("CityScape") in its capacity as telecommunications consultant for the County, has considered the merits of the above referenced application submitted by SMSA Limited Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless ("Applicant") to add equipment to an existing one hundred ten (110) foot concealed (slick stick) tower, owned by Crown Castle. The tower is located at 9245 Main Road, East Marion, see Figure 1. Support Structure&Equipment This application will allow Verizon to improve its LTE/AWS service in the immediate area. It will also alleviate capacity issues for the adjacent Verizon sites, which will provide faster and more reliable service for its customers. The application herein proposes to install three (3) multi-band panel antennas, three (3) signal diplexers and twelve (12) 7/8" coaxial cables. This equipment will all be entirely concealed within the outer shell of the structure. These modifications to the tower equipment will occur at the ninety five and a half(95' 6") foot level, Appendix, Exhibits A &B. Under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 ("The Act") any personal wireless facility collocation, modification or upgrade may qualify for streamlined processing. Furthermore, under Section 6409(a) it can qualify for administrative approval if the request meets six criteria, most notably (1) it does not increase the structure height by 10% or 20 feet, whichever is greater, (2) it does not increase the structure width by 20 feet and (3) it does not require any excavation outside the existing ground compound. Section 6409(a) further states that if an application meets the criteria, the application should be approved and not denied. CityScape has determined this application complies with the Act and should be approved. Town of Southold,New York SCTM#1000-31-3-11.31 MW Le,"Ift'Now WIN Page 2 Consultants, Inc. Structural Analysis The Applicant submitted a structural analysis ("SA"), prepared by Paul J. Ford & Company, dated October 23, 2014 and based on ANSI/EIA/TIA-222-F standards. The report summary indicates that with the upgrades, the tower is still within its design limits, see Appendix, Exhibit C. Specifically, the tower with the existing and proposed equipment will have a stress rating of 83.4%while the base (foundation) rating will have a stress rating of 72.4%. It is noted that the previous SA (GPR Group, 12/13/2012) listed a much lower rating, a difference that seems to account for more than just the equipment being proposed herein. Comparison of that SA reveals that it may not have included all the appurtenances on the structure at that time. Thus, the rating would be higher, narrowing the gap between values for the two SAs. The referenced facility and tower has been designed, constructed and continues to be operated by the Tower Owner and professionals with expertise in telecommunications site design and construction. The facility has been designed to maximize the use of telecommunications facility and will have the capability to provide space for future collocation opportunities. The submitted application conforms to the requirements of Town codes and State of New York wind codes and structural integrity. Therefore, it is Cityscape's recommendation that the Town approve the application with the following condition: All feed lines shall be installed within the concealed structure and all access ports shall be concealed to prevent animal/rodent entry. I certify that to the best of my knowledge all of the information included herein is accurate at the time of this report. CityScape is only employed by local governments and has unbiased opinions. All recommendations are based on technical merits without prejudice, according to prevailing laws and codes. Respectfully submitted, v Jonathan N. Edwards, P.E. Cityscape Consultants, Inc.
