Narrative Proposal for MBC Grand Broadcasting, Inc. to erect a seventy five-foot broadcasting antenna. MBC Grand Broadcasting Inc. requests a special use permit for the erection of a seventy eight -foot broadcasting antenna on a 31.37 acre parcel of land owned by Dee Blue, described as a tract in Lots 5 & 11, Section 25, Township 7 South, Range 88 West of the 6th P.M. The purpose of the proposed antenna is the broadcast of a 1240 AM frequency to the Town of Carbondale and out lying areas from an undetermined location within the immediate area. A 2.7' tall valcosphere, a 72.3' foot fiberglass antenna and a 3' base to which the antenna mounts will comprise the total height of seventy eight -feet. The antenna is freestanding with no guy wires and will painted a color, which minimizes a visual impact. The proposed operation will use a buried radial ground system with 120 copper radials 200' in length around the base of the antenna. The radials are #10 gauge in diameter and will be buried 2-4' underground. Antenna specifications are included in the appendix. The antenna height is less than the two hundred -foot height restriction of the Federal Aviation Administration therefore will not be lighted or marked (see attached FAA letter, Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation). A wood or plastic fence six-foot in height will surround the antenna a minimum of 10 feet from the base protecting it from wildlife, livestock and human intrusion. Plastic or wood is recommended over a steel wire fence to avoid antenna system de -tuning effects. Additionally, wooden or plastic fences avoid the possibility of RF energy induction into the fence itself, which may create an electrical hazard. An underground electric line serviced by Holy Cross Energy will provide electricity to the facility. The site will be used only as an unmanned communications facility, visited approximately once a month by passenger vehicle. 2. Water/Waste Water The site does not require water or generate wastewater and there are not plans to provide water or sanitary sewer services to the site. 3 3. Site Plan Attached is a site plan, drawn to scale, depicting the property boundaries, the proposed location for the antenna, the existing structures, and all roads within one -mile of the site. 4. Vicinity Map A vicinity map based on a U.S.G.S. quadrangle map, at a scale of 1:24,000, is attached to this submittal package and shows topography. 5. Properly Owners A copy of the appropriate portion of a Garfield County Assessor's Map is attached to this submittal. Adjoining property owners and mineral rights owners are listed below. Adjoining Property Owners: Jonathan & Lucie Fitch 12 Williams Lane Chappaqua, NY 10514-2623 Harris Family Trust 323 County Road 104 Carbondale, CO 81623 Mark Kavasch & Susan D.

Deed and Legal Description A warranty deed for the property, including a legal description is attached to this submittal. 7. Agent for Property Owner Gumbo & Associates, Inc. (G&A) is submitting this special use application package on behalf of the tower owners, Maranatha Broadcasting, and the real property owners, Dee Blue. A letter acknowledging this is attached to this submittal. 8. Zoning Response (1) The only utility required for the operation of the tower is electric power. Holy Cross Energy has agreed to provide electric power to the project upon completion of appropriate contractual agreements. A "will serve" letter is attached to this submittal. (2) Street improvements will not be required as the site will be infrequently visited and the resultant vehicle trips will have a negligible impact on existing roadways. (3) The antenna is inherently small of profile. The Federal Aviation Administration does not require the tower to be lighted eliminating visual impact in low light periods. 9. Additional Review Standards A review of county zoning regulations indicates that Section 5.03.13 Broadcasting Studio and/or Communication Facility: is an applicable additional review standard. 1. The facility shall comply with the radio frequency emission requirements of the Federal Communications Commission as 5 demonstrated by Facility Id No.: 160494 and Antenna registration number 20040129axx. 2. The physics of AM frequency radio waves makes Co -location unfeasible. 3. The facility includes a freestanding antenna. (a) To make the antenna less visible it will be painted to blend with the surrounding landscape. (b) The antenna tapers from 17.5" at the base to 3.75" at the tip and is capped with a 2.7' high by 3.75' wide valcoshere (see attached tower information). (c) There are no existing communication facilities on the site. 10. Base Fee A check in the amount of $400.00 is included with this application submittal. A signed "Agreement for Payment" is attached to this submittal. 11. Submittal Two copies of this submittal, including the completed application, are to be submitted to the Building and Planning Department. 6 SCALE: 1" = 7000' SHEET: 1 0l1 VICINITY MAP DATE: OCTOBER 15,7004 PROJECT: 04516 DRAWN BY: BK CHKD BY: CBF DRAWING: Vidal!?

NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE POSTMARKED OR DELIVERED TO THIS OFFICE AT .LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights, frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the FAA.

The information in this supplement provides additional detailed information that can be used for evaluating compliance of radio and television broadcast stations with FCC guidelines for exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. However, users of this supplement should also consult Bulletin 65 for complete information on FCC policies, guidelines, compliance -related issues and methods for achieving compliance. NOTE: The first edition of Bulletin 65 was issued as OST Bulletin No. 65 in October 1985. This supplement contains broadcast -related information and data that have been revised from that which was included in the original bulletin.

F vii viii: �' V`4! } h 7; In determining compliance with limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (?sO'E) for AM radio broadcast stations, it is normally most important to determine electric and magnetic field strength at distances relatively close to transmitting antennas. Fields from these monopole antennas decrease relatively rapidly with distance, and MPE limits for AM radio frequencies are not as restrictive as those for other frequencies, such as those used for FM radio. Therefore, even for the highest powered stations, MPE limits for AM radio transmissions would normally only be exceeded relatively close to antennas. Compliance with the FCC's guidelines for AM stations typically will involve assessment of exposure potential of persons working or occupying areas in the close -in vicinity of transmitting antennas. Because such persons will always be in the near field of AM antennas, due to the relatively long wavelengths in the AM frequency band, an evaluation of both electric and magnetic field strength is necessary. In the original version of OET Bulletin 65, staff from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided the FCC with results from a computer-based model to help determine compliance with MPE limits for AM radio broadcast stations. The EPA model used the Numeric Electromagnetic Code (NEC) computer pmgram to predict field - strength levels near AM monopole antennas. In the past several years a PC-based version of this code, called MININEC,' has also become available. The FCC has used en expand and refine the predictions for electric and magnetic field -strength presented diin the original version of Bulletin 65. They are included in this supplement in the form of tables and figures that can be used in evaluating compliance at these stations. Tables 1-4 may be used to determine the minimum distance from an AM broadcast antenna to the point where electric and magnetic field strengths are predicted to correspond to MPE limit values. The tables provide compliance distances from antennas of various elecnical heights transmitting at various frequencies and using various power levels. The distances specified are the distances from an antenna at which access should be restricted in order to comply with both the electric and magnetic field -strength MPE limits. For antennas that do not correspond to the specific conditions given in these tables, interpolation can be used to arrive at intermediate values, or, alternatively, the greatest distance for the range used for interpolation could be used. Since the MPE limits for the two exposure tiers are similar for most AM frequencies, and because of variability in compliance distances according to electrical height and operating frequency, one entry is given in each case that applies for both occupational/controlled and general population/uncontrolled exposures. These numbers represent the minimum worst-case distances predicted for compliance with the strictest MPE limit for each case. Note that time - 1 11/21/2004 22:08 9702542160 KNZZ KJYE KMGJ KMOZ averaging considerations are not taken into account in these computations. Continuous exposure is assumed in all cases. This model computes field strength values in the vicinity of single antennas. For AM stations with multiple -tower arrays a conservative "worst case" prediction could be made by assuming that all transmitted power is radiated from each antenna. Therefore, in such cases the appropriate value from the tables could be used to define a zone of restriction around the array, consisting of circles with equal radii, each of which is centered around a tower in the array. Alternatively, a more accurate prediction could be made if the power actually radiated by each tower is known. It may be necessary to predict electric and magnetic field -strength at various locations in the vicinity of AM antennas. Therefore, Figures 1-4 have been developed for this purpose using MININEC. These figures show conservative predictions of electric and magnetic field - strength versus distance from typical AM broadcast antennas for towers with electrical heights equal to 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.625 wavelengths, respectively. Figures 1-4 predict field strength for stations transmitting with 1 kilowatt of power. Therefore, for stations operating at other power levels values obtained from these figures should be multiplied by the square root of the station's power. The following example illustrates the proper procedure. In this example a 50 kilowatt AM station is located near a publicly accessible area. It is desired to obtain an estimate of the field -strength levels in this area which is at a distance of 10 meters from the station's single tower that has an electrical height of 0.25. To arrive at the estimated field strength values proceed as follows: ✓ Consult Figure 2 for an antenna with electrical height = 0.25 ✓ At 10 meters read predicted electrical field -strength = about 8 V/m ✓ At 10 meters read predicted magnetic field strength = about 0.06 A/m ✓ Multiply each value by so ✓ Predicted values are 56.6 V/m and 0.42 A/m As discussed in Section 4 of Bulletin 65, RF currents will be induced in the body of persons who climb transmitting AM broadcast antennas for maintenance or other purposes. This is a significant source of RF exposure and can be related to the limits for specific absorption rate (SAR) adopted by the FCC.' Although many stations may prefer to shutdown power entirely while persons are climbing their antennas, in some cases this may be difficult or undesirable. Studies have been undertaken by the FCC and the EPA to determine SAR is discussed in Section 1 of Bulletin 65. 2 Appendix J-12 PAGE 05 11/21/2004 22:08 9702542160 KNZZ KJYE KMGJ KMOZ PAGE 06 appropriate operating power levels which should allow climbing of transmitting AM antennas without exceeding the SAR guidelines.' The results of these studies were used to develop Figure 5, which shows operating power levels versus frequency for a variety of different electrical heights that are predicted to allow tower climbing without exceeding the exposure guidelines in terms of SAR. Recommended power levels are shown for tower climbing with or without the use of gloves. A study by Tell performed for the FCC (Reference 28 in Bulletin 65) indicated that certain gloves (particularly leather gloves) can significantly reduce the induction of RF currents in tower climbers. Figure 5 is designed to be used to provide guidance for use by AM radio stations which find it necessary to continue transmitting while persons are climbing their towers. It can be used to determine the levels to which operating power should be reduced before a person climbs an active tower. However, there is variability in the data, and whenever there is a question about which condition may apply in a given situation it is recommended that the most conservative power level be used or, alternatively, that power be turned off completely while the climber is on the tower. 2 See References 6, 26, 27, 28 and 32 in OET Bulletin 65. 3 Appendix J-13 11/21/2004 22:08 9702542160 KNZZ KJYE KMGJ KMOZ TABLE 1.
