She wanted to get a copy of the exposed limit, and wants to make sure that it is not a problem. Planning Board closed floor for public speakers. Board Member Alvarez-Morroni requested a response to the speaker's concerns. Mr. Brendan Leonard, representing Verizon, stated that regardless of what the FCC says, when the facility is in compliance, there are many things that happen. The channels are the same for AM/FM radio and UHF television. Human exposure is heavily regulated. If the carriers were not in compliance, they would lose their license. He addressed Board Member Alvarez-Morroni's questions about co-locating antennas and stated that Alameda is very well-covered with service. He also requested a minor amendment regarding mutual consent for joint use of the pole. Board Member Tang asked if the pole could be relocated to Mt. Trashmore. Mr. Leonard stated that Verizon is trying to close the gap of lack of service south of Liberty Avenue. Board Member Zuppan wondered if the placement of the antennas would affect things on the water.
