We have enclosed an authorization <br />letter from the landowner that grants US West Wireless authority to present this <br />application on their behalf. see (Exhibit B). <br /> <br />US West Wireless has been granted a license by the Federal Communications <br />Commission (FCC) and has been providing PCS service to the metro area since July of <br />1998. To fulfill its mandate from the FCC, US West Wireless has constructed a grid of <br />antenna throughout its service area. These facilities are spaced, depending on certain <br />technical and geographical variables, at intervals ranging from 1/4 mile to six (6) miles <br />and at a height of approximately fifty (50) to one hundred sixty (160) feet above ground <br />level. It is expected that as more "fill in" facilities are developed, the average antenna <br />heights will be between fifty (50) and eighty (80) feet. <br /> <br />The intent of the deployed system is to provide PCS service to all Twin City area <br />communities. Since US West Wireless intends to utilize PCS as an affordable Wireless <br />Local Loop service, coverage at the neighborhood level is essential (unlike Cellular, <br />which is typically a higher-cost mobile service). After several months ofinvestigation,r <br />we have determined that the proposed facility location at 2851 Snelling Avenue North <br />best meets the engineering requirements ofthe U S West Wireless PCS network while <br />being extremely low impact to the community. <br /> <br />We believe that US West Wireless is offering to construct the most visually acceptable <br />UmSnorles of any of the present providers ofPCS service.
