8:21 pm
some reason doesn't want the equipment inside at&t the owner allows this on the roof this is before and right after so we also ask for your support as we try to i have copies of the leases and everything you have as well but our support to allow us to build this site as proposed thank you. >> thank you any public comment on that item? if there's public comment please line up on the screen side of the room the first speaker can come to the podium. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is is avery i represent the ownership of 1420 there will street the
8:22 pm
building adjacent to 98 jackson excuse me. most i want to talk about a letter i received from the gentleman the staff planner did an september 30th from john d bean a general attorney for at&t i trust you guys have read the letter letter really deals with the legality of the basis of denying this application mr. the gentleman talks about the prohibition and there is a two-step task involved when you employ that effective prohibition i'm no lawyer dpu but this is the first task whether or not a significant grasping gap in the coverage
8:23 pm
exist and they've shown through a third party there is a gap that exists and whether or not they've provided a bridging of gap and i guess where i go with that the words sufficient evidence in my mind the application n is less than robust i mean 1320 is not mentioned and literally i took this from someone else on the screen just to let you guys see with the building is on jackson it's an obvious admission in the report i know the gentleman addresses it here but it's an afterthought why was that not addressed in the original application i want to direct
8:24 pm
your attention on page 2 paragraph 3 one opponent questions the need for the site and other at&t macro sites on octavia so on and so forth this paragraph has nothing to do with the application added hand they mention last sentence says at&t has a significant gap in service coverage on union i know through my research this was pulled off another application i think approved received permits on august 21st so again 0 has this sdud study been robust i have no confidence and why they continue to mention other reports i urge the commission at a minimum press for more research.
8:25 pm
>> thank you. >> hello, i'm the one of the owners of 1420 taylor street i'm totally against this project for 3 reasons ami i've been an architect and urban planner since 1971 i have a right and expertise in the design element and having these rising 9 point plus feet above the roofline is it is incomparable with the existing improvements this is a disfavored site by the w t s guidelines it makes no sense to
8:26 pm
have this installation two other issues i'm less qualified are the health issues i know there's certainly legal requirement but as i can't say this is unsafe but i defy at&t scientists to say without a doubt u doubt that 20 to thirty years of endorse to those frequency 247 will not cause harm to the inhabitants of this area no one knows the long term effects in short as dennis richard said last time i wouldn't want this facility next to my home we don't want it thirdly, a it is a gap in service i've tested that myself there's plenty of light service there for light service
8:27 pm
again, i'm not a scientist but you can go there and look yours it's fine and lastly the letter to by the at&t legal department of september 30th claims that 1800 union street would - is needed in order to close the at&t gap well 1800 union street is 1.1 miles away from our building and 3 blocks away from the installation this commercial zone it is a ridiculous thing to say they've not done their homework or a mistake it shouldn't be in there it's shoddy report writing by at&t so at&t in my opinion needs to go back to the drawing board and work on a better solution with
8:28 pm
protecting the environment in the city and not be intimidate by legal threats by at&t thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm bill i'm a property owner on 1329 taylor street a quarter of a block away my attitude is that it is inbunt the real problem additionally to the e r f is the aesthetic issues their improbation officers those antennas they appear to solve the problem by camouflaging it with other diess that about camouflage those but
8:29 pm
pursuing 9 feet and 6 antennas is intrusive in the visibility and the aesthetics of our neighborhood and it was seen it would be an issue throughout the city when the antennas of that magnitude were put on any this is would seemed to me that one of the issues would be that at&t or any other carry will come up with an alternative ways of finding antennas or issues that don't have that intrusive impact on the community and neighborhood thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. good afternoon commissioners i'm chris at the here to express my option to jackson street at the locations i've looked
8:30 pm
carefully at the documentation related to the to the project and harmful information if one looks at deeply into the proposal. >> could you speak into the microphone. >> sorry if one looks at deeply into the proposal it is clear that the project will adversely effect the businesses and create a rooftop installation of 9 antennas that -- excuse me. will detract from the beauty and seen from the public right-of-way and not in compliance with the guidelines to the general planning code or the residential guidelines in the your honor, design criteria i understand that at&t must close it's service gap at&t is not demonstrated that their research was not thorough and nothing was used their application packet
