OC Board of Adjustment – 6/8/2015 Page 19 of 68 Robert Hill: Yes. We are co-locating on 37 of their sites now. 1 2 Samantha Cabe: Could you state your name again? 3 4 Robert Hill: Robert Hill. 5 6 Larry Wright: And you are duly sworn? 7 8 Robert Hill: T-Mobile and I was duly sworn. 9 10 Tom Johnson: The preferences where you have got a contract already is existing, that is vetted first before it is given to 11 Skyway, who I primarily represent. This came to Skyway because the American Tower site was already vet ted and 12 would not work. 13 14 Robert Hill: I am the site Development Manager so I deal with leasing, the towe r companies and construction. 15 16 Mark Micol: Was finances a part of that decision? 17 18 Robert Hill: The reason we vet the co-locations first as far as cost, capital expense, they are the best way for us to go. 19 They are quicker; we don’t have to go through as many regulatory hoops as with a new tower. We try to avoid new 20 towers as much as possible but when you get into jurisdictions that have limited heights and 105% setback, it gets 21 difficult to not have to build a few sites. 22 23 Bob Hornik: Mr. Hill, you work for T-Mobile? 24 25 Robert Hill: Yes sir. 26 27 Bob Hornik: Did you personally speak with anybody about the American Tower site at 5266 Kerley Road? 28 29 Robert Hill: Yes. 30 31 Bob Hornik: Who did you speak with? 32 33 Robert Hill: Mark Landers. 34 35 Bob Hornik: Who is Mark Landers? 36 37 Robert Hill: He is in sales for at least the Carolinas, I’m not sure if he is more. My area is the Carolinas. 38 39 Bob Hornik: And he works for American Towers? 40 41 Robert Hill: Yes. 42 43 Bob Hornik: When did you speak with him? 44 45 Robert Hill: Last year, I don’t know the exact timeframe, probably October of 2014. 46 47 Bob Hornik: Did he refuse you a request to co -locate at 105 feet? 48 49 Robert Hill: No sir. 50
