September 28, 2005 Mr. Ben Bryner City of Southlake Department of Planning 1400 Main Street, Suite 310 Southlake, Texas 75092 Re: Verizon Wireless Specific Use Permit 500 Kimball Avenue Dear Mr. Bryner: Verizon Wireless locates its antennas throughout the area in a pattern that provides for efficient mobile telephone service. Existing structures are used whenever possible. This site is a TXU transmission tower, It is a monopole type tower. Verizon Wireless located its antennas on the monopole in 1998. Since that time use of the system has increased and more antenna sites have been added to the system to accommodate the growth. In order for the system to continue to operate efficiently an increase in the height of the antennas on this site is needed. Verizon has modified its lease for this site to provide for an extension of the monopole. A structural analysis was done by a Registered Professional Engineer that determined that the monopole can be extended and will meet TXU requirements and ASCE Manual No. 74, NESC Code and TIAJEIA -222 -F structural standards. The increase in height of the antennas will provide for better service in the general area around this site. The site in an industrial area and is surrounded by existing buildings. Future development adjacent to the site will increase the number of buildings between the site and roads and properties near the site. This site now contains a TXU transmission tower. No change in equipment on the ground is anticipated. Given the remote location from roads and residential development there is no need for any screening. Other industrial uses are located adjacent to the site. A variance to the screening requirement for mobile telephone equipment was granted in 1998. This request for the Specific Use Permit includes a request for a variance to the screening requirement. Verizon Wireless in its change of location on the monopole will make way for another carrier to locate on this monopole. Verizon Wireless will not object to another carrier locating its antennas and ancillary equipment on the pole and adjacent to it.
