CONCLUSION New 'wireless communicaions technology has d,veloped rapidly in the past few years and many new "pplications are vital to industrial and business uses. Business and industry are seeking out and adr:pting to these new technologies to remain competitive as the new Information Highway beco. ,:e,s a reality. Having access to these emerging wireless technolcgies will be an impoNnnt amen,i.~/for the success of future business development. Thts ",cility will enhance public safety and welihre because it will enabla U S West Wireless to brinr~ Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless technology to the area. CDMA tec!~ ,Iogy, which did no£ exist four years ago, _.,iow is considered the leading wireless access reel" :logy in the industry. The ability to tran:;~::~it data such as fax, paging and computer data tra.......~!~sion will open a whole new way of communicating by busi:,~e:s, individuals and gove~-,f:ent services. Po!i ~.~ can use CDMA wireless fax machines to. give them the abili .ty t~, obm,n ihster search warrm,tz when illegal actkSty is observed without leaving the scene. Fi~<fiahters can receive fa-ed blueprints of a building in route to fight fires more safely. Aml ~! noes can use it to transmit vital data to ~mergency rooms, wi:ich allow the emerge,:~y room'~ "o be better prepared to receive injured accident victims. Additic'~ally, CDMA enccqng wiI? ,,irtuaIly eliminate 'fi~e possibility of phone number cloning and c~,!t number theft. I appr~,ciate all of the assistance I have receivec, from the Zoning St:;ff and look forward to worki~g with you to pro~,ide CDMA PCS eellu'ar capability to your area. I respectfully request that *biz application be placed on the December 7, 1999 Planning Commission meeting agenda. I will ':,,~ present at the hearing to answer any questions or concerns that the commission or public may have. In the meantime, if there are any questions or concerns I can be reached at (612) 309- 9490.
