WATANABE: Jeff also wanted me to remind you that in Exhibit 11 it shows a letter that the presentation was made back in 2015, before the Hawaiian Paradise Park Association. They had not commented on this particular application though. MARTIN: Did you receive that letter? WATANABE: It was part of your application. We included it as an exhibit. MARTIN: Oh, okay. RAFFIPIY: I have a question, Mr. Chairman. If you relocate that pole to one of these parks, how many customers you gonna lose and how many customers you gonna gain? What is the net gain or net loss if you relocate to one of these? MARTIN: Well actually, it's—it's either we cover the whole neighborhood or we cover, you know, I think we're moving it four streets so there would be like four streets in the middle. So figure four streets. We got Railroad—so somewhere around 16th Avenue, that area, and then four streets past that would probably have poor coverage. RAFFIPIY: So how many household, Ma'am, will you be losing or gaining. I'm kind of interested to know what would be the net loss or net gain as far as households in that area. MARTIN: You know, I don't know because I don't know if all of these are Verizon customers, and I don't know how many homes are built, and there's just a lot of things I don't know. RAFFIPIY: So, that's why it's just area coverage is the one that you're talking about. MARTIN: It's just, yeah right. RAFFIPIY: Thank you, Ma'am. MARTIN: I also wanted to explain to you why we came to this. I know that Lauri DeAguiar had explained that she had talked to me. I gave you a letter and the reason why it was placed so close to their property is because they asked me to put it there. They asked me to put it there. We discussed giving them money to use their driveway for an easement access. They wanted it there because of security. They wanted it because of security, so I attached, for your information, the drawings that were provided to the DeAguiar's back in 2015 which shows the driveway, their driveway being used as the easement access. I've also given you the letter where I sent the easement document to them along with the subordination agreement. They decided not to sign that easement access and so we re -planned and brought the driveway in on 21st Street, but we planned it there and they did have knowledge about it and there was no talk of a 20 -foot cell tower. I would've never said that because I know, I've been doing this for 20 years now and I know that we have to be above the tree line. CLARKSON: Okay, thank you. Does any commissioner have any questions for any of the testifiers? Last chance. EXHIBIT B 17
