AFFIDAVIT <br /> Verizon Wireless <br /> PROPOSED WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY <br /> Ireland <br /> South Bend,IN <br /> STATE OF ILLINOIS) <br /> )SS <br /> COUNTY OF COOK) <br /> I, Vaughne Glymph, representing Verizon Wireless, (hereinafter "Verizon"), whose address is <br /> 1515 Woodfield Road,Schaumburg,IL 60173,being duly sworn,state the following: <br /> 1. I am a Radio Frequency Engineer engaged in the development and deployment of Verizon's area <br /> network and involved in network design and optimization, including evaluation and selection of <br /> candidates for wireless telecommunications sites in the network. <br /> 2. In an effort to provide additional capacity and improve in-building coverage in South Bend, we have <br /> determined that it is necessary to obtain a new site within one mile radius of Jackson and York Roads <br /> (the"Search Ring"). We are experiencing degraded performance for customers who live and commute <br /> in this area. <br /> 3. My evaluation, conducted in the normal course of Verizon's operations, consisted of predicting signal <br /> propagation via industry-standard software models. I calculated the proposed site's contribution to <br /> Verizon's needs for coverage and capacity in the area intended to be served by the site within reference <br /> to surrounding proposed sites. <br /> 4. Verizon Wireless evaluated a co-location opportunity on an existing water tower near Route 20 and <br /> Ironwood Drive, but the water tower is not suitable as it is approximately forty-five (45) feet tall. <br /> Conversely, the proposed Verizon Wireless tower is one-hundred and fifty (150) feet tall and Sts <br /> Verizon's coverage area and coverage needs. <br /> 5. Further Affiant Sayeth Not. <br /> IN THE PRESENCE OF: <br /> l� <br /> Print Nat e: Vaughn Glymp <br /> 4 <br />
