PALEKA-KAMA: Paleka-Kama. <br />AU: P, starts with a P. So, I'm just looking to see if you were notified. <br />PALEKA-KAMA: No. <br />AU: You know, you mentioned that you weren't notified? <br />PALEKA-KAMA: No, the way I found out was initially they wen put the sign, yeah, the sign on <br />the non-public road and then with the [inaudible] of the other people, I got a copy of what AT&T <br />acquisition department sent. You know, I going just add. You know the application, and <br />because this is special use, you know the, I don't even see where the application addresses not <br />only the construction but what about the deconstruction. Like we just going let this pole stand in <br />the yard till the thing fall down? Whose kuleana going be? Especially in this kind variance use <br />of that zone. And, no worry Mr. Umiat, we going heal from this. <br />AU: Okay, ma'am, thank you very much. You answered my question. That's all, Mr. Chair. <br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much, appreciate it. We'll call up the next testifiers. We have <br />Melonie Lucero, Edelyn Ellwood, Sariah Evans, and Byron Mathews. Please raise your right <br />hands. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning <br />Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: Yes/I do. <br />RAFFIPIY: All right, we're going to start from right going to left. Please state your name, <br />speak directly in the microphone, where you live, and please proceed. <br />LUCERO: My name is Melonie Lucero, a resident in the area of the proposed monopole by <br />New Cingular Wireless, AT&T Mobility. My family has been living in our home since the <br />1960's when my grandparents built the home. My children are the third generation in this home, <br />and I strongly oppose the construction and installation of cell towers and other wireless facilities <br />including but not limited to the antennas, smart cells, mini cells, and other neighbors—in our <br />neighborhood near schools, parks, churches, and homes and other community gathering places. <br />I'm opposed to the plans to install cell antennas and association equipment at the TMK No. (3) <br />1-7-031:031, and on any other utility pole and other location in Kea`au and adjacent <br />neighborhoods. This site is nestled within our home radius, and as would anybody else, this is <br />where we habitat for safety. This would be directly in front of, within dangerous radius of <br />where, as a community, we sleep, eat, and care for our children. <br />Furthermore, I am opposed to any of AT&T's further plans for additional sites in our <br />neighborhood within miles of our home. By placing cell towers in neighborhoods that are <br />causing irreparable damage to our health, which I understand is a subject that cannot be entirely <br />addressed, but the future of our children and even our property values, residents of Hawai` i <br />should be able to buy and build with confidence that responsible planning and zoning will adhere <br />EXHIBIT B <br />17 <br />
