RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much Maija. Do we have any questions from the Commission to Maija? Okay, no questions. At this time, we'd like to have the Applicant make his presentation. I know that Mr. Tomlinson was already sworn in when we had sworn in everybody. So, Mr. Tomlinson is it only you from the Applicant or do you have members of your team that will need to be sworn in? TOMLINSON: Okay, thank you, good morning. Aloha Mr. Chair and members of the Windward Planning Commission and Director Yee. As you know, my name is Andrew Tomlinson and I'm here with Katherine Garson and we're representing AT&T. RAFFIPIY: Yes, sir. Mr. Tomlinson, do we need to swear in Katherine cause I know you are already sworn in but I'm not sure if Katherine was sworn in. TOMLINSON: Oh, okay. I'm sorry, Katherine? GARSON: Hi, Chair. I am their attorney from Carlsmith Ball, I'm representing AT&T and one of their attorney's in the litigation. RAFFIPIY: Okay, I would need to swear you in please. Can you please raise your right hand, do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Windward Planning Commission? GARSON: Yes, I do. RAFFIPIY: Thank you ma'am. Mr. Tomlinson you may proceed. TOMLINSON: Thank you Mr. Chair. I just want to ask real quick first from the Commission if anybody had any questions stemming from testimony given earlier? If not, I'll summarize some of the information that was presented to you. When we last met you know we were at staying home orders and unfortunately, we're still under the same conditions. But this ongoing crisis actually really highlights the quality, the necessary conditions that requires wireless broadband service for the benefit of the community and safety of the community. This proposed site at Hawaiian Paradise Park was chosen to fill a really significant gap in coverage and it's going to facilitate a faster and more reliable network for the underserved part of the island. It's going to become a vital infrastructure node for public safety and emergency responders as part of FirstNet. AT&T is providing you with further information as Maija pointed out regarding the 105-foot monopine tower at Hawaiian Paradise Park. I just wanted to clarify it's a 100-foot tower with 5-footer branches and as Maija showed in Attachment A we provided you with a revised plot plan of the proposed facility relocating. In my written testimony I presented as approximately (ten) 10 feet it's actually thirteen (13)point, thirteen (13) feet and two (2) inches is the exact measurement. We listed as ten (10) feet to be conservative and its moved to the northeast of the licensed area within Hawaiian Paradise Park Homeowners Association lease. The new location is proposed, the relocation of the tower will move it further away from the abandoned basketball court and the playground area on the Hawaiian Paradise Park Homeowners EXHIBIT B 13
