BUELL CONSULTING, INC. <br />720 Main Street, Suite 200 <br />Saint Paul, MN 55118 <br />(651) 361-8110 <br />www.buellconsulting.com <br />Cover Letter-STC Elk River Temp 4 <br /> 4. How long will the Facility be on the property? The temporary Facility may be on site as little as 2-3 months or as long as 24 months. The expected duration of the use of the temporary Facility is around 6 months. The time the Facility will remain on the property is purely dependent on how long it takes to complete real estate and regulatory due diligence and installation of equipment on the future permanent relocation site. The owner of the permanent relocation site is working diligently with Verizon to complete the relocation installation as quickly as possible. Verizon and the Economic Development Authority are working on a temporary site lease agreement as of the writing of this narrative. The Facility will not be installed until after the agreement is finalized by the parties. 5. What equipment will be placed on the property? The temporary Facility will include the placement of a 120-foot-tall ballasted monopole. The monopole will be attached to a precast foundation system which will serve as ballast to keep the monopole secure and standing. The precast foundation will consist of large concrete blocks that will be set on the ground, creating a 28’ x 28’ slab. The blocks will be tied together with a network of heavy gauge rebar. No permanent foundation will be poured. Utilities will need to be brought to the Facility, including power and fiber optic lines. To avoid creating a tripping and plowing hazard, the intent is to bury the utilities in a shallow trench such that they do not cross over the sidewalk on the south and east side of the property. The utilities will be routed in a 20-foot wide access and utilities easement between the public right-of-way and the Facility. Base station equipment necessary for the operation of antennas and equipment on the monopole will be placed on the precast foundation. Should additional base station equipment be required, a truck or trailer known as a Cell on Wheels (“COW”) may be placed alongside the precast foundation. <br />6. How will the Facility be accessed? No driveway will be installed nor will any curb cutting occur. Vehicles will drive on top of the existing grade as needed; otherwise, the Facility will be accessed on foot. <br />7. What happens when the Facility is no longer needed? Once the permanent relocation to the GRE site is up and running, Verizon will remove its equipment and improvements from the EDA’s property and restore the property to its original condition.
