7601 RIDGEWOOD DR A T AND T WIRELESS ANTENNAS 2018-01-01 MF Import

f Conclusion: This project will not adversely impact the surrounding residential 12nd ��ses. 2. Antennas associated with above ground utility of communication fa�:ilities shall be iocated on existing or replacement towers or structures to the maximum extent technically feaslble to discourage the proliferetion of tower structures. Findin : The antennas are located on a BPA ulility pole, thus eliminating the need to build a new tower. Conclusion: By locating on a utility pole, this project eliminates the need to build a new freastanding tower. 3. Tawer structures for above ground utility and/or communications facilities shall not be located ir or within 300 feet of residentially zones areas. Finding; This is an existing wireless communication facilily which is being relocated to an existing BPA utility pole. Conclusion: This is not a tower structure 4. When tower structures for above�round utility andlor communications facilities are proposed to be located within 300 feet of residentially zoned areas, in or within 200 feet of gateway corridors as designat5d by the Everett Comprehensive Plan, or in or within 200 feet or areas under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Master Program,zones which otherwise require Review Procc+ss II shall use Review Process III. Findin : The proposed project is located in an R-3 zone and is subjecl to Section 41.150.0 and Subsection 41.150.D.i.c (Special Property Use Permits) of the Everett Municipal Code. Conclusion: Pursuant to the requirements of Re�diew Process II, a Notice of Decision will be issued to property owners within 300 (eet of the subject site. A 14-day appeals period will be effeciive from the date of issuance. 5. All utility and communication facilities shall be installed underground or within structures to the greatest extent practical in order to maximize safety and minimize visual and noise impacts upon surrounding properties. Findin : Due to the "line of site" nature of radio frequency transmissions, it is not practical or technicaliy feasibie to underground an antenna. All above ground support equipment wiil be screened by a sight-obscuring fence. Conclusion: Undergrounding of the antennas is inconsistent with the technological needs cf wireless communi�ation facilities. 6. Above ground and communications facilities shall be designed so as to be lowest helght possible to adequately serve the needs of the public for the proposed utility of communication service. 9
