Telephone (612) 825-6399 January 4, 2000 Ms. Megan Barnett City of Ramsey Community Development 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N'.V Ramsey, MN 55303 VIA FAX 612-427-5543 Page i of 1 Re: Proposed Construction of US West Wireless (USWW) Communications Monopole Dear Ms. Barnett: At your request, we have undertaken a review of the materials which you furnished pertaining to the application for a 180' communication monopole to be located at 17515 St. Francis Boulevard NW. Based upon our analysis we conclude that: 1, There are no other ~.2itable e.'dsting structures within IA. nile of the proposed location. 2. The site proposed 1:: USWW is higher than many of thc ,ires constructed by this applicant in the Twin Cities metro area. The basis for the proposed height of I80' permits USWW to provide contiguous coverage with other sites already constructed or approved. Note, however, the proposed site is dissimilar to others established by the applicant at lower heights in that sites with lower antennas are primarily being built closer to the core of the service area. 3. If the height of the monopole is reduced, it is unlikely that USWWwill 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.
