The manufacturer will be determined after zoning approval. The manufacturer is required by Qwest to provide monopole drawings and calculations certified by a currently licensed professional engineer in the State of Minnesota at the time of purchase of the monopole. Qwest will submit copies of these certified drawings and calculations, and certified foundation drawings and calculations specific to this site at the time of building permit application. I am enclosing a copy of certified monopole drawings for a site that was constructed in 1999, which are identical to the monopole proposed for this site. The drawings contain the following information requested by the Planning Commission in the Ordinance: 1. Sheet 2; item 8 of the NOTES identifies two additional collocators, with nine antennas each, at heights of 147 feet and 132 feet with six feet separation of antennas. (19.D.ii., 19.N.b. and c.) 2. Sheet 2, item 7 of the NOTES states that the design conforms to EIA/TIA-222-Ffor 80 miles per hour wind speed with concurrent radial ice of one-half inch thickness, which is a Minnesota State Building Code design requirement. (19.E.ii.) 3. Sheet 2, item 6 of the NOTES states that the monopole is hot dip galvanized per ASTM A-123. (19.E.vii.) 4.
