review by the Water Department.

1. DRC No. 3862-03 Cingular Wireless
Proposal to attach an unmanned wireless telecommunication antenna on an existing SCE
Electrical Transmission Tower and construct a 216 sq. ft. pre-fabricated equipment
enclosure underneath the tower.
2750 North Cannon Street (SCE Easement).
Staff Contact: Mario Chavez-Marquez, Assistant Planner
DRC Action: Recommendation to the Planning Commission
A staff presentation was given by Mario Chavez-Marquez, Assistant Planner.
The Committee members asked the following questions:
Have there been any improvements in wireless technology that might eliminate the need
for so many additional sites? The applicant responded that improvements had been made
in other areas, but that the technology still required a certain number of sites to provide
coverage.
Have there been any distances of problems with locating wireless sites close to residential
areas (i.e., interruption of phone or television service)? No, the FCC would not permit
that to happen. Additionally, adding the equipment to an existing structure is far
preferred to adding mono-pines, etc., or additional towers.
Are the antennas the same color as the tower? Yes, they are painted to match.
A motion was made by Committee Chair Joe Woollett to recommend approval of the project to
the Planning Commission subject to the following conditions and in accordance with the staff
recommendations:
1. Comply with the plans as they are submitted to the Design Review Committee.
2. Replace any asphalt or landscaping that is removed as part of the construction.
3. There will be no exposed conduit.
4. Any issues with roof drainage should be noted on the construction plans once they are
submitted for contract.
