DOMINGO: What does an antenna -? <br />YUEN: What that means is that you, say there’s a telephone pole, or a <br />barn, or another legal structure in the State Land Use Agricultural district. The antenna <br />itself is a little thing that sticks up. Say a cell phone antenna, it’s not a very big structure. <br />That is now allowed, you don’t need a Special Permit for the antenna. But if you’re <br />going to build a tower, you still need a Special Permit. <br />DOMINGO: You know, my concern here is that, you know, like for instance <br />might be the antenna or for windmill, there may be adverse impacts or, you know, it <br />might be aesthetically not blending in with the surrounding environment. And those have <br />been some of the issues expressed in the past. So what I’m concerned is that, you know, <br />if a hearing procedure is established then the people can respond to it and the <br />Commission can make their decision accordingly. And I think the public should have the <br />ability to respond to those things. <br />WOODWARD: They had it, they’re just not here. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you, Commissioner Domingo. Commissioner Woodward’s <br />comment -. <br />WOODWARD: One other comment. <br />GRAHAM: Go ahead, Commissioner Woodward. <br />WOODWARD: You could put your antenna on top of the windmill and that would <br />be no problem. <br />GRAHAM: Okay. <br />YUEN: But just so we’re really clear here, what’s being proposed in this is <br />a Use Permit. So there would be an application that comes to the Panning Commission <br />and public notice. That’s for a wind turbine that’s in State Land Use Ag and County <br />Open zone. <br />GRAHAM: Okay. I think we have all the parameters. We don’t have any <br />public here. Commissioner Alameda, did you have something further? <br />ALAMEDA: Sure, thanks. I just wanted to add my comments. I like the fact <br />that it’s still, gets to go through Special Permit because of the visual impacts, the noise, <br />the birds, right? So we still have a chance to say this is okay, this is the right place. So I <br />think it’s a good legislation. I’ll vote for it, but got to wait. <br />GRAHAM: All right, thank you, Commissioner Alameda. Any further <br />comments from the Commission before we sort of adjourn this agenda item until our next <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />5 <br /> <br />
