Commissioner Blank inquired if the maps were more for marketing rather than technical <br />maps. <br />Mr. Gruchawka said yes. He added that he would also be looking for street level and <br />inside building ratios, which are somewhat proprietary. <br />Commissioner Blank referred to the parabolic antennas and inquired if they were used <br />for access to the service switch network. <br />Mr. Gruchawka replied that Verizon did not state their use in the application. <br />Commissioner Blank stated that he would think if they were accessing the antennas, <br />they could be located in some other spot for access to the microwave network, and then <br />land hardwired back into the cellular repeater site. <br />Commissioner Pentin inquired if the parabolic antennas on the tree needed to be at a <br />certain height. <br />Mr. Gruchawka replied that Verizon listed the antennas as a future need without a <br />specific application. He indicated that it would depend upon what is on the pole and <br />what Verizon is trying to get to. He added that the diameter also has to do with the path <br />length and what losses they may incur in-between. <br />Commissioner Pentin inquired whether the distance Verizon was trying to reach was <br />northern Dublin. <br />Mr. Gruchawka replied that he would assume Verizon is trying to get to one of the <br />Dublin cell sites to back-haul a connector system into the network. <br />Commissioner Pentin inquired whether it would be a matter of electronics if the City <br />asked Verizon to downsize the antennas. <br />Mr. Gruchawka replied that downsizing the antenna size below a certain size is a <br />limiting factor and would not be practical because Verizon must have a certain beam <br />width on the antenna. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br />Mark Lobaugh, Complete Wireless Consulting, Inc., representing Verizon Wireless, <br />Appellant, stated that they feel the site is ideal for a wireless antenna and that the <br />antenna is well-situated in the compound.He then introduced Mr. Stefano Iachella, <br />Verizon’s technical engineer. <br />Stefano Iachella, Verizon Wireless Technical Engineer, stated that they would be able <br />to move the facility back on the site only by a few feet and not the initial proposal of six <br />to ten feet due to the utilities in the compound.
