of TMs s,s <br /> z. <br /> Aannin Board <br /> 16 Great Neck Road NOYth <br /> wlashpee, Aassachusetts 02649 <br /> Ms. Faulkner asked about the life span of galvanized steel. <br /> Mr. Tilden stated it would last at least 16 years; there are certain ones that are 20+ years. <br /> Monopoles have been around since the turn of the century. Based on the Commission's <br /> decision, this site is designed for 2 additional co-locators. They can be designed for more, but <br /> there are only 3 major companies doing what Verizon does. More carriers would account for a <br /> wider pole. <br /> Ms. Waygan asked about types of camouflage that could be used. <br /> Mr. Tobin asked if the applicant could go back to the rendering of the pole on the slide. He <br /> wants to be on the same page and break down the various parts of the pole. The antenna is at <br /> the top. The monopole is straight all the way down the middle. The bottom has a base with an <br /> enclosure, and ice shield above that. <br /> Mr. Vellante stated he has seen some designed to resemble trees, in this case that might be <br /> avoided, it will not look like a tree from certain angles. If trees are 75ft. in that area, there is <br /> difference between that and 130ft., and not proportional to the naked eye and distance at the <br /> site. <br /> Ms. Waygan agreed, some views it would help, and other views would look bad. <br /> Mr. Tobin has seen visual renderings of one shaped like a flag pole on the Cape. <br /> Mr. Vellante added that the slimmer perception is visually beneficial. Looking at the pole, 4 <br /> antennas are spaced and concealed within a tight-fitting area, the tradeoff is it grows in height <br /> to accommodate multiple heights of antennas. Verizon needs more vertical real estate, and <br /> other carriers may require a single elevation. Other challenges posed with more antennas is <br /> more equipment and more concealed structures. <br /> Mr. Hansen stated they have camouflage that breaks up the horizon from viewing a ship at <br /> sea. He has seen buildings with different color blotches going up in random spots to break up <br /> the visual image of the building. Can that be done to the pole? <br /> Mr. Milbury doesn't care if the pole has paint, it will not be pretty, even as a fake tree. We are <br /> utilizing this pole to get faster more accurate data to consumers. All criteria has been met, he <br /> doesn't care about the color. <br /> Mr. Tobin inquired about a mirror coating or reflective glass. <br /> 10 <br />
