DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 71 of 156 <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Madame Chair, if I could also state, that we were at the site. I was at the site, the 1 <br />telecommunications consultant for the County as at the site, and Mr. Gwen is correct. He informed 2 <br />everybody on the property, which included non Towercom employees. Just for the record. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Samantha Cabe: Thank you. 5 <br /> 6 <br />John Price: In addition to what is shown in these photos did you also determine whether there 7 <br />were other locations on the Dove Field property and more generally in the area from which the 8 <br />proposed tower would be visible? 9 <br /> 10 <br />Evan Gwen: There are multiple locations. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Samantha Cabe: Mr. Price, could I stop you? I just have one quick question for Mr. Harvey. Was 13 <br />the snag corrected and do you know whether or not the photographs submitted were taken before 14 <br />or after that snag was? 15 <br /> 16 <br />Michael Harvey: I can’t answer when the photgraph was taken as articulated in attachment 5 but I 17 <br />will say when I got out there there was no snag in the balloon early in the morning. When I went 18 <br />back out to the site to address Mr. Gwen’s concern it had become bound by a tree limb. Mr. 19 <br />Herring who was the balloon operater pulled on it and attempted to free it. Whether or not that’s 20 <br />going to be a bone of contention’s Mr. Herring’s going to answer. But I will stipulate that when I 21 <br />was out there the balloon was straight up. I believe the depiction of attachment 5 does show 199-22 <br />foot tall representation of a telecom tower. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Samantha Cabe: Ok, thank you. 25 <br /> 26 <br />John Price: What other locations in the community were you able to determine the tower would be 27 <br />visible from? 28 <br /> 29 <br />Evan Gwen: In addition to the multiple locations on the Dove Field property, the Aquaduct 30 <br />Conference Center across the street would have an excellent view of the tower, in addition to 31 <br />various properties in the Governers Club that are north facing on Edwards Mountain, as well as 32 <br />some of the higher floor condos and apartments of the Governers Village. 33 <br /> 34 <br />John Price: And how about the Edwards Mountain? 35 <br /> 36 <br />Evan Gwen: On Edwards Mountain anybody looking north down on that area would see that 37 <br />tower. Including the proposed Anylan home site. 38 <br /> 39 <br />73
