<br />From:Eileen Downing <br />To:LPCtestimony <br />Subject:Oppose item #4, Planning Director’s Ordinance <br />Date:Monday, September 16, 2024 9:49:53 AM <br />I oppose Item #4 Planning Director's Ordinance as it is too sympathetic to the <br />telecommunications industry with not enough protections for our community. It gives <br />almost total power to Planning and Telecom with no other agencies or experts <br />involved! It rushes the approval process to only 30 days! It has no provisions to <br />protect us against 5G small cells! It freely allows towers at schools, playgrounds and <br />day care centers! <br /> <br />Council Member Cindy Evans submitted a different ordinance (Bill 194) put through <br />on August 20th, that counters it and protects Big Island communities! <br />Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, <br />attainable requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and <br />welfare of the people and the needs of the tech industry. <br />Thank you. <br />Eileen Downing <br />4099 West McCombs Dr. <br />Terre Haute, IN 47802 <br />
