Project Name: T-Mobile Wireless Telecommunications Facility / 3519 Richmond Drive
Project Address: 3519 Richmond Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80526
County Oarcel No.: 97274-71- 001
Zoning Designation: Neighborhood Commercial
Zoning Process: Development Review Wireless Telecommunications Facility
Project Description:
To enhance current wireless service in the area of 3519 Richmond Drive, T-Mobile proposes to
install a 60-foot slick pole and ground equipment at the above -referenced location. The
telecommunications facility will be located on the south side of the property adjacent to the
Family Practice Medicine monument signage. The antennas will be installed inside of the pole, at
the top, not visible to the naked eye. The equipment enclosure will be surrounded by a
complimentary wall, constructed of similar materials already in place that will have the effect of
screening equipment inside. The antenna facility will accommodate a 2"d carrier. Once on air,
this will be an unmanned facility, requiring infrequent tech maintenance.
Project Justification:
The demand for reliable, in -home cellular service continues as the use of land lines decreases.
Demand particularly for seamless service area -to -area is also driving the need to increase call
capacity. Emergency 911 calls have increased steadily as more area is tied into 911 emergency
services. Federal and local governments demand that wireless networks continue to expand so
that calls for emergency help can be located geographically then responded too as necessary.
T-Mobile has identified the area surrounding 3519 Richmond Drive as an area where dropped
calls and poor call quality inhibit minimal reliable service. Therefore, by installing a new site at
this location, more reliable call quality including proper hand-off connectivity from wireless site
to wireless site will be achieved.
FCC Re ations:
T-Mobile facilities strictly comply with FCC requirements for cumulative field measurements of
radio frequency power densities and electromagnetic fields.
