Enclosures
Compliance with Section 3.8.13
1. Setbacks. The monopole will be set back fifty (50) feet from the S. College Avenue
right-of-way. As VoiceStream is proposing a sixty (60) foot high monopole, I have enclosed
letters from the two manufacturers who provide these poles, documenting the collapsibility (fall
zone) of the poles. Prior to construction VoiceStream will chose one of these two manufacturers.
2. Colocation. VoiceStream maintains collocation agreements with all of the other wireless
telecommunications providers and has a proven record of cooperating to achieve collocation at
their sites.
3. Color. The monopole and concealing canister will be painted to match the existing light
standards in the parking lot. Additionally, a light fixture will be placed on the pole to match the
existing light standards.
4. Fencing. All of the equipment will be placed in three cabinets no larger than
approximately 6' x 5' x 2'. The cabinets will be enclosed by a six foot high masonry wall with a
brick finish to match the exterior of the Perkins Restaurant.
5. There are currently very large trees along the S. College Avenue street frontage and in the
median, thus screening this site from both north and south bound traffic. VoiceStream is
proposing to add shrubs around the cabinet enclosure to further screen the installation. The
enclosed photo simulations illustrate the existing vegetation; the proposed shrubs are not shown
in these simulations.
Summary
VoiceStream has taken great care to design a site which will have no negative impact on Perkins
customers or on traffic on S. College Avenue by camouflaging the antennas within a structure
that mimics those existing on the site. Additionally, all equipment is enclosed by a wall
matching the existing building.
Enclosed are:

RE: Application for Type I Review
Wireless Telecommunications Facility

Modus Management, on behalf of VoiceStream Wireless, is submitting an application for a new
telecommunications facility at the subject address. The new facility will fill a need for enhanced
coverage for VoiceStream customers at the south end of Ft. Collins, particularly those who travel
on S. College Avenue.
Description of Property
The site is the location of a Perkins Restaurant which fronts onto S. College Avenue. The site
and all properties surrounding it are zoned C-Commercial. Wireless telecommunications
equipment is allowed in the C zone district subject to administrative review. Adjacent properties
include the following:
North and east — Foothills Fashion Mall
South — Restaurant
West — College Avenue and retail
Description of Facility
VoiceStream is proposing to install a 60 foot high monopole utilizing stealth technology for the
antennas. As can be seen from the enclosed photo simulation, the antennas will be enclosed in a
canister which is slightly larger in diameter than the pole. Light fixtures will be placed on the
pole at the same height and of the same configuration as the existing light standards in the
parking lot. The pole will be painted the same color as the existing light standards in the parking
lot. Also being proposed are a 30 foot utility easement and a 15 foot access easement.
