service coverage area needs. <br /> <br />The applicant has failed to meet Eugene Code requirements in EC 9.5750(6)(c)3 <br />by demonstrating that co-location is impractical on the existing network of <br />transmission towers. To comply with the Code, the applicant should provide a <br />map of all cell towers in South Eugene and provide factual evidence <br />demonstrating that the applicant cannot provide adequate service using the <br />same towers that other service providers use to provide excellent service to this <br />same area (Verizon, for example). <br /> <br />The failure of the applicant to fully evaluate alternative sites and to consider co- <br />location on existing transmission towers with other providers that are rendering <br />excellent service in this same area, is an indication that the applicant is <br />unreasonably fixated on this one location because the owner of the property <br />wishes to make money from the site rental, regardless of the impact on the <br />community. The application must be denied for failure to provide evidence <br />complying with the Eugene Code. <br /> <br />Insufficient Evidence for Lack of Service <br /> <br />CMS has stated that there is not sufficient evidence of the lack of service in this <br />area.

Service showed one to three bars of <br />reception at all times. A phone call was placed on the first attempt and phone <br />service was verified with good voice quality in both directions (send and receive). <br />To check data transmission at this location, a website was opened and browsed <br />with the same cell phone with website pages loading quickly. This test verified <br />both adequate cellular phone service and adequate data service from the <br />location of the proposed cell tower. This application should be rejected because <br />there is no lack of service and a new cell tower is not needed <br /> <br />Existing Cell Tower Infrastructure Already Adequate <br /> <br />In addition to AT&T service, T-Mobile and Verizon service were also verified at <br /> <br />Fodor & Associates - Page 3 <br />
