RE:
Administrative Review of the addition of two Panel Antennas to the AT&T
Telecommnnication Facility on the Roof of 620 E. Hopkins Avenue
DATE:
October 29, 2004
SUMMARY:
Cousino & Associates, representing AT&T Wireless Services of Colorado LLC,
owner, has applied for the installation oftwo (2) additional antennas to the existing
roof array at 620 E. Hopkins A venue. The site is located outside of the Commercial
Core Historic District and is not within the Pitkin County Courthouse Mountain View
plane.
The applicant proposes the installation of one (I) additional antenna on only two (2)
of the three (3) existing sectors on the building roof (see Exhibit C). The two (2)
proposed panel antennas are of the same dimensions of the existing antennas and will
be painted to match. The dimensions of the antennas are approximately 15"w x 51"h
x 3"d. (They will be placed next to existing antennas ofthe same dimensions and are
well within the 15-foot height requirement of the telecommunication equipment
provisions of the Land Use Code).
The application meets the standards for telecommunication equipment, pursuant to
Section 26.575.130. Attached are the relevant criteria (Exhibit A), the submitted
proposal (Exhibit B), and copies of the site layout with the proposed additions
(Exhibit C).
Staff recommends The Community Development Director administratively
approve this application, with two conditions.
ApPLICANT:
AT&T Wireless Services of Colorado LLC. Represented by Cousino & Associates.
LOCATION:
620 East Hopkins (Roof)
ZONING:
Commercial (CI)
LOT SIZE:
4,500 square feet
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Wireless Telecommunication Service Facilities: The Community Development
Director may approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove an application pursuant
to Section 26.575.130 of the Land Use Code.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Staff finds that the addition of these antennas to the AT&T wireless array on the roof
of the building at 620 E. Hopkins A venue will serve the public good with miniscule
impacts. The two new antennas will be identical to the others already onsite and will
be installed in exactly the same manner. Given the existing array, most observers
would probably not even notice a difference to the site. For further comments
addressing each review standard, please see Exhibit A.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Community Development Director approve the AT&T
Wireless Services of Colorado LLC, proposal for the installation of two (2) additional
antennas to the roof of 620 East Hopkins, with conditions:
ApPROVAL:
I hereby approve the AT&T Wireless Services of Colorado LLC, addition oftwo
panel antennas to an existing array on the roof of 620 East Hopkins with the following
conditions:
1. That the newly installed panel antennas be ofthe exact same dimensions and color as those
already existing in the antenna array.
2. That the new antennas be installed with precisely the same spacing between antennas and the
same height above the roofline as the existing antennas.

Exhibit A
F. Review Standards. The following standards are designed to foster the City's
safety and aesthetic interests without imposing unreasonable limitations on wireless
telecommunication services facilities and equipment:
1. Setbacks. At a minimum, all wireless telecommunication services
facilities and equipment shall comply with the minimum setback requirements of
the underlying zone district; if the following requirements are more restrictive
than those of the underlying zone district, the more restrictive standard shall
apply.
a. All facilities shall be located at least fifty (50) feet from any
property lines, except when roof-mounted (above the eave line of a
building). Flat-roof mounted facilities visible from ground level
within one-hundred (100) feet of said property shall be concealed
to the extent possible within a compatible architectural element.
such as a chimney or ventilation pipe, or behind architectural
skirting of the type generally used to conceal HV AC equipment.
Pitched-roof mounted facilities shall always be concealed within a
compatible architectural element, such as chimneys or ventilation
pIpes.
b. Monopole towers shall be set back from any residentially zoned
properties a distance of at least three (3) times the monopole's
height (i.e., a sixty (60) foot setback would be required for a
twenty (20) foot monopole), and the setback from any public road.
as measured from the right-of-way line, shall be at least equal to
the height of the monopole.
c. No wireless communication facility may be established within one-
hundred (100) feet of any existing, legally established wireless
communication facility except when located on the same building
or structure.
d. No portion of any antenna array shall extend beyond the property
lines or into any front yard area. Guy wires shall not be anchored
within any front yard area, but may be attached to the building.
Staff Finding:
There will be no monopole towers on site and the antennas will not extend into property
lines of any other owner.
._.,."......_,~.."' ."._~,_.._._.___..u,.."..____.__~__..,.~,._._____._____
'".. .'
2. Height. Wireless telecommunication services facilities and/or equipment
shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in height or the maximum permissible height
of the given zone district, whichever is more restrictive. In addition:
a. Whenever a wireless telecommunication services antenna is
attached to a building roof, the antenna and support system for
panel antennas shall not exceed five (5) feet above the highest
portion of that roof, including parapet walls, and the antenna and
support system for whip antennas shall not exceed fifteen (15) feet
above the highest portion of that roof, including parapet walls.
b. If the building itself exceeds the height limitations of the zone, and
such excess height was legally established (i.e., granted a variance,
approved by PUD, etc.), then the combined height of the building
and antenna shall not exceed the maximum height allowed by such
approval unless determined by the Community Development
Director to be suitably camouflaged.
c. Ifthe building is constructed at or above the zone district's height
limit, or if combined height of the building and the antenna would
exceed the applicable height limit, the additional height of the
antenna must be reviewed pursuant to the process and standards (in
addition to the standards of this Section) of conditional use review.
Section 26.425.010, unless determined by the Community
Development Director to be suitably camouflaged (in which case
an administrative approval may be granted).
d. Support and/or switching equipment shall be located inside the
building, unless it can be fully screened from view as provided in
the "Screening" standards (26.475. I 30(F)(5)) below.
Staff Finding:
The two panel antennas are to be added to the existing AT&T array on the site which
does not extend five feet above the highest point of the building. The new antennas will
be exactly the same dimensions and won't be installed in anyway to make them stand out
from the others. Aside from being exactly the same height, they will be painted the same
color as those already on site.
3. Architectural Comoatibilitv. Whether manned or unmanned, wireless
telecommunication services facilities shall be consistent with the architectural style of the
surrounding architectural environment (planned or existing) considering exterior
materials, roof form, scale, mass, color, texture and character. In addition:
a. If such facility is accessory to an existing use, the facility shall be
constructed out of materials that are equal to or of better quality
than the materials of the principal use.
b. Wireless telecommunication services equipment shall be of the
same color as the building or structure to which or on which such
equipment is mounted, or as required by the appropriate decision-
making authority (Community Development Director, Historic
Preservation Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission, or
City Council, as applicable).
c. Whenever wireless telecommunication services equipment is
mounted to the wall of a building or structure, the equipment shall
be mounted in a configuration designed to blend with and be
architecturally integrated into a building or other concealing
structure, be as flush to the wall as technically possible, and shall
not project above the wall on which it is mounted.
d. Monopole support buildings, which house cellular switching
devices and/or other equipment related to the use, operation or
maintenance of the subject monopole, must be designed to match
the architecture of adjacent buildings. If no recent and/or
reasonable architectural theme is present, the Community
Development Director may require a particular design that is
deemed to be suitable to the subject location.
4. Comoatibilitv With the Natural Environment. Wireless
telecommunication services facilities and equipment shall be compatible with the
surrounding natural environment considering land forms, topography, and other
natural features, and shall not dominate the landscape or present a dominant
silhouette on a ridge line. In addition:
a. If a location at or near a mountain ridge line is selected, the
applicant shall provide computerized, three dimensional. visual
simulations of the facility or equipment and other appropriate
graphics to demonstrate the visual impact on the view of the
affected ridge(s) or ridge line(s); an 8040 Greenline Review,
pursuant to the provisions of Section 26.435.030, may also be
required.
b. Site disturbances shall be minimized, and existing vegetation shall
be preserved or improved to the extent possible, unless it can be
demonstrated that such disturbance to vegetation and topography
results in less visual impact to the surrounding area.
c. Surrounding view planes shall be preserved to the extent possible.
d. All wireless telecommunication services facilities and equipment
shall comply with the Federal Communication Commission's
regulations concerning maximum radio frequency and
electromagnetic frequency emissions.
Staff Finding:
The proposed location is not affected by ridgeline, 8040, or mountain view plane
restrictions. The applicant has committed to meeting FCC regulations regarding the
operation of wireless service facilities.
5. Screeninf!. Roof and ground mounted wireless telecommunication
services facilities and equipment, including accessory equipment, shall be
screened from adjacent and nearby public rights-of-way and public or private
properties by paint color selection, parapet walls, screen walls, fencing,
landscaping, and/or berming in a manner compatible with the building's and/or
surrounding environment's design, color, materials, texture, land forms and/or
topography, as appropriate or applicable. In addition:
a. Whenever possible, if monopoles are necessary for the support of
antennas, they shall be located near existing utility poles, trees, or
other similar objects; consist of colors and materials that best
blend with their background; and, have no individual antennas or
climbing spikes on the pole other than those approved by the
appropriate decision-making authority (Community Development
Director, Historic Preservation Commission, Planning and Zoning
Commission, or City Council, as applicable).
b. For ground mounted facilities, landscaping may be required to
achieve a total screening effect at the base of such facilities or
equipment in order to screen the mechanical characteristics; a
heavy emphasis on coniferous plants for year-round screening may
be required. Landscaping shall be of a type and variety capable of
growing within one (I) year to a landscape screen which
satisfactorily obscures the visibility of the facility.
c. Unless otherwise expressly approved, all cables for a facility shall
be fully concealed from view underground or inside of the
screening or monopole structure supporting the antennas; any
cablcs that cannot be buried or otherwise hidden from view shan
^"-_.~-'~-'.'-"""'"''--''''''' ..'..'_~.,.'
be painted to match the color of the building or other existing
structure.
d. Chain link fencing shall be unacceptable to screen facilities,
support structures, or accessory and related equipment (including
HV AC or mechanical equipment present on support buildings);
fencing material, if used, shall be six (6) feet in height or less and
shall consist of wood, masonry, stucco, stone or other acceptable
materials that are opaque.
e. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the facility shall comply with all
additional measures deemed necessary to mitigate the visual
impact of the facility. Also, in lieu of these screening standards,
the Community Development Director may allow use of an
alternate detailed plan and specifications for landscape and
screening, including plantings, fences, walls, sign and structural
applications, manufactured devices and other features designed to
screen, camouflage and buffer antennas, poles and accessory uses.
For example, the antenna and supporting stmcture or monopole
may be of such design and treated with an architectural material so
that it is camouflaged to resemble a tree with a single trunk and
branches on its upper part. The plan should accomplish the same
degree of screening achieved by meeting the standards outlined
above.
Staff Finding:
No additional screening is recommended, but the antennas should be painted to blend into
the building and match the existing antennas.
6. Lil!hting and Sil!nal!e. In addition to other applicable sections of the code
regulating signage or outdoor lighting, the following standards shall apply to
wireless telecommunication services facilities and equipment:
a. The light source for security lighting shall feature down-
directional, sharp cut-off luminaries to direct, control, screen or
shade in such a manner as to ensure that there is no spillage of
illumination off-site.
b. Light fixtures, whether free-standing or tower-mounted, shall not
exceed twelve (12) feet in height as measured from finished grade.
c. The display of any sign or advertising device other than public
safety warnings, certifications or other required seals on any
wireless communication device or structure is prohibited.
Staff Finding:
Service lighting already exists on site.
d. The telephone number(s) to contact in an emergency shall be
posted on each facility in conformance with the provisions of
Chapter 26.510 of the Aspen Municipal Code.
7. Access Wavs. In addition toingress and egress requirements of the Building
Code, access to and from wireless telecommunication services facilities and
equipment shall be regulated as follows:
a. No wireless communication device or facility shall be located in a
required parking, maneuvering or vehicle/pedestrian circulation
area such that it interferes with, or in any way impairs, the intent or
functionality of the original design.
b. The facility must be secured from access by the general public but
access for emergency services must be ensured. Access roads
must be capable of supporting all potential emergency response
vehicles and equipment.
c. The proposed easement(s) for ingress and egress and for electrical
and telephone shall be recorded at the Pitkin County Clerk and
Recorder's Office prior to the issuance of building permits.
Staff Finding:
The equipment is not proposed in an area reqmrmg vehicular circulation. No new
easements are required to be recorded to accommodate this development.

INTRODUCTION
AT&T Wireless 850 mhz Overlav Proiect - Reauest and Justification
AT&T Wireless owns two Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) licenses in the State of Colorado.
They are 850 MHz and the 1900 MHz. The 850 MHz technology requires the addition of one dual
pole/dual band panel antenna on each of the existing three sectors (see cut sheet enclosed w/ this
submittal)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
AT&T Wireless Services proposes to add two additional antennas at two of the three existing sectors
(alpha and gamma) at the 51' level on the roof next to the existing antennas. New panel antennas are of
same dimension/size as existing antennas, painted to match. New panel antenna is of same
dimension/size as existing antennas, painted to match. Therefore there is no real change to the existing
structure as it appears now.
Coveraae Obiective
AT&T Wireless Services' objective is to continue to develop and provide the latest technology to the
citizens of the Town of Aspen and surrounding areas in Pitkin County.
Impact on Surroundina Residents
Visual impact of the proposed 850 mhz overlay project will be minimal as it is only being slightly altered
from it's current state.
Antenna
The site will only involve adding two additional antennas at two of the three existing sectors (alpha and
gamma) at the 51' level on the roof next to the existing antennas. New panel antennas are of same
dimension/size as existing antennas, painted to match. The antenna will be arranged directly next to the
existing antenna on said sectors The antenna is approximately 15" w x 51" h x 3"d.
Facilitv Maintenance
-
The facility is generally service by the carrier once a month by a small passenger vehicle. The service
visit typically takes up to two hours and is usually for preventative maintenance purposes.
Access/Easements
The PCS facility will be accessed from existing access. AT&T Wireless Services has obtained all
necessary utility and access leases from the property owner.
Gradina/Utilities
No grading will be required to construct the facility. Power and telephone utilities will be provided from
existing utilities located at the site.
""'
,-"..'
."
DeveloDment Assurances
1. The proposed facility will emit no noxious odors, heat, noise or other pollutants.
2. Traffic to the facility will be negligible. Local, full-time trained employees of AT&T Wireless
Services will be responsible for regular inspection and maintenance of the site (approximately
once a month or in an emergency). Access to the site will be restricted.
3. Construction of the facility will exceed industry safety .standards, and all construction will comply
with all applicable local and state building codes and regulations.
4. The proposed facility has been designed with consideration to local wind and weather conditions.
5. The proposed facility will comply with all applicable FCC and FAA regulations.
6. The facility will not interfere with television or radio reception.
7. NQrmal household electric service (single phase 220 volt/100 amp) currently exists at the facility.
8. The facility will not require sewage disposal, water or garbage service.
9. The owner stated that he has no knowledge that the site was ever used to dispose of waste.
Conclusion
The proposed upgrade of the existing facility is essential AT&T Wireless Services LLC to construct a
seamless wireless network serving the area. Increasingly, consumers rely on advanced technology to
meet their communication needs. A T& T Wireless Services is pleased to have this opportunity to provide
it's FCC mandated 850 mhz coverage to the area and stands by the fact that the construction,
maintenance and operation of this facility will in no way be detrimental to the health, safety or well-being of
the community.

RE:
Administrative Review to Existing AWS Telecomm Site
620 E. Hopkins Avenue, Aspen, CO 80166
Dear James:
Enclosed is my Letter of Intent for the above-referenced Administrative Review to an existing AT&T
Wireless telecommunications site, a collocation on an existing building located at 620 E. Hopkins
Avenue, Aspen, CO 80166, as well as my check payable to the City of Aspen in the amount of $546.00
for the zoning review fees.
As discussed, this minor modification involves adding just two PANEL antennas at the same height,
location and size as the existing antennas on the roof at this location, painted to match.
Also enclosed is my application form, and 3 sets of II x 17" drawings.
Please review my submittal at your earliest convenience and let me know if you need anything further.
Thank you for your outstanding courtesy and cooperation in this matter. My fax number is 303/771-
3577 to fax the approval and my address is above to mail the original. Also, if you would please fax me
a receipt for the fees, I would appreciate it.

INTRODUCTION
A T& T Wireless 850 mhz Overlav Project - Reouest and Justification
AT&T Wireless owns two Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) licenses in the State of Colorado.
Theyare 850 MHz and the 1900 MHz. The 850 MHz technology requires the addition of one dual
pole/dual band panel antenna on each of the existing three sectors (see cut sheet enclosed w/ this
submittal)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A T& T Wireless Services proposes to add two additional antennas at two of the three existing sectors
(alpha and gamma) at the 51' level on the roof next to the existing antennas. New panel antennas are of
same dimension/size as existing antennas, painted to match. New panel antenna is of same
dimension/size as existing antennas, painted to match. Therefore there is no real change to the existing
structure as it appears now.
Covera~e Objective
A T& T Wireless Services' objective is to continue to develop and provide the latest technology to the
citizens of the Town of Aspen and surrounding areas in Pitkin County.
ImDact on Surroundin~ Residents
Visual impact of the proposed 850 mhz overlay project will be minimal as it is only being slightly altered
from it's current state.
Antenna
The site will only involve adding two additional antennas at two of the three existing sectors (alpha and
gamma) at the 51' level on the roof next to the existing antennas. New panel antennas are of same
dimension/size as existing antennas, painted to match. The antenna will be arranged directly next to the
existing antenna on said sectors The antenna is approximately 15" w x 51" h x 3"d.
Facility Maintenance
The facility is generally service by the carrier once a month by a small passenger vehicle. The service
visit typically takes up to two hours and is usually for preventative maintenance purposes.
Access/Easements
The PCS facility will be accessed from existing access. AT&T Wireless Services has obtained all
necessary utility and access leases from the property owner.
GradjnotUtilities
No grading will be required to construct the facility. Power and telephone utilities will be provided from
existing utilities located at the site.
DeveloDment Assurances
1. The proposed facility will emit no noxious odors, heat, noise or other pollutants.
2. Traffic to the facility will be negligible. Local, full-time trained employees of AT&T Wireless
Services will be responsible for regular inspection and maintenance of the site (approximately
once a month or in an emergency). Access to the site will be restricted.
3. Construction of the facility will exceed industry safety standards, and all construction will comply
with all applicable local and state building codes and regulations.
4. The proposed facility has been designed with consideration to local wind and weather conditions.
5. The proposed facility will comply with all applicable FCC and FAA regulations.
6. The facility will not interfere with television or radio reception.
7. Normal household electric service (single phase 220 volt/100 amp) currently exists at the facility.
8. The facility will not require sewage disposal, water or garbage service.
9. The owner stated that he has no knowledge that the site was ever used to dispose of waste.
