GONZALES: Mr. Chair, I have a question. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Commissioner Gonzales. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Whose district is this? Is it you, Mr. Henkel? <br /> <br />HENKEL: Yes. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Can I ask you your feelings on this, opinion, or do we need to get a motion first <br />before we can discuss it? <br /> <br />STEBINS: You should have a motion first. <br /> <br />GONZALES: That being the case, I’d like to put a motion on the floor to approve Use Permit <br />Application No. 13-037, Vista Towers, LLC. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Moved by Commissioner Gonzales. Any second? <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Second. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Seconded by Commissioner Miyasato. Okay, open for discussion. <br /> <br />GONZALES: That being said, what do you think, Mr. Henkel? <br /> <br />HENKEL: I’m all for improving the communications of Lower Puna. But I think there’s so <br />much ag land and unpopulated areas that I don’t really think this is an appropriate place for a <br />tower. Because it’s, I mean you can see by the pictures it’s right in the center of a pretty densely <br />populated area. And, you know, if you look at the maps that Jeffrey had up there sooner, that <br />little subdivision is surrounded by very sparsely populated areas too. So I’m not inclined to <br />support his project. <br /> <br />GONZALES: If I could ask Mr. Darrow, the picture you just had up there before, that one right <br />there. To the bottom right you said that’s a forest reserve? <br /> <br />DARROW: Correct. The white speckled portion of the map on the lower portion is considered <br />forest reserve. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Okay. So it’s actually right up against the forest reserve? <br /> <br />DARROW: Correct. <br /> <br />GONZALES: I mean you couldn’t get much further out of the subdivision. All right, thank you. <br /> <br />PUBLIC: (Inaudible).endangered species. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Okay, any further discussion? Jeff? <br /> <br /> <br /> 9 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
