S <br /> EVANS <br /> ENGINEERING <br /> SOLUTIONS <br /> Engineering Statement <br /> Prepared for the County of Dane, Wisconsin <br /> Proposed Verizon Wireless Location #278545 <br /> Site Name: Stoughton SW <br /> Municipality: Town of Rutland, Wisconsin <br /> Review of Application for CUP <br /> I. BACKGROUND <br /> This engineering report has been prepared by B. Benjamin Evans of Evans Engineering <br /> Solutions, a Communications Consulting firm in Thiensville, Wisconsin, regarding a proposed <br /> Verizon Wireless 100-foot monopole antenna structure (extendable to 150 feet) to be located at <br /> 1471 US Highway 51, Town of Rutland, Wisconsin. <br /> Evans Engineering Solutions has been retained to evaluate Verizon's proposal from the <br /> standpoint of radio-frequency (RF) engineering and coverage necessity. Pursuant to our <br /> employment, this statement has been prepared. <br /> The siting information provided to Evans Engineering Solutions by Verizon Wireless has been <br /> used in evaluating the appropriate information with respect to Dane County's Communications <br /> Tower Ordinance and Wisconsin State Statute 66.0404 where applicable. The analysis and the <br /> conclusions contained herein have been prepared by or under the direction of B. Benjamin Evans <br /> of Evans Engineering Solutions, or have been submitted by the applicant. Information provided <br /> to Evans Engineering Solutions by other parties is believed to be correct, and has been verified <br /> where feasible. <br /> II. ABSTRACT <br /> Verizon Wireless is in the process of building up and improving its LTE voice and high speed <br /> data network in the southeast area of Dane County. The need for a new site is normally self- <br /> evident when cellular coverage and wireless traffic capacity is lacking in an area of substantial <br /> population. The proposal for a new cellular base station tower in the Town Rutland is mainly to <br /> address a capacity issue. According to Verizon, in a few years, the current Verizon cellular <br /> infrastructure will no longer support the number of wireless users in the Stoughton area unless a <br /> new base station tower is built. The proposed base station is to increase wireless traffic capacity <br /> to accommodate future growth in the use of Verizon cellular devices, especially in the western <br /> portion of the city of Stoughton and in eastern Rutland Township. <br /> Evans Engineering Solutions Communications Consultants 2 <br /> Verizon— Town of Rutland CUP Site Assessment Report <br />
