Body
BACKGROUND
This is a conceptual review of a proposal to install wireless communications facilities for the Connect America Fund Phase II (CAF-II) Project. The CAF-II Project is a Federal Communications (FCC) program to bring high-speed internet to under-served rural areas throughout the United States. The facilities would provide capacity for both high-speed internet and cellular data.
Two example sites are proposed for this Conceptual Review. The Nashville site, located in the Nashville area east of Highway 49, would be a new 155 to 160-foot tall lattice tower. The Buffalo Hill site, located in the Greenwood area, would be a new 155 to 160-foot tall monopine tower.
This report is intended to assist the applicant in identifying potential project issues and solutions, consider alternative designs, and receive early feedback from the Planning Commission in an informal workshop, thereby improving the quality of a future development application. This item is for discussion purposes only.
A Staff Memo is attached.
