From speaking with you, it will require Cingular Wireless to gain a Conditional Use Permit to allow for construction of the monopole tower and antennas. In addition, the City of Little Canada has an ordinance pertaining to towers and antennas (Section 903.140). I have outlined below how we propose to alleviate any preliminary concerns or issues the City of Little Canada may have regarding our tower project. • Effect of suck grant on the Ixealth, general welfare, safety and economic prosperity of the City and of the imz~zediate area in which such use would be located: The establishment, maintenance, and operation of a wireless communications facility will neither be detrimental to nor endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or genera] welfare because Cingular complies with the health and safety standards of the Federal Communications Connnission (FCC). The FCC requires all Personal Communications Service Providers Yo meet strict standards set by independent safety and standard groups, namely the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Institute of Electrical acid Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The wireless communications tower and shelter will not impede the normal/orderly development/improvement of the sun-ounding property because the facility will be secured in a six (6) foot chain link fence with three (3) strands of barbed wire. Also, Cingular's equipment shelter has a low profile design and will not physically interfere with development. In addition, Cingulaz's antennas operate on a specific frequency licensed by the FCC, therefore, the proposed location will not cause electromagnetic interference with other wireless providers, police, fire, or emergency communications, or any nearby televisions or radios. • Effect oz2 the established character and quality of the area, its physical attractiveness, the zuovement of traffic, the demand for related services, the possible hazardous, lxarnafid noxiozts, offensive, or nzcisazxce effects resulting from noise, dust, smoke, or odor and other factors: There is adequate ingress/egress off of Spruce SCreet for Cingular's initial construction and maintenance phases. Access to the tower site will not create traffic congestion in public streets. Cingular's facility is un-manned, therefore the proposed use and development will neither cause traffic congestion nor draw signifcant amormts of traffic through public streets. Once construction is complete, visits are typically made to the site once every two months to perfoi7n routine maintenance. There will be no possible harmful, noxious, offensive, or nuisance effects resulting from noise, dust, smoke, or odor and other factors by the placement of the wireless communications tower.
