DOMINGO: Okay, thank you. <br />ONO: I’m kind of -. <br />KERN: One second, please, Commissioner Ono. Did you want to give a presentation first, and <br />then have us ask questions, or you’re just ready for questions? <br />YOUNG: I could just answer questions. That’s fine. <br />KERN: Commissioner Ono? <br />ONO:Yes. I’m sorry, I can’t imagine nine 6-foot panels. It’s, to me, a panel covers, it’s not <br />like the old fashion antennas with just spikes sticking out. It’s a panel-sized thing covering an <br />entire 6 by whatever? <br />YOUNG: The approximate dimensions can vary. But if you were to think of something like a <br />speaker, it would be probably about a foot in diameter at most, not diameter, but in width; and <br />maybe six feet long, and maybe three or four inches thick. <br />ONO: So, okay, according to the application there are going to be nine of these? <br />YOUNG: Right. <br />ONO: Thank you. <br />KERN: Commissioner Domingo. <br />DOMINGO: Those ironwood trees, would you folks be trimming that or just leave it as is? <br />YOUNG: There’s no plan to trim the trees. It’s used for shielding. But there have been <br />occasions when HECO has trimmed it because their existing powerlines run across the gulch <br />there. <br />DOMINGO: I travelled there this morning. I was looking for the antenna, I could hardly see it. <br />As I drove right at the base of the site I couldn’t see it. The only time I could see it was when I <br />was across the other side of the gulch looking towards this site; and even that wasn’t as clear as <br />possible. It is good. <br />YOUNG: Could I add something to that? <br />KERN:Sure. <br />YOUNG: Prior to the, the prior application, I was involved in that one as well for Nextel <br />Partners. And they required us, at that time, to erect assimilation. So we put up an actual pole, a <br />PVC pipe, a very large one, on top of a cherry picker, with antennas on it. And we left it there <br />for a week so that we could get comments from the community. And that was prior to the <br />meeting with the North Hilo Community Association, and there was no comment. So they had <br />seen it for, I think, a couple of weeks. <br />KERN: Okay, very good. Did you receive the Planning Department’s background report and <br />their recommendation? <br />YOUNG: Yes. <br />4 <br />EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
