Re: ZA15-148
Dear Planning Staff:
Verizon Wireless proposes to construct an antenna facility that will improve cellular service to
Verizon Wireless system users on Carroll Avenue. The demand for telecommunication services
from mobile telephone users is constantly increasing. The community through use of mobile
devices is requesting improved service in order to make their telecommunications use easy and
efficient. The community also wishes that the improved service is one that does not appear to be
obvious. In order to improve service and help to lessen the antennas' appearance Verizon
Wireless attempts to use existing structures or to alter existing structures in a minimal way to add
antennas to the area. This request by replacing an existing light structure at a Carroll School
District sports field will provide improved service while minimizing the visual impact of the
antennas.
Verizon Wireless has operated a cellular telephone system serving the Southlake community for
many years. The city depends on a reliable system. The system is constantly monitored and
improved when necessary.
Attached to this request are propagation maps that show the technical improved coverage that
this facility will provide. System users in this general area will have improved service through
faster connections, downloads of data and signal strength for their devices.
We are requesting a variance to the landscape regulations as this site is adjacent to the bleachers
at the football stadium. The site is not visible from any street and is separated from homes to the
west by another football field. We will have an eight -foot masonry wall around the equipment.
Thank you for the opportunity to work with your city to improve Verizon Wireless service.
Sincerely,
l �
