NAME OF APPLICANT: LIPA and T-Mobile Northeast, LLC
PROPERTY LOCATION: 69685 Main Road (Chapel Lane) Greenport NY
SCTM#1000-45-1-14.1
SEQRA DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under consideration in this
application and determines that this review falls under the Type II category of the State's List of Actions, without
further steps under SEQRA.
SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk
County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its
reply dated November 8, 2010 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there
appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact.
LWRP DETERMiNATION: The relief, permit, or interpretation requested in this application is listed under the
Minor Actions exempt list and is not subject to review under Chapter 268.
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The subject property contains 8.33 acres and is located in a LB zone, and is
improved with an electrical transmission substation, transmission poles and equipment. It has 416.50 feet of
frontage on Main Road (S.R. 25), 722.50 feet along the irregular westerly property line, 1153.95 along the northern
property line and 716.69 along the eastern property line including 95.29 feet of frontage on Chapel Lane, as shown
on survey dated April 12, 2010 last revised August 11,2010 prepared by Barrett, Bonacci & VanWeele, PC.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variances from Article XVII Code Section 280-70J, based on an
application for building permit to upgrade and maintain a wireless telecommunication facility and the Building
Inspector's September 3, 2010, amended October 12, 2010, updated June 10, 2011 Notice of Disapproval
concerning proposed antenna support structures at; 1) more than the maximum code required height of 45 feet, 2)
location of mounted antenna not located in the code required interior, 3) tess than the code required distance to
adjacent residential property line of 500 feet.
RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests variances to maintain and upgrade the existing facility with
antenna support system at a proposed height of 84 feet where the code permits a maximum height of 45 feet;
exterior mounted antennas where the code requires interior mounted antennas; and a distance of 73.8 feet from the
adjacent residential property line where the code requires a minimum distance of 500 feet.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The Zoning Board requested comments from the Southold Planning Board. The
Planning Board in a memorandum dated January 24, 2012 stated they support the application for the following
reasons; the location is within an existing LIPA substation, the surrounding parcels and area have little or no
potential of any residential development due to the existence of the Arshamomaque Lake Preserve, and the site is
Page 2 of 3 - February 15,2012

CTM: 1000-45-1-14.1
naturally well screened. The height of the pole already exists and the antennas are flush mounted to reduce
visibility.
FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION:
The Zoning Board of Appeals held public hearings on this application on August 4, 2011, October 6, 201 l and
February 2, 2012 at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony,
documentation, personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood, and other evidence, the Zoning
Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings:
1. Town Law §267-b{3)(b)(l), Grant of the variances will not produce an undesirable change in the character of
the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties because the actual wooden pole and existing cellular panel
antennas have been in place since 1997. The property contains dense vegetation and tall trees which mitigate
visual impacts. The site is not open to the public so there will be no adverse impact on parking or traffic flow at
the site.
2. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible
for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. The applicant is seeking approval to replace the existing
cellular panel antennae with new panel antennae of similar size and shape. Construction of a new tower at a
different location, but nearby, to fill the same gap within the applicants coverage area would require more
variances then is currently being considered under this application.
3. Town Law §267-b{3)(b){3). The variances granted herein are mathematically substantial, 1) The maximum
height allowed by town code in this LB zoning district is 45 feet, the applicant is seeking to replace the existing
antennas that are located at 84 feet on the existing wooden pole. This represents an eighty six (86%} relief from the
code. However, the pole has existed in place since 1997 without incident and nothing the applicant has proposed
will alter the appearance as it exists today, 2) The minimum distance to adjacent residential property line required
by Town Code is 500 feet, the distance of the existing wooden pole is 73.8 feet to the residential property line, this
represents an eighty six (86%) reduction in minimum distance allowed by code. However, as stated before, the
wooden pole and associated antennas have existed since 1997 without incident and will remain unchanged, with
the exception of a small equipment cabinet located at the base, after the proposed new antenna panels are installed.
4. Town Law §267-b(3}{b){4) No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential
community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. With
respect to the radio frequency emissions the total amount emitted will be 0.2315 % of the maximum set by the FCC
as stated on page 11 (Compliance Conclusion) of the report titled "Antenna Site FCC RF Compliance assessment
and Report submitted by the applicant's expert consultant. The physical impact of the wooden pole to the
neighborhood will remain unchanged.
5. Town Law §267-b(3}(b'/{5}. The difficulty has not been self-created because the applicant is not proposing to
change any of the physical appearance of the existing site and is only seeking to upgrade the technical aspects of
the existing antenna to meet current and future needs of the public. The requirement for the needed variances is a
result of changing the law after the site was constructed and operating for a number of years.
6. Town Law §267-b. Grant of the variances is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the
applicant to enjoy the benefit of upgrading and maintaining a wireless telecommunication facili _ty while preserving
and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under
New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Dinizio, seconded by Member Schneider, and duly
carried, to

feature of the subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features as are
expressly addressed in this action.
The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is' de minimis in nature for an alteration that does not increase the degree of
nonconformity.

Re:
Request for Comments for T-Mobile Northeast, LLC
SCTM#1000-45.-1-14.1 ZBA# 6433
The Planning Board has reviewed your request for comments for the above-
referenced application for variances for this wireless facility, and supports the
application for the following reasons.
The subject wireless facility is located within an existing LIPA substation and is
situated approximately more than 500' from the nearest residence. The
surrounding parcels and area have little or no potential of any residential
development due to the existence of the Arshamomaque Lake Preserve to the
north which is a Public Town/County Partnership Open Space (passive use) and
an 8.2 acre parcel to the east which is currently Public County Open Space
(passive use), furthermore, the site is naturally well-screened by surrounding
woodlands which effectively limits the wireless facility's view from NYS Rt. 25
and nearby developed parcels.
Although the pole (84 feet) exceeds the allowable height of 45 feet in this zoning
district, it already exists and the antennas ara flush-mounted to reduce visibility
as much as possible. The pole and the equipment cabinets are set back
approximately 400 feet north of SR 25 and are not highly visible from outside the
property due to the dense vegetation and tall trees that mitigate visual impacts.
The applicant will need to provide potential fall zones as part of the site plan
review however; the site is not open to the public so there will be no adverse
impact on parking or traffic flow at the site.

Re:
Request for Comments for T-mobile, Grecnport
SCTM#1000-45-1-14.1 ZBA# 6433
The Planning Board received your request for comments regarding a request to maintain
a wireless facility and replace 3 antennas on an existing 84-foot pole with a related base
equipment ama for the above referenced application. It should be noted that this
application requires an application for site plan and special exception consideration
submitted to the Planning Board for review. However, based on the information your
office has provided, the following information is for your consideration:
In connection with the site plan review, the Southold Town Planning Board is
required to review the application to determine whether it satisfied the
requirements for a special exception pursuant to Town Code Section 280-142 as
follows:
a. That the use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent
properties or of properties in adjacent use districts.
b. That the use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of permitted
or legally established uses in the district wherein the proposed use is to be
located or of permitted or legally established uses in adjacent use districts.
c. That the safety, the health, the welfare, the comfort, the convenience or the
order of the Town will not be adversely affected by the proposed use and
its location.
ZBA# 6433
Page 2
November 16, 2010
d. That the use is in harmony with and promotes the general purposes and
intent of this chapter.
e. That the use is compatible with its surroundings and with the character of
the neighborhood and of the community in general, particularly with
regard to visibility, scale and over-all appearance.
f. That all proposed structures, equipment and material shall be readily
accessible for fire and police protection.
The Southold Town Planning Board will also review the application to determine
whether it met the additional standards for a Special Exception Approval for a
Wireless Communication Facility pursuant to §280-73B as follows:
a. Modification of the existing facility for a co-location of another wireless
carrier has been found to be a public necessity, in that it is required to
meet current or expected demands of the telecommunications provider and
to render adequate service to the public.
b. The applicant is co-locating their antennas on an existing antenna support
structure.
c. It is more feasible to co-locate the antennas on the existing structure rather
than construct a new structure.
Additional comments are for the Zoning Board's consideration regarding the
relief requested:
a. It would appear that such a use would be appropriate located on the
subject parcel. The site is owned by LIPA and used as a substation for
electrical power so a wireless facility located here will cause no change to
the use of the site.
b. The property is surrounded by similar uses. The properties to the south
(across SR 25) are zoned LI and LIO, LB to the west of the site, and the
MTA owns the parcel to the north and the County owns the parkland to
the east zoned R-80. It should be noted that there are no residential
dwellings in close proximity to the wireless facility. Therefore, the
proposed use is in keeping with the nature and character of the
surrounding area.
c. Although the pole (84 feet) exceeds the allowable height of 45 feet, the
utility pole already exists and the antennas are flush-mounted to reduce
visibility as much as possible. The pole and the equipment cabinets are set
back approximately 400 feet north of SR 25 and are not likely to be visible
from outside the property due to the dense vegetation and tall trees that
will mitigate potential visual impacts.
d. The applicant will need to provide potential fall zones as part of the site
plan review however it should be noted, the site is not open to the public
so there will be no adverse impact on parking or traffic flow at the site.
Contact the Planning Office with any questions you may have. Thank you.

~OARD OF APPEALS
Reasons for Appeal:
1. An undesirable change will not be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a
detriment to nearby properties if granted, because:
The subject property is improved with an electrical transmission substation, transmission
poles, and equipment. The pole in question is an existing 84-foot tall pole that houses three
(3) T-Mobile public utility wireless telecommunications antennas. Related equipment is
located on the ground adjacent to the existing pole. The proposal seeks only to maintain and
upgrade the existing facility by replacing the three (3) existing antennas with three (3) new
antennas and installing additional equipment cabinets within the existing fenced equipment
area to provide public utility wireless telecommunications services to T-Mobile users.
Accordingly, the applicant submits that no undesirable change will be produced in the area as
this is only a minor change to an existing use and structure. Furthermore, the applicant
submits that it has chosen the least intrusive means possible to address its service deficiency
issues in the vicinity of the subject site.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant CANNOT be achieved by some method feasible for
the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance, because:
T-Mobile's existing facility covers a substantial service area in T-Mobile's 2G wireless telephone
coverage in the vicinity of the Premises. If the site were removed, a substantial service gap would
exist. The service gap in coverage that would exist in the vicinity of this site if T-Mobile were to
remove its existing antennas would prevent T-Mobile from providing reliable service in the area.
This unreliability would represent an inconvenience to users of T-Mobile's services and could have
serious consequences dunng times of emergency or disaster. The proposed replacement antennas
must be affixed at least as high as those depicted on the plans in order to ensure that reliable
service can be afforded to T-Mobile users in the vicinity of the site.
3. The amount of relief requested is not substantial because:
As noted above, the proposal seeks only to maintain and modify an existing facility by
replacing three (3) existing antennas with three (3) new antennas and the addition of
supporting equipment inside the existing fenced equipment area at the premises.
4. The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood or district because:
The facility would continue to be unoccupied and would not result in an assembly of persons
or excessive traffic. Continued operation of the facility would not result in disturbance to
nearby residential dwellings by reason of lights or vibration.
Finally, as the applicant is a public utility under applicable case law (Cellular Telephone
Compan,/v. Rosenberg, 82 N.Y.2d 364, 624 N.E.2d 990, 604 N.Y.S.2d 895 and its progeny) it
must only demonstrate that there is a need for the proposed facility and that it is the least
obtrusive means to serve this need. The applicant submits that there is a substantial need for the
l:acility and that maintaining and upgrading the existing facility is the least obtrusive means to do
SO.

The following information is offered as supporting criteria for the proposed improvements and
collocation of the proposed action upon an existing public utility structure. To assist in the review of the
information, it should be noted that that there are Policies under which the proposed action is not
applicable. However, within these categories the proposed action would not hinder or interfere with the
management of those resources within the Town of Southold.
Nature of Action
T-Mobile seeks permission to maintain and upgrade public utility wireless communications antennas on
an existing electrical transmission pole and related equipment on the ground. A copy of the plans is
attached. The existing site is located completely within an existing public utility electrical substation on
Main Road in Southold. The Applicant proposes to swap existing antennas for newer antennas of a
similar size and color, thereby not changing the existing visual conditions. The applicant also proposes
the addition of equipment cabinet within its existing fenced compound. The ground equipment is not
visible from any adjacent roadway or residence. Total area in development is +/-255 square feet.
Developed Coast Policies
Policy 1: The proposed action would be consistent with the intent of this policy as the proposed
modification would not alter the exiting visual conditions. The ground based enhancements remain with
the existing fenced compound of the existing development. No change to the existing agricultural lands
within the Town of Southold would occur due to this minor modification. The action is fully contained
within the subject parcel and is not located in or adjacent to any body of water nor would it disturb any
sensitive coastal resources. The proposed action is unmanned and would not alter the level of traffic
currently along main road, nor create a change in existing transportation routes. The proposed action
does not require either water or refuse services nit have any effect upon the socioeconomic conditions
as the currently exist, not hinder future opportunities. The proposed modifications would not alter the
developed character of the subject parcel or the surrounding development.
Policy 2: Although the proposed modifications would not directly alter any existing historic parcel, the
proposed action is a federal Undertaking that would trigger a Section 106 review in accordance with the
Collocation Agreement and Nationwide Programmatic Agreement.
Policy 3: The proposed action would be consistent with the intent of this policy as it would not alter or
infringe upon the visual quality or characteristics of the subject parcel or surrounding parcels. The height
and appearance of the pole will not change. The proposed work in the existing ground based compound
is located inland and would not hinder the public's enjoyment of the shoreline or maritime activities, not
alter the views from any of the surrounding roadways.
Policy 4: The proposed action is not located within either a 100 or 500-year flood plain nor is it located
within any of the Common Management Units identified under this policy. According to FEMA map
number 06-02-B0071V-360813, the subject parcel is located within Zone X. Furthermore, the subject
parcel is not located along the shoreline, a jetty or any existing body of water. The modifications
proposed to an existing structure within an improved parcel would not result in the loss of public
resources, wetland habitats or any of the maritime habitats.
Policy 5: This policy is not applicable to this action as it is unmanned and does not require any water
usage and will not generate sewage, effluent, or trash.
Policy 6: The proposed action is located in a wetland buffer zone The proposed actions poses no impact
upon the wetland as there will be no disturbance of the wetland, or cause any runoff as a result of
construction or upon completion of construction. Furthermore, the proposed parcel is fully contained
within a landward parcel. This action would not have an effect upon coastal fish or wildlife habitats.
Policy 7: This policy is not applicable to this action, as the proposed modifications and related
components do not emit fumes or odors. The existence of this proposed facility within the Town of
Southold would not contribute to or alter the current levels of air quality.
Policy 8: This policy is not applicable to this action as the proposed modifications are for an unmanned
facility that does not generate sewage, effluent, or trash.
Policy 9: This policy is not applicable to this action. The proposed modifications to the existing site
within the subject parcel would not hinder the use of or access to the subject parcel, coastal waters,
public lands or public resources of the Town of $outhold.
Policy 10: This policy is not applicable to this action. The proposed modifications would be located
within an improved landward parcel primarily developed as a public utility substation servicing the
surrounding community. The modifications to the passive use of the existing communications facility
within the improved public utility parcel would not prohibit or hinder any existing or future recreational
water dependent uses within the Town of Southold.
Policy 11: This policy is not applicable to this action. The proposed modifications to the existing
communications structure and ground based compound would not have an effect upon the living
marine resources or the associated social and economic well being of the community within the Town of
Southold.
Policy 12: This policy is not applicable to this action. The existing use of the subject parcel is public
utility. The structures and present development of the parcel is for the Long Island Power Authority. The
proposed modification to the existing passive use of a communications facility would not hinder the
existing agricultural within the Town of Southold nor convert any existing farmlands to any other use.
The proposed action would be a minor addition within an existing improved parcel.
Policy 13: The proposed action would be consistent with this policy. The existing compound is supplied
with 200 amps of electrical power. The systems are stationary and would not interfere with coastal
resources, migratory birds, wetland or woodland habitats, scenic resources ad coastal processes.

In the Matter of the application of proposal of T-Mobile Northeast LLC
For Approval to maintain and upgrade public utility wireless
telecommunications antennas on existing electrical transmission pole and
related equipment on the ground at the premises ("Premises"):
LIPA substation

AFFIDAVIT OF
RADIO FREQUENCY
ENGINEER
UDAYA MALIKARJUNAPPA, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I. I am a radio frequency engineer for T-Mobile Northeast LLC (hereinafter "T-Mobile").
As a radio fi'cqaency engineer, I am trained to identify service deficiencies in wireless
telecommunications networks and to evaluate the ability of antenna sites to remedy these sei-~,ice
deficiencies, i am fnlly familiar with l-Mobile's wireless telecommunications network m Suffolk
County.
2. ! submit this affidavit in support of T-Mobile's proposal to maintain and upgrade its
wireless telecom~nun/cations facility at the Premises. T-Mobile proposes to replace its existing antennas
with new antennas on the existing electrical transmission pole, maintain existing equipment cabinets, and
install additional equipment cabinets on the ground adjacent thereto, as depicted in the plans submitted to
the Town.
3. T-Mobile is considered a public utility for zoning purposes under the laws of the State of
New York and is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission lo serve the public on Long
Island and throughout much of the United Stales. T-Mobile strives to provide reliable service throughout
its licensed coverage areas.
4. T-Mobile presently maintains a wireless facility at the su~iect premises. In this
application, T-Mobile seeks approval to continue to maintain its facility, which cun-ently provides 2G
Global System for Mobile Communications ("2G") technology services, and also modi~ and upgrade its
existing wireless facility to provide 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications Services ("3G") and
Alternate Access Vendor ("AAV') capabilities.
5. T-Mobile's existing facility covers a substantial service area in T-Mobile's 2G wireless
telephone coverage in the vicinity of the Premises. If the site were removed, a substantial service gap
would exist. A service gap exists if the user of a T-Mobile mobile telephone cannot reliably transmit,
receive or maintain a voice or data connection. The service gap in coverage that would exist in the
vicinity of this site if T-Mobile were to remove its existing antennas would prevent T-Mobile from
providing reliable service in the area. This unreliability would represent an inconvenience to users of T-
Mobile's services and could have serious consequences during times of emergency or disaster.
6. In order to understand why the site is needed, it is necessary to understand how T-
Mobile's system works from ao engineering standpoint. T-Mobile's wireless telecon~d'nunications system
is designed so that low powered base stations are strategically located at determined distances apart and at
predetermined heights. Due to such factors as hills, valleys, trees, buildings, and other physical
obstructions and due to the nature of radio waves, each coverage area or "cell" is irregularly shaped.
These coverage areas, theretbre, have some overlap to ensure "seamless" coverage. With some overlap
and sufficient signal strength from each base station, the T-Mobile user can move through these cells and
reliably transmit, receive or maintain voice or data connections. Each facility is engineered to cover a
limited area so that an antenna facility will cover only the area sm~'ounding it but will not interfere with
other sites in the system.
7. The 3G system is the next generation evolution to 2G in te]ecommmfication that is
designed to provide a wide spectrum of services involving voice and high-speed data rates. In
comparison to data rates of up to 384Kbps in 2G networks, data rotes in 3G can go as high as 7.2Mbps
and beyond. T-Mobile customers with data-cards and 3G phones will be able to do web browsing,
emailing, watching mobile TV/video on demand, video conferencing, playing online games, etc. Some
specialized services are also afforded due to 3G services, such as Location-based services whereby a
provider sends localized weather or traffic conditions to the phone, or the phone allows the subscriber to
find nearby businesses or friends. Compared to 2G services, 3G allows simultaneous use of speech and
data services and higher data rates. 3G network offers greater security than 2G predecessors.
8. 3G services require a strong/robust backhaul network, which will be afforded by AAV.
AAV is a fiber based transport backhaul network which provides diverse architecture, lower cost to the
carrier, virtual unlimited capacity and simplified transport vendor interaction. AAV will support our
network to cater for increased traffic demands, provide increased reliability and EthernetJlP capability.
With a 3G system, a strong backhaul transport network such as AAV will harness the tree potential of
technology.
9. The proposed replacement antennas must be affixed at least as high as those depicted on
the plans in order to ensure that reliable service can be afforded to T-Mobile users in the vicinity of the
site. The location and height of the antennas is determined by some or all of the following factors:
availability of existing structures, drive test data, location of existing antenna sites in the area, topography
in the surrounding area, land cover features in the area such as buildings and foliage, and the results
provided by computer propagation software that enables radio frequency engineers to predict the
anticipated signal propagation at a given height and location.
10 Mark Cosgrove, the National Director of Radio Frequency Engineering for T-Mobile has
previously prepared in in-depth explanation of T-Mobile's design standards and criteria in the fo~,n of an
Affidavit, prepared on January 23, 2006 ("Cosgrove Affidavit").
11. I have reviewed the Cosgrove Affidavit, which is attached hereto, and am in agreement
with all of its contents.
12. In order to illustrate the effect that the existing site has on coverage in its vicinity,
propagation maps have been prepared demonstrating the In-Vehicle and In-Building Residential coverage
levels described in the Cosgrove Affidavit and required by Town Code Section 280-74B(1)(d). The maps
depict the area served by the existing facility. As the maps indicate, the existing facility is of vital
importance to T-Mobile's eflbrts to provide reliable service to the area in question. Unless this
application is granted, T-Mobile will be unable to continue to provide reliable service in the vicinity of
the Premises.
13. The replacement antennas proposed will not interfere with radio or television set-Ace or
public safety telecommunications in the surrounding area.
Sworn to before me this
day of~, 2011.

OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Affidavit
State of New Jersey

MARK COSGROVE, being dui3, sworn, does depose and sa),:
1. I am a national Director of Radio Frequency Engineering for Omnipoint
Communications, Inc. (the "Applicant" or "Omnipoint'). I submit this affidavit iu
support of the application by Omnipoint for approval for the installation of a wireless
communication public utility facility ("FaciliB,').
2. I mn a qualified radio frequency engineer. I have been trained to identi~
gaps in reliable service in wireless communications systems and to assess the ability of
proposed m~tenna sites to remedy gaps in signal coverage. I have extensive training and
experience with respect to Omnipoint's wireless system and technology, as detailed by
my curriculum vitae, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
3. I have 15 years experience designing, implementing and operating
wireless networks, specifically Global System for Mobile communications technology
("GSM") based networks. GSM technology is a second generation digital technology
originally developed for use in Europe and which is now used by more than seventy-one
pement (71%) of the world market.
mobile technolo~.
GSM technology is, therefore, a veT common
4. The purpose of this affidavit is to establish the technical and scientific
basis for Omnipoint's design criteria as it relates to signal level.
Omnipoint's Design Criteria
5. By way of backgrom~d, Omnipoint has established design criteria so that
its wireless network will provide reliable wireless service to its customers, whether those
customers are on the street, in a vehicle, or in a building. Providing reliable service to
Omnipoint's customers within vehicles and buildings is critical for Omnipoint to provide
the quality of wireless service that customers demand and successfully compete with
other wireless providers, such as Sprint Nextel, Cingular and Verizon Wireless. To meet
customer demands, there are three levels of coverage that Omnipoint strives to provide:
In-Vehicle coverage, In-Building Residential coverage, and In-Building Commemial
coverage. It is important to understand that the levels of coverage do not represent an
objective to achieve a higher level of call quality but to maintain a minimum signal
strength and hence reliability of service at the mobile handset as the environment
changes. As further detailed below, the signal is, by its nature, subject to attenuation
depending upon the conditions and characteristics of the area. The following is a brief
description of each level of coverage.
6. In-Vehicle Coverages: To successfully provide reliable In-Vehicle
coverage, an Omnipoint customer should be abIe to place or receive a call within a
vehicle successfully across 95% of a site's coverage area. In-Vehicle coverage is the
minimum level of acceptable coverage within the Omnipoint network in areas with low
population and along major highways covering rural areas. One must bear in mind that
designing for only the In-Vehicle coverage threshold will typically result in um:eliable in-
building coverage, and hence customer dissatisfaction. However, since the signal level is
stronger closer to the antenna site than further away from the antenna site, there will be
some coverage within buildings close to the site. At this time, Omnipoint utilizes the In-
Vehicle coverage design in low population density areas within Omnipoint's licensed
coverage area.
7. In-Building Residential Coverage: To successfully provide reliable In-
Building Residential coverage, an Omnipoint customer should be able to place or receive
a call on the ground floor of a building that is three stories or less in height successfully
across 95% of the site's coverage area. In-Building Residential coverage is the mid-level
of coverage within Omnipoint's network. In-Building Residential coverage is targeted
for residential areas and Iow-rise commercial districts with building heights of three
stories or less. This type of coverage will typically provide reliable coverage over the
majority of the cell coverage area; however in some areas, and specifically at the outer
geographic boundaries of the cell sites' coverage area, coverage will be restricted only to
rooms with windows and will likely lead to customer dissatisfaction if customers try to
place or receive a call inside a windowless room, cellar or emergency shelter_
8. In-Building Commemial Coverage: To successfully provide reliable In-
Building Commercial coverage, an Omnipoint customer should be able to place or
receive a call on the ground floor of a building that is greater than three stories in height
successfully across 95% of a site's coverage area. In-Building Commercial coverage is
the top level of coverage within the Omnipoint network at this time. In-Building
Commercial coverage is targeted for urban residential centers (high-rise buildings), urban
business districts and suburban business centers. Coverage issues may still occur in hard
to serve locations such as within elevators and parking structures.
9. Signal Strength: To provide these levels of coverage, Omnipoint has
scientifically determined the strength of the wireless signal ("signal strength") necessary
to provide In-Vehicle coverage, In-Building Residential coverage, or In-Building
Commercial coverage. Because wireless signals are attenuated (i.e. degraded or partially
blocked) by obstructions such as trees, automobile windows, automobile sheet metal, and
building materials such as wood, brick and metal, a wireless signal must be of sufficient
strength in the ambient environment (i.e. outside with no obstructions) to reliably
penetrate into automobiles and buildings.
10. Assume for example that a homeowner placed a radio on the front lawn of
his house and played a song. The sound level would be louder closer to the radio than
farther away because audio sound waves weaken as they travel farther away fi-om their
source. The song will be clearly audible to a person with average hearing capacity sitting
on the front lawn next to the radio. Another person may be able to hear the song within
her car parked in the driveway a short distance away from the radio, although she may
have difficulty deciphering the words. Still another person within the house may not be
able to hear the song at all. For the person within the house to hear the song, the radio
must be moved closer to the house. The song cannot simply be made louder within the
house by turning up the volume, as there is a practical limit Io how much sound (power)
the loudspeakers can produce without physically damaging the radio, or introducing
distortion into the sound. Similarly, a cell site's transmission power is limited by the
physical output power capabilities of the amplifiers and the legal restrictions of the
licenses Omnipoint operates under. It is also important to understand that unlike this
simple radio analogy, a wireless telecommunication system is a two-way system. The
signal is transmitted from the antenna site to the receiver in the wireless phone. The
wireless phone transmits a signal back to a receiver at the antenna site. Each signal link
must work for reliable two-way communication. Therefore, Omnipoint cannot simply
turn up the power on its antemaa site to provide a stronger signal level because doing this
has no impact on the ability of the mobile phone to transmit a signal back to the receiver
at the antenna site. The radio frequency power output of mobile phones is far less than
the typical output power at the cell site. Although the cell site has some techniques to
redress this power imbalance, the link must remain balanced. Accordingly, the relevant
question is as follows: How close must the radio be to the house so that the radio xvaves
are strong enough for the person in the house to clearly hear the song? In like manner,
Omnipoint's design criteria reflect the need to provide a wireless signal strong enough to
provide reliable service within a vehicle or building.
l I. _Required Signal Strength Levels: Wireless signal strength is measured on
a logarithmic power scale referenced to 1 milli-watt of power. Signal strength levels less
than lmitli-watt being negative. The smaller the negative dBm number, the stronger the
4
signal. For example, -76dBm is a stronger signal level than -84dBm. Omnipoinfs
system requires an ambient signal level of -84dBm to provide reliable In-Vehicle
coverage, and an ambient signal level of-76dBm to provide reliable In-Building
Residential coverage. An ambient signal level of-71dBm is required to provide reliable
In-Building Commercial coverage. These signal level requirements provide the basis for
Omnipoint's design criteria.
The Technical Basis for Omnipoint's Design Criteria
12. At present Omnipoint's design criteria for wireless facilities serving an
area are based upon providing 95% reliable signal over a site's coverage area to ensure
reliable service for customers. This standard reflects a business judgment that 100%
reliability is an tmrealistic goal at this time due to financial, technical and environmental
constraints. A 95% level of reliability is consistent with the level of service provided by
Omnipoint's competitors. Providing service at this level allows Omnipoint to satisfy
customers' demands and compete on an equal footing with competitors serving this
market.
13. To achieve the 95% reliable design goal, maximum path loss values are
derived based upon Omnipoint's technology and the area served. Path loss means the
amount the Omnipoint signal is de~aded from the point at which the signal leaves the
Omnipoint anterma site until it reaches the Omnipoint customer's mobile device or
telephone. The equation is as follows: In-Building coverage = Receiver Sensitivity +
Body Loss + In Building Loss with Standard Deviation + Fade Margin. Each component
of this equation is described below.
I4. Returning to our earlier example of the radio on the lawn, we must first
determine the minimum song volume for a typical person to hear the song. This is the
equivalent to the Receiver Sensitivity. We must then determine the degree to which the
vehicle, the building and other obstructions in the envirom~ent obstruct the song, which
is the equivalent to the path loss. Fh~ally we need to introduce the concept of probability.
As we do not know the exact location or direction of the listener, we need to make some
5
adjustments for known variances to provide us with a 95% success target, this is the Fade
Margin. These radio frequency engineering concepts are explained in more detail below.
15. Receiver Sensitivity: We start with the minimum signal level necessary
for a common Omnipoint telephone or wireless device to reliably operate. This minimum
signal level is known as the receiver sensitivity, or RX sensitivity. Using the prior
example, the minimum signal level is the minimum volume level the radio must be set to
enable a typical person to hear and understand the lyrics of the song.
16. Omnipoint's technology is defined by the PCS 1900 Specification, "Radio
Transmission and Reception", J-STD 007 Air Interface: Volume 1, 1998, which is based
on the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) GSM recommendations
(05.05: ETSI EN 300 910 V8.5.0 (2000-07)). Both technical documents specify a
Receiver Sensitivity value of-102dBm for mobiles operating in the United States. In
these independent technical specifications the Receiver Sensitivity is referenced to
certain Bit Error Rates ("BER"). The BER limits the speech quality of the call.
Receiver Sensitivity refers to the practical limit at which speech quality of a wireless
call starts to be severely impacted. The actual BER auained by a mobile device is
dependent on a number of factors, including the build quality of the mobile device, the
environment the mobile device is operating in (whether in a City or rural area), the
speed the mobile user is traveling (slow moving mobile devices suffer extreme
variations in performance), the type of radio cartier can3,ing the mobile call (GSM uses
different types of carriers, each having differing performance characteristics) and finally
the amount of interference present from other Omnipdint mobile users and other
external sources.
17. Real world Receiver Sensitivities (the true limit of acceptable speech) can
vary between -93dBm and ~108dBm depending on the above factors. ETSI Technical
Report 03.30 (GSM Plmming Aspects) reconm~ends Receiver Sensitivity of-102dBm. In
addition, this Technical Report also recommends the use of an Interference Margin of
3dB. This is due to the manner in which Receiver Sensitivity, is specified in GSM.
Receiver Sensitivity is specified as the performance limit in a purely noise limited
environment (a single radio carrier). Mobile handset receivem in real world uses operate
in the presence of interference as cartier frequencies are re-used. To account for this
additional signal degradation an additional allowance of 3dB is made at the receiver due
to the presence of these multiple interfering sources. This reduces the Receiver
Sensitivity to -99dBm. GSM interference performance is only guaranteed at signal
strengths above Receiver Sensitivity. See GSM Recommendations 05.05.
18. Omnipoint has opted not to expressly highlight this Interference Margin in
our design guideline calculation since our practical experience has been that the mobile
devices have achieved slightly better performance than that originally specified in the
GSM Recommendations. Omnipoint effectively uses a design level of the Receiver
Sensitivity of-105dBm plus the 3dB interference Margin. Tttis design level also
matches the output power of I W maximum available power from the mobile device, i.e. a
lower assumption on the Receiver Sensitivity would only make the link limited by the
mobile to cell site transmission path.
19, Next, we must factor in the signal path losses relative to the receiver
sensitivity. Such signal path losses include the body loss, vehicle or building loss, the
standard deviation and fade margin as explained below. To return to the analogy by
considering these factors we are addressing, to what extent does the car, building or other
variables in the environment obstruct the song?
20. Body Loss: Since the mobile device or phone is carried and used by a
person, the position of the mobile device or phone with respect to the user's body has an
effect on the received radio signal. When the user's body is situated between the mobile
telephone's antenna and the antenna site, the user's body will absorb some of the radio
energy. Omnipoint customers do not ordinarily position the telephone so that the antenna
on the mobile telephone directly faces the antenna site. Therefore, the customers' bodies
often partially block the signal. Additional factors can influence Body Loss. For
example, in New York State it is illegal for a customer to use a mobile device while
driving, and hence customers use either wired or remote headsets. Customers now
generally keep the mobile devices clipped to a belt or in a breast pocket. Studies have
7
produced detailed measurements of the effect of body shielding with respect to mobile
device position for different radio environments. See Sakamoto M. et al: "Basic Study
on Portable Radio Telephone System Design" IEEE VTC Conference 1982. For mobile
devices held vertically, the body loss varies from 1.5dB for the head to 4.9dB for the
trunk (a mobile device clipped to a belt or placed in a jacket pocket for example). For a
mobile device held horizontally, the loss due to the head increases to 5.SdB, with the loss
due to the mink being 4.2dB. ETSI Technical Report 03.30 GSM Planning Aspects
recommends use of a body loss of 3dB. Based on the foregoing, Omnipoint uses an
average body loss of 3dB.
21. Building Loss: The concept of building attenuation, commonly referred to
as building loss, has long been defined as the difference between the median field
strength intensity at street level averaged around the exterior of the building, and the
median field strength intensity at a location on the first floor inside the building. This
difference is known as the building loss. See Rice LP: "Radio Transmission into
buildings on 35 and 150 MHz" Bell Systems Technical Journal 1959. Many
measurements have been performed to derive values of the mean building loss for
different types of buildings and environments. One researcher found mean losses of
approximately 27dB for downtown Tokyo. See Kozono et al: "Influence of
Environmental Buildings on UHF Land Mobile Radio Propagation" IEEE Transactions
on communications October 1977. Another researcher has described losses of 15dB for
downtown Chicago. See Walker E H: "Penetration of radio signals in to buildings in a
Cellular Environment" Bell Systems Technical Journal 1983. Extensive measurements
were performed at 900MHz in New York and determined that the median value of loss is
20dB. See Durante J: "Building Penetration loss at 900MHz' IEEE VTG Conference
1973. Researchers in Philadelphia, measured building losses averaging 16dB at
1900Mhz and 19dB at 800MHz for a range of buildings in urban, suburban and rural
areas. See Tanis W and Pilato G: "Building penetration characteristics of 880MHz and
1922MHz Radio Waves" IEEE Journal 1993. Measurements in Liverpool, UK, showed
losses averaging 13.4dB for measurements made at the ground floor of buildings. See
Turkmani A and Toledo A: Radio Transmission at 1800MHz in to and within multistory
buildings", IEEE Proceedings-l, vol 138, No 6 December 1991. Further measurements
8
within Liverpool showed losses of between 24dB and 9dB for buildings in the City center
and losses on the University campus of between 14 and 18dB. See Toledo A, Turkmani
A and Parsons J, IEEE Personal Communications, April 1998. The ETSI Technical
Report 03.30 (GSM Planning Aspects) uses building losses of 15dB for urban and 10dB
for rural areas. Based on the foregoing, and as further described below, Omnipoint uses
an 11 dB loss for In-Building Residential and a 16dB loss for In-Building Commercial.
22. In addition to the "static" loss of 11 and 16dB, Omnipoint uses the
reported "Standard Deviation" of building loss of 6.SdB and 7.0dB as reported in the
references above. Durante and Rice compiled the largest set of measurement results in
order to extract the standard deviation of the building loss. Rice quoted a deviation of 12
to 14dB around the mean loss and Durante reported 5 to 7.SdB deviation for ground floor
measurements. Turkmani et. al. reported a standard deviation of 7.2dB for the buildings
in the Liverpool measurement study. Standard Deviation is used to overcome the
statistical distributions of building losses in an area. For example, the average loss for
Residential buildings may be 1 IdB. However, some buildings made of brick or with
aluminum siding, for example, may have much greater losses as high as 25dB or more.
The standard deviation of the building loss is used in a calculation to ensure that 95% of
buildings are covered and not just 50% of buildings if only the mean loss was taken into
account.
23. Vehicle Loss: With respect to vehicle loss, it is important to note that the
majority of customers usc hand portable devices without exterior antennas on the vehicle.
The signal strength loss due to the need to penetrate the vehicle to reach the handset
must be taken into account when designing RF coverage for highways using the In-
Vehicle coverage criteria. Extensive measurements have been performed at 900 MHz in
three vehicle types; mirfivan, full sized car and smalI sports car. See Ivica Kostanic,
Chris Hall and John McCarthy, TEC CELLULAR, Inc., VTC IEEE Conference 1997.
Measurements were made with the mobile phone adjacent to the driver's head, with the
mobile phone on the dashboard and with the mobile phone on the passenger seat. It was
determined that for a minivan, losses (including body losses) were between 8 and 9dB
with a standard deviation of 2 to 3dB. Losses for a full sized car were between 7.25 and
9
9dB (including body losses). Due to size of the windows in the small sports car, losses
were found to be higher at between 9 and 14dB. ETSI Technical Report 03.30 (GSM
Planning Aspects) recommends a vehicle loss of 6dB. Based on the foregoing,
Omnipoint utilizes a figure of 6dB for vehicle losses.
24. Fade Margin and Standard Deviation: The standard deviation is a
mathematical expression of how a set of data samples varies from the mean value. For
example, if an observer was to measure the speeds of cars passing a point and plot the
number of cars observed at each speed the graph would probably resembles a "Bell"
curve. One speed will be the mean or average speed and represent the top of the Bell.
On either side of this mean, fewer and fewer cars will have higher or lower speeds,
forming the sloping sides of the Bell. The Standard Deviation is a measure of the width
of the Bell. A low Standard Deviation would represent a narrow Bell. A large standard
deviation would represent a wide Bell. In a mobile radio environment the observed
signal strength varies at any point due to the radio waves taking numerous different paths
from the transmit antenna to the receiver antenna and the minute variations in the
surroundings (moving objects, vibrations, temperature effects, and local obstructions such
as cars and trees). These effects produce "Fast" changing signal strengths at the mobile
device. These effects are generally overcome by system features such as "Frequency
Hopping", where the radio frequency is changed many times a second. Terrain obstacles,
trees, and buildings, produce "Slow" changing effects, where the signal strength at the
mobile device can change as the user moves a short distance. All of us will experience
these effects if we talk on a wireless handset while walking. The observed signal strength
will change as we move along. Slow fading effects result in a margin of error between the
propagation tools used to prepare the coverage maps, and the mean signal at the mobile
device. These Slow or Shadow fading effects must be compensated for in the design of
the system.
25. Digital planning tools try to match a model of the propagation
environment to kno,~q measurements in an area. If the model is successful then the
accuracy of the model will approach the slow fading levels encountered in the field. A
good model will estimate the long-term average mean of the signal over the prediction
l0
square or bin (generally a 100 meter or 25 meter square). The slow fading and any
additional model errors will be seen as a standard deviation of the tool when compared to
known measurements. The planning tool that Omnipoint employs uses industry leading
digital terrain and environmental databases and uses advanced calculations to produce an
accurate estimation of the signal strength on the ground. The accuracy of the tool is
better than 8 to 12dB Slm~dard Deviation depending on environment as quoted by the
manufacturer Aircom and verified by field measurements. The tool uses the European
Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research Subgroup on Propagation
(Cost 231) Model. This is an extended version of the industry standard Okumura-Hata
model.
26. Slow fading measurements in the field show a typical range of between 4
and 6 dB for non line of sight environments and between 6 and 9dB where a dominant
propagation path exists. See Turkmani A and Toledo A: Estimating Coverage of Radio
Transmission in to and within Buildings at 900, 1800 and 2300MHz, IEEE Personal
Communications, April 1998. Based on the accuracy of the tool in resolving shado~fng
errors and the residual slow fading error inherent in radio transmissions, Omnipoint
utilizes a slow/shadow fading standard deviation of 8dB. It is important to understand
that the published measurements of slow fading relate to measurements at a single point
whereas Omnipoint is setting a compensation figure for the variance in predicted signal
over a wider 100m bin.
27. The building losses also include a measure of variance with the Standard
Deviation of the building losses being between 6.5dB and 7.0dB. The slow fading
Standard Deviation and the in-building loss Standard Deviation are statistically
independent and hence can be combined in to a single distribution using the following
formula:
(J =~(G2slo~4'ading+ IJ 2building loss)
28. The computer software-planning tool creates a propagation map by
predicting the average signal strength for a small area (e~g. a 100m by 100m square),
based on a digital terrain database and a computer model that predicts the mean signal for
II
each small area. A margin of error due to the Standard Deviation of the slow fading and
building losses exists between the tool's prediction and the expected mean signal level.
29. The expected signal strength forms a lognormal distribution (a "bell"
curve) around the predicted local mean. In other words, due to the variation in the
environment across the predicted area, an additional margin is needed such that a certain
probability of coverage is attained. This margin is deemed the Fade Margin.
30. Two methods may be used to calculate the Fade Margin. The first method
uses the probability of a detected signal strength exceeding a defined threshold across a
single prediction square (edge probability). The second method uses the probability
across many squares to provide a wide area probability (cell area probability). Both
probabilities are interlinked and depend on the variation in signal strength across the
small prediction area, i.e. the standard deviation ("o").
31. Determination of the fade margin and associated area cell reliability
figures are calculated using the lognormal fading equations and methodology. See W.C.
Jakes, Jr., "Microwave Mobile Communications," John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1974
(p. 126). This is the standard recommended methodology as described by the ETSI
Technical Report of GSM Planning Aspects. The appropriate fade margin for 95%
reliability employs the following equation:
Given that
X0 - ~
a = -- b = 10nlog(e)
Where Fu represents the fraction of useful area for which the signal strength x exceeds a
given threshold Xo (the wanted fade margin), o is the combined standard deviation and n
represents the distance/power law relationship. "n" is the rate at which radio waves
12
decrease with the Log of distance. It has been shown to be between 2 and 6, see
Turkmani A and Toledo A: Radio transmission at 1800MHz into and within multistory
buildings, IEE Proceedings vol 138, No6 Dec 1991. The value of "n" depends on the
environment and propagation conditions. Omnipoint uses a value of 3.5 as recommended
in ETSI Technical Report 03.30 (GSM Planning Aspects).
For example, in a suburban environment, design levels for In-Vehicle would be
calculated by the following:
o= 8dB
Body Loss = 3dB
ha vehicle loss = 6dB
Receiver Sensitivity = - 102dBm
Path loss n = 3.5
Reliability = 95%
The required signal on the street outside the vehicle would be:
Xo = Receiver Sensitivity + body loss + In-Vehicle loss
= -102dBm + 3dB + 6dB
= -93dBm
Setting Fu= 0.95, n=3.5 Xo=-93dBm and o'=SdB and solving for X in the equation above
gives X= -84.4dBm, i.e. a total fade margin of 17.6dB.
32. The appropriate signal strength planning levels for all area types are
shown in the table below.
MS (Rx Fade Margin Planning

statistically justified.

INTRODUCTION
T-Mobile Northeast LLC ("T-Mobile") seeks approval to maintain and upgrade
its existing non-permitted wireless telecommunications facility which is located within
the parcel grounds of a LIPA/Keyspan property, specifically known as the Southold
Substation. The Southold Substation is located on the northerly side of Main Road at a
distance of approximately 470 feet west of the intersection with Chapel Lane, within the
Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York (the "Subject Parcel"). The Subject Parcel
is further identified as District 1000 Section 45, Block 1 and Lot 14.1 on the Suffolk
County Tax Map.
This project entails the removal and replacement of T-Mobile's existing antenna
equipment currently collocated at the existing 84-foot utility pole. Four (4) additional
cabinets would locate within the existing fenced compound. The primary components of
the upgraded T-Mobile facility would consist of the antennas, four (4) cabinets, together
with conduits, cables, cable port and additional concrete slab, all of which are collectively
referred to as the "Proposed Facility."
This report reviews the existing land uses, environs, visual setting and conditions
of the Subject Parcel and surrounding area within which the Proposed Facility would co-
exist. The viewshed currently incorporates an existing facility and associated utility
poles within the Subject Parcel and along roadside right-of-way within the area. No
change in height is proposed and existing mitigation measures would remain; therefore
the proposed action would not alter the visual setting or zone of visibility previously
established by the existing structure. A field visit and windshield analysis was conducted
by DMS Consulting Services, Inc. ("DM S Consulting") on October 21, 2010.
L113058
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is a modification of an existing non-permitted wireless
telecommunications facility. Drawings prepared by William F. Collins Architects, LLP
("WFC"), with a revision date of September 3, 2010 illustrate that the existing utility pole
is one within a row of wooden utility poles all situated within the Subject Parcel. Three
(3) antennas are currently flush mounted along the exterior, at the top of the pole. A 6-
foot high chain link fence encloses an existing equipment compound, of which the utility
pole lies within. The existing installation is supported by two (2) equipment cabinets
southeast of the utility pole, within this compound. Utility service panels are also within
the enclosed compound. These conditions at grade will remain.
The proposed modification would remove and replace the existing three (3)
antennas with like models. They will be painted a dark brown as was the initial
installation. Each antenna is positioned to provide service within a specific sector or
direction.
The existing equipment cabinets will remain within the fenced compound. Each
cabinet will have a new booster cabinet placed directly along the side of the cabinet. A
new UMTS cabinet along with an attached Pumell cabinet would locate within the
northwest quadrant of the compound. This modification would be contained within the
existing fenced compound.
LAND USE
The Subject Parcel is accessed by way of a driveway along Main Road. Only the
rear portion of the Subject Parcel is improved, with the remaining land wooded. General
improvements consist of a high voltage electric substation and storage tank with sheds
and pipelines. All utility services are individually fenced. A utility right-of-way lies
directly west and to the south. Parking for vehicles is available on site. Ingress and
egress is located offMain Road.
Surrounding uses are a mix of commercial, marine, business and residential uses
and wooded, vacant lands. Wetlands lie to the west and south. The general rural
character of the area keeps improvements primarily along Main Road. Residential uses
are located along the minor surrounding roads, some with equine uses. Uses to the south
along Main Road include a motel, snack bar and miniature golf and thrift shop. Directly
east along Main Road lies a residential use. Vacant lands lie to the west, and vacant
lands, a house of worship and a few residences are situated to the north. Structures that
exist within the surrounding parcels are 1 to 2-stories in height. This community is
nestled within a full vegetative umbrella. The utility pole and existing wireless
installation are part of the existing environs and visual setting.
2 L113058
METHODOLOGY
A site visit and windshield analysis was conducted on October 21, 2010, from
approximately 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM to assess the existing conditions and provide visual
renderings of the Proposed Facility that are in keeping with Section 280-74C(3) of the
Town of Southold code. The weather conditions during the time frame of the analysis
were overcast and rainy, approximately 59° F. Photographs were taken from viewpoints
located in publicly accessible areas. Five (5) view points from different locations are
provided to illustrate the existing visual conditions and visual changes that would exist
due to the proposed installation.
Non-Visual Assessment
T-Mobile's drawings indicate that the Proposed Facility will be unmanned,
entirely contained within the improved grounds of the Subject Parcel. The project does
not require any water usage and will not generate sewage, effluent, or trash. Because the
Proposed Facility will be unoccupied, there will be no increase in traffic and no need for
additional on-site parking spaces.
All construction activities would be contained within the Subject Parcel with no
hindrance to the abutting parcels. The installation of the Proposed Facility will not alter
the use of land adjacent to or in the surrounding areas or require any change in
transportation routes. Ingress and egress to the property will not be affected.
Visual Assessment
A visual evaluation was conducted and considered along public rights-of-way
only. Visibility of the existing utility pole and wireless installation was limited to the
Subject Parcel and from within the immediate vicinity along Main Road (See Views 1
and 2). This is due to the heavy vegetative buffer and tree line. Visibility of the existing
structure remains consistent as no change to the height of this tower is proposed.
The closest residence is located along Main Road, directly across from the
Subject Parcel. At the time of this field visit, no views of the existing structure were
available due to the wooded deciduous buffer within Subject Parcel's frontage (See View
4). Views of the existing utility pole and installation were unavailable from within the
majority of the surrounding area.
Seasonal changes may offer a seasonal view, which would remain consistent. The
existing structure is a present condition that is part of the visual environment. The
improvements at ground level required for the Proposed Facility are in keeping with the
current improvements of the Subject Parcel's primary use with visibility limited to within
the said parcel.
3 L113058
CONCLUSION
Accordingly, five (5) views are presented illustrating the existing visual
conditions at the Subject Parcel and from within the surrounding community and the
modification proposed. These modifications would not negatively alter the view shed as
it exists, nor change the current zone of visibility. Those within the area that currently
view the existing utility pole and antennas would remain unchanged. The replacement of
the antennas on an existing structure does not alter the height of width of the existing
structure; therefore resulting in no visual changes from within the community.
The Proposed Facility is a passive use that would not alter the existing level of
vibrations or traffic that currently exists nor does it emit fumes or odors during its
operation. It is unmanned and does not require parking nor would the proposed action
reduce the existing number of parking spaces available. The Proposed Facility continues
to make use of an existing structure and would not change the location or height of the
utility pole. The original footprint of the existing compound will remain the same. This
propose modification would not alter any future development within the Subject Parcel or
surrounding neighborhood.
The Proposed Facility would have no adverse visual impact nor would this
modification alter the existing street patterns, general community character or existing
environmental conditions.
PROCESS
The photographs were taken with a Nikon N60 35mm Camera. A Normal Lens
was used for all view points. The lens was set on 50mm auto focus to match the human
eye's focal view.~ Kodak Gold 200 print film was used for the negatives for this project.
All photos were developed in a 4x6 size print and then scanned into digital format at 300
dpi. The images are directly imported into the Adobe Photoshop CS3 sot'tware program
in the scanning process.
The equipment was built in a 3D program, Autodesk Discreet 3D Studio Max 9.0
("3ds Max") in accordance with the Auto Cad drawings prepared by William F. Collins
Architects, LLP, with a revision date of September 3, 2010. 3ds Max is a modeling
program used for architectural, engineering and landscape visualization renderings.
Heights and distance are factors of line of sight perspectives that are used in the
scaling of the project. A view point is a specific sight line illustrated on a photograph
incorporating all objects between two (2) points within a scaled environment. Bringing a

rendered model into a "real time" image requires lighting in accordance with the time of
day and existing lighting conditions within the photo itselfi The photographs are
imported into the perspective view port where Cam Points (camera point) are assigned to
specific locations within the existing photograph in accordance with the angle taken. The
3ds Max program establishes the visual perspective based on the angle, lens and height
used when taking the photograph. The camera matching stage is a meticulous process
that sets the platform for the correct scale of the model. Model rendering, at this point in
3ds Max, is based on the Cam Points, which fine tunes the visual perspective. This
process is required for each individual view point.
G1S mapping and aerial views provide the relative distance from the primary
control point to the view point. Lighting and colors are matched and applied to the
model. The final rendering is imported into Adobe Photoshop CS3 ("Photoshop") where
film grain is matched and final details are added in layers. Photoshop is a painting and
finishing program. The blending of these layers will create the final image. The final
image is exported to post-production software, Adobe Illustrator CS3, and scaled to page
size using its Vector Based scaling engine to ensure zero percent distortion in final print.
Text additions and final prints are run from Illustrator with Pantone Color Matching on
all colors. Final images are printed on photo paper to maximize contrast, brightness and
attention to detail for each image.

VIEWS AND DISTANCES
The five (5) views described below illustrate the visual conditions that exist and would
remain with the installation of the Facility. An icon ora star denotes the location of the
proposed structure. Distances from which the views were taken were measured from a
scaled aerial view provided by New York State GIS mapping. Views are presented in a
50mm lens, unless noted otherwise. Due to the change in weather at the time of the field
visit, View 5 was brightened for printing purposes.

Introduction and Summary
At the request of T-Mobile Northeast LLC ("T-Mobile"), Pinnacle Telecom Group
has performed an independent expert assessment of radiofrequency (RF) levels
and related FCC compliance for modifications to antenna operations on a unipole
on Main Road in Southold, NY. T-Mobile refers to the antenna site by the code
"LI-13-058A".
The FCC requires all wireless operators to perform an assessment of the RF
levels from all the transmitting antennas at a site whenever antenna operations
are added or modified, and ensure compliance with the Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) limit in the FCC regulations.
In this case, there are no other antenna operations at the site to include in this
compliance assessment. Note that FCC regulations require any future antenna
collocators to assess and assure continuing compliance based on the RF effects
of all proposed and then-existing antennas at the site.
This report describes a mathematical analysis of compliance with the FCC MPE
limit for safe continuous exposure of the general public. The RF effects of the
antennas are calculated using a standard FCC formula - and the analysis is
designed to conservatively overstate the RF levels that actually occur from the
antennas. In that way, though, as long as the results indicate RF levels below
the MPE limit, we can have great confidence the compliance requirement is
satisfied.
describing the calculated RF levels as simple percentages of the FCC MPE limit.
If the reference for that limit is 100 percent, then calculated RF levels higher than
100 percent indicate the MPE limit is exceeded, while calculated RF levels
consistently lower than 100 percent serve as a clear and sufficient demonstration
of compliance with the MPE limit. We will also describe the overall worst-case
calculated result via the "plain-English" equivalent "times-below-the-limit factor".
The result of the compliance assessment in this case is as follows:
The conservatively calculated maximum RF level from the T-Mobile
antenna operation, as modified, is 0.2315 percent (i.e., less than one-
quarter of one percent) of the FCC MPE limit. In other words, the worst-
case calculated RF level - even intentionally overstated by the
calculations - is still more than 430 times below the FCC limit for safe
continuous exposure of the general public to the RF emissions from
antennas.
The results of the analysis provide a clear demonstration that the RF
levels from the antenna operation at this site satisfies the criteria for
controlling potential human exposure to RF emissions, and the proposed
antenna operations are in compliance with the FCC regulations and limits
concerning RF safety. Moreover, because of the conservative
methodology and operational assumptions applied in the analysis, the RF
levels actually caused by the antennas will be even less significant than
these calculation results indicate.
The remainder of this report provides the following:
relevant technical data on the T-Mobile antenna operation at the site;
a description of the applicable FCC mathematical model for assessing
MPE compliance, and application of the relevant technical data to that
model; and
analysis of the results of the calculations, and the compliance conclusion
for the site.
In addition, two Appendices are included. Appendix A provides background on
the FCC MPE limit along with a list of key references. Appendix B provides a
summary of the expert qualifications of the individual certifying compliance for the
subject antenna site.

The area below the antennas, at street level, is of interest in terms of potential
"uncontrolled" exposure of the general public, so the antenna's vertical-plane
emission characteristic is used in the calculations, as it is a key determinant of

Compliance Analysis
FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin 65 ("OET Bulletin 65")
provides guidelines for mathematical models to calculate the RF levels at various
points around transmitting antennas. At street level around an antenna site (in
what is called the "far field" of the antennas), the RF levels are directly
proportional to the total antenna input power and the relative antenna gain in the
downward direction of interest - and the levels are otherwise inversely
proportional to the square of the straight-line distance to the antenna.
Conservative calculations also assume the potential RF exposure is enhanced by
reflection of the RF energy from the ground. Our calculations will assume a
100% "perfect" reflection, the worst-case approach.
The FCC's formula for street-level MPE compliance calculations for any given
wireless antenna operation is as follows:
MPE% = (100 * TxPower * 10 (Grnax-Vdisc)/10 * 4 ) / ( MPE * 4x * R2 )

Street-level MPE% Calculation Geometry
It is popularly understood that the farther away one is from an antenna, the lower
the RF level - which is generally but not universally correct. The results of
MPE% calculations fairly close to the site will reflect the variations in the vertical-
plane antenna pattern as well as the variation in straight-line distance to the
antennas. Therefore, RF levels may actually increase slightly with increasing
distance within the range of zero to 500 feet from the site: As the distance
approaches 500 feet and beyond, though, the antenna pattern factor becomes
less significant, the RF levels become primarily distance-controlled, and as a
result the RF levels generally decrease with increasing distance, and are Well
understood to be in compliance.
FCC compliance for a multi-band antenna site is assessed in the following
manner. At each distance point along the ground, an MPE% calculation is made
for the RF effect in each frequency band, and the sum of the individual MPE%
contributions at each point is compared to 100 percent, the normalized reference
for compliance with the MPE limit. We refer to the sum of the individual MPE%
contributions as "total MPE%", and any calculated total MPE% result exceeding
100 percent is, by definition, higher than the FCC limit and represents non-
compliance and a need to mitigate the potential exposure. If all results are
consistently below 100 percent, on the other hand, that set of results serves as a
clear and sufficient demonstration of compliance with the MPE limit.
Note that according to the FCC, when directional antennas and sectorized
coverage arrangements are used, the compliance assessments are based on the
RF effect of a single (facing) sector, as the RF effects of directional antennas
facing generally away are insignificant.
Based on FCC guidelines, the following conservative methodology and
assumptions are incorporated into the MPE% calculations on a general basis:
1. The antennas are assumed to be operating continuously at maximum
power and maximum channel capacity. In addition, the effects of antenna
line loss will be ignored wherever possible.
2. The calculations ignore any effects of any antenna pattern discrimination
in the horizontal plane.
3. The power-attenuation effects of shadowing or other obstructions to the
line-of-sight path from the antenna to the point of interest are ignored.
4. The calculations intentionally minimize the distance factor (R) by
assuming a 6'6" human and performing the calculations from the bottom
(rather than the centerline) of each party's lowest:mounted antenna, as
applicable.
5. The potential RF exposure at ground level is assumed to be 100-percent
enhanced (increased) via a "perfect" field reflection from the ground itself.
The net result of these assumptions is to significantly overstate the calculated RF
exposure levels relative to the levels that will actually occur - and the purpose of
this conservatism is to allow very "safe-side" conclusions about compliance.
The table below provides the results of the MPE% calculations, with the worst-
case overall result highlighted in bold in the last column.

Compliance Conclusion
The FCC MPE limit has been constructed in such a manner that continuous
human exposure to RF fields up to and including 100 percent of the MPE limit is
acceptable and safe.
As described, the maximum calculated RF level from the antenna operation is
0.2315 percent of the FCC MPE limit. In other words, even with the significant
degree of conservatism in the analysis, the worst-case calculated RF level is still
more than 430 times below [tie FCC MPE limit.
The results of the calculations indicate clear compliance with the FCC MPE limit.
Moreover, because of the conservative calculation methodology and operational
assumptions applied in this compliance analysis, the RF levels actually caused
by the antennas will be even less significant than the calculation results indicate.

Appendix A. Background on the FCC MPE Limit
FCC Rules and Regulations
As directed by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the FCC has established
limits for maximum continuous human exposure to RF fields.
The FCC maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits represent the consensus
of federal agencies and independent experts responsible for RF safety matters.
Those agencies include the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In formulating its
guidelines, the FCC also considered input from the public and technical
community - notably the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The FCC's RF exposure guidelines are incorporated in Section 1.301 et seq of its
Rules and Regulations (47 CFR 1.1301-1.1310). Those guidelines specify MPE
limits for both occupational and general population exposure.
The specified continuous exposure MPE limits are based on known variation of
human body susceptibility in different frequency ranges, and a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 4 watts per kilogram, which is universally considered to
accurately represent human capacity to dissipate incident RF energy (in the form
of heat). The occupational MPE guidelines incorporate a safety factor of 10 or
greater with respect to RF levels known to represent a health hazard, and an
additional safety factor of five is applied to the MPE limits for general population
exposure. Thus, the general population MPE limit has a built-in safety factor of
more than 50. The limits were constructed to appropriately protect humans of
both sexes and all ages and sizes and under all conditions - and continuous
exposure at levels equal to or below the applicable MPE limits is considered to
result in no adverse health effects or even health risk.
The reason for two tiers of MPE limits is based on an understanding and
assumption that members of the general public are unlikely to have had
appropriate RF safety training and may not be aware of the exposures they
receive; occupational exposure in controlled environments, on the other hand, is
a _.~;:~3J ts :~v~.;,e ~:div[dua[s ~,ho have had such ~raini;~g, aCe a.'are of the
exposures, and know how to maintain 8 safe personal work environment.
The FCC's RF exposure limits are expressed in two equivalent forms, using
alternative units of field strength (expressed in volts per meter, or V/m), and
power density (expressed in mitliwatts per square centimeter, or mW/cm2). The
table on the next page lists the FCC limits for both occupational and general
population exposures, using the mW/cm2 reference, for the different radio
frequency ranges.
13

Frequency (MHz)

Because the FCC's RF exposure limits are frequency-shaped, the exact MPE
limits applicable to the instant situation depend on the frequency range used by
the systems of interest.
14
The most appropriate method of determining RF compliance is to calculate the
RF power density attributable to a particular system and compare that to the
MPE limit applicable to the operating frequency in question. The result is usually
expressed as a percentage of the MPE limit.
For potential exposure from multiple systems, the respective percentages of the
MPE limits are added, and the total percentage compared to 100 (percent of the
limit). If the result is less than 100, the total exposure is in compliance; if it is
more than 100, exposure mitigation measures are necessary to achieve
compliance.

Dear Board Members:
Date of Report: Jan. 24, 2012
In accordance with a request from the applicant, T-Mobile
Northeast LLC ("T-Mobile"), I have inspected the above site and
prepared an Appraisal Consulting Report (the "Report") regarding
the potential effects of a modification (the "Modification-) of
an existing wireless communications facility (the
"Communications Facility") on the surrounding community. This
report is intended to comply with the report requirements set
forth under Standards Rule 5-2 of the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), subject to limiting
conditions and a certification as outlined in the Addendum.
After considering the location, market conditions, proposed
build, and all other factors that influence value, it is my
professional opinion that T-Mobile's proposed Modification of the
Communications Facility will not negatively affect property
values in the surrounding area and will not have any adverse
effect on the character of the neighborhood or the pattern of its
development.
My conclusions are outlined in the following Report.
Respectfully submitted,
LYNCH APPRAISAL LTD.
By:
Michael J. Lynch
N.Y.S. Cert. General R.E. Appraiser #46000001012

Purpose and Intended Use of Report
The purpose and intended use of the Report is to study any
possible adverse effects a proposed Modification of a
Communications Facility will have on the surrounding community.
This Report is strictly prepared at the request of T-Mobile
to present to the Town of Southold at an upcoming hearing.
Effective Date of Report
The effective date of the Report is January 24, 2012, the
date of inspection by Mr. Michael J. Lynch.
Description of Proposed Modification
The proposed T-Mobile Modification consists of the
replacement of three (3) panel antennas with that of similar,
newer antennas to an existing wood LIPA utility pole (the
"Pole"). The Pole measures 84'0" (AGL) to its top, with
centerline heights of 81'3" (AGL) for both the existing and
proposed new antennas. In addition, T-Mobile will be mounting an
associated equipment cabinet on a concrete slab adjacent to the
Pole. This new cabinet will sit within an existing 15' x 30'
fenced compound that presently encloses the Pole and two (2)
existing cabinets.
Description of Property and Surrounding Neighborhood
The subject property (the "Property") is situated along the
northerly side of Main Road (S.R. 25), distant 435' westerly from
Chapel Lane, in the unincorporated area of Greenport, Town of
Southold, Suffolk County, New York. It is also known and
designated by Suffolk County Tax Map Number: District 1000,
Section 45, Block 1, Lot 14.1. The Property totals 8.3± acres in
area and, in addition to the Communications Facility, is improved
with a LIPA electric substation. It is a "flag staff" lot,
possessing generally level topography, and is heavily wooded for
approximately half its depth from Main Road. The narrow "staff"
portion of the lot runs east to Chapel Lane and appears to
accommodate the overhead electrical power line. Abutting
properties include a County preserve and other lands to the north
and east; a thrift store, snack bar and mini-golf center to the
west, along Main Road; and wooded land to the northwest. Facing
south, across Main Road, are industrial-zoned, residentially
utilized properties. The bulk of the Property is situated within
a Limited Business (LB) zoning district, with the small "staff"
portion being within a Residential Low Density (A) district. The
Pole does not appear to be visible from Main Road, Chapel Lane,
or any of the nearby, residentially utilized parcels due the
heavily wooded nature of the area.
Scope of the Report
In
preparing this Report, the appraiser:
Inspected the Property and surrounding community;
Reviewed the engineering drawings as supplied William F.

in conformance with
USPAP
Report Methodoloqy
In analyzing any potential adverse effect the Communications
Facility may have on the surrounding community, the appraiser
considered the proposed build of the Communications Facility to an
existing Monopole, the surrounding neighborhood and land uses,
zoning classification of the subject Property and surrounding
parcels, and other existing conditions.
In addition, we have reviewed and carried out studies with
respect to wireless communications facilities in Nassau and
Suffolk Counties, including the East End of Long Island. These
communications facilities include monopole sites, lattice and
guyed wire tower sites, rooftop mounted sites, and water tank
sites. Two of these studies of note are as follows:
Monopole Antenna Site, Cherry Creek Golf Links, 900 Reeves Avenue
Centerville (Riverhead), New York. A 130'± stealth monopole was
erected at this golf course in 2003. Subsequent to the monopole,
a new development of single-family residences commenced adjoining
the golf course and said monopole to its east. This homeowners
association, known as the "Highlands at Reeves," had its first
sale in 2006. The development includes a community pool,
clubhouse, and other amenities typical to a modern homeowners
association development on Long Island. The golf course and
development are built on former agricultural lands.
Our staff looked at sales data within the Highlands at Reeves
from 2006--2011, finding 32 sales ranging from $399,000-$850,000,
or on a per square foot of building area running from $136/SF-
$258/SF. The average and median sale price per square foot was
$197/SF and $201/SF, respectively.
We then compared this above data to a very similar developrm~nt
located 1.5± miles to the east known as "The Highlands at
Aquabogue," situated along the south side of Sound Avenue,
adjacent to the east side of the Long Island National Golf Club.
The Highlands at Aquabogue had its first sale in 2006, with units
still available as of 2012. Our researched sales run from 2006-
2011, revealing 54 sales ranging from $425,000-$719,000, or on a
per square foot of building area running from $135/SF-$252/SF.
The average and median sale price per square foot was $207/SF and
$211/SF, respectively.
The difference between the two groups, utilizing average and
median sale prices per square foot of building area, was very
close, differing by less than 5%. Therefore, based upon these
two groups of data, it does not appear that the presence of the
130' monopole had an appreciable effect on the adjacent
residential community.
Birdseye View of Monopole and Adjacent New Developmen2
Monopole Antenna Site, Keyspan Operations Center, Montauk
Highway, Bridgehampton, New York. A 120'± monopole was erected at
this center circa September 2000. This property is surrounded by
residential properties to its north, east and west, and opposite
agricultural land to its south. Nearby, at the southwest corner
of Montauk Highway and Newlight Lane, is a community of upper-
middle priced homes that was first developed in the mid 1950s.
This development is partially within view of the monopole due to
the open agricultural fields to the east.
Our staff compared sales data of homes in the development before
and after the installation date of the monopole. Our "before"
data, which included six (6) sales running from 4/97 to 5/99, was
compared with "after" data, which included six (6) sales running
from 2/01 to 5/04.
The average price per home in the before and after groups was
128% higher for the latter ($516,167 vs. $1,179,000), which
breaks down to an average of 29%/year market appreciation. This
figure compares favorably with the overall market appreciation of
22%/year tabulated from all single-family homes sales over the
same time period for all of Bridgehampton. As such, the antennas
or monopole did not appear to lead to a devaluation of nearby
property values around the site.
Conclusions
In summary, we offer the following conclusions:
The proposed Modification of the Communication Facility
is appropriate for the Property given that the
application involves the swapping-out of existing
antennas and the addition of one (1) associated ground
equipment cabinet.
The Property, which is primarily in use as a LIPA
substation, is well suited for the Communications
Facility, given existing conditions, natural screening,
land uses, and zoning in the surrounding neighborhood.
Further, the Communications Facility does not appear to
be visible from nearby residences.
No correlation was found between the presence of wireless
communication facilities and declining property values in
the studies we reviewed or carried out on communities in
Nassau and Suffolk Counties, including the East End of
Long Island.
The proposed Modification of the T-Mobile Communications
Facility, therefore, will not negatively affect property
values in the surrounding area and will not have any
adverse effect on the character of the neighborhood or
the pattern of its development.
