Document Description
The project applicant will construct a new AT&T wireless communication facility (WCF) disguised as an 80-foot-tall stealth water tank cell tower within the Laguna Creek Parkway. The new WCF will be located within a 22-foot by 38-foot lease area (total 836 square feet ), surrounded by an 8-foot-tall perimeter wall with openings at the bottom to allow free flowing drainage. The facility will require 12 AT&T panel antennas, and 12 remote radio units, all of which will be mounted interiorly. Equipment cabinets and a diesel backup generator will be enclosed by an 8-foot-tall chain link fence, located on a steel platform, raised to be above the 100-year floodplain. The project also includes a new 20-foot-wide nonexclusive utility and access easement and fiber cable connections of about 560 linear feet. Additionally, the WCF and lease area will accommodate current and future cell carrier equipment and backup emergency generator.
Construction of the proposed WCF will include installation of underground fiber cables and crushed gravel access road. The access road will match existing grades (no fill added to the floodplain). Up to 560 linear feet of fiber cables will be required to connect the lease area to the existing utility boxes. The existing utility boxes are located across Vineyard Road at the southeast corner of Vineyard Road and Crystal Creek Drive. The lease area will require installation of the WCF water tower, fencing, and steel frame platform. Construction is expected to begin in the Fall or Winter of 2025 and will take up to four months to complete.
