13. LANDS OF LOS ALTOS HILLSpp A licant: T-Mobile) 26379 Fremont Road; <br /> ( <br /> File #92-10-CUP; A request for a Conditional Use Permit for a wireless <br /> communication facility consisting of three (3) new panel antennas to be co-located <br /> on an existing 70' tall monopine and a 184 square foot addition to an existing <br /> storage/cutting shed on the property to enclose the associated ground equipment. <br /> CEQA Review: Categorical Exemption per Section 15301 (a) (Staff: D. Pedro) <br /> Planning Director Debbie Pedro introduced the item to Council. She provided an overview <br /> of the application. The proposed T-Mobile wireless communication facility was to be <br /> located at Town Hall. The applicant was requesting to collocate on the existing 70 foot <br /> tall monopine with AT&T wireless, Verizon and the Town's Emergency Communications <br /> Committee's antennas. <br /> Pedro proceeded with a PowerPoint presentation that included: a vicinity map of the town <br /> hall site and neighboring properties; a town hall site plan; an enlarged site plan that <br /> included an illustration of the proposed addition to the equipment shed; elevation of the <br /> monopine that include the location of the antennas; photo simulations of the existing and <br /> proposed antennas on the monopine; and text of the requested clarification on the <br /> Planning Commission's recommended Conditions of Approval. <br /> Council Questions: <br /> Councilmember Mordo requested clarification on the level of radiation that would be <br /> emitted from the addition of another wireless facility to the existing monopine. He <br /> • questioned if the radiation was cumulative and if the addition of the new facility would <br /> exceed the recommended level of emissions. <br /> Planning Director Pedro reviewed the radio frequency (RF) analysis for the project that <br /> had been submitted by the consulting engineers. The report concluded that the proposed <br /> wireless service along with the existing service (AT&T, ECC and Verizon) would be in <br /> compliance with the FCC exposure standards. <br /> Councilmember Summit asked if the monopine would now be considered "full". Pedro <br /> acknowledged that she had received an inquiry from Clearwire but she was unsure if its <br /> microwave dish could be accommodated. <br /> City Manager Cahill explained that the carriers would enter into a lease with the Town for <br /> their ground equipment that would support their wireless facility on the monopine. <br /> Location on the tree would be negotiated with AT&T. <br /> Emergency Communications Committee member Ray Egan acknowledged that the <br /> committee supported the proposal. <br /> OPENED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Resident, Snell Court, questioned if the appearance of the tree could be improved. <br /> 4 Approved City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br /> October 21,2010 <br />
