The site is currently <br /> improved with a 7,234 square foot industrial building that is occupied by Lamination Depot. Land <br /> uses surrounding the site include industrial and warehouse uses to the north, south and east, and <br /> residential uses to the west (Exhibits 1 and 2). <br /> <br /> Project Description <br /> <br /> Verizon is proposing to construct a 60-foot high wireless facility disguised as a eucalyptus tree. This <br /> facility is intended to provide increased cellular coverage and call capacity in this area of the City. To <br /> give the facility the appearance of a natural tree, the tower has been designed to have branches that <br /> will extend three feet above the antennas to a maximum height of 60 feet. Equipment for the wireless <br /> facility will be installed within an enclosure that measures approximately 8-feet by 30-feet for a total of <br /> 237 square feet. This enclosure will be located at the rear (west) of the existing building, while the <br /> monopole itself will be freestanding to the south of the equipment enclosure. Two 36-inch box <br /> eucalyptus trees will be installed to the east and west of the facility to assist with the stealthing of the <br /> monopole, with vines planted along the block walls of the equipment enclosure (Exhibits 3, 4 and 5). <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> 31A-3 <br />
