11.2 T-Mobile USA Requests a Site Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit for a Wireless Communications Facility to be collocated on the Approved 65 Foot Tall (Verizon Wireless) Monopine at the Westwind Barn Property; Lands of Los Altos Hills; 27210 Altamont Road (File #121-06-ZP- SD-CUP) (CEQA Review: Categorical Exemption per Section 15301(a)) Planning Director Debbie Pedro introduced this item to Council. Before Council for their consideration was a request from T-Mobile for a Site Develoment Permit and Conditional Use Permit subject to recommended conditions and findings of approval. The application called for the proposed antenna to be collocated on the previously approved Verizon Wireless treepole at Westwind Barn. Staff was recommending approval. Pedro proceeded with a PowerPoint presentation of the application that included: a site plan identifying the location of the treepole, equipment enclosure and barn; T-Mobile antennas elevation on the Verizon treepole (48'); schematic of the enlarged equipment cabinet to accommodate T-Mobile; picture of proposed concrete block equipment unit; tree stumps to be removed and replaced by the project's treepole; and, text of an additional recommended condition of approval. Pedro noted that even though neither application called for the installation of a generator, the Planning Commission had recommended that the equipment unit be modified to reduce any potential noise from the equipment. The unit had been redesigned to include concrete block walls on all four sides and foam pads on the interior walls. Pedro reviewed that additional condition noting that it had been inadvertently left off of the staff report. The condition read: "4a. Not later than thirty (30) days after installation and initial operation of the antenna facility, and on or prior to January 1St of each year thereafter, testing of radio frequency emissions shall be conducted by qualified professionals and the reports of such testing shall be provided in writing to the Planning Department, with a comparison of applicable Federal emission standards. If at any time the emission levels are shown not to comply with Federal standards, the use permit shall be scheduled for a revocation hearing before the Planning Commission. Pedro identified several special recommended conditions for the project that included a landscape in lieu fee to cover the cost of landscape screening for the equipment unit and the removal of the existing tree stump and replacement of the pine tree that was removed. In response to a question from Council, Pedro offered that the building permit for the Verizon project had been issued by the Town and the expectation was for construction to begin by the end of September and require approximately two months to complete. Chad Abbot, applicant representative, thanked staff for the cohesive summary of the project and offered that he was available to answer any questions. He noted that the T- Mobile antennas would be collocated on the Verizon treepole and would require no aesthetic changes to the previously approved project. Mayor Pro Tem Jones queried Abbott on T-Mobiles market share and service to the Town. Abbott offered that they are currently in an expansive phase and are not providing 12 City Council Meeting Minutes September 14,2006
