INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION BY THE COUNCIL ITEM 2100410 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ACT ON REQUEST TO REZONE. SUBJECT. PROPERTY FROM PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO, UH TO PD PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT GENERALLY TO MODIFY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND TO ALLOW FOR A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER, LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF BLUE STEM DRIVE AND HIDDEN HAVEN DRIVE. JENNIFER. THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. JENNIFER ARNOLD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING. ONE SECOND OF FATHERS THERE. YEAH OKAY. UM UH, COUNCIL MAY RECALL THAT THIS ITEM WAS BEFORE YOU ON THE MAY 18TH COUNCIL MEETING, HOWEVER, IT WAS TABLED TO ALLOW STAFF AND THE APPLICANT TO DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE OTHER ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED CELL TOWER. STAFF HAS WORKED WITH THE APPLICANTS. THEY ARE STILL REQUESTING THE PROPOSED CELL TOWER ON THE SITE THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. I'LL DO A REALLY QUICK RECAP OF WHAT THE REQUEST INCLUDES. AND THEN I'LL BE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. SO THIS REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH IS A PROSPER IS D ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE FOR ELEMENTARY APPROXIMATELY 10.7 ACRES IN SIZE. THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE SPECIFICALLY TO ALLOW FOR THE INSTANT INSTALLATION OF AN 80.

FT UM, CELLULAR TOWER ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE SCHOOL PROPERTY. HERE ARE SOME EXHIBITS THAT WOULD BE TIED DOWN AS PART OF THAT ZONING JUST AS A REMINDER, UH, THE PROPOSED CELL TOWER WOULD BE TUCKED AWAY HERE ON THIS SIDE OF THE BUILDING. PER THE REQUEST ME, ALL RIGHT, LOOK THAT UP. FURTHER REQUESTS. THE APPLICANT HOUSE PROPOSED TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL SCREENING AROUND THE BASE OF THE CELL TOWER THEY HAVE LOCATED IN A PLACE WHERE THEY FEEL IN CONCERT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT IT IS AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THE SCHOOL'S CONCERN. AS WE LOOK AT IT FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE, IT DOES MEET ALL OF THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE WOULD TYPICALLY LOOK FOR WHEN CONSIDERING A CELL TOWER. AS SUCH, WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. AGAIN.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE. AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. I HAVE A. THE QUESTION. I THINK IT WILL BE FOR MORE FOR YOU, MR HAUSER, IF THAT'S OKAY. JENNIFER. MAYBE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER TO. I'M NOT SURE. YOU COULD YOU

[00:15:03]

COULD YOU JUST. REITERATE UH, FOR THOSE WHO WEREN'T HERE IN THE PAST, UM WHAT BY LAW BY FEDERAL LAW THAT WE ARE ABLE TO CONSIDER AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, FOR THIS DISCUSSION, WHAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONSIDER AS WE DELIBERATE OVER THIS. I THINK THAT THE BURDEN IS ON THE APPLICANT TO ESTABLISH THAT THERE IS NO OTHER. SITES THAT WOULD PROVIDE EQUIVALENT SERVICE TO THE ONE THAT'S BEING SOUGHT TONIGHT. AND THAT IF THERE ARE ALTERNATE SITES, THEN.

THE COUNCIL WOULD BE ABLE LEGALLY TO DENY THAT THE ADVOCATES FROM THE ZONING IN THIS CASE. SO THOSE ARE KIND OF THE SHORT VERSION OF THAT AND WHAT WE CAN'T. WHAT CANNOT BE CONSIDERED AND ARE DENYING THE REQUEST WOULD BE HEALTH OR SAFETY CONCERNS. OR IS THAT ACCURATE? THE YES. FEDERAL LAW. THE ISSUES OF WHAT CELL TOWERS AND WAVES DO OR CANNOT BE CONSIDERED YES. THANK YOU. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION FOR WITH THAT ARE ARE ENGAGED IN THIS DISCUSSION. ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I HAVE A QUESTION. I NOTICED IN SOME OF THE LETTERS OF OPPOSITION FROM PARENTS OF STUDENTS. THAT THERE WAS A COMPLAINT ABOUT REALLY LIMITED GREEN SPACE AROUND THE SCHOOL IS THAT PORTION OF THE SPACE BEING UTILIZED FOR ANY PURPOSES LIKE. OR PLAY AREAS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I WOULD I'D HAVE TO DEFER THAT TO THE APPLICANT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE APPLICANT AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS THAT THIS LOCATION IS SATISFACTORY FOR THEM, AND IN FACT, I HAD A CALL FROM THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT WITH PROSPER. I S D. REGARDING THIS VERY CASE, SO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THE SCHOOL ITSELF FEEL AS THOUGH THE LOCATION THAT'S PROPOSED. IT'S NOT GOING TO ENCUMBER THE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY HAVE ON SITE. AND SO THEY'RE SUPPORTIVE OF IT. MICRO MICRO QUESTION. MEMORY SERVES ME BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE MAYBE THE TWO MONTHS LIKE FOREVER.

UH, THIS IS A PROSPEROUS SITE. PROSPER PROPERTY. MCKINNEY GETS NOTHING OUT OF THIS DEAL. WELL AGAIN. I THINK THAT THE AFRICAN HAVE ANSWERED THAT WITH IT IS MCKINNEY STUDENTS THAT ARE THERE WHILE IT IS PROSPEROUS CITY, IT'S STILL IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY PROPER. AND SO THE STUDENTS THAT ARE THEY'RE PROBABLY COME FROM BOTH MCKINNEY AND PROSPER. BUT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, TAXABLE VALUE OR REVENUES, WE WOULDN'T GET THAT ON A SCHOOL SITE ANYWAYS, BECAUSE THEY'RE NON TAXABLE FROM AN A V ADVIL OR, UM. BUT BUT WHAT WOULD THE OTHER SITES THAT WERE CLOSE TO THIS THAT WERE LOOKED AT. WELL, I'M SORRY FOR THE OTHER PROPOSED SITES, SO THE APPLICANT WILL WALK THROUGH THAT THERE WAS A GAS STATION SITE THAT THEY LOOKED AT, AS WELL AS A FIRE STATION SITE HERE IN THE CITY. BUT I GUESS I'LL WAIT FOR THAT. I'LL DEFER THAT TO MR HAUSER, THE CELL TOWER ITSELF. IF IT WERE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD STILL GET THE A V. WHETHER OR NOT WE'D GET ANY SORT OF SALES OR BUSINESS PROPERTY TAX. I COULDN'T SPEAK TO THAT. RIGHT? UH, THE APPLICANT. HAS COME UP. GOOD EVENING, AND THANKS FOR HAVING US BACK. MY NAME IS MASON GRIFFIN AND I RESIDE AT 64 23 TO A PLANE IN DALLAS. UM AND YES, I'M HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND GO THROUGH A BRIEF PRESENTATION THAT I HAVE THAT REALLY DOES FOCUS ON ALTERNATIVES THAT WERE LOOKED AT. AND TRY TO FIND THE LEAST INTRUSIVE MEANS TO ADDRESS THIS THIS SIGNIFICANT COVERAGE ISSUE AND WE'LL GET BACK TO THE COVERAGE ISSUE AS WELL. AND SO JUST TO MAKE SURE I'M DOING THIS CORRECTLY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SO THIS IS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DRAW USE ANNOTATION AND YOU CAN DRAW HERE RECOVER. YOU NEED TO AND CLEAR IT. THIS WILL JUST POINTED THAT WAY, AND IT'LL PERFECT DRINK. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THINGS THAT CAN BE CONFUSING ABOUT THESE THESE CELL TOWER SITES IS THE IS THE PROPAGATION MAPS BECAUSE OFTEN IT'S HARD. IT'S EASY TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE RANGE IN THE SCOPE OF WHAT THEY REPRESENT. THIS IS THE EXISTING COVERAGE THAT VERIZON WIRELESS HAS, WHICH IS THE TENANT THAT IS COMMITTED TO GO ON MY CLIENTS TOWER WHEN IT GETS CONSTRUCTED. GREEN IS IDEAL COVERAGE. INDOOR COVERAGE IN YOUR HOMES. SO YOUR PHONE TO WORK YOU DON'T HAVE TO WALK OUTSIDE TO HAVE A PHONE CALL.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WALK OUTSIDE TO CALL 911 EMERGENCY ON YOUR CELL PHONE. AND THEN THE LIGHTER, SHADED YELLOW IS IN VEHICLE OR OUTDOOR COVERAGE AGAIN. YOUR PHONE GENERALLY

[00:20:02]

WORKS OUTSIDE, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE DRUNK CALLS CONSISTENTLY IN YOUR HOME. UM THE NEXT WILL REPRESENT WHAT THE COVERAGE WILL LOOK LIKE AFTER THE TOWERS INSTALLED AND RIGHT THERE IN THE CENTER IS THE PROPOSED LOCATION OF THE TOWER. AGAIN. IT'S EASY TO LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT THE WHAT THIS REPRESENTS. AND SO WE OFTEN HEAR SUGGESTIONS FROM FROM FOLKS. FOR PROPOSED TOWERS THAT ARE OFTEN MILES AWAY, AND SO TO MAKE IT A LYRIC LITTLE CLEAR.

WHAT WE'VE DONE IS OVERLAY THAT WITH A GOOGLE MAP IMAGE SO THAT YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE THE WHERE THE GAP IS. UM UH, YOU THE GAP IS CONSISTENTLY AROUND THIS AREA AND EVEN EXTENDS. UP INTO THAT AREA. UM GETTING GOOD AT THIS. AND SO TO ZOOM IN A LITTLE CLOSER. YOU CAN TELL, UM THERE WE GO. GET BACK ONE. WHATEVER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BORDER BOUNDED BY WEST RIDGE BOULEVARD ON THE SOUTH VIRGINIA PARKWAY ON THE NORTH GENERALLY AND THEN UP AND DOWN INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY WITH WITH SOME COVERAGE GAPS THAT EXTEND TO THE NORTH OF VIRGINIA PARKWAY AND SOME A BIT SOUTH OF WEST RIDGE BOULEVARD. SO TYPICALLY WHEN ASSAD ACQUISITION COMPANY SOMEONE THAT SITES THESE TOWERS TRIES TO FIND A SITE THAT WORKS. WHAT YOU GENERALLY DO IS START RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY GAP IN COVERAGE. EXCEPTIONS TO THAT WOULD BE AREAS WHERE THERE'S TOPOGRAPHIC LIMITS. SO IF YOU'RE DOING THIS IN AUSTIN OR IN ATLANTA, VERY HILLY AREAS, YOU MIGHT START IN A HIGHER AREA THAT SHOOTS DOWN ACROSS A COVERAGE AREA. BUT WITH THIS YEAR WITH THE TOPOGRAPHY THAT WE HAVE RELATIVELY FLAT.

WITHOUT EXISTING STRUCTURES, LIKE A DOWNTOWN AREA THAT WOULD BLOCK COVERAGE. YOU GENERALLY START RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE AND THIS IS WHAT WAS WHAT WAS CITED. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT AREA, WHAT YOU COME UP WITH IS THREE PRIMARY LOCATIONS THERE AT LEAST POSSIBILITIES FOR WHERE TOWERED WORK. THE FIRE STATION TO THE RIGHT. THE SCHOOL PROPERTY THE NORTH AND THEN THE AMENITY CENTRE. THAT'S TO THE SOUTHWEST. AND SO WE'LL GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE, AND TALK ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF EACH. THE FIRE STATION WAS ACTUALLY, UH, AN OPTION THAT WAS INITIALLY PURSUED. THE SITE WAS CONSIDERED HIM MADE A PROPOSAL OF THE CITY AND THE CITY REJECTED IT BASED ON THE POLICY. THAT THAT PUBLIC SAFETY LOCATIONS WON'T BE THE LOCATIONS FOR TOWERS, POLICE STATIONS AND FIRE STATIONS WON'T BE RELEASED AND UTILIZED FOR TOWER LOCATIONS. REALLY IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST ANYWAY BECAUSE THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY APPROXIMATELY 320 FT BY 400 IS SMALL, SO SMALL THAT TO MEET A 2 TO 1 SETBACK, WHICH WE ACTUALLY EXCEED AT THE SCHOOL SITE. YOU WOULD NEED A PLACE THE TOWER DEAD CENTER OF THE PROPERTY WHERE THE FIRE STATION IS AND SO REALLY WHAT YOU WOULD ULTIMATELY HAVE IF WE SIDE OF THE TOWER AT THE FIRE STATION IS A TOWER SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY, VIOLATING SETBACKS TO DO A HUGE DEGREE. AND SO IT DIDN'T WORK FOR THE CITY VIOLATES THE SETBACKS. SO ANOTHER OPTION THAT TEMPLE DID NOT PURSUE, BUT IT IS THE AMENITY CENTRE TO THE SOUTHWEST. WHAT PERSON? I'M SORRY, DID NOT PURSUE IT, AND THERE'S GOOD REASONS FOR IT. THE POND RIGHT IN THE IN THE MIDDLE, MAKES THE SIGHTING VERY PROBLEMATIC. OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE GOT FLOOD ISSUES. YOU CAN'T PUT THE TOWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE POND, WHICH FORCES YOU TO THE EDGE EDGES OF THE PROPERTY. AND THEN IF YOU WERE TO GO TO THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE PROPERTY YOU'VE GOT YOU'VE GOT MOST OF THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTIES ALREADY UTILIZED AND YOU CONTINUE TO VIOLATE SETBACK. SO THAT WASN'T PURSUED REALLY AT ALL BECAUSE OF THE EXISTING LAYOUT OF THE PROPERTY. AND THAT TAKES US TO FOR LAND AREA.

YEAH. I'LL GO RIGHT BACK TO IT. I'M SORRY. YOU CALL IT A GAP? THE GAP IN COVERAGE. YES IT'S REALLY REPRESENTED RIGHT THERE. UM IS THE BEST IMAGE THAT WE HAVE OF IT. SO THE AREA JUST SOUTH OF WEST RIDGE ALL OF THIS AREA. THAT'S CORRECT, AND EVEN EVEN FURTHER NORTH INTO THAT, SO REALLY ALL THIS AREA IS SOUGHT TO BE TO ADDRESS THE COVERAGE GAP. JUST. THAT WELL, WE CAN GET TO SOME OF THE SOUTHERN OPTIONS THAT WERE PURSUED. IF YOU'D LIKE TO DISCUSS THOSE THE TOUGH THING ABOUT THAT AGAIN AS I INDICATED, IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE ADDRESSING A COVERAGE NEED AN AREA THAT'S THAT'S RELATIVELY FLAT FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES. YOU'RE GOING TO CITE THE TOWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OF THE OF THE GAP IN COVERAGE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PUT THE TOWER OF THE SOUTHERN END, YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE THE NECESSITY FOR MULTIPLE TOWERS, WHICH NO ONE WANTS. UM THAT'S NOT WHAT THE CITY IS INTERESTED IN. THAT'S NOT WHAT OBVIOUSLY TOWER OPERATORS AND WIRELESS CARRIERS ARE INTERESTED IN DOING IF YOU CAN SOLVE A PROBLEM WITH ONE TOWER. YOU TRY TO DO THAT RATHER THAN MULTIPLE TOWERS. AFTER SHOWS ALL THE TOWERS. AREA THAT NEW PILOT. I CAN SHOW YOU RIGHT THERE.

THERE'S THAT THEY'RE THE EXISTING THE ONLY EXISTING TOWER THAT SERVES VERIZON. IS THAT RIGHT THERE, AND THEN THERE WOULD PRESUMABLY BE ONE JUST OFF THE MAP TO THE WEST,

[00:25:01]

PROVIDING COVERAGE. WE DON'T HAVE THAT REFLECTED ON THE MAP. SO TYPICALLY THESE DAYS, THESE TOWERS, UM, ANTENNA INSTALLATIONS. ADDRESS COVERAGE NEEDS ANYWHERE FROM A HALF MILE TO THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE IN ANY GIVEN DIRECTION. AND SO IF YOU IF YOU MOVE A TOWER HALF MILE IN ANY GIVEN DIRECTION, OR THREE QUARTERS OF MELANIE GIVEN DIRECTION, YOU'RE GOING TO MISS THE COVERAGE GAP AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING AN AREA THAT'S THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

THIS MAP THAT WE'RE REALLY GONNA DO THIS. PRIZES. THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S NOT EVERYBODY'S GOT NO, THIS IS JUST VERIZON'S GAP. 18 T IS ALSO AS I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, HAS EXPRESSED STRONG INTEREST IN THE TOWER. IT'S NOT FRANKLY ON WE'VE GOT A KIND OF A CHICKEN OR THE EGG.

NOT ON THEIR BUDGET UNTIL IT'S APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. MCKINNEY I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, BUT BUT THEY HAVE EXPRESSED STRONG INTEREST IN GOING ON THIS TOWER AND HAVE A NEED IN THE AREA TO OTHER CARRIERS. HALF TOWERS IN THIS AREA. NONE THAT WOULD ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THAT WOULD BE THE EASIEST SOLUTION AND THAT'S FRANKLY ALWAYS WHAT THE CARRIERS GO TO BEFORE THEY ENGAGE A COMPANY LIKE MY CLIENTS TO BUILD A TOWER IS THEY TRY TO GO ON AN EXISTING TOWER THAT. THAT IS OPERATED BY BY SOMEONE ELSE SO EITHER T MOBILE OR 18 T. SURE. I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M GOING TO CLEAR THE. SO THERE'S AN EXISTING WATER TANK TO THE SOUTH OF WEST RIDGE. DID I GET IT CLOSE ENOUGH. YEAH, THAT THAT IF I CAN MOVE TO MY PRESENTATION, WE'VE GOT SOME INFORMATION ON THAT. BUT I KNOW THE CITY'S BEEN INTERESTED IN SEEING AND WE'VE GOT A RADIO FREQUENCY ENGINEER FROM VERIZON HERE. TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE DIFFICULTIES WITH INSTALLING ON THAT TOWER. YEAH. SURE. THERE'S AN EXIST THERE IS THERE'S AN EXISTING WATER TOWER OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY, RIGHT RIGHT THERE AT THE SOUTHERN SOUTH OF SOUTH OF WEST RIDGE. LET'S SEE HERE. SO AGAIN, WE GET TO FOR ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS WHERE WHERE MY CLIENT ENDED UP, NEGOTIATED, AT LEAST WITH THE WILLING LANDLORD PROVIDES THE BEST POSSIBLE COVERAGE WITH THE LEAST IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT'S THE ONLY REMAINING OPTION THAT ADDRESSES THE COVERAGE NEED ADEQUATELY.

UM, UH, THE EASTERN INTO THE PROPERTY IF WE CAN GO BACK, UM, REALLY CAN DIVIDE INTO THREE SECTORS THE EASTERN INTO THE INTO THE PROPERTY. IS IN THE FLOODPLAIN. AND SO IT DOESN'T DOESN'T WORK. THE SCHOOL PROVIDED A WILLING LANDLORD, THE AREA IN THE CENTRE, UM, IS OWNED BY A RESIDENT TO DEVELOPER. AND IF YOU LEARN ONE THING WITH, UM DOING SAD ACQUISITION WORK FOR ANY OF THESE TOWER COMPANIES, YOU KNOW IT'S A WASTE OF TIME TO TALK TO A, UH, A DEVELOPER ABOUT SIGNING A TOWER IN THEIR PROPERTY AS THE AS THE FIRST THE PROJECT THAT GOES IN THEY GLAD TO TALK ABOUT IT AS AN AMENITY LATER ON ONCE THEY'VE BUILT THEIR BUILT THEIR PROJECT, BUT IT'S NOT YOUR YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET A POSITIVE OUTCOME FROM TALKING TO THEM BEFORE IT'S DEVELOPED JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. AND SO THAT LEAVES US WITH WITH THE SCHOOL SIDE. UM SIT HERE. AGAIN OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. 18 T HAS SIMILARITIES IN THE AREAS. I'VE DISCUSSED. THE PROPOSED TEMPLE TOWER IS THE SLIMMEST POLE DESIGN AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET. IT ACTUALLY EXCEEDS THE SETBACKS THAT THE CITY IS ESTABLISHED FOR CELL TOWERS AND OTHER LOCATIONS. ACCORDING TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE TERRORIST BEEN CITED BY THE LEAST AMOUNT OF DISRUPTION TO THE SCHOOL. WE LOOKED AT AN OPTION OF DOING THE TOWER ON THE SOUTHEASTERN SIDE OF THE PROPERTY THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED. BUT THERE'S PORTABLES THAT ARE GOING TO BE GOING IN. THE SCHOOL IS DEALING WITH CAPACITY ISSUES, AND SO THEY, OBVIOUSLY THAT THE EDUCATION OF THE CHILDREN PARAMOUNT, AND THAT'S WHERE THE PORTABLES ARE GONNA BE LOCATED. UM, UM. COUNCIL WOMAN FELT US YOU'D ADDRESS ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT IS THERE ANY SCHOOL ACTIVITIES CARPAL OCCURS BACK AND FORTH GENERALLY IN THE LOCATION WHERE THE TOWER IS, UM, BUT NO REGULAR RECESS OR PLAYTIME. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN USED A BIT DURING DURING COVID WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING TO SPREAD PEOPLE OUT. NO REGULAR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES OCCUR THERE, AND ACCORDING TO THE SCHOOL, IT WON'T PROVIDE ANY ANY APPRECIABLE DISRUPTION TO THE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. UM. UM AS AGAIN AS WE DISCUSSED THE AESTHETICS OF THE BOUNDARY WALL WILL MATCH THE SCHOOL GYMNASIUM. AND WE'VE DISCUSSED THE FALL RISK THAT THE CITY REQUIRED WIND LOAD CAPACITY IS AN EQUIVALENT TO AN EF ONE TORNADO AND AT THAT WIND LOW LEVEL. THE TOWER WILL ONLY BE STRESSED TO 58% OF ITS CAPACITY. UM UM AND IS DESIGNED TO BUCKLE AT 40 FT, SO THERE'S SAFETY ISSUES AND SAFETY CONCERNS FOR ANYONE, UM, REALLY WON'T BE AN ISSUE THE TOWERS BUILT TO WITHSTAND TORNADOES. ITS INTENT, ADDRESS COVERAGE AND CAPACITY DEFICIENCIES IN THE

[00:30:06]

AREA FOR VERIZON AND WILL AGAIN GET TO THIS IN A MOMENT. IT'S A TOP FIVE SITE IN THE NORTH TEXAS MARKET THAT STRETCHES EFFECTIVELY FROM WICHITA FALLS. TO TEXARKANA NORTH INTO OKLAHOMA AND SOUTH TO WACO. THIS IS A TOP FIVE SITE FOR VERIZON, SO THIS IS A HUGE PRIORITY FOR THEM, WHICH IS WHY, FRANKLY, THEY'VE GOT SEVERAL PEOPLE HERE TO SPEAK.

THE GOAL AGAIN IS PROVIDES SAFE AND SECURE. 9 11 911 SERVICE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SCHOOL, IT'S NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A GROWING CITY AND ESPECIALLY AS WE GET INCREASES AND WORK FROM HOME DEMANDS, BETTER COVERAGE AND HIGHER CAPACITY BECOME NECESSARY.

ANOTHER CONSIDERATION THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT, UH, THE CITY PUBLISHES A MAP THAT INDICATES SUITABLE LOCATIONS. THIS IS FOR SMALL. SO INSTALLATIONS. UM BUT WOULD BE COMPARABLE, AND ACTUALLY THE CITY ON THIS WEBSITE, DIRECT PEOPLE TO FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, SAYING THIS IS A OTHER THAN RIGHTS OF WAY. SCHOOLS AND HISTORIC PROPERTIES ARE THE LOCATIONS THAT THE CITY IS DIRECTING PEOPLE TO FOR SMALL CELL INSTALLATIONS. THIS IS NOT A SMALL STONE INSTALLATION. I SHOULD POINT OUT, THIS IS THE KIND OF DIRECTION AND FEEDBACK THAT WE GET GET FROM THE CITY. UM. SEE OTHER SCHOOLS NOT WITHIN THE CITY, MCKENNEY BUT OTHER SCHOOLS AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE CELL TOWERS. UH PROSPEROUS D AGAIN HAS HAD TWO PROPOSED TOWERS AND THEIR PROPERTIES. TOP MIDDLE SCHOOL IN FRISCO, HENDRICK MIDDLE SCHOOL AND PLAN. OH, ACTUALLY, IT HAS TWO TOWERS IN THE PROPERTY AND THEN CURVE ON INCUR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ALAN HAVE PROPERTY TWO TOWERS IN THE PROPERTY. THESE ARE NOT MOCK UPS. THESE ARE EXISTING TOWERS. HENDRIK MIDDLE SCHOOL IN PLANO. ACTUALLY, THIS IS THE ONE WITH TWO TOWERS. THERE IT IS FROM THE STREET LEVEL. THIS IS KURT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND ALAN YOU SEE THE TOWER RIGHT THERE. AND THAT'S NOT A PHOTO SIMULATION. YOU CAN DRIVE BY IT TODAY IF YOU'D LIKE. AND VON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGAIN AND ALAN. I SHOULD NOTE THIS ONE. UH, OUR TOWER IS FAR FURTHER AWAY FROM EXISTING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY THAN THIS. THIS TERROR IS IN AND ALAN. UM.

THAT'S THE END OF THIS PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION. WHAT THE POINT I JUST WANT TO MAKE WITH THAT IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PRACTICE. I JUST FOCUSED ON THE CITY'S REALLY IMMEDIATELY AROUND. MCKINNEY I CAN GIVE DOZENS AND DOZENS AND DOZENS OF EXAMPLES FURTHER AND FURTHER WE GET AWAY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ALL OVER THE METROPLEX ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE REGULARLY INSTALLING THESE TOWERS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY. WITH WITH LITTLE NO ISSUES FAR AS WE KNOW, AND THEN THE LAST THING I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY READ. WE JUST GOT TODAY. VERIZON WIRELESS ON ITS OWN ACCORDING TO ITS OWN COST. CONDUCTED A TEXT MESSAGING CAMPAIGN OF ITS CUSTOMERS WITH WITHIN THREE ZIP CODES, AND I'VE GOT A COPY OF THE LETTER THAT'S BEING SENT TO THE CITY. I'M REGARDING THIS. MM. WHAT THIS TEXT MESSAGE SAID. THIS WENT OUT JULY 1ST. AND THROUGH SIX DAYS WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT SOME RESULTS, THE TEXT SAID.

VERIZON EXCUSE ME HELP US IMPROVE WIRELESS VOICE AND DATA SERVICE IN YOUR AREA. LIKE YES TO THIS MESSAGE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR A NEW WIRELESS FACILITY IN THE MCKINNEY RISK, WEST RIDGE ROSE GARDEN AREA NEAR FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. YOU MAY ALSO ADD AN OPTIONAL MESSAGE DESCRIBING YOUR SUPPORT TO CITY OFFICIALS. VERIZON DOES THESE TEXT CAMPAIGNS ON OCCASION AND TYPICALLY SEES OVER ABOUT 200 RESPONSES IN THIS CASE THEY RECEIVED OVER 900 RESPONSES WITH 913 RESPONSES OF YES, THEY WERE IN FAVOUR. 19 RESPONSES SAID THEY WERE OPPOSED TO THE TOWER. SOME SAMPLES JUST SO I CAN READ FOR THE HOW MANY OF THOSE CAN 7535 YEAH. SO THE I DON'T HAVE A BREAKDOWN BY ZIP CODE, BUT THIS WAS SENT TO THREE ZIP CODES THAT EVIDENTLY THIS AREA REALLY HAS OKAY? UM. JUST SOME SAMPLE RESPONSES, AND WE PROVIDED POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE. SOME OF THE NEGATIVES. I REALLY CAN'T REPEAT IN A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT SOME OF THE POSITIVES YES. MY SERVICE HAS BEEN BAD AT MY HOUSE AND NEEDS IMPROVEMENT.

YES WE NEED THE ADDED SERVICE IN THIS AREA. TWO EXCLAMATION MARKS. YES CURRENTLY I DO NOT HAVE GOOD RECEPTION IN MY HOUSE. I FREQUENTLY HAVE TO SIT OUTSIDE TO MAKE PHONE CALLS.

YES OFTEN. RECEPTION IS BAD. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO BE ABLE TO BETTER COMMUNICATE. BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN, OBVIOUSLY, FROM A PARENT THERE, UM POSSIBLY WITH CHILDREN, THE KIDNEY CHILDREN AT THE SCHOOL. YES MY LOCATION IN MCKINNEY IS VERY POOR CELL SERVICE. WE NEED BETTER FACILITIES IN THIS AREA. FROM WINSTON VZ SIGNED YES. CURRENT RECEPTION IS WEAK, WHICH RESULTS IN DROPPED CALLS. YES WIRELESS FACILITIES ARE ESSENTIAL TO QUALITY

[00:35:03]

COMMUNICATIONS AND HAVE LITERALLY NO ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED. YES THEY APPRECIATE THE IMPROVEMENT. I'VE BEEN A VERIZON CUSTOMER FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE A HARD TIME HERE. MCKINNEY GETTING A GOOD SIGNAL. YES I GET TWO BARS IN MY HOUSE, AND IT'S PROBLEMATIC. WE NEED STRONGER COVERAGE IN MCKINNEY AGAIN. THAT'S JUST A SAMPLE OF THE 913. YES, RESPONSES. UM AND ONLY 19 FOLKS AGAIN. THIS IS JUST VERIZON CUSTOMERS. WERE OPPOSED TO THIS INSTALLATION. UM. I KNOW THERE'S QUESTIONS AND I KNOW WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS THE WATER TOWER. I'M GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS MAY BE UNRELATED TO THE WATER TOWER, AND THEN WE CAN BRING UP THE VERIZON REPRESENTATIVE TO ADDRESS THE WATER TOWER ISSUE.

IF THAT, IF THAT, IF THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. LET'S BRING HIM UP. GREAT, OKAY? IF YOU COME ON UP. VERIZON WIRELESS HAS DONE AND ROSE UP A RADIO FREQUENCY ENGINEER THAT HELPS DESIGN THESE NETWORKS. AND SO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE SAW, UM THE MAP. UM.

THAT SHOWED THE BEFORE AND AFTER COVERAGE WITH THE SCHOOL SITE. WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS MAPS THAT HE'LL WALK THROUGH THAT COVER. IT SHOW COVERAGE BEFORE AND AFTER THE WATER TOWER SITE, SO. GOOD EVENING TO THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS ROBERT RAMOS. I LIVE IN 1 TO 518 IN GLASBERG TRAIL FORWARD TEXAS. I'VE BEEN OUT OF DESIGN AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS FOR 20 YEARS NOW, SINCE 4000. SO BASICALLY, I'LL GO OVER TO THE LITTLE BIT OF A TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN WE PICK UP WHEN WE SELECT THIS LOCATION FOR THE TOWER, LIKE, UH, WE WERE EXPLAINING EARLY ON PAGE NUMBER TWO OF THE DOCUMENT. I'M SHOWING THE AREA THAT WE'RE TRYING TO IMPROVE, AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR BOTH CAPACITY AND PERFORMANCE. YOU SEE IN THIS AREA THAT YOU HAVE PROBLEMS INSIDE THE HOUSES. WE WANT TO GIVE THE SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE. THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME AND WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE. RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE ONE MAJOR SECTOR THAT IS SERVING. UH THIS ONE MY RADIOS THAT WE WANT TO IMPROVE, SO ONE SECTOR, IT IS NOT ENOUGH. IT'S LOW SPEEDS. YOU HAVE TROUBLES DOWNLOADING INFORMATION AND UPLOADING INFORMATION AND EMAILS. SO I'M VERY ON PAGE NUMBER TWO. DOES THE IDEA THAT WE WANT TO IMPROVE THOSE BETWEEN WEST REGION? UH, VIRGINIA, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE MILE RADIUS, BUT THE SITE CAN EXTEND THE COVERAGE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO 1.5 MILE RADIUS. WHEN YOU GO TO PAGE NUMBER THREE IS LIKE NUMBER THREE. IT SHOWS THE GOVERNMENT COVERAGE. IT SHOWS THE CURRENT SIDE IS ON THE FAR RIGHT. ON THE NEWS SIDE OF BOTH SIDE ON FOUR CITY IS ON THE FOR ELEMENTARY IS ON THE CENTER OF THE RING. THAT IS WHAT WE CALL AN OPTIMAL LOCATION FOR WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE. THEY WILL GIVE US PRETTY MUCH 90% OF THE COVERAGE THAT WE WANT TO IMPROVE IN THIS AREA. NOW WE COME TO THE LINE NUMBER FOUR. THAT IS THE NEW COOPERATION.

AND YOU SEE THAT WE PRETTY MUCH COVERED THE ENTIRE RED CIRCLE THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AS THE OBJECTIVE FOR THIS SIDE. NOW, THIS IS INTERESTING. WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO EVALUATE WATER TANK I THINK IS PART OF THE QUESTION OF THE COUNCIL. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT NUMBER IF YOU SLIDE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE YOU SEE, THE NUMBER FIVE IS THE LOCATION OF THE WATER TANK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RING. THAT IS, UH. NOT AN OPTIMAL LOCATION WE CAN ACHIEVE PROBABLY 30 TO 40% OF THE COVERAGE. SO IN THE FUTURE, WE MIGHT NEED ANOTHER. UH SECOND TOWER ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS AREA. SO IF WE WERE TO BE ABLE TO GET AN UPPER WORLD FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LOCATION. WE CAN COVER UP TO 80 OR 90% OF THE OF THE AREA THAT WE WANT TO IMPROVE. IF WE GO ON THE WATER TANK. ONLY ONE SECTOR WILL HELP THIS AREA AND IS ONLY 40. THE OTHER, UH, SLIGHTS. SIX SELECT SIX IS THE CURRENT SECTOR SERVING THIS AREA. IF YOU SEE IS THE BLUE SECTOR. I'M SORRY. W SECTOR THAT COMING FROM THE FROM THE EAST. IS THE ONE THAT DOMINATES, AND IT'S RIGHT NOW WHAT WE CALL COMPOSING UTILIZATION IS MORE A IS ABOVE 100% SO WE'RE EXCEEDING THE CAPACITY OF THIS SITE. IN 2021. NOW WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SLIDE NUMBER SEVEN DOES THE NEW TOWER AND YOU SEE, IT IS SPREAD EVENLY, UH, ON ALL THREE SECTORS ON THIS SITE, AND IT WILL PROVIDE US A TOTAL OF 15 CARRIER SECTORS. THAT'S A HUGE IMPROVEMENT IN THE AREA. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LAST LINE, WHICH IS NUMBER EIGHT, YOU'LL

[00:40:03]

SEE THAT, UH, IF WE USE THE WATER TANK. ONE SECTOR. MAYBE IT WILL COVER THE AREA.

PROBABLY 30 30% 40. AND OUR CURRENT SIDE, WHICH IS OVERLOADED, ALREADY MAINTAINS THE COVERAGE OF THE AREA, SO WE DON'T SEE. BY LOOKING AT THE WATERTOWN. WE DON'T SEE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. WHILE BEING IN THE IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THAT'S THAT'S THE OPTIMAL SOLUTION. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN THIS DESIGN. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.

SITES. YEAH, WE EVALUATED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT LOCATION, BUT IT WAS DISCOVERED BECAUSE OF STONING. YEAH. THIS. THIS IS FOR CELL SERVICE AND, UM. WE PROVIDE FOUR G SERVICES ON FIVE YEAR SERVICES, SO IT'S UH FOR PHONE CALLS DATA EMAILS. IT'S ALL IN THE SAME TIME DATA.

YEAH. QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. HAVE MORE THAT YOU LIKE TO SHARE OR IT WAS A PUBLIC HEARING WOULD HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. THERE ARE ANY QUESTION. RIGHT. SO THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. I HAVE FOUR PEOPLE HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. RALPH WIND GARDEN. SEVERAL OF THE CARDS THAT YOU HAVE OUR OTHER, UM PEOPLE WHO REPRESENTED THE APPLICANT THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AS WELL. SO RALPH, FOR EXAMPLE, MR WEINGARTEN IS HERE. JUST ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT I THINK HAS ANYTHING OH, YEAH. YEAH. I'LL BE BRIEF. I THINK MASON ENROLLED. DID A GREAT JOB. MY NAME IS RALPH WINE GARDEN FROM FALKEN FOSTER 6 78 FRONT AVENUE, NORTHWEST GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, 49504. HERE ON BEHALF OF HIM PILL. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO STAFF FROM THE BEGINNING FROM BEFORE APPLICATION AND THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS. JENNIFER ARNOLD AND CAITLIN SHEFFIELD HAVE BOTH BEEN A GREAT DEAL OF HELP, AND WE HAVE ENDEAVOURED TO BE CAREFUL AND DILIGENT WITH THIS APPLICATION TO BUILD SOLID SUPPORTING EVIDENCE FOR THIS APPLICATION. WE DID SUBMIT A NUMBER OF PIECES, WHICH WE HAVEN'T LOOKED AT TONIGHT, BUT, UH. PHOTO SIMULATION VIEWS. WE'VE LIMITED THE TOWER HEIGHT TO 80 FT, WHICH IS QUITE A MODEST SIZE FOR THESE TYPES OF TOWERS. WE HAVE DONE A STEALTH DESIGN WHERE THE ANTENNAS ARE FULLY CONCEALED WITHIN THE POLL. IN TERMS OF THE MASONRY WALL. WE'VE GONE TO AN EIGHT FT MASONRY WHILE AND IT WILL MATCH THE STONEWORK IN BRICKWORK. AND THE BUILDING SCHOOL BUILDING ITSELF, AND WE'LL ALSO PLANTS MARTIN JENNIFER AROUND THE OUTSIDE, SO I TRIED TO BE DILIGENT AND SCREENING THIS. I KNOW YOU'VE HAD PASSED APPLICANTS THAT DIDN'T MEET SETBACKS AND THE RULE OF THUMB HAS BEEN TWO TIMES TOWER HIGH. WE WANTED TO BE DILIGENT TO MAKE SURE WE MET THAT IN THIS LOCATION. WE'D ALSO, UH, JUST NOTE THE STAFF REPORT TO HAS LOOKED AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LOOKED AT THE OTHER REGULATIONS AND NOTED THAT THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER REGULATIONS. AND THEM. JUST LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO I CONCUR WITH THE STAFF REPORT AND WITH THE 70 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION VOTE AND RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL TONIGHT. I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AS WELL AS APPROPRIATE. THANK YOU ASK HIM. I DIDN'T GET ARE YOU REPRESENTING? WHO ARE YOU REPRESENTING? HEMPHILL THE TOWER OWNER HEMPHILL. YEAH IT'S A IT'S A PROPOSED TEMPLE TOWER. I COULDN'T HEAR YOU. YEAH. SO YOU'RE YOU'RE REPRESENTING THE COMPANY THAT'S PUTTING. SO IS MASON. YEAH. AND THEN VERIZON REPRESENTATIVES HERE TONIGHT.

OUR TENANTS ON OUR TOWER, WE BUILT IT FROM MULTIPLE. WHAT WAS YOUR ADDRESS AGAIN? UH MY ADDRESS WAS 6 78 FRONT AVENUE, NORTHWEST AND GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN. YES. THANK YOU.

THANKS. LUCAS COUNTER. RIGHT, SHELDON PEARSON, THANKS AND GARY HARTNACK. UM NO, I ONLY HAVE. WE MET THREE MINUTES, WHICH I FEEL IS A LITTLE BIT LIMITING, BUT AT ANY RATE. UM TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS AS QUICKLY AS I CAN. UM, AS A RESIDENT OF MCKINNEY AGAIN I'M GARY HARNICK 101 OR FIVE SAIL BOARD DRIVE. WAS RESIDENT MCKINNEY AT THAT LOCATION. I WANT TO ONCE AGAIN VOICE MY STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE REZONING REQUEST FOR THE PROPOSED 80 FT FIVE G CELL TOWER AT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND WE KNOW THAT IS PROSPER, SD. BEFORE MY WIFE AND I DECIDED TO GO THEIR HOME ON CYRIL BOARD DRIVE. WE RESEARCHED HOW THE OPEN LAND BEHIND OUR OR BEHIND HER HOME WOULD BE USED IN THE FUTURE. WE

[00:45:01]

WERE TOLD BY THE DEVELOPER THAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WOULD EVENTUALLY BE BUILT THERE. SO ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS BUILT THERE. MHM. THAT SCHOOL IS THERE TODAY BEHIND OUR HOUSE, WHICH WAS PART OF THE PLAN. HOWEVER. AN 80 FT FIVE G CELL TOWER BEHIND HER HOUSE WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN WAS NOT PART OF THE DEAL. WE ALSO FEEL THAT AN 80 FT FIVE G CELL TOWER BEHIND OUR HOUSE WILL NOT BE DESIRED. AS PART OF THE DEAL FOR MANY HOME BUYERS WHEN THEY WANT TO, UH, LOOK AT OUR HOME WHEN WE TRY TO SELL IT. THIS TOWER WILL BE APPROXIMATELY TWICE THE HEIGHT. THE SCHOOL GYMNASIUM. IT IS PLANNED FOR THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS THE CLOSEST SIDE OF THE SCHOOL TO AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL AREA. UM. THE PROJECT TREATS RESIDENTS ON SALE BOARD. DR. I FEEL. AS THOUGH THEY WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY THE NEGATIVE VISUAL IMPACT OF THE POTENTIAL PROPERTY DEVALUATION. DUE TO THIS 80 HO TOWER. MY QUESTION IS, WOULD YOU US COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT AN 80 FT 55 G CELL TOWER BEHIND YOUR HOUSE. NUMBER THREE THAT I HAVE ON MY LIST. IN ADDITION, THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SCHOOL TO ANSWER DOCTORS QUESTION. UM, IS PRECISELY WHERE CHILDREN ARE CONGREGATING OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL. THIS SIDE OF THE SCHOOL IS USED FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION. WITH PAINTED SQUARES ON THE SIDEWALK FOR GAMES. AFFORDABLE TELLER BALL STANDS AND IT HAS THE STUDENT BIKE RACKS. CONTRARY TO THE VENDOR LETTER. OF INTENT. THE PROPOSED FIVE G CELL TOWER WILL NOT BE 140 FT. AWAY FROM WHERE THE CHILDREN HAVE THESE ACTIVITIES. THIS IS ALSO EXACTLY WHERE PARENTS WAIT IN LINE EVERY SCHOOL DAY. FOR STUDENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP UM NUMBER FOUR. IN HER PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING. THE CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST REQUEST. FOR A CELL TOWER OUT OF SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. I FEEL THAT APPROVAL OF THIS FIVE JESUS TOWER. ADEMAS MCKINNEY SCHOOL IS AN UNWISE PRECEDENT.

WHICH WILL ALLOW MORE TO QUICKLY FOLLOW. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN 2000 AND FOUR US AND CANADIAN MEMBERSHIP OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIREFIGHTERS. PASSED A RESOLUTION OPPOSING CELL TOWERS. ON OR ADJACENT TO FIRE STATIONS DUE TO DOCUMENTED HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS IS A CRITICAL ISSUE. AND IF IT'S CRITICAL ISSUE FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A CRITICAL ISSUE FOR OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU, SIR. YEAH.

SAYS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT IS HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM THAT DID NOT FILL OUT A CARD? SEEN NONE ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING MOVED. MOVED TO CLOSE.

SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. SAY AYE, ALRIGHT. RIGHT? PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. DELIBERATION. FROM WHAT? I UNDERSTOOD THE SITES THAT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED MM. JENNIFER, COULD YOU WORRY. AND COMING BACK UP. YOU PULL THE MAP BACK, ACTUALLY IMPRESSED IF YOU WOULD MIND HER. I'M SORRY.

GO TO THE APPLICANT PRESENTATION WHERE THEY HAD THE MAP. THAT CAN SCROLL BACK TO IT. THAT'S THAT'S THE. THREE LOCATIONS. I GUESS THERE'S REALLY FOUR BECAUSE THE WATER TOWER WOULD HAVE BEEN 1/4 LOCATION. HEART WAS METAPHOR. COURSE. MHM. JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT EACH OF THESE LOCATIONS ESPECIALLY THE WATER TOWER. IS SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. MM HMM. YES. POINT OF CLARIFICATION, RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND EVERYONE. BUT ON THE WATER TOWER, EXISTING WATER TERROR TO THIS DAY. DOES HAVE. MEDICATION DEVICES ON IT SO YOU CAN CO LOCATE ON A WATER TOWER. I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE WATER TOWER UM, THE BASE OF THE WATER TOWER IS ABOUT 85 TO 90 FT IN HEIGHT AND THE CO LOCATION WOULD OCCUR AT AROUND IN THE 80 TO 90 FT HEIGHT. BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT'S PROVIDED BY THEM, AND I WILL DEFINITELY DIFFER MORE TO THE APPLICANT. THE COVERAGE EXPANSE TO REACH THEIR, UH, YOU KNOW, DIP IN COVERAGE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT FOR THEM

[00:50:06]

TO GAIN WHAT THEY WERE HOPING TO GAIN WITH, ADDED ADDED CELL TOWER AT THAT HEIGHT. THE COMMON YEAH. MAKE. I'LL MAKE A COMMENT. UM REALLY? DON'T THINK IT'S AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION PROOF CELL TOWER. I'M SKEPTICAL ON WHETHER THEY ACTUALLY INVESTIGATED ALL THE SIDES ATHLETE THAT COULD BE POSSIBLE. AND EVEN IF YOU DO, YOU DO HAVE TO DO TWO TOWERS. IS IT BETTER TO DO TO THEN PUT IT IN AN INAPPROPRIATE? LOCATION. IT'S KIND OF NOT. LIKE TO JUMP IN THERE TO FOLLOW RICK AS RICK JUST HIT IT ON THE HEAD FOR ME. I'VE NEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS APPROPRIATE LOCATION, UM, FOR THE SCHOOL REASON JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL. I DO THINK THE WATER TOWERS WHO ARE OUR EXISTING WATER COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT'S WATER AND COMMUNICATION. THAT'S WHAT PRETTY MUCH HAPPENS IN EVERY CITY ON THEIR WATER TOWERS THAT ARE OPERATING AND IF THEY HAVE TO INVEST IN TWO TOWERS TO MAKE THE COVERAGE WORK THAT INVEST IN TWO TOWERS. THE POPULATION GROWTH HERE IS GOING TO SHOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE IT. SO THERE'S NO THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO WANT TO INVEST IT AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT WITH NO OPPOSITION. WE HAVE 40 LETTERS OF OPPOSITION AND WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE FROM PARENTS AND FAMILIES IN THAT AREA. DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN IN OPPOSITION LETTER FROM ANYTHING ON A WATER TOWER. ANY OTHER TALENT. SO THERE'S MY POINT. BECAUSE I'M GOING TO LISTEN TO THOSE FAMILIES. I BELIEVE THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE SIDES THAT WOULD EQUALLY SERVED THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NEEDS OF RISING LOCATED WITHIN THE SPECIFIC AREA. BECAUSE OF THAT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE I WOULD VOTE AGAINST THIS. DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCATION. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PROJECT. I THINK IT'S NEEDED.

UM I HAVE. ALWAYS GO BACK AND KIND OF LAUGH BECAUSE NOW WE'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO LETTERS OF OPPOSITION AND THERE WAS A PROJECT AND NEAR MY HOUSE THAT GOT 290 LETTERS OF OPPOSITION, BUT WE PASSED THAT. WITH NO PROBLEM AND SO THIS. I KNOW YOU DID, BUT ANYWAY, WE, UH I THINK THIS IS A GREAT LOCATION. I THINK THAT THAT I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE SCHOOL IS GETTING THE MONEY MEANS VERSUS SOME. YOU KNOW SOMEWHERE, SOMEBODY ELSE GETTING THE MONEY AND SOME INDIVIDUAL ON SOME PROPERTY. THE SCHOOL'S GETTING THE MONEY, AND THERE'S OTHER. THERE'S OTHER TOWERS ON OTHER SCHOOLS. IF IT WAS TRULY A. A CONCERN. I THINK IT WOULD. IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED, BUT. THE SCHOOL DOESN'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT. IN FACT, THEY'RE WELCOMING IT.

I'M SURE THE HOMEOWNER IS GONNA REALLY APPRECIATE IT. AND I THINK WE'D BE FOOLISH NOT TO APPROVE. APPROVE THIS. I AM GOING TO SAY THAT. THIS IS POLITICALLY NOT A NOT A. NOT A POPULAR POSITION THAT MAYOR PRO TEM JUST TOOK. AND THEN I'M GONNA TAKE, YOU KNOW, NUMBER ONE. THERE'S WE DON'T GET OPPOSITIONS OF LETTERS. UM UH, ON WATER TOWERS, BECAUSE THERE'S NO REZONING THERE, AND ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS. GET THROUGH OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND ACCEPT OUR TERMS. I KNOW THAT WHEN TOWERS, SOMEONE SAID, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT NEXT TO YOUR HOME? WELL, I'VE GOT A. EIGHT CELL TOWERS, PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, 100 YARDS FROM MY HOME AND WHEN THEY FIRST WERE BEING PUT ON THIS BELL TOWER, I WAS JUST CATEGORICALLY OPPOSED. I FELT IT WAS GOING TO HURT THE VALUE OF MY HOME. I THOUGHT THEY WERE TERRIBLE LOOKING UP. THEY'RE NO DIFFERENT THAN WHEN THEY'RE ON THE WATER TOWER. IT TURNS OUT, IT HAD NO IMPACT ON THE VALUE OF MY HOME, BUT IT TOTALLY ENHANCE MY LIVING EXPERIENCE AND THAT I FINALLY COULD TALK ON MY PHONE IN MY HOUSE. MHM. BUT IT'S THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT. I DON'T THINK THERE WILL EVER BE A CASE WHERE THERE'S NOT LETTERS OF OPPOSITION. IF THERE'S RESIDENTIAL HOMES AROUND, AND WE'LL NEVER HAVE A SITUATION WHEN THE TOWERS BEING PROPOSED WHERE THERE'S NO RESIDENTIAL HOMES AROUND. DON'T NEED A TOWER. YOU NEED SERVICE. AND AGAIN WE DON'T HEAR THOSE LETTERS OF OPPOSITION ON WATER CAMERAS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SONY NO ONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPPOSE THEM. THEY JUST APPEAR.

IT JUST APPEARED ON MY ON OUR TOWER IN ADRIATIC TO UM. THE FACT IS, THE COVERAGE IS NEEDED AND THAT THE SCHOOL WILL BENEFIT AND TO SAY THAT THE SCHOOL OUR CHILDREN, OUR FAMILY DOESN'T BENEFIT BECAUSE IT'S PROSPER. I S D I THINK IS WRONG. I THINK THAT OUR OUR CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL THERE, TOO. AND THAT INCOME TO THAT SCHOOL IN THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT

[00:55:02]

SERVES OUR CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THAT SCHOOL, SO I THINK IT'S A. IT'S INCORRECT TO SAY THAT WE DON'T GET A BENEFIT BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS NOT IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. FAR AS I KNOW OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL THERE. I WANT THAT SCHOOL TO BE EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN THE CITY, SO NOT POPULAR. BUT, UM. AS A DEVELOPER. I KNOW THAT IT'S ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO HURT ANYONE'S HOME VALUE. IT JUST IT JUST DOESN'T IT'S ALWAYS THE THOUGHT NEEDS TO GO TO POSITION AND I UNDERSTAND IT, BUT IT'S REALLY OUT OF FEAR. IT'S NOT OUT OF HISTORICAL EVIDENCE. UM. WILL SERVE A GREAT GREAT PURPOSE AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY. THERE. IT IS IN GREAT NEED, SO I AM GOING TO SUPPORT IT, ALTHOUGH I KNOW IT'S NOT POPULAR. WANT TO ASK A QUESTION OF THEIR ENGINEER. MIKE. MR ENGINEER, WOULD YOU COME BACK UP? THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BACKED OUT OF THIS LEASE. WHERE WOULD YOU PUT THIS TOWER? IF THE SCHOOL DID SIT BACK OUT, WE'RE BEING A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE. SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT ALTERNATE. SUCH RIGHT.

WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ALTERNATE SIDES. JUST ONE. PROBABLY PROBABLY NOT THE BEST SOLUTION FOR THIS COMMUNITY OR YOU'LL TAKE. WE START FROM FROM CEDAR, RIGHT FROM SQUARE ONE. WE HAVE TO START PROBABLY. TALKING ABOUT TWO MORE YEARS OF RESEARCH AND WORK. DID YOU INVESTIGATE ANY COMMON PROPERTIES CONTROLLED BY THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION THERE? I'LL DEFER THAT TO MY REAL ESTATE TEAM. I'M NOT AWARE OF OTHER AND YOU'RE DISCUSS ANY LOCATIONS WOULD BE OUR HEART. THEY ARE HORTON BUILDER, THE WILDERS. YES NO, I'LL DEFER THAT TO MY JAIL ESTATE TEAM. I DON'T WE DIDN'T GOT THAT OPTION IS ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES, RIGHT. THANK YOU. RIGHT? QUESTIONS FROM THE MHM. OTHER COMMENTS. JUST TO MAKE A PLACEHOLDER, RIGHT? I AGREE WITH YOU, MR MAYOR. WE NEEDED WE NEEDED FOR COVERAGE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND. GOOD PERSON. IT'S ONE OF THOSE NECESSARY THINGS THAT I MEAN, IT'S NO ONE IS GOING TO WANT AND AGAIN. I SEE THAT. THERE'S BEEN FOUR ALTERNATIVE SITES, AND I THINK THAT THEY COULD GO TO FOUR MORE SITES AND ANYONE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PICKED. WE WOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPOSITION AND I THINK IF THEY PICK FOUR MORE, WE'RE GOING TO THE SAME OPPOSITION BECAUSE THE FACT IS, I GET IT RIGHT. YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU DON'T WANT THE TOWER. THANK GOD THEY LOOK LIKE THEY DO TODAY VERSUS WHAT THEY DID 10 YEARS AGO. FIVE YEARS AGO. BUT I GET IT AND SO WE'LL HAVE THE OPPOSITION. NO MATTER WHAT SITE IT GOES TO.

THERE'S GOING TO BE OPPOSITION. WE CAN COUNT ON THAT UNLESS IT'S GOING TO GO ON A CITY OWNED PROPERTY, AND THEN WE WON'T GET LETTERS OF OPPOSITION WITH THE SCALE LETTERS OF COMPLAINTS AFTER THE FACT. BECAUSE I WROTE A NOTE DOWN EARLIER THAT JENNIFER WHEN YOU'RE. TALKING EARLIER. DID YOU SAY THEY HAD NOT BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE DURING THE WORK SESSION? NO. I WAS SAYING THAT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PROPAGATION MAPS FROM THEM. HAD THEY INSTALL THE TOWER ON THE WEST RIDGE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK, SO NOT NONRESPONSIVE, BUT JUST NOT INFORMATION THAT THEY PROVIDED. THAT'S ONE OF MY MINDSET. SURE. MHM. CONCEPT KIND OF REMINDS ME OF THE FOX GUARDING THE HENHOUSE HERE. BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY DON'T LIKE IT. AND THEY DIDN'T BRING US ANY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRACT. OBVIOUSLY, I WOULDN'T EITHER. IT'S ABOUT GETTING GETTING PEOPLE THE COVERAGE AND THIS CITY COUNCIL IS GOING TO DENY THAT THIS THE COVERAGE FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO OR THREE BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA YOU KNOW. TIME TO MOVE ON. PRETTY SAD. THEY DO HAVE A VERY PAPER DOUBLE ACT THAT WAS WRITTEN BY YOUR FEDERAL LEGISLATURE 1996, WHICH WAS WRITTEN AT A TIME WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE INTERNET COVERAGE EVERYWHERE. AND IT WAS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY FOR TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANIES TO GO OUT AND FORCED THEMSELVES ON PEOPLE. WELL WE'RE NOT IN 1996 ANYMORE. WHERE IN 2021 EVERYBODY HAS INTERNET COVERAGE. WE ALL WALK AROUND WITH COMPUTERS IN YOUR HAND THAT ARE. MORE POWERFUL THAN THE COMPUTER AT THE UNIVERSITY IN THE TOWN.

I GREW UP WITH THAT WAS AN ENTIRE BUILDING. AND THIS ACT WAS WRITTEN IN 1996 25 YEARS AGO, BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED. GIVES FAR TOO MUCH POWER, TOO. TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES TO GO OUT AND PUT IT WHEREVER THEY WANT TO, IRRESPECTIVE WE'VE GOT A GROUP HERE TONIGHT. THAT'S ONLY. SERIOUSLY IN GOOD FAITH INVESTIGATED ONE OTHER SIDE. THEY HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE

[01:00:01]

OTHER TWO THAT THEY CALLED OUT. THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER SIDES OUT THERE THAT THEY COULD HAVE NEGOTIATED ON, BUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO RUN IT DOWN THE CITIZENS OF MCKINNEY'S THROAT. AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID A VERY POOR JOB OF DRAFTING SOMETHING NOT LOOKING OUT FOR THE FUTURE. IT'S FOR MY TWO CENTS. WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WOULD. WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DENY. PROPOSITION. I'LL SECOND. THERE'S A MOTION TO DENY THE REQUEST IN A SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTES. YEAH. MOTION DOES NOT PASS. MOVE ON TO YEAH.

I'M SORRY. MOTION PASSES THE I'M SORRY. THE APPLICATION. DID NOT WAS NOT APPROVED. WE'LL
