The Planning Commission made no changes to the <br />recommended conditions of approval outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit A). <br />DISCUSSION <br />Verizon Wireless is proposing to construct a 60 -foot high wireless facility disguised as a <br />eucalyptus tree (mono - eucalyptus). This facility is intended to provide increased cellular <br />coverage and call capacity in this area of the City. To give the facility the appearance of a natural <br />tree, the tower will be designed to have branches that will extend seven feet above the antennas <br />to a maximum height of 60 feet. Equipment for the wireless facility will be installed within a 16- <br />foot by 10 -foot enclosure with eight foot high block walls and vinyl shake siding that matches the <br />siding used on the existing building on the slte. The mono - eucalyptus and equipment enclosure <br />will be located at the center of the site along the north elevation of the existing building. Four 36- <br />inch box eucalyptus trues will be Installed to assist with the stealthing of the mono - eucalyptus, <br />with vines planted along the block walls of the equipment enclosure to further screen the facility. <br />The proposed wireless facility will have three sectors containing four panel antennas per sector, <br />12 remote radio units, two surge protection units and one microwave antenna mounted to the <br />mono - eucalyptus, and all ancillary equipment and one DC generator will be installed within the <br />proposed enclosure. Full sized site plans are available for public viewing In the Clerk of the <br />Council Office, <br />31 B -1 <br />
