This <br />facility is intended to provide increased cellular coverage and call capacity in this area of the City. <br />To give the facility the appearance of a natural tree, the tower has been designed to have <br />branches that will extend seven feet above the antennas to a maximum height of 60 feet. <br />Equipment for the wireless facility will be installed within an enclosure that measures <br />approximately 11 feet, six inches by 20 feet for a total of 230 square feet. This enclosure will be <br />located at the rear (east) of the site, while the monopole itself will be freestanding to the north of <br />the enclosure. Two 36 -inch box Aleppo Pine Trees will be installed to the sides (north and south) <br />of the facility to assist with the stealthing of the monopole, with vines planted along the block <br />walls of the equipment enclosure. Full sized site plans are available for public viewing in the <br />Clerk of the Council Office. <br />31 C -1 <br />
