WRITTEN STATEMENT 1. DETAILED WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED USE,A STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND REASONS FOR THE REQUEST,INCLUDING HOURS OF OPERATION AND NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES/CLIENTELE. The Applicant proposes an unoccupied Multi-Carrier Telecommunication Facility on this 44,214 s.f of land at 92-8267 Paradise Circle Makai, Ocean View.Hawaii,TMK(3) 9-2-101-071 in the County-7s Agriculture 1-acre zone district("the Facility"). The proposed Facility is 36'x 66' or 2,244 s.f with an access road 10-wide and approximately 275 s.f. The proposed will occupy a total of 2.514 s.f. The remaining part of the proper y will be left vacant with its current landscape to mitigate any aesthetic concerns. It is possible that a future agricultural tenant could occupy the remaining property in the future_although that is not the objective at this time. The objective is to improve the existing cell phone coverage surrounding the tower location,along Hawaii Belt Road.and south to Hawaiian Ranchos Subdivision. The I-1awair County's zoning code permits telecommunications in the A-zoned district if a Use Permit is obtained for such use. The Applicant proposes the use of a 150' monopole painted to blend with the surrounding area. The Applicant is proposing to paint the monopole instead of offering a monopine or other stealth structure. The monopole will offer a smaller silhouette than a stealth alternative and have the least visual impact on the area. Of note_the National Forest Service has recently revised their preference to monopole due to the ability blend into the surrounding area when painted and eliminating the shedding from faux pine tree branches and the resulting debris. The current cell phone coverage is being provided by a 100'three-legged tower near the corner of Palm Parkway and Reef Parkway and is almost 3 miles southwest of die proposed tower. It should be noted that neither a tree pole nor a monopole was not required for the 100' recently approved and constructed three-legged tower at Palm and Reef. The proposod tower will provide coverage for the southeast portion of Hawaiian Ocean View Estates (--HOVE")and Hawaiian Ranchos(-RANCHOS") Subdivision. 31 rage
