Summary:
Applicant/Owner: Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co.
Consultant Applicant/Appellant: Vertical Bridge
Location: 2499 Avondale Drive (northeast of Constitution Avenue and Avondale Circle)
The application is a development plan proposing modification of an existing 99'-3" monopole tower to bring the tower structure up-to-code and to make it structurally safe. The stated intention is to wrap the existing tower with new steel and pour additional concrete on top of the existing base to create a sturdy foundation for the addition tower steel.
The height of the tower will not increase with the proposal; however, the dimension will change from the existing width dimension of 5'-9" to a new width dimension of 10'-0". The color of the tower is proposed to remain the same gray steel color as the existing monopole tower. The elevation plans illustrate two additional antennas to be added to the monopole tower for co-location. The CMRS facility is located on a portion of a 5.01 acre lot northeast of Constitution Avenue and Avondale Circle.
The application was submitted reviewed under Federal law, 47 USC ? 1455, as an Eligible Facilities Request. The City is required to approve a modification to a communications tower when the modification does not substantially change the dimensions of the tower. The United States District Court for the District of Colorado has determined that the application is an Eligible Facilities Request.
