Proposed Use The proposed communication facility will consist of a 100-foot above grade self support monopole tower and a related equipment platform,all located within a 15-foot by 30-foot fenced compound. Directional panel antennas will be attached at the top of this tower,and a four-foot lightning rod will extend above the tower(for a total height of 104 feet above grade)for electrical protection. This tower will be able to be collocated on by up to two additional users. T-Mobile proposes to install an equipment platform to house related electronic equipment within the fenced compound surrounding the communication tower site. The equipment platform is a grated,steel platform raised off the ground to allow snow and rain to fall through and not build up next to the utility cabinets. T-Mobile Central will attach transmit and receive antennae to the tower. No additional tower lighting or advertising will be attached to the tower or site. Access to the facility is provided by an existing driveway on the subject site. Please refer to the enclosed plans(Exhibit B)for reference to the design of this site. Purpose of the Proposed Use T-Mobile Central provides a state-of-the-art digital wireless telecommunications service called Personal Communications Services(PCS)throughout the greater metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St.Paul,as well as throughout the United States. Development of T-Mobile Central's infrastructure began in 1996,and has continued to grow over the past several years.
