there's a discussion about mr. yee wanting to expand his use, allegations of graffiti and trash, as required, at&t removes graffiti within three days of notification, there's a toll free number to

we absolutely dispute the dpw's position that mr. yee received a june 12, 2012 e-mail notifying him that there was going to be a hearing to decide the suitability of this location, the ability to object, had mr. yee been notified of that, we could have raised many of the issues that we are raising in this appeal, so it is quite unfortunate that there mr* yee was not given that opportunity. had we been notified, we can point out the various flaws in placing this smf at the location where it currently was. at&t fell very short in its notification procedures and following through with its own procedures, during negotiations that at&t had with mr. yee was fond of boasting that they don't negotiate with anybody, so since at&t apparently has unlimited resources to handle matters like this, perhaps it could have developed and done a little bit more to make sure all of the affected residents and property owners of this very busy commercial area would have been notified and had the opportunity to object. moving on to the merits of the matter, whe

construction, mr. yee's complaint came in, stop work order, then we were allowed to proceed and make it a faith condition, the cabinet's not turned on, it's placed there as a temporary fix until you determine the outcome of this appeal. once we either have permission to proceed, we will finish construction and grind down the lip or we will remove the cabinet and put the site back to being just a sidewalk, it's not saying the department can't be fixed, they're saying it can't be fixed until we determine this and decide which way to go, as to your item, we have responsibility and liability to what happens based on our facility being in the right-of-way. there's a discussion about mr. yee wanting to expand his use, allegations of graffiti and trash, as required, at&t removes graffiti within three days of notification, there's a toll free number to call if there's graffiti, should the city have to remove the graffiti, they can xharj the expenses of at&t which goes beyond the city's code, we offered per the mou t

also just to respond to some things that were raised, mr. yee, we have met with mr. yee, he proposed a few alternate locations, one was at a bus stop, one was near a gas main and one was on top of a hydro main, none were acceptable under the dpw guideline, if the commissioners have any question, i'd be happy to answer any. >> the alternative locations you just mentioned were presented by the appellant, is that not correct? >> correct. >> and did your client, at&t also present alternative locations? >> yes, absolutely. so, when we originally cutting the -- so, this cabinet has to be within 300 feet of the location, and -- >> 300 feet of what? >> of an existing equipment that at&t already has in the right-of-way, so we went out and survey and had looked for alternate location, we're required to seek a private property location, we reached out to private property owners to see if we could do that, we looked at the existing right of way, we proposed the location, we did a site walk trying to find the best location for the community in that area, came up with this location
