T-Mobile 6409(a) Minor Modification Application Narrative Project Site Name: SE01510A Downtown Everett-Wall Applicant: Lynx Consulting for T-Mobile ATTN:Jennifer Taylor 17311 135`"Ave NE Suite A100 Woodinville,WA 98072 (206) 228-2127 jtaylor@lynxconsulting.org Property Owner: City of Everett Parcel Number: 00644968301801 Address: 2930 Wetmore Ave Everett WA 98201 PROJECT DESCRIPTION T-Mobile currently operates a wireless communication facility located on the rooftop of the Everett City Hall building. The City is completing rooftop and HVAC upgrades that will affect the wireless facility by blocking antennas. T-Mobile proposes minor modifications to the rooftop installation to retain functionality of the site. This includes relocating one sector of antennas to another location on the rooftop and extending one sector of antennas in height. As landlord to T-Mobile, the City requested the modifications be completed by January. T-Mobile and Lynx are requesting an expedited permit review to accommodate this deadline. This application is submitted pursuant to Section 6409(a) of the Federal Spectrum Act and Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") rules. Section 6409(a) mandates that state and local governments must approve any eligible facilities request for the modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base station. Below are the FCC's six "substantial change" thresholds for a wireless base station site, each followed by an explanation how this application does not exceed that threshold: 1) It increases the height of the structure by more than 10% or more than ten feet,whichever is greater. The proposed extended antenna tip height is an additional two feet at 151' overall and overall is still extending less than ten feet from the top of the penthouse structure at 1424". See Sheet A3.1 of the submitted plan set. 2) It involves adding an appurtenance to the body of the structure that would protrude from the edge of the structure by more than six feet. No part of the modification will extend six feet or more from the building structure. See Sheet A2.1 of the submitted plan set.
