proposed Verizon site, virtually no traffic is generated by the operation of the antenna site, as it is a low-maintenance facility that is not continuously staffed. Except for maintenance and repair, the site is self-operating. Verizon Wireless technicians periodically monitor the transceiver radios, antennas and its appurtenant equipment. There are no long-term traffic impacts resulting from this Project. The tower will meet County's 100 mph wind load requirement and adhere to all FAA and FCC regulations. Due to the short height and distance from any airport, lighting of the pole is not required. SECTION 5—ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED FOR TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER APPLICATIONS In accordance with the County of Hawai'i Planning Commission, additional criteria and documentation must be addressed in the establishment of a telecommunication tower. 1. Schematic Plan for Tower Development and Subject Site's Role in Overall Plan Schematic Plan for Tower Development on the Big Island: Currently Verizon owns and operates more than 75 communication tower throughout the County of Hawai'i. As a leader in Hawai'i's telecommunication industry, Verizon Wireless has an ongoing goal of providing a high level of service to all of our communities including those in medium-traffic urban areas in Hawai'i County. In order to continue to meet the ever growing demands of the public as well as the private and government sectors, it is often necessary to locate antenna facilities on residential designated areas. Please see Exhibit E for propagation maps prepared by Verizon. Subject Site's Role in Overall Plan: The object of this site is to provide the infrastructure necessary for wireless coverage to the school, nearby churches, and surrounding neighborhoods, as well as travelers along Paniolo Avenue. Currently there is spotty coverage along Paniolo Avenue Road. The installation of this proposed new facility will allow for Verizon Wireless services as well as the co-location of up to one (1) more additional wireless service provider. The facility will hand off wireless signals to existing facilities at the southern end of Waikoloa Village and Huehue Ranch. 2. Building Plans: All plans and specifications have been produced by state licensed engineers at M.Squared Engineers. Structural Calculations and certificate of wind resistance for the proposed monopalm will be submitted along with applications for Plan Approval if our Use Permit is approved. All Federal, State, and County regulations will be complied with in the design, construction and operation of the proposed tower. Please see Exhibit D for the site plan. 3. Design Plan: 5
