DARROW:The motion passes. <br />ALAMEDA:All right, we can now move as if this is a kind of, allow for oral, what -? <br />TORIGOE:Yeah, allow for some questioning of the parties for more factual <br />information. <br />ALAMEDA:Could we do that now? <br />TORIGOE:Yeah. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay, Commissioner Siracusa, go ahead. <br />SIRACUSA:Thank you. I have here a letter on Orchidland Community Association <br />letterheaddatedOctober30,2005,toMr.LesYoungfromBobElyofOrchidlandCommunity <br />Association. Shall I wait for a few seconds while you all find that? <br />ALAMEDA:Yes. <br />SIRACUSA:Okay. In this letter Mr. Ely stated that he contacted Mr. Brazier of the, <br />who€s the President of the Ainaloa Community Association, and that the Ainaloa Community <br />Association board is in favor of putting the tower on their property, that they have not only the <br />one particular lot, the commons property lot, but also two other 7-acre commons areas that might <br />be suitable where there are no adjacent houses, and property value and aesthetic and viewing <br />distances would not play such a large role in community objections. And his final sentence, <br />paragraph rather, is It is unfortunate that Verizon did not explore this alternative at the start of <br />this process. However, we feel that it is not too late to pursue an alternative where all parties <br />will win.‚ And so what I would like to ask Mr. Young at this point is, first of all, whether he <br />decided, having seen this letter, to pursue the alternative; and, if so, what the upshot of it all was. <br />YOUNG:Sure. Thank you very much. That particular site where T-Mobile <br />currently has an 80-foot stealth flagpole antennae tower was one of four sites that we originally <br />looked at back in August of 2004. But because, and it€s in the documents that you have, but <br />because it€s a stealth flagpole, it would not allow for co-location in that particular area in the <br />Ainaloa Community Center area. So that was one of those sites that although we originally <br />looked at was not one that rose up to the level of being acceptable. <br />SIRACUSA:Excuse me, but he€s referring to -. <br />YOUNG:Yes. <br />SIRACUSA:Three sites altogether. <br />YOUNG:Yes. <br />SIRACUSA:Yeah. <br />6EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
