Cell Phone Usage
Cell phones are rapidly becoming the primary means of
communication for Americans, for their work and pleasure usage.
Customers demand quality coverage in their vehicles and in their
homes.
- 93% of Americans have a cell phone
- 24.5% of American households are "wireless"
- 296,000 daily e-911 calls
- CTIA Wireless Facts, www.ctia.ora
T -Mobile's coverage objective is to provide residential coverage in
the area surrounding Cedar Grove Park as well as provide improved
vehicular coverage along Tustin Ranch and Jamboree Roads which
are major arterials with significant dropped calls.

Location in Cedar Grove Park provides the best coverage solution for the area
as it allows for best coverage into residential areas to the north and west.
m T ■ - Mob � " - Alternates Analysis
Alternate location at OCFA does not provide similar coverage as the Cedar Grove Park
location as well as faces development issues:
-- City of Irvine rejected original OCFA
site design of two, 45 -foot trees.
-- Pending redesign from applicant, Vista
Towers, of single structure design.
-- Per applicant, Vista Towers, three
carriers are already interested and T -
Mobile would be fourth carrier.
-- Structure would need to be 75+ feet to
support 4 carriers, six carrier site would
be 95+ feet.
-- Unlikely that City of Irvine and Irvine
Company will allow structures of that
size; 4 carrier site at OCFA is not
feasible.
-- In many cases, several single or two
carrier sites are a better aesthetic
option to serve an area than one all -
carrier site.

Existing Park Uses
Locating cell sites in parks is common and provides locations to provide coverage to residential areas,
revenue to the city, and a-911 coverage where needed most.

a M T ■ -Mobs „f. Neighborhood Concerns - RF Emissions
All peer-reviewed scientific studies have found no causal effect between cell site base stations
and higher incidences of cancer:
"From all evidence accumulated so far, no adverse short- or long-term health effects have been shown to occur from the
RF signals produced by base stations."
-- World Health Organization, Fact Sheet No 304, May 2006
"A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential
health risk. To date, no adverse health effect have been established for mobile phone use."
-- World Health Organization, Fact Sheet No 193, May 2010
"The Food and Drug Administration says that available scientific evidence—including World Health Organization (WHO)
findings released May 17, 2010—shows no increased health risk due to radiofrequency (RF) energy, a form of
electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by cell phones. FDA also cites a separate National Cancer Institute program finding
that, despite the dramatic increase in cell phone use, occurrences of brain cancer did not increase between 1987 and 2005."
-- FDA Consumer Health Information, May 2010
One recent study indicated a possible link between hand set use in excess of 1600 hours over
at least a ten year period and an elevated incidence of a certain type of brain cancer
(INTERPHONE Study).
As a result of this study, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified cell phone hand sets as a Class 2B carcinogen -- when a causal association is
considered credible, but when chance, bias or confounding cannot be ruled out with
reasonable confidence — and has recommended more long term study be conducted to
determine the effects of hand -set generated RF.

IARC classifications
of carcinogenic agents
(942 activities
or agents):
Group 1: carcinogenic (107) — alcohol, tobacco, estrogen therapy, sun -tanning,
and working as a painter.
Group 2A: probably carcinogenic (59) — Barbecueing, deep-frying, diesel
exhaust, and working a night shift.
Group 213: possibly carcinogenic (267) -- coffee, car exhaust, cell phone
handsets, and working as a dry cleaner.
Group 3: not classifiable as carcinogenic (508) -- saccharin, caffeine, acrylic
fiber, chlorinated drinking water, and leather working.
Group 4: probably not carcinogenic (1) — nylon
Exposure levels from handsets are several orders of magnitude greater than
those of base stations due to the distances from the antennas to the body; the
IARC did not publish any finding with respect to base station emissions.
The FCC has jurisdiction over all cell sites and, in the event of future
proof of a health effect caused by hand sets or cell sites, would require
compliance with new exposure levels as mandated by FCC and FDA.
f
m T ■ -Hobo, Neighborhood Concerns -- Property Values
Market specific studies have been done and have found no correlation to
home prices and proximity to cell sites:
-- Rollins Study, Northern California (2000) — interview of respondent's based
on recent residential sales in proximity to cell sites identified no correlation to
sales price.
-- Dorin and Smith Study, Richmond, (1999) — interview of respondents as
well as comparable sales data found no correlation between residential home
prices and proximity to cell sites.
No statistically quantifiable impact, either positive or negative, on the value of
homes though anecdotal "evidence" exists supporting both positions.
If there was any statistical correlation between sales price and proximity to
cell sites, given the enormous number of both home sales and cell sites in
Southern California, I believe it would be a widely known fact and used by
buyers and sellers routinely in their negotiations.

Conclusion
The City Council should approve the T -Mobile site at Cedar Grove Park as:
-- T -Mobile has shown a significant gap in coverage and the need for a cell site;
-- T -Mobile has shown that the proposed site at Cedar Grove Park provides not only the best
solution for the coverage need but, possibly, the only solution for the coverage need given
the status of the OCFA "alternate";
-- T -Mobile site will provided needed residential, arterial, and a-911 coverage to the area;
-- T -Mobile has responded to community concerns with regards to the aesthetics of the
design and has developed three alternate designs at differing locations within the Park;
-- T -Mobile has addressed neighborhood concerns over RF emissions and property values;
-- T -Mobile has shown that locating sites in city parks is common and provides a way for
carriers to provide the needed coverage to residential areas while benefitting the community.
