DARROW: Yeah. <br /> CLARKSON: I think the monopipe would certainly look better from the road I know the tower <br /> is not visible for any residents that's the existence now as far as I know but from the Pahoa- <br /> Kalapana Highway would be — <br /> DARROW: So, this would be a minor change to Condition 3 that identifies the broad leaf tree, <br /> and we would just change it to a monopine. <br /> TOMLINSON: Okay. <br /> DARROW: Thank you. <br /> TOMLINSON: That's fine, thank you. <br /> REPLOGLE: Okay, again, it was moved by Commissioner Clarkson and seconded by <br /> Commissioner Raffipiy that the project be allowed to proceed that the tower structurally be able <br /> to accommodate an equal antenna system to the one that AT & T is placing on the tower and that <br /> this tower will be a monopine tower. Any discussion on that motion? <br /> AU: Yes. <br /> REPLOGLE: Yes, go ahead Mr. Au. <br /> AU: I have a slight discussion that I'd like to talk about. You know lava, lava is a question I had <br /> for Mr. Tomlinson and I'm not sure if I support this motion and the reason why is because one of <br /> the purpose is that the Applicant is pushing this cell tower is for first responders. Okay, what's <br /> the point of having this tower if there is another lava eruption and the tower goes down. It's not <br /> going to help any of the first responders in the area so, that's why I'm not sure if I support this <br /> motion or not. It is Lava Zone One as I explained, and I'd like to hear from Commissioner <br /> Aguinaldo because that his district. So, it's just a comment and again I'm on the fence I don't <br /> know where I'm going to stand on this motion. <br /> CLARKSON: I'd like to add my concern to that, I thought about the same thing when all the <br /> discussion of cracks, and steam vents and I remembered our discussions with other cell <br /> companies that had had towers fall over because of lava from the 2018 eruption. But, on the <br /> other hand I'll say this to Commissioner Au the Lava Zone One is a gigantic area and if we were <br /> to say no telecommunication companies should be allowed to take the risk of erecting their <br /> towers in Lava Zone One that entire area will never get coverage. I mean, it could fall over from <br /> a fissure eruption next month but then again could be a 100 years so, my view what I was <br /> thinking when I heard all of this well, if they want to put it there and take the risk that it's going <br /> to get knocked over by a lava flow that's on them. We'll let it go until that happen. <br /> REPLOGLE: Mr. Raffipiy? <br /> EXHIBIT C <br /> 19 <br />
