In the Commercial and those other areas, basically a plan is submitted to the Department and the <br />Director reviews and signs off on it. It’s not a, it’s a real administrative process. And so I guess <br />my reading of this is that’s how it’s done, you know, for the antennas that we see down in <br />Keaukaha on the buildings and so forth. Those are basically just signed off administratively. <br />We never saw anything on that. And I guess to me that’s a reasonable way to go about it. I <br />guess right now that’s how it works, right? <br />METTLER: That’s right. <br />IWASHITA: And so it works okay, right, that way? <br />METTLER: That’s right. <br />IWASHITA: Yeah. So we’re not changing that. All we’re saying is that in Ag because <br />the State law now allows antennas on State Ag property, right, that we needed to add -. Unlike <br />Maui, I guess my impression is Maui and Oahu had already a permitting process for Ag and we <br />don’t have one for ours. Ours was done by a special permit, special use permit. So all we’re <br />doing is conforming to what Oahu and Maui has. So as long as Oahu and Maui is working okay <br />for you guys, basically all we’re doing is changing it to conform to that. <br />WOODWARD: It may be worthwhile to consider adding a sentence such as “Co-location <br />of an antenna on existing tower or structure is exempt from the use permit,” if that’s acceptable <br />for the Director. <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Well, I was going to suggest some language that perhaps at the end of this <br />paragraph that says “Where there is an existing telecommunication tower, co-location of <br />additional antenna or equipment will be permitted provided the Director has issued plan approval <br />for such use.” <br />METTLER: So would that just be for towers or any existing structure? <br />LEITHEAD-TODD: Well, it’s intended for co-location as opposed to an existing structure. <br />METTLER: It says” tower” though, mine says -. <br />LEITHEAD-TODD: Yeah, but it’s an existing telecommunications tower for co-location. And <br />the co-location means that there’s something there already, not that you’re introducing a <br />telecommunications antenna on something that doesn’t currently have something. <br />METTLER: Is there a definition somewhere about what a tower means in -? <br />LEITHEAD-TODD: There is in the early part of the Zoning Code. <br />METTLER: So that would need to be amended as well, right? <br />IWASHITA: Mr. -? <br />5 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
