Based upon our analysis we conclude that: <br /> <br /> 1. There are no other suitable existing structures .w. ithin )A mile Of the p.r. op0sed location. <br />2. The site proposed by USWW is higher than :many 0f.the.sites consLructed by this applicant in <br /> the Twin Cities metro area. The basis for the prOposed height of 180' permits USWW to <br /> provide contiguous coverage with other sites already constructed or approved. Note, however, <br /> the proposed site is dissimilar to others established by the applicant at lower heights in that sites <br /> with lower antennas are primarily being built closer to the core of the service area. <br />3. If the height of the monopole is reduced, it is unlikely that USWWwill be able to achieve their <br /> coverage objectives without adding additional, more closely spaced, sites. <br /> <br />Given more time, we would typically complete a more comprehensive analysis but in this instance <br />we are working against the deadline of the City Planning Commission Meeting. <br /> <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> W.M.
