Document Description
The project is a use permit application to allow the construction, operation, and maintenance of a commercial wireless telecommunication facility within a 30-foot by 30-foot ground lease area. The lease area would be graded and improved with a gravel bed and be enclosed by 8-foot-tall chain link fence with an 8-foot-wide access gate for security. Improvements proposed within the lease area include a 100-foot-tall monopine tower with 3 tri-sector antenna mounts. One of the three sectors would be constructed with the tower. It would include eight (8) panel antennas, one (1) microwave dish (MW), six (6) remote radio units (RRUs), and associated ancillary and ground equipment. The remaining two sectors and surplus ground lease space would be reserved for future carriers to co-locate at the facility. Improvements outside the fenced area would include a PG&E transformer, overhead fiber optic lines, approximately 7,040-feet of utility trenching within two proposed Verizon Wireless non-exclusive underground utility easements, and resurfacing of an existing 14-foot-wide, approximately 560-foot long, dirt driveway, including an all-weather surface overlay from Cashew Way to the lease area. Grading and excavation of footings will be necessary to construct the tower. Construction equipment will include a concrete mixer, grading equipment, a crane to install the tower, and common equipment used for building construction. The 900-square-foot lease area is within an existing approximately 13,500-square-foot area that has been previously graded and cleared of vegetation.
