Approved 3113117 <br />1 <br />2 Ben Levitan: I don't believe so. I think there's plenty of alternatives. There are existing towers <br />3 already in that area, there are plenty of alternatives. <br />4 <br />5 John Price: TowerCom's experts testify... <br />6 <br />7 Samantha Cabe: Ok, hang on one second. If we could look at the map that had the actual search <br />8 ring, can you tell me which tab it is? <br />9 <br />10 Laura Goode: Sure. That's Exhibit or tab 5. <br />11 <br />12 Samantha Cabe: And is the search ring the red? Are you sure that's it? <br />13 <br />14 Laura Goode: I have it labeled as Exhibit 5. <br />15 <br />16 Samantha Cabe: Is this it? <br />17 <br />18 Laura Goode: Correct, <br />19 <br />20 Samantha Cabe: And so the search ring is red? <br />21 <br />22 Laura Goode: Yes ma'am. <br />23 <br />24 Samantha Cabe: So would you look at that picture and tell me if there's an existing? Because you <br />25 just said, "No, there's plenty of existing towers there" but I want you to look at what the search ring <br />26 actually was. Because I'm not sure... It's in their application. <br />27 <br />28 John Price: This is their search ring ..... <br />29 <br />30 Samantha Cabe: We're talking about the search ring. <br />31 <br />32 Ben Levitan: They're saying this is the only place you could... <br />33 <br />34 Samantha Cabe: This was their search ring based on whatever their reasons for doing it that are <br />35 proprietary. <br />36 <br />37 Ben Levitan: There's certainly a ton of infrastructure in here that... Where's Mount Carmel Church <br />38 Road? There it is. There's plenty of infrastructure, like water towers, buildings... <br />39 <br />40 Samantha Cabe: You know that sir? Can you see water towers on there? I mean, I'm just... 1 <br />41 appreciate what you're saying but also, I felt like what you just said was a little off the cuff without <br />42 actually looking at the search ring. <br />43 <br />44 Ben Levitan: I'm looking now and there's gotta be lampposts in here, I see buildings, I see <br />45 structures, I see what looks like barn and utilities and things like that. <br />46 <br />47 Matt Hughes: Well it just seemed like, for example I believe when they presented the search ring <br />48 that their database or whatever has an inventory of structures that could meet this need and there <br />49 didn't seem to be one within that search ring. <br />50 <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 116 of 156 <br />
