Subject:OPPOSE ITEM 8
Date:Wednesday, September 4, 2024 7:20:01 AM
To All who are concerned,
I have been informed that measures have been taken to alter Cindy
Evan's proposed ordinance over this past Memorial Day weekend. In
the interest of time, Kindly honor and respect the voice of the people
now, before prematurely enabling another industrial giant to supersede
our right to take a stand for our well being and safety.
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.
Sincerely, Maile Orme
resident of Hawaii
