Re: Proposed Verizon Telecommunications Facility at
2025 Sharp Point Drive
Ft. Collins, CO 80525
VZW FTC Parkwood
Dear Mr. Holland,
On behalf of Verizon Wireless Pinnacle Consulting would like to propose the installation of a stealth telecommunications
facility at 2025 Sharp Point Drive located within the Prospect Industrial Park Subdivision. The parcel 8720105013 is
zoned Industrial (I). The property is +/- 2.5 acres. The property is currently undeveloped.
Verizon is proposing a 65’ monopine design which will conceal the antennas and supporting radio equipment within the
fronds. With the Prospect Ponds Natural Area to the east and south and industrial development to the west and north, the
telecommunications facility will benefit the community by offering expanded wireless coverage and greater access to
emergency services. Given a lack of other vertical structures Verizon considers the monopine design will be most
compatible with the neighborhood.
We have met with the Ft. Collins Forestry representative on site to discuss the existing trees and how we can categorize
and protect them during the construction process. In addition, we did discuss the city’s initial request to place new trees
along Midpoint Drive and it was determined due to a lack of an existing watering system and the fact that the sidewalk has
not yet been designed or installed it would not be wise to install them now. As a concession, a fee of $1,600.00 (four
times $400.00 each) would be submitted to the city for the installation of the trees in the future.
This will be an unmanned facility that does not require water, gas or septic services. The site will be visited by a Verizon
service tech approximately once a month. The project is currently in the 2018 build plan. It will take approximately 90 to
120 days to build the site. With the small footprint of the monopine, the impact to the surrounding vegetation will be
negligible.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide you with to aid in the zoning process.
Sincerely,
Brendan Thomson
