<br />From:Tim Hailey <br />To:LPCtestimony <br />Subject:Oppose Item #4 <br />Date:Wednesday, September 11, 2024 11:43:37 AM <br />Aloha Planning Dept., <br />I oppose Item #4 on Bill 194. I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed <br />telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, which had already been forwarded to you. The new <br />ordinance proposed by the Director is too sympathetic to the telecommunications industry <br />with not enough protections for our community. We need to have protections in place from <br />having too many cell towers and antennas, especially close to homes, schools, and day care <br />centers. <br />This bill 194 gives almost total power to Planning with no other agencies or experts involved! <br />It rushes the approval process to only 30 days! It has no provisions to protect us against 5G <br />small cells! It allows towers at schools and day care centers! There are clear and evident <br />dangers from installing these towers near homes, schools, and day care centers. <br />Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, attainable <br />requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and welfare needs of the <br />people and the needs of the tech industry. <br />Please consider my concerns on this matter. <br />Mahalo Nui, <br />Tim Hailey <br />
