I i <br /> The proposed modification to an existing attachment(collocation) on an existing building meets the <br /> requirements for being categorically exempt from SEPA review. <br /> Existing Use <br /> The property is used as a hospital and an existing telecommunication facility. <br /> Access/Circulation <br /> The site will be accessed by the existing right of entry. There are no traffic impacts associated with <br /> these types of facilities as they are unmanned and require infrequent maintenance. <br /> FCC Time Period Guidelines <br /> On November 18, 2009, the FCC issued a Declaratory Ruling(FCC-09-99A1) that created periods <br /> of lime under the Telecommunications Act(TCA) in which zoning authorities must act upon siting <br /> applications filed by wireless carriers or be in violation of the TCA. Specifically,the timelines are as <br /> follows:ninety(90)days for co-locations and one hundred fifty(150)days for all other sites including <br /> new towers. Please see the FCC Declaratory Ruling 09-99A1 for more detailed information. <br /> Federal Requirements <br /> Verizon's proposed telecommunication facility will meet or exceed current standards and regulations <br /> of the FAA,the FCC,and any other agency of the Federal government with the authority to regulate <br /> towers and antennas. <br /> Verizon's site will conform to all FAA/FCC regulations,and because the maximum ERP is less than <br /> two thousand (2,000) watts and/or the height of the facility is greater than ten meters (10m), an <br /> environmental evaluation of radio frequency emissions is exempted per CFR Title 47 Part 24, <br /> Subpart E. <br /> Verizon has a license from the FCC to provide wireless telecommunication services throughout <br /> Washington State. <br /> Verizon Wireless <br /> SEA DT Everett <br /> Page 4 114 <br />
