From: Motter Snell <br /> To: LPCtestimony <br /> Cc: WPCtestimony <br /> Subject: OPPOSE:Item 1,Rules 8&9 <br /> Date: Tuesday,May 30,2023 6:26:23 AM <br /> Aloha Leeward and Windward Planning Commission, <br /> Please oppose agenda item 1,the Planning Department's Shoreline Setback of 40 feet for 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 setback,further aligning <br /> with Hawai'i State's Climate Resilient initiatives. <br /> -Disregarding our Native Hawaiian people with Hawai'i County Planning Department proposing weak <br /> archaeological rules that will not protect cultural and historic sites. <br /> -These changes seem to benefit the usual suspects of private owners,corporations,and offshore investors without <br /> carefully considering our local communities'well-being and the protection of our natural and cultural resources. <br /> These written rules,as they stand,hold too many loopholes.Therefore,Item 1,Rules 8&9,should NOT pass. <br /> Thank you for this opportunity, <br /> Motter Snell <br /> 96725 <br /> Sent from my iPhone <br />
