north -south direction at the left side of the slide, and then we have South Oshiro Road and, excuse me, this is the Eden Roc Subdivision shown here in the light green. You have the Kopua Farm Lots to the east, and Fern Forest to the west. The subject property is located in the northeast corner of the Alapua Street and `Ohi`a Avenue intersection. This is Alapua Street, and `Ohi` a Avenue is on the west side of the property. The zoning for the property in the surrounding subdivision is Agricultural — 1 acre, which is shown in the light green color. The Applicant is requesting a Use Permit to construct a new telecommunication facility consisting of a 167 -foot tall steel monopine with twelve 8 -foot tall panel antennas and related facilities within a 900 -square foot leased area on a 1 -acre parcel. The 900 -square foot leased area will be fenced and used for accessory ground facilities which will include a radio and battery equipment cabinets, an emergency generator, three surge protectors and one GPS antenna on a concrete slab foundation. The proposed project will serve the Eden Roc Estates Subdivision as well as parts of Fern Acres and Fern Forest and Kopua Farm Lots. This is a site plan of the proposed tower. Again, you have `Ohi`a Avenue on the west side of the property; Alapua Street on the south side or makai side. And, this is the property boundary here generally. The proposed tower would be located closest to the intersection on the property. And, these are some elevation plans showing what the proposed tower would look like. They are designing it to look like a pine tree. The General Plan designation for the property is Rural for the entire Eden Roc Subdivision. And, this is an aerial photo of the area. You can see that the property is heavily forested in `ohi`a trees. The property is outlined in red, and the 900 -square foot leased area is outlined in the yellow color. The closest dwelling is located across `Ohi`a Avenue. It's about 150 feet away from the proposed site. And, this is a view of the property from `Ohi`a Avenue — Alapua Street intersection. So, you can see the tower would generally be located in this area here. And, this is a view looking up `Ohi` a Avenue towards the mauka direction. The property is on the right side, and the driveway to the proposed facility would be generally located in this area here. And, then this is a view of the leased area from Alapua Street. Again, it would be in this general area here. The Planning Director is recommending approval of the Use Permit with conditions. And, we have received several communications that I'd like to bring to your attention. With your Background Report, you received a letter of testimony from Theresa Billian. You also should have an email dated June 29th from Julia Puckett, an email dated June 29th from Janice Record, a letter dated June 1st from Marleen Rodrigues-Quiroz, and a Petition for Standing in a Contested Case was received on June 29th from Norine Fitzgerald. You should also have a few emails between me and Verizon and Mr. Nelson Ho of Representative [sic] Jen Ruggles office. And, that concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. EXHIBIT A 2
