<br />INABA: Excuse me. May I comment at this point on these Exhibits? <br /> <br />MIYASATO: We’ll let the witness complete her testimony and then you can cross examine. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: Now, the Zoning Code requires certain set—minimum setbacks for these types <br />of towers. I believe according to Section 25-4-12, the minimum setback, is one foot for every <br />five foot of antenna or tower. <br /> <br />MARTIN: Right. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: Does— <br /> <br />MARTIN: That’s right. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: Does the proposed tower comply with this setback rule? <br /> <br />MARTIN: Yes. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: Okay. There may also be concerns about the visual impact of the tower. What <br />can you tell us that Verizon will offer to mitigate any of these concerns. <br /> <br />MARTIN: We have the ability to do stealth towers and that could be a pine tree or a palm tree. <br />We use landscaping. We drove by the property this morning, and just to take a look at it to see <br />how we might be better able to conceal this so that when you’re driving by, truly you can get <br />these to the point where you’re driving by and it’s really hard to see them. I know because I go <br />out and search for towers all the time, and I’ve driven by them plenty of times and not, just not <br />seeing them, so we’re really trying to think of what we could do to mitigate any kind of visual <br />impact for him besides the tower, and I was thinking about, I ask Mr. Inaba if you know what <br />kind of maybe landscaping would he like for mitigation, but when I went by today, I saw the <br />overgrowth there, and I really think the best way to hide this stuff is just to leave the natural <br />growth there. It’s awfully pretty. I don’t know if you’ve seen that—been down that area—but <br />just to leave the natural growth, and I think that it would blend in better. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: I’d like to direct the parties and the Commission to Verizon’s Exhibit D. And <br />also, in conjunction with Mr. Inaba’s Exhibit No. 6. And if I could be clear, it’s the second page <br />to Mr. Inaba’s Exhibit No. 6. Okay, does, Danette does Verizon Exhibit D accurately represent <br />the proposed monopine tower? <br /> <br />MARTIN: Yes, actually it is a—it’s a tower that we installed at the Volcano Golf Course. <br /> <br />NISHIMOTO: And looking at Mr. Inaba’s Exhibit 6, does that fairly depict what the proposed <br />tower will look like and the surrounding area? <br /> <br />16 <br />EXHIBIT F <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
