Check out www.antennasearch.com to find the existing and proposed cell towers in your area. T-Mobile is proposing at least two new ones in residential areas. One is a 150-foot tower in Hawaiian Shores, in the park at the end of Malolo St. The other is proposed to be in HPP on Maku`u.
As for the one in Hawaiian Shores, the Board of Directors of the Hawaiian Shores Community Association basically entered into contract with T-Mobile to lease part of that lot to them for $1,000 a month, but never informed or asked the membership about it first. Now there is a lot of opposition to the new tower, especially from residents and property owners living near it, and even the person who was the HSCA president at the time is working to get it stopped. The T-Mobile application has not yet hit the County Planning Department, but it will soon. Apparently negative health effects such as cancer and leukemia, and decreased property values, are not legitimate reasons to get it stopped. However, apparently we can say that it might hit someone's house if it blows over in a bad storm and that IS a justifiable safety reason to get it stopped. (The tower is supposed to be 150-feet tall, and the nearest house is closer than that).
The next HSCA board meeting is tomorrow at 10am, at the Honu St. park. This issue is supposed to be on the agenda. We'll see..

Time is an illusion, but a handy one. Without it, we would not be able to hear sounds, and without that ability, we would have no music.
