<br />From:Franz Weber <br />To:WPCtestimony <br />Subject:Franz Weber Oppose Item #8 <br />Date:Tuesday, September 3, 2024 1:37:27 PM <br />ALOHA, <br />I oppose item # 8, in regards to <br /> PLANNING DIRECTOR INITIATED (PL-PDI-2024-000008) AMENDMENT TO <br />CHAPTER 25, ARTICLE 2, ARTICLE 4, ARTICLE 5, AND ARTICLE 7 OF THE <br />HAWAI‘I COUNTY CODE 1983 (2016 EDITION, AS AMENDED), RELATING TO <br />TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNAS AND TOWERS <br />because I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed telecommunications <br />ordinance, Bill 194, which had already been forwarded to you. The new ordinance <br />proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the telecommunications industry with <br />not enough 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 <br />agencies 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 />Mahalo, <br />Franz Weber <br />75-5660 Kopiko St. <br />Ste. C 7, # 106 <br />Kailua-Kona, Hi 96740 <br />(808) 896-6655 <br />FIM2020@outlook.com <br />
