color, and the practice of collocation as opposed to adding more towers, the proposed antenna seemed <br />to reasonably accommodate the goals of the Master Plan. <br />The applicant, Danette Martin, introduced herself as a consultant for Verizon Wireless, and gave <br />additional background information. In response to the Commissioners’ inquiries about disguising <br />towers, she said that an existing tower that resembled a palm tree behind Kaiser Clinic had been <br />designed according to recommendation of the Kailua Village Design Commission at that time, and <br />that the Fiberglas material could camouflage a tower in a variety of designs, such as trees, rocks, <br />church steeples, chimneys, etc. <br />It was moved by Commissioner Herbert, and seconded by Commissioner Hetherington, to <br />recommend the Planning Director’s approval of the proposed project as submitted. A roll call vote <br />was taken and the motion carried with five ayes (Herbert, Hetherington, Au Hoy, Dunlap and <br />Kitchens), and four absent and excused (Burns, Power, Saito and Stanbro). <br />Mr. Mark said that since the current Master Plan did not address telecommunication facilities, the <br />Commission could advise the Planning Director on possible revisions, if they had any <br />recommendations in that regard. Ms. Martin commented that she would be interested in being part of <br />such discussion. <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Mr. Mark informed the Commission that Commissioner Power had turned in his resignation for <br />personal reasons. He said that with Commissioner Dunlap’s departure and Commissioners Herbert <br />and Saito’s terms ending as of December 31, the Commission would have four seats to fill, and asked <br />for the Commissioners’ cooperation to recruit qualified volunteers. The Chair expressed his <br />commitment to serving on the Commission, saying that the current group was very focused and <br />moving in the right direction, and that he wanted to keep the momentum going. <br />The Commission meeting schedule for next year was distributed. <br />Mr. Childs announced that the next scheduled meeting on December 6, 2011, was cancelled since no <br />applications had come in by the deadline. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business, at 6:05 p.m., it was moved by Commissioner Hetherington and <br />seconded by Commissioner Herbert that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was unanimously <br />carried by a voice vote of all Commissioners in attendance. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br />A T T E S T: Noriko Sauer, Secretary <br />Shane Kitchens, Chair <br />Kailua Village Design Commission <br />2 <br />
