Other questions: <br /> 5G: <br /> Is this tower intended to be 5G,now or in the future?What is the County's stance on this? <br /> Coverage maps: <br /> We are lay people- so forgive our ignorance here but the maps are hard to decipher.Are the <br /> commissioners able to view the provided coverage maps and determine that the proposed tower would <br /> provide more than a nominal increase in range and service that it warrants placing it in this location? <br /> Monopole: <br /> Other than the simulation photos that show the monopole in the distance, can the applicant provide a clear <br /> photo of what a monopole looks like with four carriers'equipment installed on it? <br /> Microwave dish: <br /> The application states this tower might need a microwave dish installed on it if there is no fiber optic <br /> available to the site.Where on the tower would this be located?How does that impact the look of the <br /> monopole? <br /> Road-in-limbo: <br /> Donahue Road is a road-in-limbo. In the event that the construction of this tower negatively impacts the <br /> road,who will repair it? It is a public road that neither the State nor the County maintains.Are there other <br /> utilities on the Big Island on such roads? <br /> We realize the hearing is tomorrow,but we wanted to thoroughly read all the background information <br /> before submitting our testimony. <br /> Like everyone else,we view cellular service and internet access as a key utility.We also believe that <br /> thoughtful, long-term planning is key to preserving the look and feel of our community. Thank you for <br /> considering our concerns and the impact of such intensive utility projects on the character of Kona's <br /> neighborhoods.We ask that the Leeward Planning Commission refrain from approving this application. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Emily and Gary(Joe)Pries <br />
