Oroville, CA 95965
Applicant: Vertical Bridge
Property Owner: Bill and Carla Artamenko
Property Address: 1491 Lower Honcut Road, Oroville, CA 95966
APN: 072-0330-009
RE: Wireless Application Package – CUP - VB-CA-5437
Vertical Bridge seeks the requisite approvals for the building permit to install a new
telecommunications facility at the parcel with APN number: 072-0330-009. The proposal
consists of the installation of a 100’ mono-pine wireless communications facility. Your
relevant forms, submittal requirements, and the applicable fees are 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 September 8, 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 September 8, 2023. If you have
any questions regarding this application, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Maree Hoeger

Project Objectives
To provide coverage in this area of the city, any combination or one of the following reasons may
apply:
• Coverage: No Service in the area (Indoor, Outdoor or Vehicular) and can apply
specifically to the type of service provided (Voice or Data – 3G, 4G, 5G). Specifically,
this proposed location addresses the following needs –
o In-building Commercial – Subscriber anticipated to have accessibility to improved
service while indoors within the city's commercially used spaces.
o In-building – Subscriber anticipated to have accessibility to service while even
indoors (i.e. residential homes) at lower performance levels.
o In-vehicle- Subscriber anticipated to have accessibility to service while inside of
vehicle.
o Outdoor – Subscriber anticipated to have accessibility to improved service while
outdoors.
• Capacity: Proposed service in surrounding areas would be insufficient to meet anticipated
demand by customers in and traversing through the area. Furthermore, proposed facilities
servicing the surrounding area will be overloaded, preventing service, dropped calls or
complete denial of service during peak usage hours. Below are coverage maps reflecting
before and after coverage once the site is installed. SC60554 refers to the subject site.
