does not interfere with neighboring cells. An important feature in addition to this Iow power is that no ionizing radiation is created by this type of emission. There are no activities associated with this use which would produce airborne emissions, odor, vibration, heat, glare, radioactive materials, or loud noises. All equipment and materials needed to operate the site are located within the equipment cabinets, including heating, ventilating, and air conditioning provisions. Since the site does not have water or sanitary facilities, it will generate no waste water. Current levels of all public facilities and services are adequate to meet any needs of this use. This site will act to enhance public safety and welfare because it will enable APT to bring PCS technology to the city of Ramsey. The advantages to the business or individual using a PCS phone will be clear to them. But PCS can also aid those who do not choose to own a portable phone. Police officers are aided in their public safety efforts by being able to use PCS wireless fax machines to obtain immediate information about potential suspects. Firefighters can receive faxed blueprints of a building, while en route, to more safely and quickly fight fires. Ambulances can transmit vital data to hospitals, allowing for more personalized preparation of emergency rooms to meet the needs of their patients. At spill sites, hazardous material information can be obtained by accessing computer databases throughout the country. Stranded motorists without mobile phones benefit from passing motorists who are able to call for help. These are just a few examples of how the PCS technology can work to enhance public safety and welfare. Enclosed please find a completed application for CUP, two (2) copies of the site plan, one (1) copy of the site plan reduced to 8 ~" x 11", a letter of intent to allow co-location on this tower, design specifications for a 165 foot monopole tower which show structural integrity and capacity for additional users, a portion of the signed lease with the property owner requiring APT to remove its equipment and tower upon cessation of use, and a check in the amount of three hundred and seventy-five dollars ($375). APT respectfully requests that this proposal be placed on the Planning Commission Agenda for August 5, 1997. APT looks forward to working with you to provide PCS wireless capability in the city of Ramsey. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Michelle R. Johnson Zoning Coordinator, Cellular Realty Advisors, Inc., on behalf of APT 833-4083 (office)
