They need to be regulated. <br />I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed telecommunications ordinance, Bill <br />194, which had already been forwarded to you. The new ordinance proposed by the <br />Director is too sympathetic to the telecommunications industry with not enough <br />protections for our community. <br />It allows for towers and antennas in ALL zoning districts with NO permitting process <br />and not enough requirements. It gives total power to Planning with no other agencies <br />involved. <br />Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, <br />attainable permit requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety <br />and welfare needs of the people and the needs of the tech industry. <br />Christine Magar, <br />a resident of Hawi, Hawaii County <br />Christina Magar AIA, LEED Fellow <br />HonorPlanet.com|@christinamagarstudio <br />808 374 2008 <br />The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their <br />DREAMS. <br />Eleanor Roosevelt <br />
