residential neighborhood and provide coverage on Daniel K Inouye Highway as far <br /> mauka as possible. This facility also will provide E911 services in areas that currently <br /> have little or no coverage. <br /> 3. Co-location: The monopole tower will be designed to accommodate the co-location of <br /> up to four(4)telecommunication carriers. According to the applicant, in addition to <br /> AT&T (anchor tenant), Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile have expressed interest in co- <br /> locating in the future. Further, there are no existing telecommunication facilities available <br /> for co-location in the area of the proposed facility. <br /> 4. Alternative Sites Considered: On July 7, 2016, the Planning Commission approved Use <br /> Permit Application No. 16-000063 for applicant Verizon Wireless to construct a new <br /> telecommunication tower on TMK (3) 2-5-002:005, which is approximately 1.2 miles <br /> west of the subject property off Daniel K. Inouye Highway. However, according to <br /> Verizon Wireless, due to the prohibitive estimated cost of$1 million to bring electricity <br /> to the site,they are no longer interested in constructing the new tower. By letter dated <br /> July 18, 2022, the Planning Director requested an update on the Status of the above- <br /> mentioned Use Permit and the applicant emailed a response on the same day. (Planning <br /> Department Exhibit 1 —Planning Department Request for Status Update on Use <br /> Permit No. 16-000063 by letter dated July 18,2022 and Applicant's response by <br /> email dated July 18,2022). <br /> 5. Tower Height Justification: According to the applicant, the proposed 180-foot tower <br /> height is necessary to overcome topography and tall trees to ensure the proper siting of <br /> antennas on the tower to provide needed line-of-sight to extend service to the surrounding <br /> area and as far mauka along Daniel K. Inouye Highway (Saddle Road) as possible. If the <br /> tower's height were reduced, it would reduce the coverage footprint of AT&T and the <br /> other carriers who would eventually co-locate on the tower. <br /> 6. Supportive Information: The applicant has submitted the attached in support of the <br /> request: (Planning Department Exhibit 2—Use Permit Application dated June 23, <br /> 2022.) <br /> 7.
