Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes <br />October 11, 2022 <br />adjoining property line. It has to be set back that far.So, when we did that, we ended up having <br />togofurther parcelthere. So, we resubmitted for the FAA and that <br />accurate FAA is in the record. <br />Mr. Johnson said the Ordinance speaks to the plan or any other towers. It speaks to PeakNet <br />towers, and we dealt with that, where there were no other PeakNet towers in the area, as far as <br />that plan is concerned,and that is what the ordinance requires. <br />Buthe thinks otherwisethat he needs to have the RF Engineer from AT&T come upand speak. <br />He wants to try to take this in order. He is <br />would like for him to go to those first or have the RF Engineer to go first. <br />The Chair said sfirst. <br />Mr. Johnson said monetary value is irrelevant. What the monetary agreement maybe between <br />PeakNet and the property owneris really irrelevant to these proceedingsandwouldnot have to <br />be shared. <br />He saidtheRFagain,exposure is contrary to the law. The law in North Carolina saysthathealth <br />effectsof RF exposure are not to be considered by this Board in making a decision. That is <br />specifically from Chapter 160D of the General Statutes.The Impact Studyspeaks for itselfin <br />terms of the impact on property values. It was done onan analysis on other sitesin Cabarrus <br />County, where you could see the tower and could not see the tower and Mr. Berkowitz <br />concluded there was no adverse impact on property values. Unless there is contrary evidence, <br />which there is not, that has to stand. You would have to have expert testimony in that respect. He <br />. If there is another question related to <br />what Mr. Gilmanstated that hemissed,he is happy to address that. <br />Mr. Johnson asked Mr. Paul Prychodko, RF Engineer with AT&T to come forward to speak <br />about the collocation and the improvement in service. He thinks it would be helpful to have the <br />propagation maps up. <br />Mr. Paul Prychodko, Senior, RAN DesignEngineer, AT&T, 208 N. Caldwell Street, Charlotte <br />NC,asked if anyone had a question about the coverage. <br />Mr. Hudspeth asked if this had anything to do with going to 5G,he guesses it is a higher <br />frequency,isit not? <br />Mr. Prychodko said typicallynot.The reason we need to go to 275 is because the current <br />coverage is 190,and wemovedin1800 feet further up north.When you move up north you are <br />going to lose thatcoverage to the south if you do not go higher. Plus,we have a lot of dropped <br />calls in the areato the north. You can see on the aerial where we have that big white spot, we <br />have a lot of dropped calls around that area. <br />32 <br /> <br />
