the State of Hawaii, it shows that road going all the way through to Paradise Park. But, at the <br />last minute, Watamull, the developer, put a dead end there for the purposes that I just stated. <br />Because he knew it was culturally sensitive. He didn't want traffic flow going through there all <br />the time. So, he made a dead end. Now, you can check any map, it'll show you exactly what <br />I'm saying. It shows the road going through. Now why does it dead end all of a sudden, after <br />the subdivision was already planned? Watamull knew that that was culturally sensitive. And <br />also, the area has never, as far as I know, applied for an EIS or an archaeological survey through <br />the Hawaii Archaeological Society. And there's owls, hawks, been nesting there for like <br />forever right where the tower is. And I agree with the other people who've stated that the <br />children play right where they're talking about. Hawaii Paradise Park is the third largest <br />community on the Big Island. We have more people than Waimea, but we have no infrastructure <br />except for a few good paved roads. We have one park for the entire community. We have <br />community events right right where the tower wants to be placed. We have children, like you <br />said, all the time. Now this area's been completely overgrown with another tree issue. We have <br />an Albezia tree issue. Now HPPOA are not good stewards. They haven't done a thing about it. <br />They're letting these Albezia trees grow everywhere. You cannot drive, you cannot drive <br />between Maku`u and Paradise Park on 16'h Street because of the Albezia trees, HELCO will not <br />put power. They have a very bad problem with that to begin with. <br />Now, I never was mailed a notice of this meeting. I found out yesterday about this meeting. I <br />hadn't received nothing in writing, nor did my son who is a property owner down there also, in <br />the mail which is in violation of Sunshine Law, and that right there is grounds for a dismissal on <br />this project. There are many other, you know, I agree with everything that everybody has said. <br />But the fact of the matter is this is a private subdivision. Now what AT&T does not understand <br />about the word private, I don't know. We pay for the roads. We pay exorbitant amounts of <br />money every year to keep our road maintained for anybody who wants to go down there. Why? <br />Why are we the responsible people for road maintenance when anybody, including AT&T wants <br />to come and live in our backyard? Now I've been paying road maintenance fees down there for <br />over forty-two years. Now that amounts to at least $10,000 inroad equity. Does AT&T have <br />any road equity? Zero. Are they ever going to have any? What, they're going to pay $400 a <br />year lease for their property? That's a commercial venture right there. They're going to pay <br />money for leasing something that's commercially tied to big brother, then that's a commercial <br />project. That's an ag, ag zoned land. That 20 -acre parcel was set aside by Watumull as parks <br />and recreation, not for commercial ventures. We're in a private subdivision for God's sake. <br />With no infrastructure, and this would be the first infrastructure that we get? I don't think so. <br />And it's just like, nobody's doing their homework and I don't think that AT&T can compete <br />with Verizon and that looks like what they're doing. They're trying to compete with Verizon. <br />We have no problem with reception. I have a phone here. Now, I switched out of AT&T years <br />ago. <br />RAFFIPIY: Please start wrapping up. <br />A. SCHISZLER: Oh, oh, excuse me. I've had AT&T years ago and I quit their service because <br />of bad reception. It's, it's, it's, it's not a reception issue. We have good reception with Verizon. <br />And I've been told by NETCOM, who's one of the biggest computer people in the area that <br />EXHIBIT D <br />13 <br />
