Re: Nextel Communications — Wireless Telecommunication Facility — Scotchpine Shopping Center
Development Application for a Permitted Use
As per Article 2 of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, Nextel Communications is requesting an Administrative
Review (Type 1) grant of approval for the placement of a wireless telecommunication facility (including equipment) on
the Scotchpines Shopping Center— 2601 S. LeMay— Fort Collins, Colorado.
As per Article 4 — Division 4.19 wireless telecommunication equipment and facilities are permitted as accessory/
miscellaneous uses within the NC Zone District subject to administrative review.
As per Article 3 — Division 3.8.13 "Wireless Telecommunication", Nextel's proposed installation includes an extension
to the existing building's clocktower to which (12) panel antenna will be mounted on the fagade. The clocktower
extension will match the architectural style depicting the same exterior materials, roof form, color and character of the
building. The design characteristics are matched in scale and proportion as well as architectural detailing, color and
texture. The accompanying equipment will be concealed in the interior of the clocktower.
Nextel's telecommunication facility is an unmanned facility. Routine maintenance will be performed monthly. No
additional parking spaces nor any alteration to existing access roads or additional access roads are required for
Nextel's proposed installation.
As well, we have incorporated comments from the City of Fort Collins previous review of VoiceStream Wireless'
proposed installation of the same design. We have complied with numerous agency/department comments as outlined
in a December 1999 staff review letter to VoiceStream Wireless.
I can be reached at anytime to address any questions or concerns. We look forward to your favorable response.
Regards,
Emma Paolino
Representing Nextel Communications
