From: Shannon Rudolph <br /> To: WPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: OPPOSE Item 1, Rules 8 and 9 <br /> Date: Wednesday, May 31,2023 5:51:14 PM <br /> Aloha Windward Planning Commission, <br /> Please oppose agenda item 1, the Planning Department's Shoreline Setback of 20-40 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 /> Mahalo, Shannon Rudolph - Holualoa <br /> 40 year resident <br />
