NVI_----RICAN <br />TOW----R <br /> <br />November 16, 2000 <br /> <br />City of Ramsey <br />Planning Department: ATTN Sylvia <br />15 i53 Nowthen Boulevard NW <br />Ramsey, kin 55303 <br /> <br />RE: Revised CUT' Application materials for a 175' Sell-Supporting Communications Tower <br /> <br />Dear Sylvia: <br /> <br />Enclosed are the revised materials that you requested. We have included a landscaping plan with our site plan/tower <br />drawings and have provided you with propagation maps from three (3) different sites. Those sites include our <br />proposed site on the Volk property (Map A), the 180' Self-Support Tower to the West (Map B), and the water tower <br />that's being currently be constructed to the North of the Volk property (Map C). As you can see on Map B, co- <br />locating on the e~sting tower to the West leave a significant hole in the coverage area. Although the water tower <br />site has similar coverage to our proposed tower on the Volk property, there are several reasons why the water tower <br />site is no._At a primary option for Ver/zon Wire[ess. Two of the main reasons are: <br /> <br />1.) Since Verizon plar~ on co-locating on an existing City of Ramsey water tower located near the intersection of <br />County Road 47 & County Road 5, locating on the furore water tower off Ramsey Bird (Letter C) would cause a <br />potential overlap in coverage with these two (2) sites. <br /> <br />2.) Verizon needs their coverage gaps to be filled as soon as possible (January, 2001). Since the water tower will <br />not be f'mished until at least July of 2001 (per Steve lanchowski / Public Works Dept), this timeline is not suitable <br />for Verizon <br /> <br />Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing this application. As far as the Self-Support <br />Tower vs. the Monopole Tower desig-n, we are proposing the Setf-&tpport Tower because it will hold <br />more carriers and the carriers will have more options (location and height of antennas) on a Self-Support <br />Tower. If you should have any questions or concerns about this proposal or need any further information, <br />please feel free to contact me at (763)-493-0027 ext. 241 or (612)-670-0101. Thanks again and we look <br />forward to working with you on this application. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Jason Hall <br />American Tower <br />Senior Zoning Representative <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION · 9472 HEMLOCK LANE NORTH, IvlAPL~ GROVE, MINNESOTA 55369 · 612/493-0027 · FAX 612/493-0036 <br />-154- <br /> <br /> <br />
