Document Description
In an effort to provide quality communication services to business and visitors to the March JPA jurisdiction and surrounding community, Dish Wireless is proposing to construct a rooftop wireless communication facility. The proposed project consists of a rooftop wireless communications facility, behind the northeast corner parapet of Hotel A. The project will include installation of six (6) antennas and twelve (12) remote radio units (RRU), 1 equipment cabinet, associated surge suppression devices, fiber and power cables. The project will also include the construction of a parapet extension made of fiberglass reinforced plastic. The extension would add an additional 3’-10” to the northeast corner parapet, resulting in a new height of 47’-5”. The extended parapet will be painted to match the existing building color. The proposed antennas and equipment will not be seen behind the extended parapet. The proposed project will be developed within an approximate 708 square foot area on the rooftop of Hotel A. The tower facility will be unmanned, excluding occasional visits for routine service/maintenance.
