Specifically This permit application requests approval for the construction of one 140' 3 legged lattice tower with approximately an 18' base and the proper FAA clearance. (Please see attached photo of typical tower.) The tower will hold four (4) PCS wireless carriers panel antenna (9 panel antenna each). The typical size of panel antenna are 6' tall by 8" wide. The towers will also hold one (1) paging company's antenna consisting of 3 whip antenna. Space will also be available for 8 microwave dishes. Each set of PCS and paging antenna must be spaced approximately 10' apart for clearance. CSD is leasing approximately 5000 square feet of property from the earlier mentioned property owner for the location of this tower as well as any/all accompanying radio cabinets/huts that these future carriers will require space for. This also includes space for vehicle maintenance access. The entire area will be secured by a 6' chain link fence topped with three strands of barb wire for the protection of the carriers equipment. A propane back- up generator will be installed for emergency power on one of the existing equipment pads. The required utilities will be brought in from the nearest available source. Access and easement issues have been approved by the property owner. No public utilities such as water or sewer are necessary for the operation of this site. This site will be an unmanned service facility and will be serviced approximately once a month by maintenance technicians (1-2 hours). Construction of the lattice tower will take approximately 6 weeks and each carrier's installation of antenna will take 3-5 days. CSD will be responsible for managing the site, ensuring that all of the safety requirements are met. CSD will comply with all of the local, state and federal safety requirements imposed on new tower facilities. The towers will be purchased from a local California Company and will be installed by a local construction firm. Benefits of a CSD Communications Tower Site: • Local jurisdiction will process fewer requests for towers. • As a third party,CSD will be able to facilitate the co-location of many wireless communications carriers onto one site rather than several sites. (Colocation is often offered to the planning departments but is seldom seen due to the competitive nature of the industry, the expense of retrofitting an existing pole, lack of leased ground space, etc..) • Carriers will benefit by gaining time and saving money, and therefore will be able to provide service to the local customers sooner. • The site will potentially provide enhanced emergency response for police, fire and paramedic services in the area. • Local,State and Federal emergency services will be encouraged to locate on the towers.
