DRAFT OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 115 of 156 and their citation is Time Magazine reported a June 2nd 2015 that 76% of home buyers consider 1 cell coverage important in their home buying decision. So, I am justifying this that I am not alone 2 in being concerned that the broader housing property value, if we take it as a whole for Orange 3 County, will be positively affected by increasing cell phone coverage. So I appreciate your time, 4 and I wish you well on your decision-making. I’ll leave these letters with you as well. 5 6 Samantha Cabe: Alright, what was your third? 7 8 John Duncan Williams Jr: My third was the aesthetics. I can’t professionally… I can’t cordially 9 respond to the aesthetic concerns I’ve heard and so I’ve decided it’s not important for me to 10 respond to those at this time. 11 12 Samantha Cabe: Thank you. 13 14 John Duncan Williams Jr: Sure. Can I give you all these letters? Ok. 15 16 Barry Katz: That letter for citation was Blomquist, did you say? 17 18 John Duncan Williams Jr: Yeah. Let me tell you. I had it in Google document on my phone. I have 19 the link to it. Actually, I usually embed them so if it was email, but I can tell you a link or honestly, 20 would you like to take a picture or write it down right here? So this would be like a general internet 21 search. In reviewing the health literature, I’m glad in the last meeting I heard the Board say we’re 22 not acknowledging that, because I spent a good bit of time looking at that, and I have several 23 different pieces I would pull into it, but I think where I’m concerned is there are these sites that I 24 find are making money off of the alarmist mentality that there are health concerns related to it by 25 selling anti-EMF radiation or anti-RF radiation things and then publishing reports and then these 26 reports I have found sited on more than one website. I don’t feel a need to get into that. American 27 Cancer Society is one enough, but you add the World Health Organization and Health Canada, 28 which is the state run Canadian source. I feel like I had those three and I could provide the 29 citations. They’re also publically available. I mean, I found them on my cell phone. Again, sitting in 30 this meeting the last time. So ok, is that it? 31 32 Barry Katz: Have a good evening. 33 34 Samantha Cabe: Thank you. 35 36 Barry Katz: I’ve got a question for Mr. Harvey. You can shake your head, you don’t have to… on 37 these 50-foot towers, or whatever they are, the short towers, do they need Special Use Permits 38 for those as well as the same as these 199-foot towers? 39 40 Michael Harvey: No sir. 41 42 Barry Katz: Ok. 43 44 Ben Levitan: I think we found our location for our first lamppost mounted small cell in Chapel Hill. 45 46 John Price: Mr. Levitan, your opinion is that the search ring identified by TowerCom the area 47 where a wireless support structure must be located to meet Verizon’s service needs? The search 48 ring identified by Verizon. Is that the area where a wireless support structure or structures must be 49 located to meet the service needs? 50 117
