here. >> good afternoon, i'm gordon spencer with at&t. i guess it's kind of a general question but there are several aspects that go into the design of the network, not least of which is the traffic engineering that's done on a national basis and a local basis. we also look at the other sites in the area, see what we can do to upgrade those. those are separate projects. those also tend to come under the c.e.u. process so we are doing all of those things. sites of our antenna is never ideal because of all the limitations in the city, in this case, as many others, it's not ideal, but it does satisfy our needs for improving the capacity of the network in this particular area. supervisor campos: thank you. president chiu: supervisor weiner? supervisor wiener: thank you. question of planning. there was interesting colloquy between supervisor campos and at&t over who has what burden in terms of submitting information, so i guess my question is, my understanding and maybe i'm wrong, does planning provide criteria to cell phone companies about wh

at&t has also put forth board and spencer -- gordon spencer's report. one of the things he has criticized, where is the right coverage we should have? it is the marketing map that is right? is it the neighborhood's opinion that there is great coverage? all we're asking for is where is the criteria? they have not met the burden of proof either under the telecom reform act or under the local code of 303. that there is conclusive evidence there is a coverage problem. part of the reason is cordoned -- gordon spencer's report fell to include criteria -- failed to include criteria about what is successful. bear with me as i talk about gaps in coverage versus capacity. that has been an argument used in the past. i was at at&t park 1 barry bonds -- when barry bonds hit his home run and everyone is out there taking pictures try to upload to facebook. could anybody do it? no. at that point you have a situation that is unique where everybody is over using capacity. my question is to at&t and spencer, what is the level of capacity you are willing to accept? we had

i am joined today by gordon spencer, who is our radiofrequency engineer for at&t mobility.l hammond, a licensed professional engineer with the city california whose firm conducted the radiofrequency testing and prepare the reports that are part of your package. at&t was granted a conditional use permit to place and new six panel wireless facility at 2041 larkin street which is known as church of the fellowship of all peoples. the panel antennas will be placed inside the church. there are 50 pounds each. for a total of 300 pounds. the necessary equipment will be housed in a room on the second floor outside of the public view. under the city's wireless telecommunication services, this is a preference one location. it is a preferred structure, it is a public structure located within an fh 3 zoning district. -- rh 3 sunning district. we looked at 23 different sites in the corresponding area. this was the only preference one location to serve the residents of this area. the subject location is the least intrusive means by which at&t mobility can close the existing significant se

supervisor campos: one of the things that the appellants say is in the gordon spencer report that the statements that are in the report are not supported by engineering data, and i'm wondering what you say in response to that. >> it's supported by his own engineering data. it's not included in the records because we consider that proprietary as we agreed to do last week and would agree again to do is that if a third party wanted to verify that data, we would provide it with a signed nondish closure. supervisor campos: how can we say that the evidence is presented if the data is not included in the record? >> the data was included. it was done in the way of a map as opposed to giving raw data numbers. the information is included there but in a different format. if the planning department would like that in a different format, we could discuss that. so far, this has been sufficient for them to visualize what our capacity issues are in that neighborhood. supervisor campos: isn't the point of having data that the ability to actually verify what the map supposedly shows so how do you verif

the statement by gordon spencer is meant to justify the needs for the additional antennas in the general area, but it also shows that the school building is going to be the first building in the line of sight for the antenna beam. our own calculations show that the predictions are grossly underestimating the power density for the installation of the rooftop antennas. in their statement, e, name a 57-feet distance as a safe three-dimensional perimeter. our calculations show that the safe distance is 150 feet or three times the value they calculated. even if they were right and we were wrong and the 57 feet were the safe distance, the actual distance between the walls of the education and the school is about 35 feet. however, their calculations are indeed wrong and we showed the detailed calculations in the document we submitted and you all have. the antennas installed on the rooftop are to be 42 feet above the ground according to the docket. stated on the ground, the highest radiation level would be at a mere 4% of that established by f.c.c. yet elsewhere in that same three-page statement
