Document Description
The project is an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a proposed new telecommunication facility at 10111 Corchero Lane, Nevada City, CA 95959. The proposed facility will be designed as a one-hundred eighty foot (180') faux pine tree (monopine) with antennas at a tip height of one-hundred seventy-five feet (175'). All brackets, antennas and RRUs will be painted green to match the faux pine -tree. Associated equipment cabinets will be placed at the base of the pole within a new six-foot (6') chain link fence enclosure occupying 1600 square feet (referred to as the lease area). The lease area will contain two equipment cabinets, a fiber vault, electrical meters, a cable ice bridge, a utility H-frame, and 3 spots for future co-locations. The project will also include a PG&E transformer and approximately 320 feet of conduit from the lease area to a utility pole and fiber point of connection. The site will be accessed by a proposed 420 foot long gravel driveway off Corchero Lane. Corchero Lane is proposed to be widened. The project includes a Petition for Exception to Driveway Standards due to the applicant being unable to achieve 10 feet of fuel modification on the western side of Corchero Lane.
