Mrs. Velkover indicated that two other cellular phone carriers, Nextel and Ameritech, have received special use permits for similar applications. Ameritech's antennas are on top of the tower and Nextel's are on the catwalk.
Enough separation is provided between all antennas so that there is no interference.
Additional landscaping will be installed around the building to screen it from the south, east and west. Specifically, five 10-foot tall evergreen trees are to be added to the east, and 1 canopy tree is to be added to each the south and west sides of the structure. Mrs. Velkover indicated that the two existing carriers are also required to install landscaping around their buildings. This material has not been installed yet because of the ongoing construction. Mr. Winter expressed concerns about the impact of a fire on the other carriers because of the close proximity of the equipment buildings.
