ALOHA,
I oppose item # 8, in regards to
PLANNING DIRECTOR INITIATED (PL-PDI-2024-000008) AMENDMENT TO
CHAPTER 25, ARTICLE 2, ARTICLE 4, ARTICLE 5, AND ARTICLE 7 OF THE
HAWAI‘I COUNTY CODE 1983 (2016 EDITION, AS AMENDED), RELATING TO
TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNAS AND TOWERS
because I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed telecommunications
ordinance, Bill 194, which had already been forwarded to you. The new ordinance
proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the telecommunications industry with
not enough protections for our community.
It allows for towers and antennas in ALL zoning districts with NO permitting process
and not enough requirements. It gives total power to Planning with no other
agencies involved.
Please, consider Council Member Evans’ proposed ordinance, which has clear,
attainable permit requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety,
and welfare needs of the people and the needs of the tech industry.
Mahalo,
Franz Weber
