HENKEL: Okay, we'll start with the right side of the table. Please state your names, speak into
<br />the microphone, and give a brief summary.
<br />SCHISZLER: Okay, why I don't, why I'm against?
<br />HENKEL: Yes.
<br />SCHISZLER: Okay. My name is Crystal Schiszler, and I live with my mom, Theresa Billian, in
<br />Eden Roc, and we're on 17th Street.
<br />BILLIAN: Sixteen.
<br />SCHISZLER: Sixteen, and, yeah, I'm against the proposed phone antenna I guess, or whatever
<br />it's called, due to the fact that there's small children who play around, live right across from it,
<br />and they play right around the proposed site, like plenty, like maybe five kids I see out there at
<br />one time. And, this proposed antenna is a health hazard. I mean, it's widely known. I don't
<br />have any, you know, evidence to support that, but it's widely known to be a health hazard.
<br />That's why it used to be fenced `cause I heard if you get too close to it, you can actually harm
<br />small animals so I don't know if that's exactly true. I know it's a known health hazard so I'm
<br />completely against it and also `cause my mom lives right there a couple lots away, and she
<br />already is disabled, and I just don't think it's fair that these homeown—these property owners
<br />are rent, renting out their land, and they don't actually live there for, so they can make money
<br />while other homeowners around have to suffer. So, I just don't think that's right. I think this
<br />antenna should be somewhere where it's not such a residential area. It's very inappropriate.
<br />There's no antennas such as this in Paradise Park where I also live. I think it's just very
<br />inappropriate. Should be on the highway or somewhere where no one's around. That's pretty
<br />much it. Thank you.
<br />HENKEL: Thank you. And, you must be Julia?
<br />PUCKETT: Yeah, I am, yeah.
<br />HENKEL: Okay, please state your name and where you reside and proceed.
<br />PUCKETT: I'm Julia Puckett. I live in Eden Roc. The thing is, is that, I don't think enough
<br />research has been done. We have an endangered Hoary bat and endangered yellow -faced bee,
<br />okay? These are animals that they get around via sonar radar, radio frequencies. Now, we
<br />already have a tower over in Fern Forest exactly a monopole which is almost parallel to where
<br />they want to put up this one. Okay, the thing is that if we put up the monopole right there, it's
<br />overkill. It's redundant. Okay. Why are we putting these endangered animals at higher risk of
<br />colony collapses. And, the bats, you know, homing devices, you know, they're talking about,
<br />worried about their mating things, but they're not worried about their actual how they get
<br />around. How they live is via the frequencies. And, the more and more these towers are going
<br />up, the more and more colony collapses we're having of all sorts, of honey bees and everything,
<br />and that affects our food and our livelihood, and all I'm asking is like for one area of this island
