PALEKA-KAMA: Aloha mai kakou. My name is Kaui Paleka-Kama, and I live right on the access road. I'm a lessee of record and did not receive notice. The County Code, Chapter 25, Use Permits require special attention to ensure there are no substantial adverse impacts on the surrounding community, and the special attention in this situation, if they are going to access via where they initially put the sign but then had to put it on an actual public road, old plantation camp roads were initially big paths. And, when the plantation closed and workers got the land, they never create one community association. Big paths belong to the property owners, and everyone does their part in their area to maintain the road in lieu of a road maintenance fee. So, I question the vague reference to a deed of the access road. They may own the road at the access point only in this situation, but no way they own the whole road. So, they need permission from the other owners of the road! And, you going tell by the testifying, they don't have it. The General Plan directs that public utilities, or in this case, the cell tower, shall—not may, shall—complement the adjacent agriculture and residential areas and minimize noise disturbance. I live right at that corner. The acoustics in that area are wonderful. I can hear the `io at night. I can hear even when they are in the pasture just talking. A beautiful place, the scene, everything. So, there is no way they can really minimize the noise impact. That consistent humming going be amplified, and in the General Plan, the one and only, and I don't know if that's good or bad, specific standard for cell towers in the General Plan dictates that the scenic views and vistas again shall be considered and preserved where possible. So, I told you a little bit about the area, the animals, and specialness of the place, and you will hear the other impacts, the adverse impacts on the scenery, on the environment, on the potential health, on the noise, but it has already impacted the community socially. Mr. Umiat has been asking one of the neighborhood boys why everybody upset. So, he might not be aware of all the impacts, and he get right to do what he like on his property, but not at the expense of potentially harming others. So, it doesn't look like it meets the criteria based on the special issue of the community and the GP, and the adverse impacts on the vista, privacy, environment, noise, health, and social impacts. Mahalo for my time. RAFFIPIY: Mahalo. AU: Mr. Chair, I've got a quick question for the testifier. HALL: After. AU: Okay. RAFFIPIY: Let them finish up, please. Thank you. EXHIBIT B 12
