Title

PWM Inc. / MetroPCS Special Permit (SP-06-59) for a 120 Foot Tall Cellular Communication Tower

Description

A Special Permit for the proposed installation of a cellular communications tower, exceeding the allowed 35-foot height limit in the Agricultural General (AG) zone. The proposed tower will be 120 feet tall. The tower will be a monopole or lattice design (painted dark green) without top lighting. Six panel antennas are proposed to be located at the top of the tower and (no microwave antennas are proposed at this time). Three more sets of panels are proposed to be located on the tower at a future date. The applicant has leased a portion of a 3,600 square foot area on the subject 10 +/- acre parcel which will be reached via a 20 foot wide access easement off of an existing private road which serves the property. The lease area will be surrounded by a 6 foot high chain link fence with barbed wire on top. A concrete slab is proposed to be located at the base of the tower and will contain several cellular equipment cabinets. Other providers will be able to co-locate on this tower and place additional cabinets within the lease area. An RF Report (prepared by Hammett & Edison, April 2007) is on file with the Planning Division and concludes that the proposed tower could accommodate a variety of antennas without exceeding FCC exposure levels. A Building Permit and cumulative RF Study will be required of this applicant and each future provider proposing to co-locate. The +/- 10 acre parcel is currently partially developed with a single family residence, outbuildings, and other miscellaneous improvements.
