Mr. Troy Jones:
I would like to address some questions about the proposal of a Voicestream Wireless site
requiring a Platte River Power Authority power pole alteration.
This site proposal requires a very specific location to meet the objectives outlined. There
are two main issues concerning the area identified to fulfill this purpose. The first issue
that limits feasible candidates is the terrain. The rolling terrain creates problems for a
low site to serve the.objective properly given the surrounding trees and residential
structures. The second is that the primarily residential area does not offer attachment to
existing structures. These limitations require the location to be above the power lines.
The existing power pole offers the desired height, location, and minimal impact in
finding a good candidate for our telecommunications site. Alternatives have been
investigated. The only other feasible option requires a new structure at a minimal 80-ft
height in a less desirable location.
I hope that I have been able to answer your questions. Thank you for your time and
consideration in this proposal. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincer ly,
Chris Tenny
