Noted below are comments to specific sections of the Ordinance AT&T would like to have taken into consideration. Also, the Guidelines mentioned in the Ordinance are still not defined and AT&T would need to see the Guidelines in order to properly comment on the proposed Ordinance. --Section 33-230 (c) To minimize the environmental and aesthetic impacts of wireless facility installations in the public right-of-way. What are the environmental and aesthetic impacts? --Section 33-231 (w) Wireless facility' "facility' or "facilities" mean any fixed facility that transmits and/or receives electromagnetic waves using FCC -licensed or unlicensed spectrum. It includes, but is not limited to, antennas and/ or other types of equipment for the transmission or receipt of such signals, poles, communications monopoles or similar structures supporting such equipment, related accessory equipment, and other accessory installations. City should add "Small Cells" definition specific to small cells as a type of wireless facility attached to poles/structures in the ROW, different than a MACRO site. --Section 33-236 (J) A description of three alternative sites that would also accommodate the proposed Facilities, and a brief explanation as to why -the proposed site was selected ( Le., proximity to power source). This is a MACRO siting requirement section that should not apply to small cells site location selection. There could be multiple small cells required in a defined area. --Section 33-237 Applications for wireless facilities comprising a DAS shall be submitted simultaneously and each Individual location within the system shall be processed and considered for approval separately. Permitting fees will be assessed per application.
