RAFFIPIY: Okay, thanks a lot. Any other questions from the, from the Commission? Thank you very much. Will the owner or the representative come forward please? You're already sworn in, so you can just proceed. TOMLINSON: Thanks very much. I'll try and keep this brief. Again, this is another site that fills a significant gap in coverage. It is also part of AT&T's FirstNet Program. In terms of co - location identification because I know that's a question, so SBA is actually a tower company, there's a number of tower companies, Crown Castle, American Tower, SBA, Vista, that all own, there's many of them that all own and manage towers. So, what typically happens in many cases is a carrier will build a tower and many times they actually sell them to a third party who then, basically, rents space as a business model. So, the SBA tower is one that is on I guess 13'h Avenue, and it is 150 feet tall and it has two carriers on it already. It has Verizon and T -Mobile. So, the reason why we couldn't go on that site was because the available height that we would get in aggregate would not be as beneficial as this particular site. It wouldn't provide the coverage that we needed, because that particular piece of land is, can't remember what the distance is, about 50 feet less in elevation, and then we would be down at about 115 feet for, on the tower as a third carrier on the tower. So that's why it was, it was eliminated. And we decided to go with the monopine at 100 feet, with the stealth monopine at 100 feet in its proposed location. AU: Mr. Chair, I have a question for the Applicant. RAFFIPIY: Thank you, go ahead Mr. Au. AU: Mr. Tomlinson, where did you put your sign? TOMLINSON: The sign is on, actually the main road. AU: So that would be on TOMLINSON: Not 17'', on AU: So, HPP is a private subdivision but it's considered a public road? Okay. RAFFIPIY: Any other questions? CLARKSON: So do youI have one more question. So, how significant, I mean, there's 150 - foot tower four blocks away. You would be at 115 feet, cause I guess the other two companies beat you to it. TOMLINSON: Correct. CLARKSON: And what is the difference in coverage between staying at 115 feet on that tower, maybe it's in my package and I just missed it, versus building a brand new 100 -foot tower. EXHIBIT D 4
