The subject properties are located off of Kupuno Avenue. All of Leilani Estates is zoned Agricultural – 1 acre which is shown in the light green. The General Plan designation for the property is Rural, that’s Rural for the entire Leilani Estates Subdivision. This is the State Land Use District Map for the area, and you can see again the entire Leilani Estates Subdivision is in the State Agricultural District. Use Permit 11-028 was approved--it was issued to Verizon Wireless in 2011 to allow the construction of a 154-foot tall telecommunication monopole and related ground equipment on approximately 750 square feet of leased area. The property is owned by the Leilani Estates Community Association. It’s a very—it’s made up of one acre lots but they own, I think, at least ten adjacent lots in this area. And the monopole was designed to allow co-location of up to three additional carriers. The applicant, AT&T Mobility, is now coming in and requesting an amendment to the permit in order to expand the permit area from 750 square feet to 1,500 square feet of lease area, and in order to co-locate their antennas and ground equipment on the site. This is a site plan of the properties. You have Kupono Street on the right side of the slide, and there is a driveway. It’s a dirt or gravel driveway that comes off of Kupono Street in this area here, and it runs parallel to Kupuno Street and then it jogs to the west to the lease area. You can see the existing monopole right where the red dot is here on the slide, and Verizon has a lease area surrounding the monopole that’s 750 square feet in size. AT&T is requesting a lease area adjacent to that just to the west. This is a view of the proposed tower from Kupuno Street. Again, you can see the ground equipment surrounded by a six-foot high chainlink fence. And then the antennas that AT&T is proposing to place on the tower. That would be placed at approximately the 112-foot height of the tower. These are photos of the property. This is on Kupuno Street looking towards Leilani Avenue. The property is on the right side. And you can see—it’s a little bit dark—but you can see the driveway in this area here, and then the access driveway loops, runs parallel to Kupono, and then loops around. This is a view looking at the existing tower. You can see the ground equipment enclosure in this area here. And then this is a view of the tower from the top of the driveway, so the proposed antennas would be added generally at this height of the tower, and then the ground equipment that AT&T would be adding would be just to the right side of the slide. The Planning Director is recommending approval of this amendment request. Are there any questions? ONO: It appears that the area seems well manicured— COTTLE: Yes— 2 EXHIBIT B
