15. Identify to the best of your ability who will be directly and indirectly affected by your proposal. 
All of the T-Mobile existing sites in the area are now in overuse and causing this proposed 
 church location to be vital to fill the actual hole in the T-Mobile radio frequency where T-Mobile

is missing radio frequency which effects all persons who are trying to make phone call, or using 
their T-Mobile instruments in any way including E911.  T-Mobile has a major problem with their 
coverage in this immediate area and requires a telecom site within the radius of the West 
Glendale Baptist Church, as that is the location which allows T-Mobile radio frequency to meet up 
with the other existing sites. 
d. Vertical Bridge & T-Mobile has found many complaints having to to do with coverage issue, 
as there is very poor coverage in the area, and we really care if there are especially 911 
Emergency coverage issues. We are proposing this project and its location as we thought 
about the project from the perspective of individuals affected or otherwise interested and 
some of the concerns or issues these individuals may have. 
e. Those individuals affected or otherwise interested will be provided an opportunity to discuss 
the proposal with the applicant if issues or questions should continue, or suddenly arise after 
distribution of the applicant’s notification letter by either calling Gary Cassel directly, or email 
him at the email address (garycassel@clearblueservices.com) for more clarity of the project. 
f. 
Individuals will be informed of any changes or amendments to the proposed development 
after applicant’s initial contact, where I will be gathering their information when the contact 
me so I have a way back to them. 
g. I plan to inform Planning on the status of their Citizen Participation efforts through both emails 
and phone calls to the Planner.
