demonstrates that such a facility in the proposed location and at such a height is <br />necessary to adequately senre the needs of the public for the proposed utility or <br />communications service. <br />(I) The Planning Director may require review by an expert tliird party. <br />18. Many of the Specific Evaluation criteria are addressed in the General Evaluation <br />criteria. (exhibit 1) <br />19. Because the proposed antennas will be located on the pole, there is no need to <br />build additional cellular communication towers for this particular service. (Siddiq <br />testimony) <br />20. The Applicant conducted a review of potential sites for collocation. Upon its <br />review, the Applicant determined that the best location available was the <br />proposed one. The terrain, lack of potential collocation sites, relation to existing <br />wireless facilities in the network, and ratio frequency were factors in determining <br />that this is the best site. (exhibit 1, Siddiq testimony) <br />21. The existing pole is approximately 67 feet in height. This height does not allow <br />the Appiicant to satisfy radio frequency requirements for a clear line of site to <br />other facilities. With the increased height of approximately 30 feet, there will be a <br />clear line of site established. (exhibit 1J <br />22. Due to the line of site technology of the application, it is not feasible or practical <br />to require underground antennas or underground equipment: (exhibit 1) <br />23. The 95 foot high wood pols is the lowest heiyht possible to adequately provide <br />for the needs of the customers and the public for the wireless service. (exhibit 1, <br />Siddiq testimony) <br />24. No new tower is proposed, and the equipment shelter satisfies setback <br />requirements of C-1 Zones. (Siddiq testimony) <br />2�. The Applicant submitted that it will comply with removal of the facility if the <br />ApplicanYs use of the site is discontinued for 120 days or more. (Spencer <br />testimnnyJ <br />26. The Applicant indicated that, if necessary, other facilities may collocate on-site. <br />(Spencer testimony) <br />27. The proposed facility does not require safety lights by the FAA, and the Applicant <br />must comply with all other FAA requirements for the operation of the facility. The <br />project will not require an independent technical analysis. (exhibit 1) <br />
