Trillium <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: May 14, 2007 <br />TO: City of Santa Ana <br />Planning & Building Agency <br />FROM: Jason Kozora, Applicant's Representative <br />RE: Planning Division Comment A.1-Existing Facility at 1241 S. Grand <br />DP No. 2007-13 (Master I.D. No. 2007-74546), ER No. 2007-32 <br />T-Mobile WTF at Chestnut Electrical Sub-Station Facility <br />1444 East McFadden Ave. <br />To Whom it may Concern: <br />This letter is in response to item A-1 of the Planning Division Design Review Comments issued in the letter <br />dated March 20, 2007. <br />T-Mobile had explored the possibility of co-locating on the existing facility addressed as 1241 South Grand <br />Avenue (CUP 2000-7) prior to making application for the current project. However, it was determined that <br />such co-location would not be possible for a couple of reasons. <br />1) The existing pole is approximately 35' in height. If T-Mobile were to co-locate a 10' tip-to-tip <br />separation would be needed between antennas placing T-Mobile at approximately 50' (Top of Antenna). <br />Since the monopole is located directly within the substation, extending the pole would create <br />interference issues for both T-Mobile and SCE due to the close proximity of the electrical lines. For this <br />reason it is not possible to co-locate on this pole. <br />2) Southern California Edison, the property owner, has future plans for the use of the area surrounding the <br />existing Wireless monopole. This prevents T-Mobile from co-locating as there would be no place to <br />locate the associate equipment cabinets anywhere near the pole. The equipment cabinets must be <br />located in the near vicinity of the pole as the cable runs from the equipment to the antennas need to be <br />less than 120' or significant degradation of the signal would result. For this reason it is not possible to <br />co-locate on this pole. <br />Due to the above reasons T-Mobile is proposing their own pole which will be camouflaged as a faux pine tree. <br />The proposed facility will also be in full compliance with Section 41-198 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. <br />Regards, <br />~ason~ ozora <br />Applicant's Representative <br />T-Mobile USA, Inc.
