Based Ul:-,, our analysis we cc.~clude that: 1. There are no ct~er suitable existiv ~ :tructures _within % :?~ile of the propo:~-, location. 2. The site proi. ~ ::M by USWWis higher than many 0f..fl~?~tes ConstrUcted b): +~-~is applicant in the Twin Ci*:-:s metro area. The 5.~.sis for the' prol~:~t height of 180' 1: zrrnits USWW to provide conE.:;uous coverage with o~her sites already co?tructed or approved. ~ .*otc, however, the proposed site is dissimilar to othe;s established by thc applicant at lower t~zights in that sites with lower antennas are primarily i:~ing built closer to '2~e core of the servize area. 3. If the height cf the monopole is r~uced, it is unlikely that USWWwii1 be able to achieve their coverage objectives without adding additional, more closely spaced, sites. Given more time, we would typically complete a more comprehensive analysis but in this instance we are working against the deadline of the City Planning Commission Meeting. Sincerely yours, W.M.
