These images show AT & T's existing coverage for their network. The left image you can see that there's 4 existing towers in the general lower Puna area and the image on the right shows what coverage would look like if this tower were approved. So, you can see it mostly provides coverage to the Kam5'ili Road area and extends a little bit towards Kalapana, Seaview, and primarily the coverage would be along the Pahoa-Kalapana Road. This is a map showing the alternative sites that the Applicant looked at. There are 2 existing towers shown with the orange triangles. There's a Verizon tower in Leilani Estates and in Nanawale Estates. It's not on this map but there are some towers also in Pahoa those maybe owned by other carriers. For this particular tower site, they looked at 2 other properties one (1)property to the north and 1 property a little bit further down the highway to the south. The Planning Director is recommending approval of this permit with conditions and before I take questions, I want to address one of the issues that came up in the testimony related to Section 106 review for the Historic Preservation Act. The Applicant can go into more detail about how they completed that process but, they did do a 106 review and one of the recommendations that was made by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) was to have an on-site archaeologist monitor any construction activities to ensure that any subsurface resources if they are encountered that they are handled correctly. So, we didn't actually looking through the conditions we didn't actually put that in but that is a condition that could be added if the Commission is open to that to have an archaeologist on-site monitoring construction activities. With that, that concludes my presentation and I'd be happy to answer any questions. CLARKSON: I have a question. REPLOGLE: Yes, Joe? CLARKSON: We recently not recently but sometime ago approved a Verizon tower along the same highway and I'm wondering where that tower would be in relation to this one? JACKSON: Okay, I'm sorry Joe. Did you say the one that was just approved in Hawaiian Paradise Park? CLARKSON: No, no, we approved one just off of Highway 130. JACKSON: Aw, okay. CLARKSON: Not maybe a year or 2 ago and I can't remember I tried to look on online maps there being no comprehensive database of cell phone towers for Hawaii County. All you could do is try and find it. I don't have the old documentation for that application. JACKSON: Okay. CLARKSON: It may have been a year or 2 ago. I should have forewarned you that I was going to wonder about this, but I just hope somebody would remember. EXHIBIT C 5
