COTTLE: This is for leasing the communication tower area on the property, so it’s a <br />lease between the property owner and the applicant. <br />DOMINGO: So that means that every five years they’ll be coming up for renewal or <br />whatever. <br />WATANABE: No, it’s a lease rent. So it’s between the landowner, as Maija indicated, <br />and the tenant, Cellco. So it’s not necessarily coming towards us; it’s not with regard to, the <br />extension is not even in reference to the Special Permit, just lease terms. So every five years, <br />they can renegotiate the lease rent. <br />DOMINGO: Well, that’s another, perhaps another question I’d like to ask with regards <br />to rather than just making one lease for the entire duration of the use of that area and rather than <br />just going through four years because I know in the lease agreement that they agreed to pay an X <br />number of dollars lease rent on a per-year basis. And I guess perhaps the owner of the land <br />rather have it such so that every four years they can negotiate for a higher lease rent. That may <br />be the case. But it’s just a thought that crossed my mind. Thank you. <br />WATANABE: Okay. Yes, Mr. Alameda? <br />ALAMEDA: I don’t mind the four five-year terms; make the Planning Commission no <br />more four five-year terms, you know. Could you summarize the main conditions that the <br />Director had for our Commissioners and for the audience? <br />COTTLE: Sure. Most of it is just changing the text of the original conditions to <br />include the 60-foot tower. There is a new condition added that the co-location of the antennas on <br />the existing tower shall be allowed by various tenants – that’s Condition No. 4. Those are the <br />main changes. <br />ALAMEDA: Thank you. <br />COTTLE: You are welcome. <br />WATANABE: Mr. Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA: I just had a couple of questions on the co-location provision. Is it the <br />intent to require co-location as a condition of this Permit? It’s not clear to me the way it’s <br />worded. <br />WATANABE: I believe that’s correct. I believe allowing or requiring co-location <br />minimizes the impacts so that competitors will be able to put their antennas on the same tower as <br />opposed to building another tower. <br />IWASHITA: I understand that. I guess, when it says “allowed,” to me that’s not a <br />requirement. You know, Verizon can say, yeah, it’s allowed but we are not going to do it. So if <br />EXHIBIT C <br />3 <br /> <br />
