HENKEL: Yeah, hopefully, the Verizon engineers will explain it, but I suspect it's because the
<br />guyed towers have a larger footprint, so, therefore, more of a setback.
<br />CLARKSON: Any further questions from [sic] staff? If not, at this time, would the Applicant,
<br />please come forward? Would you raise your right hand, please? Do you swear or affirm to tell
<br />the truth before these matters before the Commission?
<br />SUNG: I do.
<br />CLARKSON: Thank you. Would you please state your name and where you live?
<br />SUNG: Sure. My name is Steve Sung. I'm from Oahu or—from Oahu, and good morning
<br />Chair, Commissioners, and Planning staff Am I answering questions or just?
<br />CLARKSON: You can make a presentation or just answer questions. Whatever you prefer.
<br />SUNG: Well, I agree with everything Maija has presented, so I can answer any questions that
<br />you might have.
<br />CLARKSON: Well, maybe you could follow up on my question about setbacks. What you
<br />might think the reason would be for a reduced setback for a monopole tower versus a guyed
<br />tower.
<br />SUNG: Well, obviously, I'm in the same situation. I wasn't the person who wrote the Code, but
<br />in the mainland and in other areas where when you have guy -wires, I guess, they take into
<br />consideration of the, basically the guy, and Maija's right. Some of the poles that we use,
<br />monopoles, there basically is a—they do fall straight down. So, it's not like they fall straight -
<br />ward, so it depends on the pole that you use. But, at the same time, guy -wires, when, the reason
<br />why you're using guyed is because the tower was not supportive and that's why you add the guy -
<br />wire, and that's why the footprint is larger. And, I believe that's probably the reason why. One
<br />foot for every foot of tower when you use a guy -wire.
<br />CLARKSON: Okay, thank you. Any other questions?
<br />MIYASATO: Just have you had a chance to review the conditions?
<br />SUNG: Yes. Yes, I have, and Verizon will adhere to them, yes.
<br />MIYASATO: Okay, thank you.
<br />IKEDA: Question. Why was that particular site chosen? You know, like right further I guess
<br />you would say east of the property there were a lot of 20 -acre parcels. Why did you choose a
<br />one -acre parcel?
<br />SUNG: So, when someone like me, when we get a search ring, basically a certain area, I, you
<br />know, basically I would go see the owners of the property. So, you know, first of all, I have to,
