I am writing as a concerned citizen and property owner on Hawaii Island. This plan design
appears to take the choice of future development on this island away from the residents, and
give it to these nameless;Stakeholders" I am also concerned by what appears to be a tidal wave
of red tape and bureaucracy headed our way. Steve Shropshire has drawn up an excellent plan
for a better way forward. And there is nothing being done to protect us from invasive species,
plant and insect. Our island has been allowed to be over run with almost zero protection from
incoming pests, but try and sell your produce off the island, and you will hit a wall. If you are
trying to destroy the quality of life and sustainability of life on this aina, this plan will go a
long ways towards accomplishing that goal. Absolutely tone deaf to our needs, so it must be
drafted by some rich guys who want to take over. Please go back to the drawing boards before
you run off the remaining Kanakas and the rest of the citizenry. Sincerely, John Kochiss
