Re: Speeial Use Permit
Dear Mr . Bean,
Rif Ie Broadeast Company desires to loeate and operate a 5OKW AM
radio station in Garfietd CountY.
In our pursuit of favorable endorsement we wish to point out that
the presenee of the station should benefit Garfield County il
many ways. In addition to the obvious revenue generation effect
for the County, the station will provide employment opportunities
and add a measure of prestige to the County, itrs citizens and
itrs off ieials. Not many 5QI(W stations &re Iieensed by the
FCC. Because of the range of the stations signal, residents of
the Western Slopes of Colorado, parts of New Mexieo, Wyoming and
Utah will be more aware of Garfield County, whieh should be a
eontributing faetor in enhaneing the image of Garfield County.
This request for speeial use has attempted to address all areas
of possible eoncern. If perehanee we have omitted data you may
think neeessary the omission in not intentional and we will
strive to supply any data you may require to formulate your
decision. Our submittal eovers the following, whieh are
documented in the exhibi ts and attachments.

Hopefully the data presented has adequately represented our
appl ication and provided the basis to satisy any eoneerns the
County may have. In perspective Irm sure that our request is not
unique as there many radio stations aeeross the country in both
rural and highly populated metropolitan areas alI eo-existing
harmoniously. It is our intention to beeome a value to Garfield
County, not only in the business eonmunity, but also to the
citizens with public serviee progranrning.
Your eonsideration and approval is respeetfully requested.
Sineerely,

TRAFFIC
There is no retail or walk-in business in a eommereial radio station'
Normally, in broadeasting, approximately 98% of all business is done by
sales persons away from the studios.
As a result the traffic impaet at the KRMW transmitter site will be
minimat. Traffic wilt proba-bly be no more or less than would be found at
a normal residenee.
The average traffie in and out of the KRMW transmitter site will eonsist
of teehnieat anO operation/sales personnel'
l.Teehnicalservieesarerequiredatthesite.Itwillbe
neeessary for one man to make a weekly eheek of the equipment'
The transmitter in this ease would be operated by remote control
from the studio.

H(HIBIT IIFII
VI SUAL IMPACT
The visual impact on neighbors and elose eonmunities
ean be eonsidered in relation to the towers and the
bui lding improvements.
Towers: The property is in a natural vaIIey
which will inhibit visual impaet to the North, East,
and the south, see Attaehment #5. Natural terrain
obstruetions will provide sereening of the towers to
alI populated areas. Three topographie sections, per
data from usGS topographic maps, have been plotted.
Seetion rrArt was pt6tied-from the eenter of Silt to the
towers (see Attaehment #6). It is apparent from this
seetion that the natural topographie sereening !hat
the towers are not visible from the eenter of Silt.
Seetion xBtr was plotted from a loeation approximal.ty
one half mile east of silt to the towers (see
Attachment #?). Again it is apparent that natural
terrain shields the towers. Seetion rtCtr was plotted
from a Iocation approximately one half mile west of
Silt to the towers--(see Attachment #8)' This viewing
angle was selected as it is through the divide that
th; path of Dry HotIow Creek Road traverses. There is
a n*rro* window through this viewing angle that t!"
top approximate 110 feet of towet #2 ean be viewed.
Tower-iZ will not be iIluminated with any Iights at
alI. It is possibte that some of tower #1 may be.seen
from this viewing angle and it is illuminated with a
beacon and obstfuction lights. As the towers are
eonstructed of only three 1ttdiameter tubular rods in
an 18rr triangular pattern, it is highly unl ikely they
would be viJiUte more than a mile distant from the
site. The antenna eonfiguration eonsists of five
towers eaeh 351 feet high. The FAA requires that
three (3) of the towers tb be painted alternately I9d
and white and illuminated with a red incandeseent 620
watt beaeon light at the 351 foot level and a 69 watt
obstruetion fi[nt at the 239 and 11? foot levels. The
obstruction Ilght intensity is lower than most
household light-s and should be no more objeetional
than a light6d house window or an outdoor yarg light
even if v-iewing were unobstructed. However, beeause
of the geogriphieally proteeted site other than
inmediate neign-uors woula be in a position to view
inJi" I ights. The beaeon I ight at- the top of the
o r-l
r- -/
tower would also be shielded, simi larly by the natural
topography, from residenial areas of Si lt. The
purp6se- oi' the beaeon light is to alert air traffic.
iingineers have informed us that in the ease of ground
baied objections to the beacon, whieh we feel will not
be the ease in aetual operat ionr aPPropr iate reflector
shields ean be plaeed below the beaeon lights to
effectively eliminate any ground objections without
effeeting the air safety purpose of the beaeons.
Buildings: The building faeilities at the
site will use cement bloek eonstruetion for the
transmitter building. A large building is not
required. The transmitter building -wouId -beapproximatety 1000 square feet in size. The studio
Uiritding woutO be approximatety the same size and
could ue housed in a double wide mobile homer &tr
expanded transmitter buildingr of a separate frame
construetion. (Currently there is a double wide
mobile home on the site whieh is owned by Citieorp.)
Any of these possibilities would be eonsonat with the
rural nature of bui Idings in the area.

EXIII}IT IIEN
TRATFIC
There is no retail or walk-in business in a eommereial radio station.
Normally, in broadcasting, approximately 98% of all business is done by
sales persons away from the studios.
As a result the traffic impaet at the KRMW transmitter site will be
minimal. Traffie will probably be no more or less than would be found at
a normal residenee.
The average traffic in and out of the KRMW transmitter site will be
governed under one of two sets of eireumstanees.
1. If only teehnieal services are provided at the site, it will be
neeessary for one man to make a weekly eheck of the equipment.
The transmitter in this ease would be operated by remote eontrol
from an offiee site in Silt.
2. If actual broadeasting is originated from the transmitter site,
there will be from one to five persons on duty during the broadcast
day. The average would be four. An on-air person, a sales persont
and two in the offiee.
