RE: Wireless Application Package
Vertical Bridge seeks the requisite approvals and building permit to install a new wireless
facility at the parcel with APN number: 072-410-022. The proposal consists of installing (12) new
antennas and associated support equipment on a 100' mono-pine. The equipment will be located on
the ground within an enclosed 50'x 50' fenced space. Your relevant forms, submittal requirements,
and the applicable fees have been submitted with this letter.
Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“Act”), you are required to take action on Vertical
Bridge's application “within a reasonable period of time.” In a 2009 declaratory ruling, the Federal
Communications Commission established a legal presumption that a “reasonable period of time”
means 150 days to act on an application for a new wireless facility (the “shot clock”). Because the
proposed facility seeks to locate a new personal wireless service facility, the County must take action
on Vertical Bridge's application within 150 days. The shot clock begins to run the day the application
is submitted. Here, the County must take final action no later than 150 days from today, or January
18th, 2023.
Vertical Bridge respectfully requests that this application be approved and any requisite
building permit be issued as soon as possible but no later than July 13thth, 2023. If you have any
questions regarding this application, please contact me.
Respectfully,
James T. Cosgrove

Safety RF Emissions- See Attached Report
The FCC regulates RF emissions to ensure public safety. Standards have been set based
on peer-reviewed scientific studies and recommendations from a variety of oversight
organizations, including the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Drug
Administration (FDA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Although the purview of the public safety of RF emissions by the FCC was established by
the Telecommunications Act of 1996, these standards remain under constant scrutiny.
