<br />There are no statistics to show that the cell tower would be a hazard to our community. They were talking about <br />height and everything, and most all of the houses are in excess of that 150 feet. <br /> <br />The cell tower is not unsightly, nor does block one’s view. And I equate it to telephone or electrical lines blown <br />down the road. You don’t see them after a while unless you’re using them for navigation like Keaau turn-off. <br /> <br />I vote for the cell tower application to be located in Leilani Estates because we need to communicate. Thank <br />you. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you. Any questions? I remember the party lines growing up in Puna. We will go to Greg <br />Armstrong. <br /> <br />ARMSTRONG: Okay, I’m Greg Armstrong. I live at 13-3434 Moku Street in Leilani Estates. I’m a resident <br />and I’m also the treasurer of the Leilani Association. And I’ll just make it brief because basically I’lljust, you <br />know, back up everything everybody else has said. It’s an issue for us for security, for safety. I’m also on the <br />Neighborhood Watch. And if you’re out there and you need help you don’t always have a – I carry my cell <br />phone, my Verizon, and we also have one for the Watch and sometimes neither one of them have service in the <br />area. So we need them. So I think this is very important for the whole area of Leilani, as well as the <br />neighborhood around there. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you. Any questions for the testifier? Seeing none, you gentlemen may have a seat. Thank you. <br />I’ll call for Jay Fischer. I’ll swear you in real quick. Could you raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the <br />truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? <br /> <br />FISCHER: Yes, I do. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay, very good. So you filed standing for a contested case, correct? <br /> <br />FISCHER: Yes, I did. <br /> <br />KERN: And you aware what that means? <br /> <br />FISCHER: Yes, I am. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay. And so you’re going to have a different, if this is, if it does get granted to you, standing is <br />granted, you have a different opportunity to testify and kind of cross-examine people, gives you some different <br />rights. You’re aware of that, right? <br /> <br />FISCHER: Yes, I am. <br /> <br />KERN: And you want that? <br /> <br />FISCHER: Yes, I am. <br /> <br />MECKLENBURG: So at this point you’re just giving testimony as a member of the public? Is that your intent <br />right now? <br /> <br />FISCHER: Yes. <br /> <br />10 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
