T-Mobile — Request and Justification This site is needed to provide additional cell phone coverage in the area of Taft Hill and Harmony Road in the City of Fort Collins. In an effort to make the facility work best to serve the customers we propose to install this telecommunication facility at the Bethel Baptist Church. The selection of this site was determined with the following parameters: • Local topographic and geographic features • Ability to mitigate the antenna mounting structure's visual impact • Compatibility with existing land uses and zoning • Ability to lease with a landlord Integrating the proposed facility into the existing network will ensure that T-mobile is able to meet its commitment to the public to provide the highest quality service. To accomplish this goal, T-Mobile sites must be placed in precisely calculated positions. Because all the sites in the network function together, the location of this site will affect not only the coverage area surrounding this site, but also the coverage areas of adjacent network sites. Since their induction, wireless telecommunications systems have proved to be an invaluable communications tool in the event of emergencies (traffic accidents, fires, etc.) and natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, etc.) where normal land line communications are often disrupted, overlooked, or inaccessible during and after an event has occurred.
