Item #4 WPC 6/4/20
Testimony E. Ellwood, K. Tejada, Unknown
OPPOSE AT&T's MONOPOLE PERMIT REQUEST
RE: TMK: (3) 1-7-031:031), (AT&T Mobility— New Telecommunications Facility)
JUNE 4, 2020 HEARING
Opposition Testimony Submitted by:
Edelyn Cobile Ellwood
PO Box 57
Keaau, HI 96749
1. I OPPOSE. I oppose the approval of this permit and I'm asking the Hawaii County
Planning Department to once again REJECT this permit application. I am a long-time
PROPERTY OWNER/RESIDENT living near the proposed monopole site.
Attached is a petition with signatures asking the Hawaii County Planning
Commision to REJECT the permit. Signatures are from property owners, residents
and many concerned citizens. We are all tired of this type of disregard for
established communities and for human life. We matter!
2. AESTHETICS/SOUND ANNOYANCE. The applicant is asking for a VARIANCE to the
zoning code and to our way of life in this neighborhood.
Cell towers/monopoles/facilities are AESTHETICALLY UGLY/UNAPPEALING and we
don't want to see them or hear the constant humming sounds from our homes.
The ones in Keaau near Foodland and near Life Care Center in Hilo are disguised to
look like trees and are still poorly designed. Sounds have been heard being emitted
by them. Currently, voices travel throughout the camp although the person(s)
talking is not next door.
The proposed 180-foot structure (18 stories tall) will be seen from all areas of all
nearby communities and from all roads. This will NOT blend in with the natural
landscape of our long-established, quiet neighborhood- - historically a sugar
plantation where today's residents still plant fruit, flowers and raise livestock. This
1
area is zoned for agricultural and we live in a farming community life-style and like
to keep it that way. We understand that once a pole is installed, the cell service
provider can add another 20 feet without community consent. We do not want to
see or hear a 200-foot atrocity as we are outside working on our land.
3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. Was there an environmental impact statement done as
part of the permit request?A facility management plan? Would there be an alarm
system that goes off when the pole's radio frequency (RF) readings are
dangerously high? Who monitors those readings and is this done 24/7? We would
want to know what we're being exposed to and how frequently.
Can the applicant guarantee that these monopoles cause ZERO harm to people's
health and to nature (birds, bees, owls, fruit trees, etc.)? We do not want to be
exposed to any radiation and don't want our immediate environment to suffer
long-term effects.
4. LESS INTRUSIVE LOCATION. Applicant should FIND ANOTHER SITE that is less
intrusive and where residents aren't opposed this project. There may be areas that
are truly in need of better service and where there is real evidence of significant
service gaps.
What evidence was submitted to the Planning Department/all necessary parties to
show that AT&T made a good faith effort to identify and evaluate less intrusive
options?
Why with 4,000 miles of land and with only less than 185,000 residents on this
island, would the applicant not be able to find another less intrusive site? It's a BIG
island!
If this location is for the applicant's convenience, this is not our responsibility. A
project like this should not be built at our expense.
One of our property owners is a licensed real estate broker and can present a list
of less intrusive location options. The neighborhood across the site between our
neighborhood and Kamehameha School's campus is Keaau Ag Lots. They opposed
a monopole proposal there too and for good reason.
2
Why is it that for commercial zoning, a new building's height is limited to 45 feet in
the Residential Commercial Mix (RCX) districts but the board would consider
listening to an applicant's request for a 180-foot structure near our homes, schools
and churches? The proposed site of this structure has cattle and a house on it
already.
Wouldn't a different location just be the best solution and one that considers the
betterment and safety of all concerned residents?
We demand that the applicant/AT&T be a good community partner.
5. NO SERVICE GAP. We have more than AMPLE CELL SERVICE and can make
emergency calls. My neighbors who have AT&T, are content with their cell service
and do not want this monopole and have testified and signed the petition.
There is no evidence of a significant service gap for me and for all the opposing
full-time residents of my community. There are existing towers nearby next to the
Keaau Foodland and another one at Assembly of God in Kurtistown.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that in MetroPCS vs. San Francisco
2005), The Telecommunications Act, (TCA) does not have to assure every wireless
carrier a right to seamless coverage in every area it serves? The TCA does not
guarantee wireless service providers coverage free of small "dead spots."
6. INVESTMENT CONCERNS. As a property owner, I am concerned about PROPERTY
VALUES DECLINING and the ability to attract a home buyer in the future should this
atrocity be installed. This is a HUGE investment risk for all home owners!
Sellers have to complete a Sellers Real Property Disclosure Statement including
information on lines 23 & 26 that could deter potential buyers from considering our
homes. Our homes are our investments too and we were here FIRST! The applicant
is not concerned about whether we can sell our homes in the future.
3
In the March hearing, submitted were written testimony from one of the property
owners, Caleb Yamanaka, who is a licensed real estate broker in the State of
Hawaii. As an expert in this field, he conveyed his concerns and opposes this
permit.
Research indicates that over 90%of home buyers and renters are less interested in
properties near cell towers and would pay less for a property in close vicinity to
cellular antennas. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
considers cell towers as "Hazards and nuisances."
7. AFFORDABLE HOUSING. We live in affordable housing and that is partly why we
chose the area. We cannot afford to see our property values drop nor move to
other areas where home prices and rentals are higher like it is in Hilo. There is a
SHORTAGE of affordable housing and since AT&T is not a property owner, they are
not concerned about our property values.
8. KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL PARENTS. There were two very upset parents who
testified at the March hearing. They heard about the proposed monopole/facility
project through others in the community and NOT from the school administration.
Since the hearing, we've spoken to other parents who don't want this project near
the school and were disappointed the school had not mentioned it. This is
irresponsible and could only cause more community outrage.
In March, the applicant said they would "educate" the community. If this is their
approach and they are genuinely concerned about our community, this education
should occur prior to pursuing further advancement in this project. All parents
including those whose children attend Kamehameha School and those whose
children are visitors attending events at the school should be invited and have a
seat at the table.
Please do not disregard all who testified, submitted written testimony and showed
up at the two previous hearings.
Please reject this permit again and Thank you for reading my testimony. Mahalo!

RE: Applicant:New Cingular Wireless PCS,LLC—Use 19-000081—TMK(3)1-7-031:031
Dear Mr.Chairman and Fellow Commissioners:
My name is Caleb Yamanaka and I am the owner of a home at-FMK(3)1-7-028-045 located in Iwasaki
Village,and I oppose the proposed 180-foot tall monopole that is proposed to be erected across the
street from my property.
As a licensed real estate broker in the State of Hawaii,I have a professional perspective on how this
proposed development will affect my neighbor's properties as well as my own.
1) The proposed development will create a direct nuisance for our properties. At 180 feet with
supporting equipment,the proposed development will be a direct blight on the landscape of
Iwasaki Camp. The blinking lights that are required on the pole will create a continuous
distraction to the homes and its occupants. Not to mention the continued hum and noise that
the equipment will create. While the proposed site is agriculture land,Iwasaki Camp directly
adjacent to the site is a residential neighborhood. My lot for example is only 4,632 square feet.
2) The proposed development will cause a direct devaluation In our properties. Once approved,all
owner's who wish to sell their properties will have to disclose the construction and its potential
affect on view planes,noise,blinking lights,etc.that the development will bring with it. Once
approved and constructed the owner's who wish to sell will have to disclose the affect that the
continuous hum and noise of the cell tower has on their use and enjoyment of the property.
Personally,the 180-foot pole should be directly visible across the street from my property,it will
be an eyesore,along with the noise,blinking lights and increased traffic should put a significant
downward pressure on the value of the home.
Finally,I did want to point out that there are any number of large agricultural parcels with paved access
that do not border next to a residential neighborhood.
I ask for your consideration and vote to deny this application.

TMK: 3)1-7-031:031
Project: New Telecommunications Facility
Application: Use Permit(USE 19-000081)
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this letter to oppose the granting of the permit for the New Telecommunications Facility in
my neighborhood. Because the hearings for this permit are held during work hours, I am sending this
written testimony with one of my neighbors.
After doing some initial,albeit minimal,research on cell towers, I have found information about the
harmful effects that have been substantiated worldwide. I am personally concerned because I am
extremely sensitive to frequencies and high pitched noises. I have a history of debilitating headaches
that come on when I'm exposed to vibration caused by electronic devices such as the sound of music
coming through someone's headphones or even just noise coming through a cell phone speaker.I am
also concerned about the low buzzing vibrations reported to come from such towers and how they may
diversely affect sleep patterns.
Again, I am in opposition to this proposed project and the granting of the permit to allow it.
Sincerely,
e' 1-•---atA417v-4- g. A--c-f-t---e'

A'OLE AT&T PETITION
We, the undersigned, petition the County of Hawaii Planning Department to REJECT/DENY New
Cingular Wireless' (AT&T Mobility)application for Use Permit (USE 19-000081)at 17-3755 North
Road, Kea'au, HI 96749 (TMK: (3) 1-7-031:031).
PETITION
Petition to block the development of a New Cingular Wireless (AT&T Mobility) telecommunication
facility at 17-3755 North Road, Kea'au, HI 96749.
We, the undersigned property owners, residents, and community members, petition the County of Hawai'i
Planning Board to deny the application by New Cingular Wireless (AT&T Mobility) for Use Permit
USE 19-000081) at 17-3755 North Road, Kea'au, HI 96749 (TMK: (3) 1-7-031:031). We cite adverse effects
that will impact environmental aesthetics; increase noise pollution; the perception of and potential to affect
health and well-being of humans, livestock and vegetation; and real estate devaluation based on the
aforementioned.
The 180' monopole would be in close proximity to a tranquil neighborhood comprised of agriculture, homes,
churches and schools. Its enormity and height will have an adverse visual impact on the adjacent residential area
and public thoroughfare and will be inconsistent with the inherent nature of this area. Noise pollution will
intensify and also affect the tranquility that is characteristic of the neighborhood.
Despite FCC claims that cell towers are safe, there is no solid evidence to refute health risks and the
environmental impact caused by chronic exposure to radio frequencies, a form of electromagnetic radiation,
emitted by cell towers. The tremendous amount of compelling information regarding illnesses related to cell
tower emissions is, by-and-large, minimized and disregarded. However, the perception that cell towers cause
cancer and have the capacity to sicken humans has damaging implications to property value in the area.
A I 80-foot monopole and facility will permanently disfigure the agricultural landscape of our farms and our
homes. Therefore,our community implores the Planning Board to deny the application for
Use Permit (USE 19-000081).
We undersigned call on County of Hawaii Planning Department to REJECT/DENY AT&T permit

Dear Chairman Raffipiy and Windward Commission,
Under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Congress established the
First Responder Network Authority(FirstNet Authority)and directed it to ensure the
building, deployment, and ongoing operation of the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband
Network("FirstNet"),the first nationwide high-speed broadband network dedicated to public
safety.' The FirstNet Authority's mission is to provide and maintain a single, interoperable
platform that consistently satisfies the demanding communications needs of the public safety
community in Hawaii and across the country. New radio access network("RAN") sites are
essential to the success of the program and delivering the mission critical coverage public
safety needs to communicate and save lives.
This network has been a top priority for first responders and public safety agencies in
Hawaii and throughout the country, and has been designed based on their specific, expressed
needs, with coverage and capacity being paramount. Simply put,coverage enables a first
responder to send and receive data, and capacity ensures speed and quality of those
communications. New RAN infrastructure connected to FirstNet will improve
communication for first responders where that infrastructure has been currently lacking. The
FirstNet Authority and our private-sector partner, AT&T,have worked with the Hawaii
public safety community to identify coverage needs throughout the state. FirstNet will
enhance emergency communications for everyday use as well as for large-scale emergencies,
weather events and other natural disasters that disrupt the state.
See Title VI of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012(P.L. 112-96),

In August 2017,Governor Ige opted into the FirstNet Authority plan for RAN
deployment in Hawaii and thus authorizing construction of the FirstNet network in areas of
the state where public safety needs coverage and capacity. By opting-in, Governor Ige
enabled public safety to rapidly access broadband services in Hawaii,while also allowing the
prompt buildout and deployment of the network which began in March of 2018. His decision
also directed the FirstNet Authority to take on all the risks,costs, and responsibilities
associated with deploying the network in Hawaii for 25 years, and take immediate steps to
make prioritized services and features available to public safety in the state.
This network not only needs to serve your local community,but will also serve the
thousands of first responders that have already adopted FirstNet in Hawaii that may respond
to your next major emergency. The FirstNet Authority requests your support of our efforts to
build new sites to achieve required coverage and capacity for our vital mission in service of
public safety.
I am the Senior Public Safety Advisor assigned to Hawaii and a retired Honolulu Fire
Department Chief Officer with experience in public safety dispatch and emergency
communications. I am available to assist you at any time. I may be reached at
kenison.tejada@firstnet.gov or(240) 848-0647. For your reference, attached is additional
information about the FirstNet Authority and the network we were entrusted by Congress to
establish.

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter provides confirmation that the First Responder Network Authority's (FirstNet)
Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) contract was awarded utilizing full and
open competitive procedures which resulted in a single award to AT&T to provide the NPSBN
services.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the NPSBN contract, AT&T is responsible for
providing/offering a comprehensive network solution to each of the 56 states and territories. The
comprehensive network solution provides services that include: the deployment and
provisioning of a nationwide Core Network ("Core"), and Radio Access Network (RAN)
services; backhaul, aggregation, and the use of national transport networks and operation centers;
a device ecosystem; use of network infrastructure; deployable capabilities; use of operational and
business support systems; an applications ecosystem; network services; and the integration,
maintenance, operational services, and ongoing evolution of these systems required to function
fully as an operational wireless 3rd Generation Partnership Project(3GPP) standards-based Long
Term Evolution (LTE)NPSBN.
The AT&T services will bring to Public Safety Entities an interoperable NPSBN with quality of
service, priority usage, and preemption. In addition, the NPSBN will be hardened, as needed,
from the physical perspective and will be resilient, secure, and highly reliable from the network
perspective. Furthermore, the NPSBN will provide, to public safety agencies, both national and
local control over prioritization,preemption, provisioning, and reporting.
The NPSBN and associated devices will be branded as FirstNet, consistent with applicable laws
and regulations. While FirstNet will maintain oversight responsibilities, AT&T is responsible for
executing marketing, product management; sales; distribution; customer care; communications;
strategic partnering; and network deployment, operation, maintenance, and evolution.
The NSBPN contract between FirstNet and AT&T has a period of performance of 25 years from
the date of award (March 28, 2017 through March 27, 2042).
If you have any questions with regard to this letter and/or the FirstNet NPSBN contract, please
contact me at 571-665-3995 or via email at Terrie.Callahan@firstnet.gov.

FirstNet: The Future of Public Safety Communications
https://firstnet.gov/sites/default/files/Branding the Future of Public Safety Communication
s 0.pdf)
The First Responder Network Authority(FirstNet Authority)was charged by the U.S.Congress to
ensure the development, building, and maintenance of a nationwide mobile broadband network
dedicated to meeting the needs of the public safety community.Over the past several years,the
FirstNet Authority has made great strides toward fulfilling this purpose, including the
establishment of a public-private partnership with AT&T, Inc. (AT&T)to deploy the nationwide
public safety broadband network across the country and adoption of FirstNet service by
hundreds of thousands of public safety professionals.As FirstNet matures and public safety
reaps the benefits of a network dedicated to providing them with needed capabilities and
features,the FirstNet Authority is focusing on the next stages of fulfilling its mission.The
FirstNet Authority is committed to a vision where a dedicated and differentiated broadband
communications experience transforms public safety operations to save lives and protect
communities.This vision encapsulates the entirety of the "FirstNet Experience"from AT&T's
deployment of the FirstNet network to the FirstNet Authority's value-adding activities and
investments,which make FirstNet different from any other public safety communications
experience. Over time,the FirstNet Authority's work will help enable public safety to
communicate in new and ever more useful ways to help transform public safety
operations. (First Responder Network Authority Roadmap,at 3,
https://firstnet.gov/system/tdf/FirstNet Roadmap.pdf?file=l&type=node&id=1055&force=0).
As with many bold public policy initiatives, the creation of FirstNet ensued from disaster and
tragedy.Although the idea that all first responders across the United States should share one
nationwide network existed prior to September 11, 2001, the events of that terrible day inspired
collaborative action from public safety and Congress.As Congress directed, FirstNet is working
toward the deployment of a single, interoperable platform for public safety communications that
will bring dedicated priority wireless broadband services to millions of public safety personnel at
the local, state, tribal, and Federal levels. . . . Authorized by Congress in 2012, FirstNet will fulfill
a fundamental need of the public safety community and is the last remaining recommendation
to be addressed of the 9/11 Commission. FirstNet's mission is to ensure the deployment, and
operation of a nationwide public safety broadband network(network)for public safety entities.
Leveraging Long Term Evolution (LTE)5 technology standards, up to$7 billion in funding from
spectrum auctions, and a nationwide license of 20 MHz of radio frequency spectrum,the
FirstNet network is intended to dramatically increase the safety and capabilities of all of those
who serve in a public safety capacity, and thereby further protect the American people. Public
safety, and thus the American people,will benefit from the availability of a dedicated wireless
broadband network prioritized for first responders,the economies of scale afforded by a

national,commercial standards-based network, and the force of innovation in applications
which to date has only been enjoyed by consumers. (2014 Annual Report to Congress, at 1,
https://firstnet.gov/system/tdf/FirstNet Annual Report to Congress-
FY 2014.pdf?file=1&type=node&id=644&force=0)
During the events of September 11, 2001 (9/11),first responders could not communicate with
each other. Some radios did not work in the high-rise World Trade Center; radio channels were
overloaded by the large number of responders trying to communicate; and public safety radio
systems operated on various frequencies and were not interoperable.There were also non-
technical issues. Officials struggled to coordinate the multi-agency response,and to maintain
command and control of the numerous agencies and responders.
The 9/11 Commission called for the"expedited and increased assignment of radio spectrum for
public safety purposes." Increased spectrum would allow public safety agencies to
accommodate an increasing number of users; support interoperability solutions(e.g.,shared
channels); and leverage new technologies (e.g., live video streams)to enhance response.
In 2012,Congress acted on the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. In Title VI of the
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-96),Congress authorized the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)to allocate additional spectrum for public safety use;
established the First Responder Network Authority(FirstNet)and authorized it to enter into a
public-private partnership to build a nationwide public safety broadband network; and,
provided $7 billion out of revenues from spectrum auctions to build the network....
FirstNet has made progress in implementing the provisions in the act. In March 2017, FirstNet
awarded a 25-year, $6.5 billion contract to AT&T to build and maintain the nationwide network
for public safety. FirstNet provided AT&T with 20 megahertz(MHz) of broadband spectrum,
which AT&T can monetize for public safety and non-public safety use.AT&T is providing FirstNet
access to its infrastructure,valued at$180 billion, and$40 billion to maintain and improve the
network.
In September 2017, FirstNet/AT&T presented states with plans detailing how the network would
be deployed in each state.Governors could opt to have AT&T deploy the network(i.e., opt in),
or have the state assume responsibility for the deployment(i.e.,opt out). By January 2018,all
50 states and 6 territories opted in.This was viewed as a victory for FirstNet,AT&T,and public
safety stakeholders who had long advocated for a nationwide network for public
safety. (Congressional Research Service, The First Responder Network(FirstNet)and Next-
