The overall system design looks like a honeycomb--a network of interconnected cells with <br /> antennae at or near their centers. Each cell has a radius of 2 to 4 miles. In order to <br /> provide seamless coverage, an antenna must be placed at each center, otherwise holes <br /> appear in the network. The facility we are proposing for the Town of Dunn represents <br /> one of these cell centers. <br /> Existing and Proposed Use of the Property <br /> The proposed facility would be located on an existing Ameritech tower at the NE corner <br /> of Highway 51 and Dyreson Road in the Town of Dunn, WI, in the NE 1/4 of NE 1/4 of <br /> sr..9 tion 22-6710, parcel ID #14-0610-221-8000-4. The existing tower is on Dane County <br /> Co`ridiftional,/[Jse Permit #,373 iss e�i in November, 1986. The Conditional Use area is <br /> 100' x 100' of an 18.9 acre 1()A11 legal description of the 100' x 100' area is <br /> attached. The current zoning designation of the parcel is A-2. The area around the tower <br /> is cultivated farmland, and would remain as such. PrimeCo will lease approximately 150 <br /> square feet of the 100' x 100' area from Ameritech. PrimeCo is requesting a Conditional <br /> Use Permit to allow for the construction of a telecommunications facility. The facility <br /> would include: <br /> • 6-9 antennae mounted on a 12' x 12' x 12' triangular platform and attached to the <br /> tower. The antennae are approximately 6.5' long, 6" wide, 2" deep. The antenna <br /> array will be mounted between 150 and 180 feet above ground level. The existing <br /> tower is 290 feet tall. <br /> • a 9' x 12' x 10' equipment shelter to house the transmitting and receiving equipment <br /> for the antennae. The equipment shelter will be surrounded by a chain link fence. The <br /> Access to the site is an existing road. <br /> Schedule of Development Time Frame <br /> Construction of this site, if approved, would require only 2-4 weeks and would begin <br /> immediately after receipt of building permit. PrimeCo hopes to have its PCS network <br /> functioning in early 1997. <br /> Reason for Proposed Structure and Location <br /> In order to provide seamless coverage throughout its service area, PrimeCo must have <br /> antenna facilities at specific locations. This particular location would provide coverage <br /> within a 3 mile radius which includes the Town of Dunn, much of Highway 51 and County <br /> Highway B. <br /> This particular facility will not have very little effect on the existing aesthetic of the <br /> surrounding area. The equipment shelter and antennae will blend in with Ameritech's <br /> shelter and tower. <br /> Additional Information <br /> • This proposal will be filed with the FAA. If required, PrimeCo will install any <br /> necessary lights to the antenna platform. <br /> • The communications facility: <br /> a) will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort <br />
