E,dc Selection Geron Communications carefully selected and designed the proposed facility to provide a structure that meets the coverage needs mitre prima y smoot BellSouth DCS, will be feasible for collocation, and meet the goals of the community . Cramer Communications is very sensitive to the proximity of nearby residential properties and bas taken steps to ensure compatibility . The proposed facility will cause mummal visual impact to surrounding residential properties. A "balloon test" was conducted on June 16, 1999, during which a balloon with a diameter of five feet was floated at a height of 275' to assess the visual impact of the proposed tower. Photographs of views taken ham property lines, nearby residential areas, and roadways (along with a map depicting the photograph locations) arc amuched hereto as Exhibit 2, As you can se , the line of sight Rom Greenfield Road and Greenfield subdivision is completely screened by dense large, mature pines. Although glimpses of the structure might be seen Ram their rear property lines, it is unlikely due m the wooded areas of the original parent trot (see Subdivision proposal outlined below). The balloon was minimally visible on Hwy 54 and Bethel Church Rd. due to the existing mature trees, topography, and curve of the roads. The balloon was visible in places on Bethel Church Road, but not from any residential structures and was not visible at all from In Mac Road and swrmading roads, North of the subject site. This particular site was acquired in response to a request by BellSouth DCS. BellSouth DCS operates a Personal Communications Semce ("PCS' system, providing me latest in wireless communication throughout the Southeast The proposed site is critical for complete coverage of Hwy 54 and surrounding come West of Canberra. propagation maps reflecting the coverage requirements are allachcd hereto as Exhibit 3. The process of developing a PCS system is similar to cellular development in that the Basic Trading Arcs ( "BTA") regions as subdivided own small geographic sections or "cells'.
