Petition for Standing in a Contested Case Hearing <br /> Permit PL-USE-2023-0000020 <br /> Myself, Colleen Conifer, and our Paradise Ohana reside within less than 400 <br /> meters from the proposed cell phone tower. Close proximity to the proposed <br /> tower is what brings us to this meeting of the County Planning Commission and <br /> distinguishes our interests from that of the general public. We were notified by <br /> letter of the proposed tower in accordance with regulations promulgated by the <br /> Hawaii County Planning Dept. recognizing our standing as concerned residents <br /> of the Hawaiian Ocean View community. <br /> HOV, Hawaiian Ocean View community, is a major consideration in our <br /> opposition as our neighborhood is a high use area by our community for the <br /> following: <br /> A. Recreation and vital social community activities <br /> 1 . Kahuku Park is located across the street from the proposed site. <br /> The newly renovated park is a high use area for families, and its recent <br /> upgrade has attracted even more users. It includes highly used basketball <br /> and pickleball courts, a playground for pre-school and elementary school <br /> age children in the neighborhood, a community gathering space used by <br /> church groups and serves as a weekly food distribution center for dozens <br /> of local residents. <br /> Several events occur throughout the year serving children and adults at <br /> the park. <br /> Lastly, the newly renovated baseball field provides access to neighborhood <br /> youth and regular games with other local teams with support from local <br /> families/friends attending. <br />
