PROPERTY ADDRESS: 4366 South College Avenue PARCEL NUMBER: 9736331001 LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 1, Fort Collins Retail Center PUD, FTC Signature of Property Representative: Date: Signature of Authorized Lucent Technologies Agent: Date: Wireless: The Everyday, Affordable Choice By Harvey White tnce the passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, many questions have been raised about whether consumers are benefiting from its promise —especially as mega - mergers have led to a consolidation of products and services. Is this con- solidation consistent with the spirit of the act? The answer is yes, as long as people can take advantage of com- petitively priced products. While the act has many guiding principles, it is ultimately designed to create more competition in the local loop for the consumer. Can wireless help fulfill this promise? What if wireless truly became simple to un- derstand, with predictable bills and affordable rates? Numerous carriers have introduced new pricing plans to make wireless appear more affordable. These so- called bucket plans are being well ac- cepted by today's cellular and person- al communications services users. Others have introduced new concepts that take the worry and stress out of wireless by offering unlimited local calls at one low, flat monthly rate, payable in advance. Customers simply pay a one-time fee for an all -digital wireless handset and receive calls from anywhere in the world for the same affordable, flat rate and get mo- bibry in the local service area. This in- novative service is not cellular. PCS or wireline, but rather something com- pletely different that's bringing truly lower -cost wireless to an untapped market. It is for people who use their wireless phones where they live, work and play —everyone from stay-at-home moms to retirees on a fixed income. I call it "comfortable wireless:' and it appears to further the local competi- V think these models will change the way people communicate by telephone.'" tion envisioned by the 1996 act. The customer who uses these ser- vices has generally never used a wire- less phone before, but wants the con- venience and flexibility of mobility. People who never before thought they could afford it are now using wireless as their everyday choice of how to communicate. They are bringing wireless communications to people who never before thought they could afford it. They have the comfort of knowing their service always costs the same, no matter how long they talk —or how many calls they receive. Revolutionary services like these can go a long way toward fulfilling the promise of the telecom act by bringing competition and expanding the local telecom market. I think these models will change the way people communicate by telephone. For many, it means wireless provides their basic telephony service. Services like these are not neces- sarily for everybody. For example, they are not aimed at the business traveler who roams, and thus they don't compete for most of the cus- tomers of the traditional cellular and PCS carriers, who already are being served. In fact. these innovative ser- vices are probably not for most read- ers of this column. Instead, I think of these new ser- vices as the Southwest Airlines of wireless communications. Southwest revolutionized the airline industry with an affordable, lower -cost ser- vice. Southwest's customers aren't canceling their first-class tickets on other airlines. Instead, Southwest is getting people on planes who other- wise would be driving or simply staying at home. That's what the telecom act promised —more compe- tition for local service and more choices for consumers. Companies that deliver these inno- vative services ultimately will fulfill the promise of the act. However, the opportunity for these companies to grow and develop access to capital markets takes time. By providing a transparent process and framework, regulatory leaders can help these new companies attract the capital neces- sary to bring these new services to the consumer —and make the promise of the act a reality. 13 Harvey White is chairman and CEO of Leap Wireiess International Inc.

I have only been here for a month.

"Its a one -hour trip to allof the markets they're interested in, and the airport is easy in and easy out," says Reifschneider. "Its a good-sized city with easy access." According to city officials, the City ofAl- buquerque's role in the companys office lo- cation was "minimal."

According to Reifschneider, the company plans to have five US regional offices in Al- buquerque, Nashville, and three other cities to be named. The company's expansion is based solely on its ability to procure cell service licenses. The company gets those .licenses, often, by purchasing existing licenses. As recently as March, Cricket's parent company, Leap Wire- less, signed an agreement to purchase cell service licenses for Phoenix, Ariz., Reno, Nev, and Roswell, N.M., from Bea Com- munications, LLC. for an undisclosed amount. The purchase gave Leap access to 3.7 million potential customers.The compa- ny also completed plans to get more licenses in Tennessee through the purchase of Chase Telecommunications Holdings, Inc.

Cricket signed a 10-ye2r lease for 19,200 square feet of warehouse space in the Co- manche Business Park (Comanche and I-25) this past week. The company is also negotiat- ing for 19,000 square feet of executive office space in the Uptown area. Tbat deal should be concluded within the week. All told, the company's regional headquar- ters and sales operations in the Duke Ciry could mean as marry as 150 new jobs.

At last, an upstart unveils a service tailored to working stiffs. BY CARLEEN HAWN HERIL WALKER, 40, always wanted the convenience of a cell phone. But the beauty salon owner and single mother of four couldn't afford it. Then in March Walker noticed ads in her home town of Chattanooga for a quirky local -only, prepaid ser- vice called Cricket, priced at just $30 a month. The service, operated by San Diego -based Leap Wireless, offered her un- limited calls, free voice mail and caller ID. Walker cut the cord. She bought a Cricket phone for home use and a phone each for her two employees. Now, instead of paying $500 a month for BellSouth's service to her home and shop, Walker pays just over $100 for both. "It has catapulted me into things that I didn't even dream of doing," Walker gushes. She was so ebullient, in fact, that in August she became a li- censed Cricket dealer. Walker's brought in 300 new subscribers and even made enough money off handset sales to fund a second storefront. Reaching the masses is exactly what Leap Chairman Harvey White had in mind when he launched Cricket eight months ago. "People told Henry Ford he was crazy when he said cars should be accessible to the average person. Why should wireless be any different?" asks White, a cofounder of Qualcomm. White is onto something. Wireless penetration in the U.S. will barely hit 30% this year, far below rates abroad.

He paid $18.7 million for 36 more licenses in cities like Wichita and Spokane. In Chattanooga, Cricket got half of ChaseTel's 4,900 users. Cricket signed up 9,800 new ones, generating $3.4 mil- lion in revenue for 1999, but $22.4 million in losses. Still, with $660 million in vendor financ- ing from Lucent and Er- icsson, Leap can afford to expand. Cricket launches in Nashville next month. But how to make the service cheap and prof- itable? White worked backwards. Instead of building a network and pricing the service to pay for it, White picked the price point and then fig- ured out what features he could afford to offer.

E � F C r i c t� communications 1 Company Overview ' Cricket Communications is rethinking wireless communications for the two-thirds of Americans who do not currently have a mobile phone. Cricket's innovative service gives people the freedom to make all their local calls from around their metropolitan area for one low, flat rate. Marketed as Comfortable Wireless, Cricket is designed to make wireless communications simple, affordable and wont' -free. ' Cricket is for people who never thought they could afford the luxury of a mobile phone — everyone from busy moms to retirees and people with local businesses. Cricket gives college students a private line in ' and out of their dorm room, and parents 24-hour access to their children. Construction workers have replaced a three -mode communication system — pager, two-way radio and mobile phone — with a Cricket phone because it meets all their communication needs at an affordable price. Even existing wireless users have been drawn to Cricket — either because they were paying too much for their service or used ' their mobile phones sparingly to avoid out -of -control bills. Cricket is introducing a whole new category of phone service. It does not intend to compete with traditional cellular and PCS carriers. In fact, Cricket is dedicated to making wireless as inexpensive and easy to understand as traditional landline phone service, with the extra convenience of mobility. 'Cricket aims to transform mobile phones into a mass consumer product — an everyday part of people's ' lives. Cricket envisions a world in which every family member uses a mobile phone to stay in touch throughout their day. Cricket believes that its service will revolutionize wireless communications in the same way Southwest transformed the airline industry, Wal-Mart changed retailing in middle America, and ' Ford shifted everyday transportation from horses to cars. ' Cricket service Cricket gives customers the freedom to make all their local calls from around their metropolitan area and ' receive calls from anywhere for just $29.95 a month. Cricket customers pay each month in advance. Priced competitively with traditional landline phone service, Cricket also offers voicemail, caller ID and call waiting. Customers pay $3.95 per month for any one of these features, and $2 per month for each additional feature. Cricket's all -digital handsets retail for as low as $99.95. Because Cricket customers use the service in their local area, roaming is not available. Cricket customers don't have to sign a contract or pass a credit check. They can also conveniently make long distance and directory assistance calls through a prepaid account. Cricket coverage ' Cricket's unique service lets customers make all their local calls from around the metropolitan region and receive calls from anywhere. Cricket is the wireless equivalent of a cordless phone with an important ' improvement: Cricket phones work throughout a metropolitan coverage area. In addition, the all -digital service provides voice quality comparable to landline service. Because Cricket is intended for the vast majority of people who want to use their phones for local calls in their metropolitan area, roaming is not available.

On the other hand, finding an existing structure that meets our established criteria has allowed for a collocation design, which is generally ' considered better than building a new structure, even a stealth one. illumination off -site. Light fixtures, whether freestanding or tower -mounted, shall not exceed twenty-two (22) feet in height. ' • Cricket Response: Cricket is not proposing any lighting for this site. ' (10) Interference. Wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment shall operate in such a manner so as not to cause interference with other electronics such as radios, televisions or computers. • Cricket Response: Please refer to Appendix "P", which is a letter from an RF engineer, that certifies that Cricket will comply with all applicable FCC requirements. (11) Access Roadways. Access roads must be capable of supporting all of the emergency response equipment of the Poudre Fire Authority. • Cricket Response: The proposed Cricket design will not precipitate any changes to access roads to the buildings located at 4300 to 4372 South College Avenue. (12) Foothills and Hogbacks. Wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment located in or near the foothills bear a special responsibility for mitigating visual disruption. If such a location is selected, the applicant shall provide computerized, three- dimensional, visual simulation of the facility or equipment and other appropriate graphics to demonstrate the visual impact on the view of the city's foothills and hogbacks. ' • Cricket Response: Foothills or Hogbacks are not an issue for this proposed site. (13) Airports and Flight Paths. Wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment ' located near airports and flight paths shall obtain the necessary approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration. ' • Cricket Response: The proposed wireless telecommunication equipment is not located near an airport or flight path. ' (14) Historic Sites and Structures. Wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment shall not be located on any historic site or structure unless permission is first obtained from the city's Landmark Preservation Commission as required by Chapter 14 of the City Code. • Cricket Response: The subject communication tower and the buildings located at 4300 to 4372 South College Avenue are not located on a historic site, and the subject tower is certainly not a designated historic landmark. ' (15). Stealth Technology: To the extent reasonably feasible, the applicant shall employ "stealth technology" so as to convert the wireless telecommunication into wireless telecommunication equipment, as the best method by which to mitigate and/or (4) Landscaping. Wireless telecommunication facilities and ground -mounted wireless telecommunications equipment may need to be landscaped with landscaping materials ' that exceed the levels established in Section 3.2.1, due to the unique nature of such facilities. Landscaping may therefore be required to achieve a total screening effect at the base of such facilities or equipment to screen the mechanical characteristics. A heavy ' emphasis on coniferous plants for year-round screening may be required. If a wireless telecommunication facility or ground -mounted wireless telecommunication ' equipment has frontage on a public street, street trees shall be planted along the roadway in accordance with the policies of the City Forester. ' • Cricket Response: Since Cricket is locating inside Nextel's lease area, no additional landscaping is proposed (any landscaping issues should have been addressed at the time Nextel was approved for this multi carrier communications ' tower). (5) Fencing. Chain link fencing shall be unacceptable to screen facilities. Fencing material shall consist of wood, masonry, stucco or other acceptable materials and be opaque. Fencing shall not exceed six (6) feet in height. • Cricket Response: Since Cricket is locating inside Nextel's lease area, no additional fencing is proposed. The Cricket equipment will be completely screened by a 6' tall cedar fence. ' (6) Berming. Berms shall be considered as an acceptable screening device. Berms shall feature slopes that allow mowing, irrigation and maintenance. ' • Cricket Response: No berming is being proposed for the proposed wireless telecommunication equipment. (7) Irrigation. Landscaping and berming shall be equipped with automatic irrigation ' systems meeting the water conservation standards of the city. • Cricket Response: Since no landscaping is proposed, no irrigation is proposed. (8) Color. All wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment shall be painted to match as closely as possible the color and texture of the wall, building or surrounding ' built environment. Muted colors, earth tones and subdued colors shall be used. • Cricket Response: Cricket is not proposing to paint the antennas, but would be willing to paint them any color that the City desires. The ground mounted BTS equipment will be completely screened by a 6' tall wooden fence, screening it from public view. ' (9) Lighting. The light source for security lighting shall be high pressure sodium and feature down -directional, sharp cut-off luminaries so that there is no spillage of (2) Wireless Telecommunication Facilities. Whether manned or unmanned, wireless ' telecommunication facilities shall be consistent with the architectural style of the surrounding architectural environment (planned or existing) considering exterior materials, roof form, scale, mass, color, texture and character. Such facilities shall also be ' compatible with the surrounding natural environment considering land forms, topography, and other natural features. If such facility is an accessory use to an existing use, the facility shall be constructed out of materials that are equal to or better than the ' materials of the principal use. • Cricket Response: Cricket is proposing a wireless telecommunication site with ' wireless telecommunication equipment, not a wireless telecommunication facility (as defined by the City of Fort Collins zoning code). (3) Wireless Telecommunication Equipment. Wireless telecommunication equipment shall be of the same color as the building or structure to which or on which such equipment is mounted. ■ Whenever a wireless telecommunication antenna is attached to a building roof, the height of the antenna shall not be more than fifteen (15) feet over the height of the building. All ' wireless telecommunication equipment shall be located as far from the edge of the roof as possible. Even if the building is constructed at or above the building height limitations contained in Section 3.8.17, the additional fifteen (15) feet is permissible. ' Whenever wireless telecommunication equipment is mounted to the wall of a building or structure, the equipment shall be mounted in a configuration as flush to the wall as ' technically possible and shall not project above the wall on which it is mounted. Roof- and ground -mounted wireless telecommunication equipment shall be screened by parapet walls or screen walls in a manner compatible with the building's design, color and material. • Cricket Response: The proposal calls for mounting twelve (12) panel antennas to the communications tower attached via a triangular mounting bracket. Cricket is ' not proposing to paint the antennas, but would be willing to paint them any color that the City desired. The BTS equipment will be at the base of the tower and will be completely screened by a 6' cedar fence. ' The rest of the criteria in this section of the code refers to requirements for wall and roof mounted equipment, which do not apply to this application. For additional information with regards to aesthetic issues, please refer to page Z- 3 of the zoning drawings for an antenna azimuth detail and Appendix ' R" for antenna specifications. RESPONSE TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION ' 3.8.13 Wireless Telecommunication ' (A) Location. Subject to the requirements of paragraph (B) of this Section, wireless telecommunication equipment may be attached to or mounted on any existing building or structure (or substantially similar replacement structure) located in any zone district of ' the city. Wireless telecommunication equipment shall not, however, be permitted to be attached to or mounted on any residential building containing four (4) or fewer dwelling units. ' . Cricket Response: The proposed design calls for the attachment of antenna on an existing structure, the communications tower located at 4300 to 4372 South ' College. The subject property is zoned Harmony Corridor (HC). This application is eligible for a Type 1 Review. (B) Co -location. No wireless telecommunication facility or equipment owner or lessee or employee thereof shall act to exclude or attempt to exclude any other wireless telecommunication provider from using the same building, structure or location. Wireless ' telecommunication facility owners or lessees or employees thereof shall cooperate in good faith to achieve co -location of wireless telecommunication facilities and equipment with other wireless telecommunication providers. • Cricket Response: Cricket is in compliance with this provision of the code. Nextel was recently approved by the City of Fort Collins to construct the subject ' communications tower (now owned by SpectraSite Communications). Cricket and Nextel have worked together to insure that there are no RF interference issues with the antennas. In the future, Cricket will not act to exclude or attempt to ' exclude any other competitor from using the subject tower located at 4300 to 4372 South College for the location of other antenna or other telecommunication equipment. (C) Standards. (1) Setbacks. With respect to a wireless telecommunication facility that is a tower or a monopole, the setback of the facility from the.property lines shall be one (1) foot for every foot of height. However, to the extent that it can be demonstrated that the structure will collapse rather than topple, this requirement can be waived by the Director. In addition, the setbacks for ground -mounted wireless telecommunication equipment shall be governed by the setback criteria established in Articles 3 and/or 4. • Cricket Response: The design for the proposed wireless telecommunication ' equipment calls for the attachment of antenna to an existing tower, so setback requirements for towers do not apply to this application. The ground mounted BTS equipment complies with all applicable setback requirements. ' 2. The proposed structure must be able to positively address a variety of construction related questions, including but not limited to: Is on -site power available? Is telephone service available? Can the building structurally accommodate the proposed antenna and associate equipment? 3. The proposed design for the site must be in compliance with the jurisdictional zoning ' requirements. 4. The site must meet the needs of the radio frequency team The ground elevation, the height of the existing or proposed structure, surrounding buildings, and topography ' must all be considered. In addition, the site must "fit in" with the surrounding proposed or existing sites. ' Based upon the above criteria, Lucent Technologies has determined that the tower located at 43004372 South College is the best candidate that meets the established criteria for Cricket's proposed network. ANTENNA The proposal is for a standard collocation on a communications tower. The proposal is to mount twelve antennas onto the tower. Cricket is proposing to initially mount six (6) on the tower, but is seeking zoning approval to eventually mount twelve antennas. The additional antennas will be added on an as needed basis. The top of the antenna will be located at an elevation of 76' 6" above the ground. The dimensions of the antenna are 56" long, 8" wide, and 2.75" deep. This antenna array will provide 360° degree network coverage. BTS Base Transmittine Station) UNIT The proposed location for the BTS equipment is at the base of the tower, located to the west of the tower. The equipment will be fully screened by a 6' tall wooden fence. The approximate dimensions of the BTS units are approximately 5.5' long, 5.5' wide, and 6' tall. Telephone and electrical connections will be made from the BTS unit to existing on - site telephone and power facilities. PROJECT SUMMARY 1 THE CRICKET PROJECT IN COLORADO ' Cricket Communications is a subsidiary of Leap Wireless International, Inc. Cricket is introducing a new category of wireless phone service. It does not intend to compete with ' traditional cellular and PCS carriers. Cricket will give customers the freedom to make all their calls from around their metropolitan area and receive calls from anywhere for $32.95 a month. Because Cricket customers use the service in their local area, roaming is not available. The current Cricket build out for Colorado is focusing on the Fort Collins/Greeley area, ' but will grow to include all of the Front Range communities, from Pueblo in the south to Fort Collins in the north. Cricket is currently offering service several cities, including the Denver metropolitan area, Tucson, Arizona, and Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Presently, Cricket is building out wireless network in several other markets, including but not limited to Albuquerque, Phoenix, Salt Lake, and Omaha. The subject site will function as a wireless telephone communication site within a local, regional, and growing national communication system. Cricket operates under license from the Federal Government at a frequency band of 1890-1895 MHz and 1970-1975 MHz. The proposed facility will consist of twelve (12) flush mounted panel antennas mounted to an "existing" communications tower located behind TJ Max (4300-4372 South College) on South College ("existing" meaning that the tower has been approved for development by the City of Fort Collins, but as of the date this report is being written, ' the tower has yet to be constructed). The BTS equipment will be located at the base of the tower and will be surrounded by a 6' cedar fence. ' Please refer to Appendix "S" for more information on Cricket. SITE SELECTION PROCESS Selecting a location for a wireless telecommunications site is not an easy task. The ' process begins with a radio frequency (RF) engineer laying out a network of sites which all interconnect on paper. The goal is to provide seamless coverage to the customer so that the customer does not experience "dropped" calls. Once the network of cells is established, the RF team provides a search ring map to a land acquisition agent. The job of the land acquisition agent is to locate a site within the defined search area. There are four main factors to consider during the site selection process: 1. The property owner must be interested in leasing space to the wireless telephone carrier (Cricket).
