Thamar Wherritt/American Tower Corporation Use Permit

The applicants request approval for a Use Permit to construct an unstaffed wireless communications site. American Tower Corporation builds wireless communications towers and leases antenna space to carriers. The proposed project includes constructing a single 150-foot high metal lattice tower that would support 12 panel antennas, and up to five equipment shelters. All the facilities would be within the 10,000 square foot (80 feet x 125 feet) fenced lease area on the site. At build-out, four sets of antennas would be mounted at intervals between 104 feet and 150 feet on the tower. A lightening rod would extend an additional eight feet above the top of the 150-foot tower. No microwave antennas would be installed at the site. The project also includes minor grading to improve the existing access road, and installing underground electrical power lines within the roadbed from Timber Hill Drive up the dirt road to the site. No propane tank or generator is proposed. Only one low-wattage, manually controlled light would be allowed on each equipment shelter. The facility would not be continuously lighted.
