<br />From:Seth McDonough <br />To:LPCtestimony <br />Subject:Leeward Planning Commission meeting <br />Date:Sunday, September 15, 2024 10:44:39 AM <br />Aloha, <br />I am writing to oppose meeting item #4. <br />I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194. <br />The new ordinance proposed by the Planning Director does not protect our community. <br />The Director's proposal is wrong for Hawaii because: <br />It gives almost total power to Planning and Telecom with no other agencies or experts involved. <br />It only allows for a 30 day approval process. <br />It has no provisions to protect us against 5G small cell towers. <br />It freely allows towers at schools, playgrounds and day care centers, endangering our keiki. <br />Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, attainable <br />requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and welfare of the people and <br />the needs of the tech industry. <br />Mahalo. <br />Seth McDonough <br />
