The proposed facility is needed to improve service quality, and coverage, to the surrounding area for safety and general communications needs. With development, and visitors, the need for dependable wireless services is vital to support traffic and the surrounding community/businesses. Verizon Wireless will be the initial carrier to locate on the wireless facility, with the capability to support other carriers to collocate in the future. Representing both Sun State Towers, and Verizon Wireless, Pinnacle Consulting Inc has been requested for services in the development of the facility. Working together with the property owner, we request your review of this new proposed site location for the wireless communications facility. Description of the Proposal We are proposing a new 80’, monopalm design, wireless communications facility and 30’x30’x6’ tall CMU wall. Placed in the Northeast corner of a RV storage lot. This site is ideally located near utilities and away from high occupancy areas. Facility access will be through the existing road W. Joe R. Ramirez Rd and utilize the access routes already in place at the proposed parcel. The panel antennas will be located on the monopalm at a centerline elevation of 76’ and grouped into three sectors for full spectrum coverage around the surrounding terrain. Each sector can hold up to four panel antennas and the facility will have lease space for three additional carriers in the future (co- locatable). The construction phase is relatively fast and will be done upon receiving all necessary approvals. Once construction is complete, these unmanned facilities require minimal site visits for service, or maintenance, ensuring little to no impact in the daily activities of the surrounding community. Verizon Wireless could be the first carrier to locate on the facility with equipment housed in a state approved, prefabricated equipment cabinet that will be located on a new concrete pad. Lease space, access, and utility easements will all be specifically described in the site plans and approved by the property owners and zoning. All facility plans will be designed and engineered to meet local guidelines as well as FCC/FAA to ensure compliance and safety. Relationship to the Surrounding Properties The proposed parcel and surrounding are all zoned with the City of El Mirage. The parcel to the South/North/East are zoned El Employment / Industry and the parcel to the West is zone CP Commercial Park. The proposed facility will help to provide adequate coverage to the businesses and residents in the surrounding community. Pinnacle Consulting, Inc 1426 N Marvin St., Suite 101 Gilbert, AZ 85233 Location & Accessibility The proposed facility will be located approximately 825’ from W. Joe R. Ramirez Rd. The site will be accessed via a road(s) already throughout the subject parcel. Circulation System Based on the existing roadways and access, no road improvements will be necessary. We will be entering the proposed parcel via W. Joe R. Ramirez Rd. Once the parcel is entered via the security gate, the in place roadways will be utilized to get to the site location. This proposed Wireless Communication Facility will be unmanned and require minimal site visits. The site will be visited approximately once every 4 weeks. Development Schedule Construction of the proposed wireless communication facility will begin after receiving all necessary City of El Mirage approvals and permits. The construction phase will be approximately 60 days. Community Facilities and Services The proposed location is located in the Dysart Unified School District in the City of El Mirage The closest school is Dysart Middle School and is located approximately 1.3 miles to the Northwest. The closest park is Gateway Park and is located approximately 0.3 miles to the West. Operations Health & Safety Per FCC and FAA guidelines, the facility will be constructed and operated within strict conformance to federal codes. The facility will operate on a 24 hours a day/7 days a week basis with no personnel needed on site. The facility will be connected and monitored by a central switch center to ensure proper functionality. This proposed facility will not emit any light, odor, noise, or pollutants, and should have no major impact on the environment. Safety for the residents and community will be ensured through all regulated measures. Pinnacle Consulting, Inc 1426 N Marvin St., Suite 101 Gilbert, AZ 85233 Public Utilities & Services Power and Telco are the only utilities required by the facility. There are power poles to the Southwest of the proposed parcel. We will coordinate with local utilities for necessary approvals. Closing Statement In evaluating the local area, Sun State Towers and Verizon Wireless have determined that there are no co-location options or more suitable locations available. As required, we will submit all necessary information for zoning and building approvals when ready to move forward. Please review the site plans included for more project information and site details to support the request. Thank you and we appreciate your time in reviewing our project. This proposed wireless communications facility is vital to support the demands of the wireless network along frequently traveled roads to the growing communities/businesses nearby. Using the most innovative technology, we aim to improve the surrounding wireless coverage while placing the facility in the least obtrusive space possible.
