RE: Blanco Hill Cell Tower
Limited Impact Review Narrative
To Glenn Hartman:
Commnet Four Corners, LLC (Commnet) would like to provide cellular service along Highway 13,
between Rifle, CO and Meeker, CO. Commnet Cellular service will be available to travelers and
emergency response groups such as law enforcement, paramedics, and fire department for data,
voice, and e911 use. Commnet will provide service for the area with CDMA and GSM technology,
thus allowing most, if not all, wireless customers from Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc. to use the roaming
service.
Commnet plans to erect a 150' monopole tower, that will be within a 40' x 40' compound area. The
tower will be engineered for additional carriers for future collocations and Commnet will provide
evidence from a qualified professional engineer that is licensed by the State of Colorado that
structural and engineering standards have been met. Installation time line once building permit has
been issued will be approximately 2-4 weeks. During construction, vehicles and machinery will be
parked on site, but will cause a minimum impact on traffic to Highway 13. White River Power will
be providing electrical hookups to power the site from power line located on same property we are
leasing. The site will be operational 7 days per week, 24 hours per day, every day of the year. Other
than the occasional visit by our technicians (once per month on average) to maintain the site and
equipment, there will be no other reason to visit the site unless and emergency dictates otherwise.
Commnet has contacted the FAA (documents enclosed) about this site and has received notification
that the site does not qualify for any additional input form their agency.
Commnet is looking forward to working with Garfield County in obtaining all the necessary permits
for this project.
Sincerely,
Lowell Nelson
