AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.

ACTION: Public notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

Presidio Trust’s receipt of and

application from Nextel

wireless telecommunications facilities

San Francisco. The proposed location of

the Project is directly above the north

entrance of the MacArthur Tunnel and

adjacent to Park Boulevard near

Amatury Loop, San Francisco,

California (the ‘‘Project Site’’).

The Project involves placing a Yagi

cellular antenna and a one-story

equipment cabinet at the Project Site.

The cellular antenna will be

approximately six inches by 30 inches

in size. The equipment cabinet will be

five feet wide by 13 feet long by six feet

tall and will sit on a ten-inch concrete

pad. The equipment cabinet will be

surrounded by a seven-foot high, black

plastic clad chain link fence. Some

grading of the area around the Project

Site will be required; additional

planting to camouflage the equipment

cabinet will be performed, altering the

historic ground cover and vegetation.

Both telecommunication connectivity

and electrical power for the Project will

be provided through new underground

cables connected to existing

infrastructure.

proposed Project must be sent to Devon
