Association property. Again, Maija pointed out the map, if you want to bring that up Maija the Exhibit B, if you could. Oops, I think Maija is on mute. JACKSON: Just give me one minute here. TOMLINSON: Absolutely. JACKSON: Okay, can you see that? TOMLINSON: Yes. So, as Maija mentioned we relocated the tower, the monopine off to the northeast and you'll see as she pointed out you'll see the 105-foot radius. The white circle is from the new location and so the abandoned basketball hoop is 124 feet away and the corner of the fence at the playground is 151 feet away from that new location. I also like to take the opportunity to emphasis the structural integrity and the design of the proposed tower. In Attachment C that we provided to you is the Structural Professional Engineer letter submitted to the Commission at the March 5th hearing and to summarize it provides information regarding how the monopine will be designed and built for structural integrity pursuant to State and County Standards. As is noted, the State of Hawaii and the Hawaii County Code adopted the 2006 Edition of the International Building Code as their standard. This Hawaii County Building Code requires a telecommunication towers together with the initial antenna and equipment must withstand winds of at least 100 miles per hour. AT&T requires that its towers adhere to the more stringent 2018 Edition of the International Building Code. AT&T requires its new towers and initial equipment installation to be designed to withstand winds of up to 120 miles per hour which exceeds the Hawaii County Building Code requirements. A principal objective of the proposed facility is public safety as you heard from the Fire Department and the Police Department. The construction of the proposed facility will not only expand the wireless phone service in the area for the general public but also expand FirstNet coverage in Hawaiian Paradise Park area. FirstNet was authorized by Congress and developed through the U.S. Department of Commerce and is being built through a public-private partnership with AT&T and local governments. The network gives first responders priority in emergency situations to send voice, text, images, videos, location information, in real time. Enables information sharing across disciplines and jurisdiction. The network also dramatically increases situational awareness. Supports faster, more effective responses in emergencies and disasters and provides public safety users for the assurance of network access whenever they need it. The proposed facility would be part of the FirstNet Network in Hawaii. Denial of the application would leave a significant gap in network coverage from potentially compromised public safety in the area. The FirstNet authority actually submitted a letter in support in June. They stated that the FirstNet authority's mission is to provide and maintain a single, and inoperable platform that consistently satisfies the demanding communications needs of the public safety community in Hawaii and across the country. New radio access sites are essential to the success of the program and delivering the mission critical coverage public safety needs to communicate and save lives. EXHIBIT B 14
