of TMs s,s <br /> z. <br /> Aannin Board <br /> 16 Great Neck Road NOYth <br /> wlashpee, Aassachusetts 02649 <br /> They are overdesigned already and the base is even more solid. If it were to ever happen, it <br /> buckles at the point of their choosing. <br /> Ms. Waygan referenced page 2, if it were to fail, it would be a zero-fall zone. She asked about <br /> ice build up and ice shield. <br /> Verizon equipment has ice shielding and there is a canopy that will protect the person on site, <br /> should any fall off while working, it protects equipment as well. The building design accounts <br /> for ice load and wind. <br /> Mr. Tobin asked if any field tests have been performed on other poles for buckling? <br /> Mr. Vellante commented with all the tornados and 30 years of engineering, he has never seen <br /> a service failure or overloading. Hurricane Hugo and Katrina had wind speeds that exceeded <br /> design wind speeds and the poles were still standing. <br /> Mr. Milbury asked how tall the pole is on Industrial Drive; it was stated at least 142ft. <br /> Mr. Balzarini asked if there needed to be a light on top for aircraft. <br /> Mr. Vellante stated that is only required if the pole is 200ft., or near an airport, this is not a <br /> requirement here. The 60-minute light with timer is for the site technician. If power were to fail, <br /> he can turn on a light and open the cabinet to do what is needed. <br /> Ms. Waygan moved onto the third waiver. The applicant is trying to avoid the need to identify <br /> each tree within a 300ft. radius and would like to use photo simulations in lieu. There is a plan <br /> drawing showing elevation, and the bylaw requires 4-8 different views. They have a round <br /> monopole, showing the picture overhead, and elevation simulations can be used for that <br /> purpose. They are requesting only one elevation view be required. The equipment brochures <br /> and battery cabinets can be deferred until they select the battery being used. <br /> Ms. Waygan made note of the condition once materials were selected. <br /> Mr. Vellante continued that the tower is galvanized steel. With respect to the pole and the <br /> ability to paint, a lot of times people think painting the pole will help hide it, then realize any <br /> coloring may stick out more. He has seen some painted to stand out against the sky. There is <br /> a requirement for a photo simulation of full height and width of facility. The photo simulations <br /> are represented with location where the photo was taken. There are landscaping plans for <br /> behind the building and the wooded area. The plans show grading and site stabilization, they <br /> are not proposing any. <br /> Ms. Waygan would like a condition for them to loam and seed. <br /> 8 <br />
