s <br /> Dean-is Bal arini asked about the amount of load, anything <br /> over 1/2 inch. <br /> *Nor. Joya.1 explained the monopole being proposed is designed <br /> to withstand any catastrophic weather event. <br /> The Town Planner asked if all the attachments are also <br /> guaranteed to withstand too mph winds and .ice accumulation. <br /> Mr. Joyal responded the tower model is designed with <br /> attachments from each individual company for testing. If the <br /> tower were to fail, it would fail in a predictable manner and <br /> at a specific point where it is designed to fail . <br /> e provided this information with respect to the tower, Mr. <br /> Fudala' s question pertained to the attachments thereto. ) <br /> r. Joyal identified this as a hypothetical question which <br /> he was not prepared to answer. However, he did promise to <br /> present further information in this regard. <br /> Nor. Joyal continued by reporting the structure theoretically <br /> will be made to fail safe at a point predetermined by sea Coast <br /> and approved by the Board. The placement of the over, close to <br /> existing buildings, is not uncommon/unusual in terms of <br /> utilization of space (He cited several examples of existing tower <br /> locations) . <br /> Dennis Bal arini inquired as to the life expectancy the <br /> structure. <br /> r. Joyal responded that if properly maintained n annual <br /> maintenance program is included in this proposal) the structure <br /> is expected to last indefinitely. The materials used are <br /> galvanized steel . <br /> With regard to residual effects, Mr. Joyal stated his <br /> proposal represents a safer alternative than any other tower <br /> relative to falling ice, as shelters and BTS equipment is to be <br /> located within the existing building. Personnel will not ingress <br /> or egress through the compound area t get shelter space, <br /> making for safer conditions <br /> Don Myers asked if the existing building is substantial <br /> enough to protect individuals inside. <br /> r. Joyal responded, "absolutely. . .absolutely. . .absolutely. " <br /> Mr. Joyal continued by stating the Cape Cod Commission <br /> concurs the location of the tower represents a better design by <br /> using a pre-existing structure, thus eliminating the need for any <br /> vegetation removal,, and also due to the integration of the tower <br /> into an existing industrial application. <br /> _1 - <br />
