The above referenced installation was selected based on a variety of technical, practical, and scientific criteria. See the attached prorogation study maps supplied by the radio frequency (RF) engineer involved in designing this portion of the network. A modification of this facility is needed to the location to provide the service quality demanded by AT&T customers. The site design is proposed to be integrated with a light pole. The light pole will be painted to match the color of the building to blend with the surrounding materials and colors. The equipment is located on the roof of the building behind an equipment enclosure designed to match the architecture of the building. The cables are hidden in a trench below the pavement. None of the equipment or cables can be seen from public view. The property allows technically adequate operation with the needs of the network; and make for a more appropriate application for the community. Please note that this project is a co-location on an existing AT&T site. Other carriers may co-locate at this location but will need to secure approval from the property owner. 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 NORTH ELEVATION EXISTING PROPOSED ZOOM LA0197 SPEYER & HARPER LTE 1102 AVIATION BLVD LOS ANGELES, CA 90254 PROPOSED AT&T EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE ON EXISTING RAISED STEEL PLATFORM Photo simulations based on available plans and client project data, and is intended to be a realistic representation of the proposed project.
