From: Jeannie Jewell <br /> To: LPCtestimonv <br /> Cc: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: OPPOSE:Item 1,Rules 8&9 <br /> Date: Tuesday,May 30,2023 4:11:11 PM <br /> Aloha Leeward and Windward Planning Commission, <br /> Please oppose agenda item 1, the Planning Department's Shoreline Setback of 40 feet for <br /> Rules 8 and 9. <br /> I oppose it due to: <br /> - Lack of descriptive detail in Rules 8 and 9 <br /> - Rule 8: the inadequate setback requirements while Oahu and Maui commit to 60-130 feet <br /> setback, further aligning with Hawai'i State's Climate Resilient initiatives. <br /> - Disregarding our Native Hawaiian people with Hawai'i County Planning Department <br /> proposing weak archaeological rules that will not protect cultural and historic sites. <br /> - These changes seem to benefit the usual suspects of private owners, corporations, and <br /> offshore investors without carefully considering our local communities'well-being and the <br /> protection of our natural and cultural resources. <br /> These written rules, as they stand, hold too many loopholes. Therefore, Item 1, Rules 8 & 9, <br /> should NOT pass. <br /> Thank you for this opportunity, <br /> Jean Jewell <br /> 96725 <br />
