Gerald Gingras, engineer, stated the use of the structure to be for radio frequency interference testing on telephone equipment. The structure is translucent to radio waves. It would be made of fabric in the shape of a dome . A solid building would reflect energy and would give tremendous errors in testing. George Perna question if there was a safety problem with the airport. Mr Gingras has checked with the airport and checked out where the localizers and glide slopes transmitters were and the frequencies they use and found they were different with no interference with the airport. Following a brief discussion on technical material , the Board requested more information for the files on any radiation levels . The Board was concerned with those levels. Mr. Gingras reassured the Board and will supply the information. Page 2 : The Board requested a letter from the Lawrence Airport Commission stating that the proposed facility will not interfere with its daily operations. The structure will be 45 ' high and inflatable. Due to the sensatitvity of the testing there will be no sprinkler system in the structure . There will be hand held fire extinguishers . Duration of the structure could be as much as twenty years. The structures are inspected every two years by the manufacture . They are- made if treated vinyl . A motion was made by George Perna to close the public hearing and take the matter under advisement. The motion was seconded by Michael Leary and voted unanimously by those members present.
