Approved 3113117 <br />1 <br />2 David Haughney: A correct answer to that question is ..... we optimize our network for optimal <br />3 coverage and performance on all our bands. <br />4 <br />5 John Price: Would these be focused on different service or market than the 700 megahertz <br />6 spectrum cell tower? <br />7 <br />8 David Haughney: Not in particular. That's why earlier I said not in this context. I'll put out an <br />9 example that might answer your question a little more or maybe what you are alluding to... Small <br />10 cells, for instance, since they're focused on gererally a hot spot area of coverage, like a building or <br />11 a shopping center or stadium, we use the higher bands AWS and PCS at those locations <br />12 sometimes because we know we have a very well defined small coverage area we don't use the <br />13 low bands. That's an example but I'm not sure about the question or the intent because we do use <br />14 all bands on microcells. All the bands that are mentioned, they will be used. <br />15 <br />16 Samantha Cabe: Mr. Price, before you go on I want to just... I don't know if my Board agrees with <br />17 me but I think we're going into the weeds here. If you could remind us how what you're <br />18 questioning him about is relevant to the questions before this Board, which are the standards that <br />19 we have yet to ultimately decide. Maintain or promote the public health, safety, and general <br />20 welfare, maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property, user will be in harmony with the <br />21 area and complies with the comprehensive plan. I think we're getting into some detail that is <br />22 beyond the scope here and I want to remind everyone we have a standing rule that this Board <br />23 adjourns at 10:30 unless we vote to stay open. So I just don't want you to spend your time asking <br />24 questions that are not relevant to what we're deciding. <br />25 <br />26 John Price: Well the questions I'm asking have to do with laying a foundation for my expert <br />27 witness' testimony, which has to do with whether or not there are in fact alternatives to the single <br />28 cell tower that is being proposed in this case by Towercom for solving and addressing the specific <br />29 needs along Mt. Carmel Road and the UNC Campus that would not involve putting up a large cell <br />30 tower that has other impacts on the community. That is one of the requirements... <br />31 <br />32 Samantha Cabe: Ok, I'm just telling you how much time we have left and I am saying your <br />33 testimony is going into an area that we do not have to consider as a Board. It's not our decision as <br />34 to whether there are alternatives. Our decision is about the application before us. So if you could <br />35 just proceed with cross examining this witness on the relevant evidence. <br />36 <br />37 John Price: I do think... <br />38 <br />39 Samantha Cabe: I'm not arguing with you, I'm just asking you to go forward. <br />40 <br />41 John Price: Right, ok I'll move forward. What is your call completion rate in the area along Mt. <br />42 Carmel Road? <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 42 of 156 <br />
