• <br />• <br />• <br />ATTACILMENT B <br />Richard Varnes asked for clarification as to whether the 12X28 fr base station is what would need <br />to be roof -mounted or adjacent to existing buildings? <br />Alan Woydaak says no, mostly in remote areas. He also says that they may rent office space that <br />is needed, but want the flexibility to use land outside of the building. <br />Ann Closser states that the contract provision allowing more than one on a building has a greater <br />likelihood of interference, and that we need to be able to say for technical reasons why this will <br />not work. <br />Gary Kretschmer says that there are 7 people on the Planning Board (requesting packets of <br />pictures for Planning Board and City Council). <br />Richard Varnes says that Council's first concern will be protection for the competitive <br />environment and giving competition the best shot possible; as with the ICG fiber optic permit <br />application, Council's first question may well be to make sure we are not going to exclude <br />others from market. <br />(Speaker?) <br />If the ordinance isn't passed there will not be adequate competition in BoilIcier and they won't be <br />able to do it without a change. <br />Richard Vannes says that the Council is sensitive to the aesthetic and design issues and they will <br />look at the policy to see if it limits competition. <br />Jeff Pond is interested in our goals of fostering competition. He says that our avoidance of <br />negative visual impacts should be encouraged by the pictures shown. He says in the Draft there is <br />more addressed regarding the competition element rather than the visual impact. He says it is <br />hard to know what is expected by the antenna owner. He wants to know if they must notify other <br />members that a site is in mind. He says the problem is that the expectations are not clear. <br />Richard Varnes says that the message we are trying to send is that competition is really important <br />to us. We may have to revisit the whole issue because we don't want only one provider. Council <br />may have to go back and review the issue if the unintended result is a lack of competition. <br />Jeff Pond says that they can help think of more helpful phrasing. <br />Alan Boles says that there are some problems as far as legal standards. <br />Jeff Pond is concerned with the potential for technical interference. He wants to know what <br />happens if someone's broadcast is being impaired. What does the provider do until there is a <br />determination? He is also concerned with the provision on phones and the surrogate fee. The <br />
