Approved 7/8/2013 <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 6/10/2013 Page 79 of 92 <br />be and as you can see, the area surrounding this tower is pink and white and blue and a little green 1 <br />and the coverage you are looking for is red and yellow if possible and you want as little pink and white 2 <br />and blue if possible and as I mentioned before white is no coverage, pink is not reliable coverage, 3 <br />blue is coverage as a pedestrian when you are walking, green is in vehicle coverage, yellow means 4 <br />you would have coverage in a residential building and red means you would have coverage in a 5 <br />business building. After the site is constructed… this is the propagation map that shows the 6 <br />telecommunication coverage that will be available with this site. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Samantha Cabe: Can you indicate on those maps where Jones Ferry and Greensboro Highway are? 9 <br /> 10 <br />Karen Kemerait: This is Old Greensboro Road and Jones Ferry Road comes down this way. This is 11 <br />Highway 54, this is West Main Street, this is Highway 86 and this is 15-501. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Larry Wright: Can we see the before picture alongside that? 14 <br /> 15 <br />Samantha Cabe: Is the Chatham County line marked on there? 16 <br /> 17 <br />Karen Kemerait: Once this site is on air, that will provide the corridor east from Greensboro to the 18 <br />west going into Carrboro and also add this contiguous coverage and these sites will hand off to each 19 <br />other so there will be contiguous coverage in this area. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Larry Wright: You were pointing to where it is white. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Karen Kemerait: There is no coverage here. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Larry Wright: Could you repeat the statement where you were going down toward the white into the 26 <br />Greensboro coverage. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Karen Kemerait: This would be along Old Greensboro Road west towards Greensboro… 29 <br /> 30 <br />Stephen Howard: I have been sworn. This is Old Greensboro Road. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Larry Wright: Where it goes blue to pink to white. Where are we relative to Orange County there? 33 <br />What township? Is it still Carrboro? 34 <br /> 35 <br />Stephen Howard: It’s west of Carrboro. You go out Jones Ferry and over University Lake. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Larry Wright: I guess I’m asking the devil’s advocate question, what are we gaining by this tower 38 <br />when I look at those two? 39 <br /> 40 <br />Stephen Howard: I assume you have maps. 368048 which is the closest one, that is an existing 41 <br />tower we co-located on in 2000 on 625 Old Fayetteville Road and 368210, which is the one to the 42 <br />northwest, that is at 5607 Highway 54, an SBA tower that was built that we co-located on in 2000. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Larry Wright: Can we see the two together again? 45 <br /> 46 <br />Stephen Howard: There is some signal out there but it is a very weak signal. You are not going to 47 <br />get good coverage inside the homes and it will not be adequate and reliable for all the vehicles 48 <br />traveling there. 49 <br /> 50 <br />Larry Wright: This is a tower how many feet high? 51 <br /> 52 <br />Stephen Howard: Proposed 199. 53
