric.com/safety-and-outages/an-update-on-hawaii-island-power-generation
The island doesn’t have the power for broadband or a smart grid.
https://smartgrid.ieee.org/resources?cafid=0&id=223:
“A smart grid alone does three things. First, it modernizes power systems through self-healing designs, automation, remote monitoring
and control… Thus, a smart grid sits at the heart of the smart city, which cannot fully exist without it”.
Also, a Smart Grid will allow them to have more control through “remote monitoring,” which will invade our privacy.
https://minnovation.com.au/smart-cities-2/disadvantages-of-smart-cities-potential-challenges-and-concerns/:
“Privacy and Data Security:
Smart cities rely heavily on the collection and analysis of vast amounts of data from sensors, cameras, and connected devices. This data is
crucial for optimizing city operations and services. However, extensive data gathering raises concerns about privacy infringement and
data security. Citizens worry about their personal information being accessed or misused.”
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240584402414011X:
Drawbacks or disadvantages of Smart Grid
Following are the drawbacks or disadvantages of Smart Grid:
Continuous communication network should be available.
During emergency situation, network congestion or performance are big challenges in smart grid system.
Cellular network providers do not provide guaranteed service in abnormal situations such as wind storm, heavy rain and lightening
conditions.
Some smart meters can be hacked which can be used to increase or decrease the demand for power.
It is expensive to install smart meter compare to traditional old electricity meter.
Hawai’i County Planning Department does NOT have any research about how a broadband and smart grid will affect the health of the
island, its community, animals, and plants. For example, at the bottom of this article, it
states https://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/11104/the-dangers-that-come-with-a-smart-grid:
“Re: The Dangers That Come with a Smart Grid
#1
John Endres
2018-Feb-23 2:31 PM
One very critical danger that comes with a "smart grid" was not mentioned: the adverse health effects from electromagnetic fields.
Current estimates of people experiencing adverse health effects from wireless technology hover at around 5%--I am one of them. After
the installation of a water utility smart meter at my place of work, I experienced an escalation of symptoms (over time) that started with
headaches and ultimately culminated in a seizure (I lost control of my legs). One month prior to the smart meter installation I had a
complete annual physical and was given a clean bill of health. I underwent a barrage of medical tests after a week of experiencing health
symptoms (thyroid, EEG, MRI, etc.) and everything was normal. I did begin to feel some of the painful head and eye sensations (that I
would feel near wireless sources) at the end of the MRI.”
Nor do they have any research on health risks with cell towers that they are allowing to be placed anywhere, and some of these cell
tower tops are just a few feet from residential homes, HWY, and retirement homes…because a lot of the island is a mountain. If you put
the base of a cell tower on one street, the top could be directly across from the community.
https://mdsafetech.org/cell-tower-health-effects/:
*** Percentage of studies that reported harmful effect of EMR in various groups in MOEF Report
Human Effects– 62% showed effects, 13% no effect and 25% inconclusive
Plant Effects– 87% showed effects and 13% were inconclusive
Wildlife Effects- 62% showed effects, 4% no effect and 36% inconclusive
Bee Effects—85% showed effects and 15% no effect
Bird Effects- 77% showed effects, 10% no effect and 13% inconclusive
“Overall results of this review show three types of effects by base station antennas on the health of people: radiofrequency sickness (RS),
cancer (C) and changes in biochemical parameters (CBP). Considering all the studies reviewed globally (n = 38), 73.6% (28/38) showed
effects: 73.9% (17/23) for radiofrequency sickness, 76.9% (10/13) for cancer and 75.0% (6/8) for changes in biochemical parameters...Of
special importance are the studies performed on animals or trees near base station antennas that cannot be aware of their proximity
and to which psychosomatic effects can never be attributed.”
It's concerning that the Hawai'i County Planning Department isn't providing detailed information about the potential disadvantages of
broadband and smart grid projects. They seem to be focusing on the benefits without addressing the possible negative impacts,
especially when the island lacks the extra power for it.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240584402414011X:
"However smart grids, being computerized remote-control systems overseeing electricity distribution, are vulnerable to cyberattacks."
30.5 Siting of new communications facilities shall comply with performance standards and site colocation as stated in the Code.
Hawai’i Planning does not explain that they use the word “sitting” to mean the laying of cable underground. The term "siting of new
communications facilities" is extremely confusing. It generally refers to the process of selecting and preparing locations for new
infrastructure, such as towers and cables, needed to support broadband and smart grid projects. This often involves road construction
and can lead to increased traffic and disruptions because these cables need to be laid underground.
These cables could be laid shallow as this site states https://primex.com/fiber-optic-internet-going-underground/:
“The terrain and the local conditions need to be taken into account when considering underground broadband deployment. In rocky
terrain, cable must be laid in a shallow trench.”
https://pulsefibre.co.uk/2023/06/15/when-more-is-less-the-risks-and-downsides-of-overbuild/:
“Cost: Fibre optic broadband infrastructure can be an expensive endeavour, especially if it involves duplicating existing networks. This
cost can ultimately be passed on to consumers, making broadband services more expensive and potentially reducing the adoption rate
of fibre optic services.
Inefficiency: As mentioned above, overbuilding can lead to dormant infrastructure, creating wasted resources and increased
environmental impact. This is particularly relevant in the case of fibre optic broadband, where installing fibre can be resource intensive.
Fragmentation: When different service providers own and operate various parts of the infrastructure, it can make it difficult for
consumers to switch between providers and could result in reduced competition.
Legal and regulatory issues: Particularly in cases where existing service providers have exclusive rights to operate in certain areas. This
can result in lengthy legal battles that delay the deployment of new infrastructure.
Maintenance: Increased maintenance costs can occur, especially if there is redundant infrastructure that needs to be maintained. This
can ultimately lead to higher costs for consumers or reduced network quality – something we are wholeheartedly against at Pulse Fibre.
Technology obsolescence: Expensive upgrades or replacements may be required down the line if new infrastructure is not designed to
accommodate future upgrades.
Wasted resources: Overbuilding for fibre solutions can result in the waste of valuable resources, including time, money, and materials.
Environmental: Overbuilding multiplies CO2 emissions as duplicate workforces are deployed, travelling more miles, digging more holes
and creating a piecemeal labour profile. As well as laying more raw materials which may never get used. More information can be found
on the Journal of Lightwave Technology.”
It's concerning that the Hawai'i County Planning Department isn't addressing the increasing traffic issues while pushing for broadband
and smart grid projects. Infrastructure, especially roadways, is already under significant strain, and these new projects will exacerbate
the problem rather than alleviate it.

It's frustrating to see so many development applications going up all over when the Big Island clearly does not need more resorts and
golf courses. The island is already facing resource issues with existing developments, and there are still many years of already-approved
projects that haven't even been started yet.
The island needs sustainable development that prioritizes the well-being of residents and the conservation of the island's resources.

Dear public representatives and elected officials,
This is my sworn testimony. I am committed to tell the absolute truth about the goals and intendedoutcomes of General Plan 2045 and implore you as our representatives to not allow this to beapproved for Hawaii Island.I ask you how do you envision the Big Island in the future and does it need high technology?The General Plan 2045 is not a recommendation it is a calculated blue print of verbiage tocreate the infrastructure needed for a high tech digital economy.I had prepared to speak Thursday about “Economy and Monitoring”, the topic that was given atthe last meeting in January, but it obviously changed to Transportation? Which, at this juncture isbeating a dead horse and a fraction of the agenda at hand. I was going to speak Friday but the
meeting was canceled.I am excited to discuss this Economic Action Plan and point out how most of it is about buildinghigh-speed technology that would be needed for the reset control grid of global governance. One must educate ones self on the global goals in the world to see through these
“recommendations”.Table 61: Thriving, Diverse, Regenerative Economy ActionsEmerging Industries?Manufacturing??Economic Diversification????Ask yourself why it is so important for Hawaii to have such a massive infrastructure and freefull spectrum wifi internet? The “sustainable/resillient” global agenda has already been occurring for a very long time inHawaii through millions of dollars of Federal and international funding to our state. This is one recent funding- Hawaii secures over $6M to bridge digital divide Have you taken the time to study the details of what all this new economy is about and thefinal end game for each and every State?
The new economy for the world will be a Quantum everything and everyone. Emphasis onmanufacturing and emerging industries and expanded government with a need for 50% more
energy to run all the super AI computing. No wonder this big goal has to cut human energy use! In regard to agriculture there is not much content or intention here. Who are the agriculturalstakeholders? What do the farmers want and need in this special environment? Major Corporatetechnology?
You can bet Hawaii will need a mini Silicon Valley to run what is planned and food is not high onthe list.
As with all the “Agenda” planning one must think critically to figure out what it is really being
said as there is no thesaurus. In case you have not studied it this is just one small article about theplan that can easily be found.
Agenda 21“ Think Globally act locally” is the UN Agenda 21 propaganda catch phrase.

Testimony General Plan 2045
Martha Stephens, Kealia, HI
To:Hawaii Island Planning Commission, County Council and Mayor
Dear public representatives and elected officials,
This is my sworn testimony. I am committed to tell the absolute truth about the goals and intendedoutcomes of General Plan 2045 and implore you as our representatives to not allow this to beapproved for Hawaii Island.
I ask you how do you envision the Big Island in the future and does it need high technology?The General Plan 2045 is not a recommendation it is a calculated blue print of verbiage to createthe infrastructure needed for a high tech digital economy.I had prepared to speak Thursday about “Economy and Monitoring”, the topic that was given at the
last meeting in January, but it obviously changed to Transportation? Which, at this juncture isbeating a dead horse and a fraction of the agenda at hand. I was going to speak Friday but themeeting was canceled.I am excited to discuss this Economic Action Plan and point out how most of it is about buildinghigh-speed technology that would be needed for the reset control grid of global governance. Onemust educate ones self on the global goals in the world to see through these “recommendations”.Table 61: Thriving, Diverse, Regenerative Economy ActionsEmerging Industries?Manufacturing??Economic Diversification????Ask yourself why it is so important for Hawaii to have such a massive infrastructure and freefull spectrum wifi internet? The “sustainable/resillient” global agenda has already been occurring for a very long time in Hawaiithrough millions of dollars of Federal and international funding to our state.
This is one recent funding- Hawaii secures over $6M to bridge digital
divide
Have you taken the time to study the details of what all this new economy is about and the finalend game for each and every State?The new economy for the world will be a Quantum everything and everyone. Emphasis onmanufacturing and emerging industries and expanded government with a need for 50% more energy
to run all the super AI computing. No wonder this big goal has to cut human energy use! In regard to agriculture there is not much content or intention here. Who are the agriculturalstakeholders? What do the farmers want and need in this special environment? Major Corporatetechnology?
You can bet Hawaii will need a mini Silicon Valley to run what is planned and food is not high onthe list.
As with all the “Agenda” planning one must think critically to figure out what it is really being said
as there is no thesaurus. In case you have not studied it this is just one small article about the planthat can easily be found.
Agenda 21“ Think Globally act locally” is the UN Agenda 21 propaganda catch phrase.\https://www.nislowgrow.org/slog-blog/ok-what-is-u-n-

As part of the educated public we all believe that you represent our human rights and financialinterests and are not in fear of rejecting this system and can and will say NO to the General Plan2045. We can only hope the incredible amount of funding coming to Hawaii for this agenda will not
sway your decisions. We respect that you are service to others not service to self in these matters.Thank you for doing what the people are requesting. The right

The United Nations 2030
Agenda decoded: It's a
blueprint for the global
enslavement of humanity
under the boot of corporate
masters
Friday, September 04, 2015
by Mike Adams,
(NaturalNews) This week, Michael Snyder published an important
article entitled The 2030 Agenda: This Month The UN Launches A
Blueprint For A New World Order With The Help Of The Pope.
That article references this UN "2030 Agenda" document that
pushes a blueprint for so-called "sustainable development"
around the world.
This document describes nothing less than a global government
takeover of every nation across the planet. The "goals" of this
document are nothing more than code words for a corporate-
government fascist agenda that will imprison humanity in a
devastating cycle of poverty while enriching the world's most
powerful globalist corporations like Monsanto and DuPont.
In the interests of helping wake up humanity, I've decided to
translate the 17 points of this 2030 agenda so that readers
everywhere can understand what this document is really calling
for. To perform this translation, you have to understand how
globalists disguise their monopolistic agendas in "feel good"
language.
Here's the point-by-point translation. Notice carefully that
nowhere does this document state that "achieving human
freedom" is one of its goals. Nor does it explain HOW these
goals are to be achieved. As you'll see here, every single point in
this UN agenda is to be achieved through centralized
government control and totalitarian mandates that resemble
communism.
Translation of the UN's "2030 Agenda
blueprint for globalist government"
(controlled by corporate interests)
Goal 1) End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Translation: Put everyone on government welfare, food stamps,
housing subsidies and handouts that make them obedient slaves
to global government. Never allow people upward mobility to help
themselves. Instead, teach mass victimization and obedience to a
government that provides monthly "allowance" money for basic
essentials like food and medicine. Label it "ending poverty."
Goal 2) End hunger, achieve food security and improved
nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
Translation: Invade the entire planet with GMOs and Monsanto's
patented seeds while increasing the use of deadly herbicides
under the false claim of "increased output" of food crops.
Engineer genetically modified plants to boost specific vitamin
chemicals while having no idea of the long-term consequences of
genetic pollution or cross-species genetic experiments carried out
openly in a fragile ecosystem.
Goal 3) Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at
all ages
Translation: Mandate 100+ vaccines for all children and adults at
gunpoint, threatening parents with arrest and imprisonment if they
refuse to cooperate. Push heavy medication use on children and
teens while rolling out "screening" programs. Call mass
medication "prevention" programs and claim they improve the
health of citizens.
Goal 4) Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and
promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
Translation: Push a false history and a dumbed-down education
under "Common Core" education standards that produce
obedient workers rather than independent thinkers. Never let
people learn real history, or else they might realize they don't want
to repeat it.
Goal 5) Achieve gender equality and empower all women and
girls
Translation: Criminalize Christianity, marginalize heterosexuality,
demonize males and promote the LGBT agenda everywhere. The
real goal is never "equality" but rather the marginalization and
shaming of anyone who expresses any male characteristics
whatsoever. The ultimate goal is to feminize society, creating
widespread acceptance of "gentle obedience" along with the self-
weakening ideas of communal property and "sharing" everything.
Because only male energy has the strength to rise up against
oppression and fight for human rights, the suppression of male
energy is key to keeping the population in a state of eternal
acquiescence.
Goal 6) Ensure availability and sustainable management of
water and sanitation for all
Translation: Allow powerful corporations to seize control of the
world's water supplies and charge monopoly prices to "build new
water delivery infrastructure" that "ensures availability."
Goal 7) Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and
modern energy for all
Translation: Penalize coal, gas and oil while pushing doomed-to-
fail "green" energy subsidies to brain-dead startups headed by
friends of the White House who all go bankrupt in five years or
less. The green startups make for impressive speeches and
media coverage, but because these companies are led by corrupt
idiots rather than capable entrepreneurs, they always go broke.
(And the media hopes you don't remember all the fanfare
surrounding their original launch.)
Goal 8) Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable
economic growth, full and productive employment and
decent work for all
Translation: Regulate small business out of existence with
government-mandated minimum wages that bankrupt entire
sectors of the economy. Force employers to meet hiring quotas of
LGBT workers while mandating wage tiers under a centrally
planned work economy dictated by the government. Destroy free
market economics and deny permits and licenses to those
companies that don't obey government dictates.
Goal 9) Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and
sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Translation: Put nations into extreme debt with the World Bank,
spending debt money to hire corrupt American corporations to
build large-scale infrastructure projects that trap developing
nations in an endless spiral of debt. See the book Confessions of
an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins to understand the details of
how this scheme has been repeated countless times over the last
several decades.
Goal 10) Reduce inequality within and among countries
Translation: Punish the rich, the entrepreneurs and the
innovators, confiscating nearly all gains by those who choose to
work and excel. Redistribute the confiscated wealth to the masses
of non-working human parasites that feed off a productive
economy while contributing nothing to it... all while screaming
about "equality!"
Goal 11) Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable
Translation: Ban all gun ownership by private citizens,
concentrating guns into the hands of obedient government
enforcers who rule over an unarmed, enslaved class of
impoverished workers. Criminalize living in most rural areas by
instituting Hunger Games-style "protected areas" which the
government will claim are owned by "the People" even though no
people are allowed to live there. Force all humans into densely
packed, tightly controlled cities where they are under 24/7
surveillance and subject to easy manipulation by government.
Goal 12) Ensure sustainable consumption and production
patterns
Translation: Begin levying punitive taxes on the consumption of
fossil fuels and electricity, forcing people to live under conditions
of worsening standards of living that increasingly resemble Third
World conditions. Use social influence campaigns in TV, movies
and social media to shame people who use gasoline, water or
electricity, establishing a social construct of ninnies and tattlers
who rat out their neighbors in exchange for food credit rewards.
Goal 13) Take urgent action to combat climate change and its
impacts
Translation: Set energy consumption quotas on each human
being and start punishing or even criminalizing "lifestyle
decisions" that exceed energy usage limits set by governments.
Institute total surveillance of individuals in order to track and
calculate their energy consumption. Penalize private vehicle
ownership and force the masses onto public transit, where TSA
grunts and facial recognition cameras can monitor and record the
movement of every person in society, like a scene ripped right out
of Minority Report.
Goal 14) Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and
marine resources for sustainable development
Translation: Ban most ocean fishing, plunging the food supply into
an extreme shortage and causing runaway food price inflation that
puts even more people into economic desperation. Criminalize
the operation of private fishing vessels and place all ocean fishing
operations under the control of government central planning. Only
allow favored corporations to conduct ocean fishing operations
(and make this decision based entirely on which corporations give
the most campaign contributions to corrupt lawmakers).
Goal 15) Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat
desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and
halt biodiversity loss
Translation: Roll out Agenda 21 and force humans off the land
and into controlled cities. Criminalize private land ownership,
including ranches and agricultural tracts. Tightly control all
agriculture through a corporate-corrupted government
bureaucracy whose policies are determined almost entirely by
Monsanto while being rubber-stamped by the USDA. Ban
woodstoves, rainwater collection and home gardening in order to
criminalize self-reliance and force total dependence on
government.
Goal 16) Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for
sustainable development, provide access to justice for all
and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at
all levels
Translation: Grant legal immunity to illegal aliens and "protected"
minority groups, which will be free to engage in any illegal activity
-- including openly calling for the mass murder of police officers --
because they are the new protected class in society. "Inclusive
institutions" means granting favorable tax structures and
government grants to corporations that hire LGBT workers or
whatever groups are currently in favor with the central planners in
government. Use the IRS and other federal agencies to
selectively punish unfavorable groups with punitive audits and
regulatory harassment, all while ignoring the criminal activities of
favored corporations that are friends of the political elite.
Goal 17) Strengthen the means of implementation and
revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development
Translation: Enact global trade mandates that override national
laws while granting unrestricted imperialism powers to companies
like Monsanto, Dow Chemical, RJ Reynolds, Coca-Cola and
Merck. Pass global trade pacts that bypass a nation's lawmakers
and override intellectual property laws to make sure the world's
most powerful corporations maintain total monopolies over drugs,
seeds, chemicals and technology. Nullify national laws and
demand total global obedience to trade agreements authored by
powerful corporations and rubber-stamped by the UN.
Total enslavement of the planet by 2030
As the UN document says, "We commit ourselves to working
tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda by 2030."
If you read the full document and can read beyond the fluffery and
public relations phrases, you'll quickly realize that this UN
agenda is going to be forced upon all the citizens of the
world through the invocation of government coercion.
Nowhere does this document state that the rights of the individual
will be protected. Nor does it even acknowledge the existence of
human rights granted to individuals by the Creator. Even the so-
called "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" utterly denies
individuals the right to self defense, the right to medical choice
and the right to parental control over their own children.
The UN is planning nothing less than a global government
tyranny that enslaves all of humanity while calling the scheme
"sustainable development" and "equality."
1984 has finally arrived. And of course it's all being rolled out
under the fraudulent label of "progress."
