PUBLIC HEARING
1. APPLICATION PDR10-0014 (503-21-021) T-Mobile (Sutro Consulting) 13750 Prune Blossom - The
applicant is requesting Design Review approval for a wireless telecommunication antenna on a new wood
utility pole. The new pole will replace an existing pole with an increase in height from 29 feet, eight inches
to approximately 41 feet, six inches (41’6”) maximum. The added height will provide separation from
existing power lines and increase the wireless coverage area. The associated electronic equipment would be
located in a ground mounted cabinet near the pole. The applicant will provide a four foot sidewalk
clearance surrounding the pole. The facility is considered a “micro site” because the antennas and
associated equipment are smaller in size than a standard wireless facility. (Cynthia McCormick)
(Approved, 5:0)
