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