and voice mail services to name just a few features. The types and features of services that each subscriber desires will be customized to his or her individual needs. Telephone numbers in use in PCS handsets will be assigned specifically to an individual user with a Personal Communications Number (PCN). A PCN will allow the network to track the individual at all times. I have enclosed an article for your review that relates to the general current explanation of the PCS system operation entitled."Understanding the Future Today." (Located in the Red Folder). PCS utilizes the latest digital technology. This will facilitate improved call clarity, but more importantly, clean data communication when using a fax or modem. A PCS customer will be able to communicate through voice and data simultaneously using the same handset without interference to either activity. In addition, computer users will be able to run applications and retrieve data faster from remote locations using their handset. PCS technology also assures less static and fading than current cellular technology and results in fewer dropped calls. New wireless communication technology has developed rapidly in the past few years and the many new applications are vital to industrial, business and personal uses. Business and industry will be seeking out and adapting to these new technologies to remain competitive. Having access to these emerging wireless technologies will be any important part for the success of future business and for the safety/convenience of the personal user. PROPOSED USE We propose to construct a seventy five (75) foot tall free standing monopole with associated antenna and base station equipment at 2801 37h Avenue N.E., Saint Anthony. Both the monopole and associated base station equipment will be located on the north-central portion of the property: The monopole is set-back 15' from the rear property line to the North and several hundred feet from the front and side yard property lines. The proposed monopole location is 143'6" from the existing building. See (Exhibit "C" — Site Plans). No signs or lighting is planned for the proposed PCS facility. The monopole color will be chosen to blend in with the surrounding environment. This cell site will meet both FAA and FCC requirements for this location. Fencing will be provided around the base of the monopole and equipment cabinets. No existing parking spaces will be removed. The foundation for the antenna support system will be a concrete caisson design. The tower steel and foundation will be designed following specifications as determined by the tower manufacturer. The specifications take into account soils, local wind loading guidelines and the type of equipment to be attached to the antenna support system. A safety factor is included in the design parameters resulting in a.pole that typically exceeds local building code requirements. As the monopole engineering and structural report indicates, the antenna support system is manufactured and designed not to collapse. See (Exhibit "D"). A total of six (6) PCS antennas will be mounted on the monopole at 72'-3" and 60' above ground level. The antennas are approximately 5" x 42" x 4" in size. An unmanned prefabricated equipment rack measuring approximately 12' x 9'6" x 6" will be located at the base of the monopole. Three (3) weather resistant cabinets to house equipment used to link the antenna to the telephone network will be placed on the prefabricated rack. See (Exhibit "E" —Equipment Overview). Drainage of the site will not be changed. This site will require a single-phase two hundred (200) amp electrical service and a T1 telephone for utilities.
