APPLICANT PRESENTATION SUMMARY
Verizon is requesting to place a cellular antenna inside one of two cupolas (architectural
feature on a roof) on a building located at 1205 S. White Chapel Boulevard. All equipment will be
placed within the office building or cupola. Their previous submittals to the City showed an enclosed
area outside the building to house all the operating equipment, but discussions with property owners
lead them to install the equipment inside.
QUESTIONS DISCUSSION
QUESTION: What will be different than the current cupola?
RESPONSE: The new cupola will look identical to the old one but will be made ofRF friendly
material to allow the signals through. Colors will match, but any openings (window
like features) will have to be closed off. A relatively small lightning rod will be added
to protect the equipment and the building from lightning strikes.
QUESTIONS: How big is the space that will be rented out in the building?
RESPONSE: The space herizon will be renting is between 10x10 and 10x15.
QUESTION: When is this going to the Planning and Zoning Commission?
RESPONSE: February 22, 2007
