DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 116 of 156 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Ben Levitan: I don’t believe so. I think there’s plenty of alternatives. There are existing towers 2 <br />already in that area, there are plenty of alternatives. 3 <br /> 4 <br />John Price: TowerCom’s experts testify… 5 <br /> 6 <br />Samantha Cabe: Ok, hang on one second. If we could look at the map that had the actual search 7 <br />ring, can you tell me which tab it is? 8 <br /> 9 <br />Laura Goode: Sure. That’s Exhibit or tab 5. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Samantha Cabe: And is the search ring the red? Are you sure that’s it? 12 <br /> 13 <br />Laura Goode: I have it labeled as Exhibit 5. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Samantha Cabe: Is this it? 16 <br /> 17 <br />Laura Goode: Correct. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Samantha Cabe: And so the search ring is red? 20 <br /> 21 <br />Laura Goode: Yes ma’am. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Samantha Cabe: So would you look at that picture and tell me if there’s an existing? Because you 24 <br />just said, “No, there’s plenty of existing towers there” but I want you to look at what the search ring 25 <br />actually was. Because I’m not sure… It’s in their application. 26 <br /> 27 <br />John Price: This is their search ring ….. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Samantha Cabe: W e’re talking about the search ring. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Ben Levitan: They’re saying this is the only place you could… 32 <br /> 33 <br />Samantha Cabe: This was their search ring based on whatever their reasons for doing it that are 34 <br />proprietary. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Ben Levitan: There’s certainly a ton of infrastructure in here that… Where’s Mount Carmel Church 37 <br />Road? There it is. There’s plenty of infrastructure, like water towers, buildings… 38 <br /> 39 <br />Samantha Cabe: You know that sir? Can you see water towers on there? I mean, I’m just… I 40 <br />appreciate what you’re saying but also, I felt like what you just said was a little off the cuff without 41 <br />actually looking at the search ring. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Ben Levitan: I’m looking now and there’s gotta be lampposts in here, I see buildings, I see 44 <br />structures, I see what looks like barn and utilities and things like that. 45 <br /> 46 <br />Matt Hughes: Well it just seemed like, for example I believe when they presented the search ring 47 <br />that their database or whatever has an inventory of structures that could meet this need and there 48 <br />didn’t seem to be one within that search ring. 49 <br /> 50 <br />118
