didn't have knowledge on the seriousness of this thing until I went and researched on my own.
<br />And, who'd want that?
<br />C. DEAGUTAR: Yeah, and in addition to my wife's comments, it's a 155 behemoth of a thing
<br />less than 70 feet away from my house. It's thisI'm opposed to it.
<br />M. YOUNGS: I'll be fast. From the beginning, as far as a, being a professional communication,
<br />letting us know on this whole cell form, you know, cell tower from Verizon, Ms. Martin, we
<br />have not received any communication. I had to go forward and find this information. We asked
<br />for a—there was a continuance. I wouldn't even known if Ms. Watanabe never, you know,
<br />emailed us or let us know. They didn't know ahead of time and so as far as information, I feel
<br />like this is just being pushed to just happen fast. And, if you look at the location, there's three
<br />houses right around this thing. And, the park that they're proposing on 25th? It's huge. It's like
<br />three different lots.
<br />C. DEAGUTAR: No, it's 20 acres
<br />L. DEAGUTAR: Twenty acres.
<br />M. YOUNGS: Twenty acres. But, that's what I don't understand. If you look in the picture,
<br />you see a tower with three adjacent houses right next to each other. That location doesn't make
<br />any sense and as far as property value, we know already we will lose. And, we cannot bring up
<br />the health issue. We cannot bring up any safety issues because it's already preapproved from
<br />Harvard or whoever else, but we don't know how far, those studies, ago, and all the research that
<br />I found was outdated. You know, all this research is done from before. All the new research that
<br />we found, you know, there's hard—yeah, very few to none. That's all I have to say.
<br />L. YOUNGS: Yeah, my name is Lyan, and just to elaborate on my husband, what he was
<br />saying, you know, when we researched, we couldn't find anything. There's really little
<br />government -funded research to tell us the safety risk and the health hazards. I mean, there is
<br />some stories from victims who live next to cell towers who have symptoms like headaches,
<br />nausea, sensitivity to electronic devices, and we're just worried because we have two little
<br />children who are three and two years old. Our neighbors also have kids. Like they're super
<br />susceptible to like stuff like this so, we oppose the tower being built, and we hope that you folks
<br />can take into consideration how we feel as neighbors. Thank you.
<br />CLARKSON: Thank you. Any questions from the Commission for these testifiers? If not,
<br />thank you, you may be seated. So, the next four testifiers is Patty Egan, Barry Henry, Hope
<br />Henry, and Utae Suzuki. Please raise your right hands. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth

<br />yourself, where you live, and then proceed with your testimony.
