Approved 3113117 <br />1 John Yeagley: I'm sure there's utility poles, but we don't co- locate on utility poles when we're <br />2 looking for 190 -foot tower. We look for a high power electric transmission towers to meet that <br />3 need. <br />4 <br />5 John Price: Does this regulation state it's limited to co- location? Would you typically co- locate on a <br />6 utility pole? <br />7 <br />8 John Yeagley: Ok. Can you define utility pole? <br />9 <br />10 John Price: A power line pole. <br />12 John Yeagley: When I'm assigned a search ring, I look for parameters. The parameters for this <br />13 search were for a 190 -foot tower and there are no structures that are even close to that height in <br />14 that area that could meet that need. Or within 2- miles. <br />15 <br />16 John Price: So it'd be in responding as to whether you have or had not complied with these <br />17 ordinance as I've been reciting are you limited your search solely to places that 195 -foot cell tower <br />18 could be located? Or on which all of the equipment could be co- located to a tower of a similar <br />19 size? <br />20 <br />21 John Yeagley: Not fully 195 -feet. Sometimes we look for something, you know 170. But in this <br />22 case 190 was our goal. <br />23 <br />24 John Price: So you just did not consider at all other structures? <br />25 <br />26 Laura Goode: Again, at this point in time I would object to asking an answer he's already testified <br />27 to what searches he looked at and what were available within the search area. <br />29 Samantha Cabe: For clarification, the testimony I heard is that you looked for other structures that <br />30 are required by the ordinance and if there's anything close you will investigate that but here there <br />31 was nothing close to that height requirement. <br />32 <br />33 John Yeagley: Correct. <br />34 <br />35 Samantha Cabe: That's what I interpreted from what you said. <br />36 <br />37 John Yeagley: Yes. <br />38 <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 53 of 156 <br />
