<br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />COUNTY OF HAWAI‘I <br />HEARING TRANSCRIPT <br />MARCH 20, 2009 <br />T-MOBILE WEST CORPORATION <br />A regularly advertised hearing on the application of <br />(USE 08-14) <br /> was called to order at 3:03 p.m. in the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Hotel, Ali‘i III <br />Room, 69-275 Waikoloa Drive, Waikoloa, Hawai‘i, with Vice Chair Rell Woodward presiding. <br />PRESENT: Rell Woodward ABSENT & EXCUSED: Andrew Iwashita <br /> Lani Bowman <br /> Takashi Domingo <br /> Frederic Housel <br /> Shelly Ogata <br /> Rodney Watanabe <br /> <br />Brandon Gonzalez, Deputy Corporation Counsel <br />AIKdhsgd`cSncc+Ok`mmhmfChqdbsnq <br />Norman Hayashi, Planning Program Manager <br />Jeff Darrow, Staff Planner <br />Maija Cottle, Staff Planner <br />And nine people from the public in attendance <br />APPLICANT: T-MOBILE WEST CORPORATION (USE 08-14) <br />Action on an application for a Use Permit to allow the construction of a 150-foot monopole <br />telecommunication tower and associated equipment on approximately 900 square feet of land <br />situated within the Single-Family Residential 20,000 square feet (RS-20) zoned district. The <br />property is the site of the Kurtistown Assembly of God Church, which is located on the mauka <br />(northeast) side of Highway 11 directly across the Highway 11- Kuauli Road Junction, <br />Kurtistown, Puna, Hawai‘i, TMK: 1-7-6: portion of 31. <br />WOODWARD: It is three o’clock, so we can go on to the next and final item, which is an <br />added agenda item, the continuing, continuing, continuing item. The applicant is T-Mobile West <br />Corporation, an application for a Use Permit to allow the construction of a 150-foot monopole <br />telecommunication tower and associated equipment on approximately 900 square feet of land. <br />The property is on the site of the Kurtistown Assembly of God Church – and I facetiously asked <br />them if they were trying to get better communication with God, but that was just my thing. <br />Anyway, this is I think the third, or at least the third time we’ve heard this. Let me explain to <br />you. This is a little bit different. This is a Use Permit. It takes five votes to decide it one way or <br />the other. We’ve had no decision the last times that we voted on this. If it comes to no decision <br />today, then it is de facto approved. Okay? So if there are not five votes one way or the other, <br />according to Statute, this Use Permit will be approved. So, I just want you to be aware of that. <br />Okay, Jeff, or whoever, you are on. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />1 <br /> <br />
