characteristic of the proposed site is the new antenna assemble located at the top of the monopole. The antennas are located in an unobtrusive cylinder measuring a fraction of the diameter of other carrier designs. Please take time to review the site drawings and renderings enclosed as (Exhibit C & D). PROPOSED USE: US West Wireless is proposing to replace an existing 35 foot light standard with a 67 foot galvanized steel monopole in the parking lot of the Countryside Restaurant in Roseville. The light fixture is to be reattached to the new pole at the current level. At the base of the pole is a lease area of approximately 12' x 16' to locate the associated ground equipment for the US West Facility. This equipment is from Lucent Technologies and has a relatively small footprint of four feet wide, ten feet long, and five feet tall. This site will require single phase, 208 volt, 100-amp electrical service and aT 1 phone line for utilities. The monopole and accessory equipment will be located in the southwestern portion of the underlying parcel. This parcel measures approximately 275' by 150' and is typical of those in the area. The parcel has an unusual number of mature trees in its large undeveloped western side. These trees, along with the additional plantings shown in Exhibit C, uniquely qualify this property to provide a high level of screening. The setbacks for the installation are all met with the nearest property line being approximately 60 feet to the south of the facility. The proposed facility is zoned B-2 and joined on thee sides by other business zoned parcels. To the west is Roseville park property. This buffering from residential areas along with the existing mature vegetation on the property will act to minimize any visual impact the relatively short 67-foot facility may otherwise have. The facility is unmanned and creates negligible heat, noise, vibration, pollution and traffic. Drainage to the parcel will not be altered. There is no fencing proposed for the facility as the cabinets are self- contained and locked much like cable boxes or traffic light switching boxes. This facility will enhance public safety and welfare because it will enable US West Wireless to enhance its Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless technology to the area. CDMA technology, which did not exist ten years ago, now is considered the leading wireless access technology in the industry. The ability to transmit data such as fax, paging and computer data transmission will open a whole new way of communicating by business, individuals and government services. Police can use CDMA wireless fax machines as part of their drug enforcement program to obtain immediate search warrants when illegal activity is observed without leaving the scene. Firefighters can receive faxed blueprints of a building in route to fight fires more safely. Ambulances can use it to transmit vital data to emergency rooms, which allow the emergency rooms to be better prepared to receive injured accident victims. Motorists will have greater flexibility of wireless phone choices, which will allow them more security in placing
