Subject:Oppose Item #4 Planning Director"s Ordinance

To Whom it may concern,
As a citizen of the Hawaiian Islands, I feel the Planning Director's Ordinance it is too
sympathetic to the telecommunications industry with not enough protections for our
community. It gives almost total power to Planning and Telecom with no other agencies or
experts involved! It rushes the approval process to only 30 days! It has no provisions to protect
us against 5G small cells! It freely allows towers at schools, playgrounds and day care
centers!
Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, attainable
requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and welfare of the people and
the needs of the tech industry.
Mahalo,
