SUNG: Good morning. BEAUDET: Good morning. If you could just please raise your right hand. Do you swear now and before the Leeward Planning Commission to tell the truth? SUNG: Yes, I do. BEAUDET: Thank you. If you could introduce yourself. Speak into the mike. SUNG: Yes. My name is Steve Sung with Wireless Resources. We are agent for Verizon Wireless. BEAUDET: Thank you. SUNG: Thank you. BEAUDET: So I’m assuming that you’ve gone through the conditions on the recommendation. And if there is any discussion or concerns with any of the conditions, now is your time to discuss that. SUNG: Yes, we would, we would pretty much adhere to all the conditions as required for this Use Permit application. BEAUDET: Okay, thank you. If you’d like to proceed with a presentation or some discussion, please go ahead. SUNG: So in general I think Christian has done a, pretty much made a presentation for me. But the reason for this particular request, we’ve been having a lot of complaints in the Honalo areas as well as, you know, having the traffic on Māmalahoa Highway, that we are getting a lot of drop calls, and that’s the reason for this particular application. We, now, because you have more data usage, especially people using, you know, Facebook, you know, all this social media thing, that one download equals somewhat like maybe eight to ten phone calls. So the need is there and that’s, you know, the number one reason that we want to make sure we have the coverage and capacity around the Honalo area. BEAUDET: Thank you. SUNG: Thank you. BEAUDET: Commissioners, any questions of the applicant or discussion? Okay. With that, thank you. SUNG: Thank you, sir. BEAUDET: Staff, have we got anyone from the community to testify? Okay. Being that there is no one in the audience who wishes to testify, for the record I’d like to close the public testimony 3 EXHIBIT A
