Location of Existing 
Wireless Facility

Existing Conditions 
 
Verizon’s existing wireless communication facility is currently designed as a stealth flagpole 
with split RAD centers. The equipment used for the 5G technology will no longer fit within the 
canister of the flagpole so Verizon Wireless would like to place a alter the existing design to 
resemble a Monopine at 360 S Twelve Oaks Blvd. The parcel is currently zoned (School) and is 
surrounded by other parcels zoned PAD (residential).  
 
Nature of Request 
 
Verizon Wireless proposes replace the existing wireless communication facility currently 
disguised as a flagpole with faux pine tree. Verizon required the rad center of the antenna to be at 
56 feet, a lower rad center would not cover the objective area, requiring multiple facilities in the 
immediate residential area.   The proposed Monopine (56’ top of pole) will match natural pine 
trees in the immediate area. Coax cables will be routed within the trunk of the pine, while the 
antennas and remote radios heads will be located in the branches, painted to match. Associated 
equipment will remain in place. 
 
The proposed alteration of the existing wireless facility will allow two (2) additional carriers to 
collocate on the proposed Monopine. Technicians will utilize existing parking spaces while 
accessing the site. No existing vegetation will be removed in this proposal. 
 
Colocation Study 
 
Collocating on existing structures is a priority for Verizon; we would like to modify the existing 
wireless facility to create a site to accommodate additional carriers. Below is an inventory of all 
structures tall enough within 1 mile radius of the proposed site that can accommodate a wireless 
facility. However, please note Verizon is modifying an existing site and is not looking for a 
location to place a new facility nor relocate the existing facility. 
 
#1 Existing Flag pole: PHO Twelve Oaks. Upgrading the existing wireless facility as designed is 
not possible with the restriction on the existing flag pole canister. If upgraded the stealth flag 
pole would resemble a lamp shade. The proposed alteration of the existing wireless facility will 
allow two (2) additional carriers to collocate on the proposed Monopine.

Conclusion 
 
It is the goal of Verizon Wireless to service the area with more reliable cellular service. By 
working with the landlord to modify the existing facility, Verizon is proposing the best possible 
coverage solution (from an appearance standpoint).  As the area grows, residents in the 
immediate area will need reliable cellular service. The proposed wireless communication facility 
will not increase the vehicular or pedestrian traffic; nor will it emit odor, dust, gas, noise, 
vibration, smoke, heat, glare or lower property values in the immediate area. Approving this 
application will allow Verizon to continue providing the best service to its customers.
