DRAFT OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 53 of 156 John Yeagley: I’m sure there’s utility poles, but we don’t co-locate on utility poles when we’re 1 looking for 190-foot tower. We look for a high power electric transmission towers to meet that 2 need. 3 4 John Price: Does this regulation state it’s limited to co-location? Would you typically co-locate on a 5 utility pole? 6 7 John Yeagley: Ok. Can you define utility pole? 8 9 John Price: A power line pole. 10 11 John Yeagley: When I’m assigned a search ring, I look for parameters. The parameters for this 12 search were for a 190-foot tower and there are no structures that are even close to that height in 13 that area that could meet that need. Or within 2-miles. 14 15 John Price: So it’d be in responding as to whether you have or had not complied with these 16 ordinance as I’ve been reciting are you limited your search solely to places that 195-foot cell tower 17 could be located? Or on which all of the equipment could be co-located to a tower of a similar 18 size? 19 20 John Yeagley: Not fully 195-feet. Sometimes we look for something, you know 170. But in this 21 case 190 was our goal. 22 23 John Price: So you just did not consider at all other structures? 24 25 Laura Goode: Again, at this point in time I would object to asking an answer he’s already testified 26 to what searches he looked at and what were available within the search area. 27 28 Samantha Cabe: For clarification, the testimony I heard is that you looked for other structures that 29 are required by the ordinance and if there’s anything close you will investigate that but here there 30 was nothing close to that height requirement. 31 32 John Yeagley: Correct. 33 34 Samantha Cabe: That’s what I interpreted from what you said. 35 36 John Yeagley: Yes. 37 38 55
