U /ill <br />Verizon Wireless <br />PROPOSED WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY <br />Ireland <br />South Bead, 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 [Wile 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 fits <br />Verizon's coverage area and coverage needs. <br />5.
