Alternative Site Analysis Report

We strive to design and to locate our telecommunication tower facilities on parcels that will provide the widest coverage with the least amount of community disturbance. The goal for this project is to determine which location fulfills our need to provide the most expansive coverage to the Pine Brook Hills Subdivision while adding coverage to other nearby areas thus eliminating the need for another telecommunication tower in the immediate area. We studied multiple prospective locations for this site. Majority of the sites did not provide anywhere near the coverage desired. The mountainous terrain is an obstacle and finding a location as high an elevation as possible is a requirement. Most of the studied parcels were too small and would not even accommodate a tower build. The parcel presented in the Special Use Application is the top choice for several reasons including best concealment and greatest coverage reach. Please see the other two options below that were considered but deemed not qualified for this project:

Site #1

“Little Dolphin”

Lat/Long: 40.049274° -105.326218°

Elevation: 6716’

Site #1 depicted in yellow

(proposed site in green)

2

View of Site #1 potential coverage

This site is a fail:

1. Does not provide coverage to the desired Pine Brook Hill Subdivision and immediate surrounding areas. The coverage, instead, only goes west. 2. Elevation is not as high as chosen site; thus, the potential coverage is blocked by the encircling mountain ridges. 3. Location does not provide ideal concealment desired by both the Boulder Special Use Application and Atlas Tower 1, LLC.

3

Site #2

“Hirsh”

Lat/ Long: 40.050280° -105.320026°

Elevation: 6720’

Site #2 depicted in yellow and red

(proposed site in green)

4

View Site #2 potential coverage

This site is a fail: 1. Elevation is not as high as chosen site; thus, the potential coverage is severely limited to the Pine Brook Hill Subdivision only, does not cover immediate surrounding areas. 2. Location does not provide ideal concealment desired by the Boulder Special Use Application and Atlas Tower 1, LLC.
