Techn®l%y w-mocietes <br />RESPONSE: To meet the "as attractive as the nature of the use and its location and <br />setting warrant" requirement, the Applicant has re-designed the antenna array to provide <br />more stealthing of the facilities. The new configuration, as show on site plans and in <br />photo simulations, reduces the number of antennas from a total of 12 to 6 (2 antennas <br />per sector) with a shorter 3' antenna frame and a shorter stand off from the pole, so the <br />proposed antennas will more closely "hug" the pole, further concealing it within the <br />branches. In addition, the Applicant is proposes landscaping around the base of the pole <br />as well as the building extension that will house the ancillary equipment to promote as <br />attractive an environment as possible that blends in with the existing buildings, flora and <br />mature trees on the subject property as well as the surrounding neighborhood. <br />7. 9.5750 Telecommunication Devices-Siting Requirements and Procedures. <br />(6) Application Requirements. <br />(a) Construction of Transmission Tower. In addition to standard <br />required application material, an applicant for a transmission <br />tower shall submit the following information; additional <br />application material is required, as specified in paragraph (c) <br />below, for applications requiringa site review orconditional <br />use process: <br />1. A description of the proposed tower location, design and <br />height. <br />The photo simulations are inconsistent with the plans regarding the tower design and <br />the landscaping. <br />RESPONSE: The proposed monopine is a total of 75' tall, the pole itself and antenna tip <br />height is 70' and then we have added an additional 5' of branches to the top to resemble <br />the tapering of a natural pine tree. The antenna configuration has been revised from the <br />initial application and Applicant has reduced the number of panel antennas from 12 to 6 <br />to bring them closer into the pole and provide greater concealment.
