That's awesome, thanks for the update Larry,this is one i wish i could attend, that's just like three blocks away from my house, but the heavy load at work will not permit me to attend, i wonder what the exact location for this one will be?

[larry]

Exact location will be at 9118 Van Nuys Blvd. I hope they can get it passed but you never know who will show up to fight it.

i'm going to drive by that location and see what kind of building it is.

[larry]

Maybe I should come up and attend the meeting in place of you?

that would be an honor..

What people and groups usually oppose expanding wireless to have more antennas in the area??

Stupid ones.

Happens all the time. You should see what happens when a new antenna proposal comes before a planning commission/City Council anywhere in Northern San Diego County or in Santa Monica & Malibu.

[Tony E!]

Stupid ones.

Agreed..

[Tony E!]

wonder how that went?

I spent weeks with the planning commision on a Building that I was on, that had antennas on it for years, and the some parents at the school complained and we had to hire lawyers, have studies down, it was a pain, this was on an old Bekins Storage building off El Cajon Blvd in SD just east of the 15. What a pain, I ended up just leaving the site and getting the FCC to let me move the licence elsewhere.

I have also been in meetings in Santa Rosa, CA and surrounding NIMBY communities, with people freaking out about Wireless Cable and 802.11b Wireless Broadband.

The amount of money it costs to fight this stuff is amazing. Plus you have to grease the wheels in certain communities with the Local Politicans to get this stuff put through also ( but you did not hear that from me).

Hey Rasputin glad you made it here...

i don't think they'll have a hard time getting this antenna approved in Panorama City, we have about everything else here, unfortunetly..

I have posted this before US West put up a tower north of my home town when they opened the market. A new family moved into the house next to it (still live there today). They read something that if a tower is less than 1000' away you can get radiation exposure . They fought with the city council to move the tower by 1997 Airtouch decided to move the tower to be by the tower US Cellular has

Some carriers will give in and back down to NIMBY's and City Councils. Sprint will play hard ball with them and hash it out in court before backing down from anyone. I admire them for this.

I know that place!

[Tony E!]

Larry, any updates on this?

[larry]

No I have no idea what happened. I lost my contact with the city of LA so I probably won't be able to find out. I guess you'll just have to wait about 6 months and see if a new antenna comes up there.
