C10, Thornton, CO 80229 O) (303) 566-9929 mhatter@tepgroup.net Atlas Tower 3002 Bluff St., Suite 300 Boulder, CO 80301 Subject: Hunt Hwy – Balloon Test To whom it may concern, Tower Engineering Professionals, Inc. (TEP), on behalf of Atlas Tower completed a Visual Impact Assessment for a proposed 65-ft AGL (69-ft AGL overall) stealth monopine communications tower to be located at 6240 Sunbird Blvd., within the City of Chandler, within Maricopa County, Arizona (Maricopa County Parcel #30357984). The proposed tower is located at latitude: N 33° 12’ 46.76”, longitude: W 111° 48’ 39.59” (NAD 83). On April 28, 2023, TEP personnel deployed an approximately 5.5-ft diameter orange CloudBuster balloon at 69-ft AGL (to top of balloon) from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. MST. The weather at the time of the balloon flight was clear, with adequate visibility, incidences of 5 to 7-mph wind gusts, and a temperature of approximately 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. During the balloon test, photographs were taken from pre-determined publicly accessible locations in order to determine what (if any) visual impact the proposed stealth monopine tower may have on the surrounding areas. Photographs were taken by Sophie O’Neill of TEP with a Kodak PixPro AZ252 camera. Utilizing four (4) photographs, TEP completed two (4) pictorial representations (photo simulations) to simulate the view of the proposed stealth monopine tower. Attached is the photograph location map and the pictorial representations (photo simulations) of the proposed tower. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding this report. Sincerely, Marcus Hatter Environmental Scientist Tower Engineering Professionals, Inc.
