20350 McKean Road Telecommunication Facility

Application is for an Architecture and Site Approval to establish a new 80-foot-tall wireless telecommunications facility tower at 20350 McKean Road. The tower will be disguised as a pine tree (monopine) to help minimize visual impacts to neighbors and passersby. The proposed improvements will be located within a 1,225 square foot leasehold area with the entirety of the proposed equipment, including the tower, will be located behind a 1,089 square foot chain-link fence enclosure. Outside of the leasehold area will be a 12-foot-wide gravel access driveway leading from McKean Road and an 18 square foot area for a future PG&E transformer. The proposed wireless telecommunications facility will include the following components: 1) Fifteen (15) tower-mounted AT&T Antennas centered at the 71-foot level with adequate space to allow for similar arrays at the 47-foot and 59-foot levels, 2) Twelve (12) tower-mounted AT&T Radios centered at the 71-foot level, 3) Three (3) tower-mounted AT&T Surge Suppressor units and ancillary equipment, 4) Five (5) ground-based equipment cabinets, 5) One (1) ground-based 30kW AT&T Diesel Generator, 6) One (1) ground-based GPS antenna and ancillary ground-based equipment, 7) Faux tree foliage to disguise the pole as a pine tree (monopine) and “antenna socks” to disguise the individual antennas.
