HomeMy WebLinkAboutMUP22-0008 09. Telecom InformationINFORMATION FOR APPLICATIONS FOR APPROVAL OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY
Ordinance Section 24-180, A:
1. Tillman Infrastructure proposes to develop a 105’ tall monopole and 85’ x 80’ fenced ground
equipment enclosure. Verizon wireless will be the initial tenant; the facility is designed to accommodate
two additional carriers for co-location. A new, gravel access driveway from Neal Road will provide
access to the facility.
2. The facility will provide AWS (Advanced Wireless Service) which includes phone and data services.
3. Six panel antennas will be on the pole (three measuring 72” x 20” and three measuring 33” x 20”).
The antennas will be a non-reflective, matte, light grey finish.
4. Top of structure height will be 105’.
5. The support structure will be a monopole, approximately 36” in diameter.
6. Hazardous materials will include a 150-gallon diesel fuel tank for the emergency backup generator,
and backup batteries. Final battery design will be completed for construction documents. Electrolyte
volumes will be calculated base on the final design and if volumes exceed the reporting threshold, then
the applicable management plan and/or reporting protocols will be implemented. The batteries and
generator will be within the project’s fenced equipment area.
7. The tower and antennas will be a non-reflective, matte finish, light grey color. The equipment area
will be screened by a chain link fence with brown, vinyl, privacy slats. No landscaping is proposed.
8. A location map and coordinates (39.669419 / -121.730136) are provided on sheet T-1 of the enclosed
project plan set, Exhibit D.
9. Elevations of the facility are provided on Sheet A-5 of the enclosed project plan set, Exhibit D.
10. Colored photo-simulations are enclosed, Exhibit E.
11. N/A. The site is not within a residential zone or within 1,000’ of a residential, or within the AIR zone.
12. Existing nearby Verizon sites are shown in the enclosed RF Usage and Facility Justification, Exhibit H.
Verizon considers future plans as proprietary information. All existing Verizon facilities are on record
with the applicable land use and building permits.
13. Antenna output information is provided in the enclosed Exhibit G, Evaluation of Radiofrequency
Environment.
14. The enclosed RF Usage and Facility Justification, Exhibit H, illustrates the need to replace the existing
in the same vicinity in order to maintain established coverage areas.
15. Fall zone and structural characteristics are documented in the enclosed letter from Sabre Industries,
Exhibit J.
16. The proposed tower utilizes a single support mono-pole, requiring no guy wires, and the monopole
design allows for a narrower profile than a lattice tower. Finishes will be a non-reflective, light grey
color.
17. Tillman Towers has not yet provided notice to communication carriers, but the proposed project is a
co-location facility, initiated by the need for the first tenant, Verizon Wireless, to find a replacement for
their existing site. There are no existing structures within Verizon’s service area that could be used for
co-location. Thus, the project is necessary for Verizon to continue to provide service, and will provide
co-location opportunities for other carriers in the future as demands dictate.
18. FCC licenses for Verizon are enclosed, Exhibit I.
19. Evaluation of the Radiofrequency Environment, Exhibit G, is enclosed.
