We have determined that the proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. As a result, an environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). A 14-day comment period is required by the SEPA rules (WAC 197-11-340). A notice inviting comments was published in the Federal Way Mirror on September 16, 2006. At the end of the comment period, the department will determine if the DNS should be withdrawn, modified, or issued as proposed. All final determinations may be appealed within 14 days following the comment deadline. No licenses, permits, or approvals will be issued until completion of the appeal period. Our decision not to require an EIS does not mean that the license, permit, or approval you are seeking from the City has been granted. Approval or denial of the proposal will be made by the appropriate administrative or legislative body vested with that authority. The environmental record is considered by the decision maker(s) and conditions will be imposed to reduce identified environmental impacts, as long as the conditions are based on adopted and designated City policy. After a final decision has been made on your proposal (i.e., after approval has been issued or City Council action taken, as applicable), you may, but are not required to, publish a Notice of Action as set forth in RCW 43.21 C.075. The Notice of Action sets forth a time period after which no legal challenges regarding the proposal's compliance with SEPA can be made. A copy of the Notice of Action form and copies of RCW 43.21C.080 and WAC 197-11-680 providing instructions for giving this notice are available from the Department of Community Development Services. The City is not responsible for publishing the Notice of Action. However, the City is responsible for giving a notice (to parties of record) stating the date for commencing a judicial appeal (including the SEPA portion of that appeal) if your proposal is one for which the City's action on. it has a specified time period within which any court appeals must be made.

After picking up the notices, I went to the Federal Way post office to determine the problem with the delivery. I was able to determine, with the help of the Post Office supervisor, that the addresses in the King County tax records for the Heatherstone Condominiums do not equate with the street addresses assigned by the Post Office. The tax records list the main address for Heatherstone as 1810 S. 330th Street, then assigns numbers to the individual four -unit buildings as buildings 1-12. The postal addressing system labels building " 1 " as 1810 S 330th, building "2" as 1812 S. 330th, and so on, up to 1834 S. 330th. I was able to correct the addresses, and have re -mailed the notices to the residents of the Heatherstone development. Please accept this as an affidavit of the mailing of these notices. I am also enclosing a set of the corrected labels so that the mislabeled envelopes for the second notice can be corrected for that mailing. I apologize for the inconvenience.

The subject property is a 62.4-acre tract zoned RM 3600 (multi family residential, 3600 square feet per unit), and developed with a mobile home park. The project would consist of constructing a 20-foot extension on an existing 100-foot monopole support structure (to a total height of 120 feet) and the addition of six (6) T-Mobile antennas at a height of 99 feet (antenna centerline). Existing Verizon antennas at the top of the monopole would be relocated to take the top position of the extended support structure. Proieet Description The subject property is located within the area necessary for the proposed wireless facility to be technologically feasible, and the existing monopole was selected specifically because of the opportunity to collocate rather than construct a new facility. However, the following limitations on the existing monopole necessitate an increase in overall height of the pole, from 100 feet to 120 feet. The necessary criteria for granting a variance, as outlined in Federal Way City Code (FWCC) 22-198, are addressed later in this letter. The existing monopole is owned by Verizon Wireless, and managed by American Tower Limited Partners. Under the management agreement between these parties, Verizon requires a 10 foot separation from the tips of their 20B WESTLAKE AVENUE N SEATTLE WA 98109 TEL. Fax. 206. 490.3EI39 antennas to the tips of any collocating carriers' antennas. Because of the required 10-foot antenna separation, there is no space between Verizon's existing antennas (existing height of 100 feet to antenna centerline) and Cingular's antennas (existing height of 80 feet to antenna centerline). As illustrated in Attachment 1 of this letter, there is currently a distance of approximately 14 feet between the top of Cingular's antennas and the bottom extent of Verizon's antennas. T-Mobile's antennas require a horizontal separation of 5 feet from Cingular's antennas to prevent interference. If placed on the existing monopole at a height that would provide the required 5 foot separation from the top of Cingular's antennas, T-Mobile's antennas would be located at a height of approximately 87 feet to the bottom of the antennas (90 feet to antenna centerline; 92 t/2 feet to the top of the antennas). This would place T-Mobile's antennas just 4 feet from the bottom of Verizon's antennas, which Verizon does not allow in accordance with the leasing agreement for this site. Before submitting this application, T-Mobile conducted radio "drive testing" to determine whether a lower available mounting height on the existing monopole would provide the necessary coverage for the proposed site. As outlined in the letter from Bill Sandes, T-Mobile's radio frequency engineer in charge of this site, and submitted with this application, heights of 55 feet and 75 feet were tested because these are the approximate heights that would be available for collocating T-Mobile's equipment if the existing monopole were not extended above its current height. As shown in the drive test exhibits, a height of 100 feet is the minimum height necessary to provide clearance above the surrounding vegetation and provide "residential" and "in vehicle" levels of coverage to the area around the intersection of the Pacific Highway and S. 320th Street and the S. 320th 1I-5 interchange. This is important because of the proposed site's function in "off-loading" capacity from T-Mobile antenna sites in the surrounding areas and in providing "in building" coverage to areas surrounding the Pacific Highway south of S. 320th Street. Attachment 2 illustrates a monopole extension of 15 feet, as allowed through a Use Process III permitting process. With T-Mobile placed at the minimum functional height of 99 feet (antenna centerline) adequate separation between T- Mobile antennas and the relocated Verizon Wireless antennas would not be provided. As shown in the exhibit, a 15 foot extension paired with placement of T-Mobile's antennas at 99 feet would provide a separation of 6 feet 8 inches, less than the 10-foot separation requirement that is mandated by the Verizon/American Tower sublease agreement. Attachment 3 illustrates a monopole extension of 20 feet, along with placement of T-Mobile's antennas at 99 feet. As noted above, a 20 foot extension would require approval of a variance through a Use Process IV; the criteria necessary for granting a variance are addressed at the end of this letter. Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 2 of 17 Priority of Location Criteria The proposed site is subject to the development standards iterated in FWCC Sections 22- 966 and 22-967, and must meet the decision criteria as specified by FWCC 22-395. The proposed site's conformance with the development standards and decision criteria is discussed in detail below. The locations of Personal Wireless Services Facilities are regulated through the priority of location criteria outlined in FWCC Section 22-966 (d). Specifically: (d) Prioritized locations. The following sites shall be the required order of locations for. proposed PWSFs; including antenna and equipment shelters. In proposing a PWSF in a particular location, the applicant shall analyze the feasibility of locating the proposed PWSF in each of the higher priority locations and document, to the city's satisfaction, why locating the PWSF in each higher priority location and/or zone is not being proposed. In order of preference, the prioritized locations for PWSFs are as follows: (1) Structures located in the BPA trail.... Response: T-Mobile currently has two existing facilities located on BPA transmission towers within a mile of the subject site and within the BPA Trail. Structures within the BPA Trail are situated such that using them to provide coverage to the targeted area is not possible. T-Mobile site SE4010, SETAC Mall is composed of T-Mobile antennas at the 187 foot level on a BPA tower located at the northeast quadrant of the I- 5/320th Street interchange, and SE4014, Ross Plaza, at the 55 foot level on a BPA tower at the southwest quadrant of the Pacific Highway and S. 324"' Street. In fact, the proposed facility is designed to provide additional radio capacity to serve the area around the interchange and the mall because SE4010 is nearing the limits of its design capacity. In addition to providing capacity, the proposed site is also designed to provide improved coverage to underserved residential areas south of S. 320th Street. (2) Existing broadcast, relay and transmission towers. A PWSF may be located on an existing site or tower where a legal wireless telecommunication facility is currently located regardless of underlying zoning. If an existing site or tower is located within a one mile radius of a proposed PWSF location, the applicant shall document why collocation on the existing site or tower is not Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 3 of 17 being proposed, regardless of whether the existing site or tower is located within the jurisdiction of the city. Response: This proposal meets the City of Federal Way's second highest priority by locating on an existing monopole. Submitted with this application, and labeled as Attachment 4, is a map showing the subject site and the area extending for a one mile radius around the subject site. As can be seen in this exhibit, there are four existing PWSFs within a one mile radius of the subject site. T-Mobile is collocated on three of the four facilities (SE4010 SETAC Mall and SE4014, Ross Plaza on BPA towers, and SE4680 New Life, a collocated monopole). There is one additional broadcast tower with potential for collocation within the one mile radius; it is owned by Trinity Broadcasting, and is located at 1909 S 341 st St. Trinity denied T-Mobile's request for collocation on this tower. Development Standards In addition to the priority of location criteria specified by FWCC 22-966 (d), the proposed site is subject to the requirements specified by FWCC 22-967 (1), Development Standards. Specific conformance with these standards is addressed in detail below. The following development standards shall be followed in the design, siting, and construction of a personal wireless service facility: (1) Building- or structure -mounted PWSFs not located in the public right-of-way. PWSFs mounted on existing buildings and structures not located in a public right-of-way shall conform to the following development standards: a. The PWSF shall consist only of the following types of facilities: 1. A microcell or a minor facility; or Response: The proposed facility exceeds the threshold for a minor facility, because six (6), rather than three antennas are proposed. 2. A PWSF that exceeds the minor facility thresholds for number of antennas, dimensions, and/or area, but creates no more adverse impacts than a minor facility, as determined by the director of community development services, subject to meeting all of the following standards: i. The facility shall not create substantially more adverse visual impact than a minor facility; and ii. The equipment cabinet for the PWSF shall meet all requirements of subsection (5) of this section; and Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 4 of 17 iii. The maximum size of the PWSF panels and number of antennas shall be determined by the director of community development services, based on the specific project location, surrounding environment, and potential visual impacts; and iv. The PWSF shall comply with all other applicable standards of the Federal Way City Code. Response: The proposed facility exceeds minor facility thresholds, as defined, due to the number and size of antennas proposed and the size of equipment. The proposed antennas have a height of 56 inches, thus exceeding the height limit of 4 feet for a minor facility by 8 inches. However, the total area of each antenna is 448 square inches; less than the allowable 580 square inches. T-Mobile's proposed equipment cabinets have overall heights of 6 feet 4 inches and 7 feet. T-Mobile requests a variance to allow this deviation in overall cabinet height. As shown on submitted plans and photographs, the existing landscaping areas surround the existing American Tower PWSF equipment area are 20 feet wide on the north and west, and approximately 15 feet on the south. The planting areas are quite dense, exceeding the standard for Level 2 landscaping and are dominated by conifers of approximately 20-25 feet in height. In addition, the subject site is adjoined on the north by a large garage that completely screens T-Mobile's proposed equipment area from view of residences to the north. In addition to a dense 15 foot wide buffer of mature vegetation on the south side of the existing equipment area, Verizon's equipment crosses the southern part of the equipment compound. The shelter has an east west dimension of 25 feet, and a height of approximately 12 feet above grade. The shelter will also serve as a substantial visual barrier on the south, completely screening the view of T-Mobile's ground based equipment from residences or rights of way to the south. In regard to the Planning Director's approval of the proposed structure extension and the number of antennas allowed at the subject site, the proposal conforms with the spirit and intent of FWCC 22-966 and 22- 967. The subject American Tower facility has existed at this location since the mid 1990's. As such, residents and the traveling public have become used to seeing the existing facility. Extending the existing facility by approximately 20 feet (or increasing the existing height by 20 percent) in this area, and adding an antenna array with an appearance similar to the other arrays on this facility will have a lesser visual impact than construction of a new PWSF. It should also be noted that Verizon Wireless has filed an application for aeronautical study with the Federal Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 5 of 17 Aviation Administration (FAA) to allow removal of the existing red obstruction lighting. According to the completed determination, (copy attached) the FAA will allow removal of the obstruction lighting from the tower, further reducing the visual impact of the extended tower. b. The combined antennas and supporting structure may extend up to, but not exceed, 15 feet above the existing or proposed roof or other structure regardless of whether the existing structure is in conformance with the existing maximum height of the underlying zone as outlined in the use zone charts, Article XI of this chapter, District Regulations. Antennas may be mounted to rooftop appurtenances provided they do not extend beyond 15 feet above the roof proper. Response The proposed monopole extension will consist of removing the top 5 feet of the existing monopole structure and adding a 25 foot extension over the existing structure, resulting in an overall increase in height of 20 feet above the existing height of 100 feet; a total height of 120 feet. The extension of the existing monopole by an increment of 20 feet would require approval of a Process IV land use approval in accordance with the provisions of FWCC 22- 681, 2 b (1) relative to PWSFs in multifamily residential (RM) zoning districts. c. The antennas are mounted on the building or structure such that they are located and designed to minimize visual and aesthetic impacts to surrounding land uses and structures and shall, to the greatest extent practical, blend into the existing environment pursuant to subsection (4) of this section. Panel and parabolic antennas shall be screened from residential views and public rights -of -way unless meeting the provision of FWCC 22-960(b)(2). Response: The proposed facility matches the antenna profiles of the existing facility's other carriers and thus will blend into the existing environment. FWCC 22- 960(b)(2) is appropriately met as the proposed antennas are factory painted a light Washington Sky Gray. Furthermore, due to the height of the existing tower, surrounding tall trees, mature landscaping, and existing wall structures to the north and south of the existing PWSF equipment area, the proposed facility is adequately screened from residential views and public rights -of - way. Also, as noted above, the FAA has determined that obstruction lighting is not required for the proposed tower, thus the existing red obstruction light can be removed, which will also reduce the visual effect of the extended facility. (2) PWSFs located on structures within appropriate public rights -of -way... Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Comer Page 6 of 17 Response: Not applicable to this request. (3) New freestanding PWSFs.... Response: Not applicable to this request. (4) Screening standards for all PWSFs. PWSFs shall be screened or camouflaged through employing the best available technology and design, as determined by the city. This may be accomplished by use of compatible materials, location, landscaping, color, stealth techniques such as, but not limited to, artificial trees and hollow flag poles, and/or other methods or techniques to achieve minimum visibility of the facility as viewed from public streets or residential properties. In addition, the provisions for landscaping as outlined in the use zone charts, Article XI of this chapter, District Regulations, shall apply. Response. As noted above and indicated on submitted plans, the proposed antennas will be similar in appearance to those that are already collocated on the existing monopole support structure. The height of the existing tower, the surrounding tall trees, mature landscaping, and existing wall structures to the north and south of the existing PWSF equipment area, will all screen the various components of the extended facility from residential views and public rights -of -way. The existing landscape buffers on the north, west and south of the existing equipment area extending 20 feet on the north, 20 feet on the west, and 15 feet on the south exceed the minimum requirement for 5 feet of Type III landscaping specified in FWCC 22-681 for PWSFs in RM zones. (5) Standards for electronics equipment enclosures. a. The following shall be the required order of locations for proposed electronic equipment enclosures for all PWSFs. In proposing an equipment enclosure in a particular location, the applicant shall analyze the feasibility of locating the proposed equipment enclosure in each of the higher priority locations and document, to the city's satisfaction, why locating the equipment enclosure in each higher priority location is not being proposed. In requesting a lower priority location for the equipment enclosure, the burden of demonstrating impracticability shall be on the applicant. In order of preference, the prioritized locations for equipment enclosures are as follows: 1. Equipment enclosures shall be placed underground. Process III and Process rV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 7 of 17 Response: Placement of the equipment enclosure underground is impractical for the ,-following reasons. First, it would require removal of far more existing vegetation for placement of an underground vault than would be the case for the above ground equipment layout as shown on submitted plans. As proposed, one existing shrub (no trees) would be removed for placement of T-Mobile's 8 foot x 12 foot (96 square foot) equipment pad. In order to provide adequate air circulation to an enclosed vault, a much larger excavation (approximately 20 feet x 12 feet) is required, which would necessitate removal of some of the existing mature trees. 2. Equipment enclosures shall be placed in an existing completely enclosed building. Response- T-Mobile's equipment is designed for outdoor use, but can be placed in buildings with proper ventilation. However, there are no buildings on the site with room for placement of T-Mobile's equipment. In addition, constructing a building around the proposed equipment area will require more space, potentially require removal of existing trees, and result in a bulkier appearance than is the case with the proposed installation. 3. Equipment enclosures shall be placed above ground in an enclosed cabinet that shall not exceed six feet in height and occupy more than 48 square feet of floor area, including areas for maintenance or future expansion. Response: Three cabinets, each having a footprint of approximately 2 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 6 inches, will be aligned within the equipment compound. The overall floor area occupied by the cabinets would be 18.75 square feet, well below the maximum allowable floor area. The equipment cabinets have overall heights of 6 feet 4 inches and 7 feet; T- Mobile requests a variance to allow this minor deviation in overall height, based on the substantial existing screening of the subject site. As noted above, and demonstrated in the submittal materials, surrounding tall trees, mature landscaping, and existing wall structures to the north and south of the existing PWSF equipment area, will adequately screen the proposed equipment cabinets from residential views and public rights -of -way. 4. Equipment enclosures shall be placed above ground in a new completely enclosed building. Response: Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 8 of 17 Construction of a new equipment building would also require a larger footprint within the existing equipment area than the proposed equipment pad, and -would likely require the removal of at least one of the large conifers in the vicinity of T-Mobile's equipment. The typical equipment shed used for T- Mobile ground based equipment has dimensions of 11 feet x 14'/2 feet (159.5 square feet). This is substantially larger than the 96 square foot equipment pad being proposed, and would require the removal of at least one of the large trees on the north to accommodate the structure. b. If above -ground, equipment enclosures shall be screened with one or a combination of the following methods, which shall be acceptable to the city: Fencing, walls, landscaping, structures, buildings or topography which will block the view of the equipment enclosure to the greatest extent possible from any street and/or adjacent properties, as determined by the director of community development services. Screening may be located anywhere between the enclosure and the above mentioned viewpoints. Landscaping for the purposes of screening shall be maintained in a healthy condition, as determined by the city. Response:_ As shown on submitted plans and photographs, T-Mobile's equipment would be well screened by the 15-20 foot wide buffers of existing mature vegetation on the north, east and south sides of the existing equipment area, as well as the wall of the existing buildings on the north and south sides of the compound. The existing landscaping and screening exceeds the requirements for 5 feet of Type III landscaping as specified in Article XI of FWCC 22. (6) Additional standards for equipment enclosures for PWSFs located on structures within appropriate public rights -of -way..... Response: Not applicable to this request (7) Security fencing. a. No fence shall exceed six feet in height as stipulated in FWCC 22- 1133(5). Response: The existing fencing on the site exceeds a height of 6 feet, and will remain as part of the site's development. Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Comer Page 9of17 b. Security fencing shall be effectively screened from view through the use •- of appropriate landscaping materials. Response: The mix of fencing, mature vegetation, and walls on the north and south of the compound provide an effective screen of the existing equipment area and exceed the landscaping requirements specified in Article XI of FWCC 22. The addition of T-Mobile's equipment will not constitute a substantial change in the visual quality of the area. c. Chain -link fences shall be painted or coated with a nonreflective color. Response: As noted above, the existing fencing, which is not painted or coated, will remain on the subject site. The mix of fencing, mature vegetation, and walls on the north and south of the compound provide an effective screen of the existing equipment area. (8) Cumulative effects. The city shall consider the cumulative visual effects of PWSFs mounted on existing structures and/or located on a given permitted site in determining whether additional permits may be granted so as to not adversely effect the visual character of the city. Response - As demonstrated in the written materials, and the exhibits submitted with this request, the subject existing PWSF is the only location within a mile radius that will provide an appropriate location for placement of T-Mobile's antennas and equipment. T-Mobile is currently collocated on three of the four existing structures (BPA towers and an existing monopole) within one mile of the subject site. The fourth support structure within a mile, owned by Trinity Broadcasting, is not available for collocation. According to the letter and "drive test" exhibits provided by the RF engineer for this site, the proposed monopole extension to a height of 120 feet is necessary for the site to have connectivity with other T-Mobile sites in the area and provide service to residential and business customers in the area south of 324th Street. The monopole extension is also made necessary because of the number and position of antenna arrays already on the tower (Verizon at the top of the existing tower, Cingular at 80 feet, Clearwire at 70 feet. Because of the requirement for 5-10 feet of horizontal space from tip of antenna to tip of antenna, there is no position available on the existing monopole for placement of T-Mobile's antennas that would provide functionality in the T-Mobile network. Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 10 of 17 The existing monopole has been at this location for approximately 10 years, and a 20 percent increase in the overall height will be barely discernible from the surrounding area. There are simply no other locations, given the zoning and development patterns of the surrounding area, that provide an opportunity for placing T-Mobile's antennas that would either have less impact or provide a functional site for T-Mobile. (9) Signage. No wireless equipment shall be used for the purpose of mounting signs or message displays of any kind, except for small signs used for identification and name of provider. Response: As shown on submitted plans, the only signage that would be placed on the site would be radio frequency warning and site identification signs as required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). (10) Use zone charts, height and permit process. a. The final approval authority for applications made under this section shall be defined by the appropriate permit process as outlined in the use zone charts, Article XI of this chapter, District Regulations. Response- Applications for Type III and Type IV land use permits are submitted, in accordance with Article XI, District Regulations. b. Allowed heights shall be established relative to appropriate process as outlined in the use zone charts, Article XI of this chapter, District Regulations. Extending the support structure by 20 feet would require approval of a variance (Use Process IV), in accordance with Article XI, District Regulations. As noted above, T-Mobile is also requesting a Planning Director waiver to allow the equipment cabinets to exceed the 6 foot height limit for support equipment, based on the existing buffers at the site, which will provide full screening of the cabinets. Decisional Criteria for Process III Review The proposed development conforms with the Decisional Criteria for Process III Review as required by FWCC 22-395 (b) as outlined below. (b) Decisional criteria. The director of community development services shall use the criteria listed in the provision of this chapter describing the Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Comer Page 11 of 17 requested decision in deciding upon the application. In addition, the director of community development services may approve the application only if: (1) It is consistent with the comprehensive plan; Response: The Comprehensive Plan addresses goals, plans, and policies relative to various private utilities in Chapter 10 of the Comprehensive Plan. Recognizing that wireless systems are driven by local market demand, Chapter 10 of the Plan includes only two specific policies that relate directly to PWSFs. Conformance with those policies is addressed below. PUP17 The City should require that site -specific utility facilities such as antennas and substations be reasonably and appropriately sited and screened to mitigate adverse aesthetic impacts. PUP19 Through its development regulations, the City shall continue to address the siting, screening, and design standards for wireless/cellular facilities, substations, and antenna facilities in such a manner as to allow for reasonable and predictable review while minimizing potential land use and visual impacts on adjacent property. Response: The City's review process for siting and construction of PWSFs is relatively straightforward and predictable, and contains reasonable controls for mitigating potential adverse impacts. Extending the existing monopole by a total of 20 feet would conform with the applicable adopted regulations of FWCC 22-966 and FWCC 22-967, and would have minimal impact on surrounding properties. (2),It is consistent with all applicable provisions of this chapter; Response: As noted in detail in the foregoing documentation and the submitted plans, the proposed PWSF meets all of the location criteria and development standards as specified by FWCC 22-966 and FWCC 22-967, with the exception of 22-967 (5) a 3, relative to the size of the proposed equipment cabinets. In this case, the cabinets would have overall heights of 6 feet 9 inches and 7 feet, exceeding the height requirement by a maximum of 9 inches. T-Mobile is requesting a Planning Director waiver to allow this minor deviation in overall height. The existing substantial landscaping that surrounds the equipment area and building walls that adjoin it on the north and south, will provide full screening of the equipment cabinets. Furthermore, placement of the equipment on an open equipment pad will have less of an impact to the existing landscaping than would placing the equipment underground or in a shed type structure. Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 12 of 17 (3) It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare; -Response: As stated in the letter from the RF engineer responsible for this site, it is important to note that one of the factors driving T-Mobile to place PWSFs in or near residential areas is to provide improved triangulation and accuracy in finding a wireless caller in distress in accordance with FCC regulations for Wireless E911 service. Wireless phones are integral to public safety. Each day there are more than 200,000 wireless 9-1-1 calls and that number grows daily as more people use their wireless phones to call for emergency help, to save lives and to help fight crime. This proposed site will provide additional infrastructure that supports public safety needs. (4) The streets and utilities in the area of the subject property are adequate to serve the anticipated demand from the proposal; and Resnonse' PWSFs place no demand on water, sewer, or natural gas infrastructure, and do not require trash pickup, or impact area schools. With as few as one to two trips per month, they also place no demand on transportation infrastructure. Therefore, the streets and utilities in the area of the subject property are adequate to serve the anticipated minimal demand from the proposed PWSF. (5) The proposed access to the subject property is at the optimal location and configuration. Response: Access to the subject property would remain unchanged with the addition of a 20 foot monopole extension and placement of T-Mobile's ground based equipment. Decision Criteria for Granting a Variance 22-198 Criteria for grant. FWCC 22-198 provides four criteria for the granting of a variance application, which are addressed below. The city may grant the variance only if it finds all of the following: (1) That the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. Process III and Process N Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Comer Page 13 of 17 Response: ..Granting of this variance will not grant a special privilege with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone. The proposed extension of the existing tower is allowed in the RM zone on a case by case basis in accordance with the provisions of FWCC 22-681. As such, the variance will not grant T-Mobile any special privileges inconsistent with the existing uses or uses which can be established in the area. Other cellular providers may request a variance to extend support structures and locate antennas on other existing structures within this zone. Thus, granting the variance would not grant a special privilege to T-Mobile that is not available to other providers of wireless service. Attachment 4, submitted with this application, is a zoning map that shows T- Mobile's existing sites and other existing PWSFs in the surrounding area. As shown on the map, T-Mobile currently has 3 PWSFs within a mile of the subject site. Of these 3 PWSFs, one is located within the City limits of Federal Way, on a BPA tower (SE4014 Ross Plz); the other two are located outside the City limits, and on the east side of I-5. The location of the proposed facility is determined by its relationship with other existing T-Mobile sites, and its function within T-Mobile's network. In order to serve both of the intended functions of this site, the proposed antennas must be located near the highway, AND have sufficient height above the surrounding vegetation to provide adequate signal strength to the area west of the site. As shown in the drive test exhibits submitted with this application, 100 feet is the minimum height necessary to provide "residential" and "in vehicle" levels of coverage extending to the intersection of the Pacific Highway and S. 320th Street and the S. 320th J-5 interchange. This is important because of the proposed site's function in "off-loading" capacity from existing T-Mobile antenna sites in the area. In addition, the proposed height is necessary to provide in building coverage to areas surrounding the Pacific Highway south of S. 320th Street. Based on the radio frequency data presented with this application, the requested variance is the minimum necessary relief for meeting the dual coverage objectives of the subject site. Further, the variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located for the following reasons: The subject site and surrounding area within one-half mile of the site are zoned for residential development. Under current provisions of the PWSF code (FWCC 22-681 and FWC 22-967), the only type of new facility that could be developed in this vicinity would consist of Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 14 of 17 extending antennas above a private building or a utility pole within the right-of-way by no more than 15 feet. The tree cover in this vicinity exceeds 75-80 feet in much of the area, which, as shown in the drive test exhibits, provides significant obstruction of T-Mobile's signal in the area. Using existing utility poles or low rise buildings to support a 15 foot antenna extension would not provide adequate height for T- Mobile's antennas to provide adequate levels of coverage with respect to other T-Mobile sites in the surrounding area. FWCC 22-681 provides a specific procedure to allow the extension of the existing PWSF by more than 15 feet. The request is not a request for grant of a special privilege. (2) That the variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the subject property to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. Response: The variance is necessary because of special circumstances imposed by the height of existing trees, existing zoning and land uses, and radio frequency physics. Due to these circumstances the use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity would be denied to this property without the variance. As stated in the Radio Frequency Engineer Site Analysis, height of the existing trees requires the proposed height to provide clearance in the area surrounding the site. In order to fulfill the specific function in the T-Mobile network for which the facility was designed, the T-Mobile antennas must have sufficient height to provide connections to surrounding sites. The need for height that exceeds the maximum 15 foot limit is demonstrated in the drive test exhibits submitted with the letter from the RF engineer in charge of this site. (3) That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. Response: Granting this variance request will enhance public welfare. As previously mentioned, wireless phones are integral to public safety. Citizens of Federal Way rely on cell phones for emergency calls and are often the only method of communication in emergency situations. Valley Communications, the provider of E911 services, received 25% of all emergency calls from cell phones. (111,128 out of 447,008 calls in 2005). As cell phone usage increases, this Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 15 of 17 percentage will increase, too and demonstrate the increased reliance on cell phones for public safety. Besides providing greater signal strength for in -building coverage that will provide better service to residential and commercial customers in the area, the proposed PWSF will provide more precise triangulation for providing E911 service. This will allow a person who is using E911 because of an emergency to be found more quickly because their location will be more easily determined as this and other antenna sites are added to the wireless network. Provision of wireless E911 service is compatible with public welfare. Extending the existing 100 foot tower by 20 feet will not be injurious to properties in the vicinity. The subject PWSF has been at this location for approximately 10 years and has become part of the landscape. Extending the existing tower by 20 feet (rather than 15 feet as allowed by Code) will result in a deviation of less than 1 percent of the total allowed height, and will have relatively little visual impact. (5 feet /120 feet) versus (5 feet /115 feet) = 4.34 % height increase versus a 4.16 % height increase. There would be little apparent change in the appearance of the PWSF resulting from the proposed extension of the tower. The equipment compound is heavily landscaped and fenced, and the proposed equipment would be hidden from view. The one other positive feature of the proposed extension, as mentioned previously, is that the existing red obstruction light would also be removed, as the FAA has determined that it is no longer needed at this location. (4) That the special circumstances of the subject property are not the result of the actions of the owner of the subject property. T-Mobile, the applicant in this case, is the wireless service provider that would be most affected by a contractual restriction that affects the subject tower. The special circumstances that affect this tower were not self-induced by actions of the applicant. Rather, the following factors have combined in such a way that there is no other location available in this vicinity for T-Mobile to install antennas that would provide functional service in its network: Tree cover in the vicinity that is an average of 75-80 feet in much of the area, which blocks radio signals and requires that T-Mobile position its antennas at a height of at least 99 feet in order for them to function with other T-Mobile sites, as demonstrated in the drive test data submitted by the RF engineer; The antenna separation restriction imposed on this tower; and the position of other antennas above and below the height that T-Mobile requires for its antennas to function. Process III and Process IV Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 16 of 17 As stated in the letter from American Tower Corporation, which manages the subject site, the existing tower is subject to a restriction imposed by the owner .of the tower, AirTouch Wireless (now dba Verizon Wireless). Under the terms of this agreement, Verizon Wireless has reserved the top position of the subject tower, and maintains a mandatory separation distance of ten (10) feet between its antennas and the closest extent of any other antennas that are co -located on the tower, in order to avoid potential interference issues. In order for T- Mobile's antennas to meet the coverage objective for the proposed site, they must be located no lower than the 99 foot centerline that is being requested with this application. A lower height, as demonstrated in the radio frequency drive test maps, will not provide sufficient clearance above the surrounding vegetation to provide connections to surrounding T-Mobile sites. T-Mobile has demonstrated, through the written materials, RF supporting documents, site plan, and graphic exhibits that the proposed monopole extension will conform with the intent and spirit of the Comprehensive Plan and applicable portions of the Federal Way City Code relative to wireless facilities and Process III and Process IV Reviews. In addition, all four of the variance criteria are met with this application including • the variance will not grant special privileges; • special circumstances of the area require the variance; • the variance will not be injurious to public welfare but will enhance public safety and will have very little visual impact; and • the circumstances are not the result of T-Mobile or the property owner's actions.

Re: Request for approval of a Process IV application to allow a 20 foot extension of an existing 100 foot monopole support structure and the addition of six (6) T-Mobile antennas at 2101 S 324`h Street (APN 1621049037) Dear Permitting Authorities; This letter is being submitted to provide background information regarding T-Mobile's request for approval to expand an existing personal wireless services facility (PWSF) tower located on property at 2101 S 324t' Street in the City of Federal Way (APN 1621049037). American Tower manages the subject PWSF and hundreds of other towers and antenna locations through a nationwide sublease agreement executed by American Tower Delaware Corporation, and AirTouch Communications, Inc. (d/b/a Verizon Wireless), on January 19, 2000. Under the terms of this agreement, Verizon Wireless has reserved the top position of the subject tower, and maintains a mandatory separation distance of ten (10) feet between its antennas and the closest extent of any other antennas that are co -located on the tower, in order to avoid potential interference issues. As shown on the plans submitted with T-Mobile's application, under the current proposal, which includes a 20 foot extension of the existing tower, the top of T-Mobile's proposed antennas would be located at a height of 101 feet, 4 inches above ground level. The bottom of Verizon's existing antennas would be at a height of 113 feet above ground level, resulting in a separation, from tip of antenna to tip of antenna, of 11 feet, 8 inches. Reducing the pole extension to comply with the City's limit of a 15 foot extension would reduce this separation to approximately 6 feet, 8 inches, which is not allowable under the terms of the American Tower/AirTouch sublease agreement. If additional information regarding American Tower's management of the tower site or the American Tower / AirTouch sublease agreement is needed, please call.

T-Mobile Project No.: SE4018A Project Name: Kitts Corner Project Description: extend existing 100 foot monopole to a total height of 120 feet, and add 6 T-Mobile antennas at the 99 foot level. Location: 2101 S 324th Street, Federal Way WA Date: June 23, 2006 T-Mobile Site Selection Overview Wireless systems are expanded or introduced in a given area to improve service to customers. There are typically three reasons to add a new facility: extending coverage to new areas, increasing the capacity of the system within the current service area, or improving quality. Some sites do all three. Coverage: Coverage can be defined as having a certain level of signal strength in a particular area. T-Mobile's target is to provide —76dBm of signal strength to our customers in all areas. This level of coverage guarantees reliable signal strength inside buildings to provide excellent voice quality in residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. In today's competitive marketplace, T-Mobile requires adequate coverage to be competitive and to fulfill our responsibilities under our FCC license. Existing and proposed coverage is demonstrated by use of propagation maps and drive test data. The propagation maps are computer simulations of wireless signal coverage in a given area. One map shows the predicted coverage as it exists without the proposed facility. The other map shows predicted coverage with the proposed facility in place. Propagation maps showing RF coverage in the subject service area with and without the proposed antennas are included as Attachments lA and 1B. "Receive call" quality (Rx Qual) is another method for predicting the effectiveness of a proposed location. In this particular case, we felt it necessary to demonstrate that the proposed monopole extension is supported by the evidence submitted with this application. This testing is done with a "drive test" of the area. The results of the drive test are represented in Attachments 2A, 213, and 2C. A drive test is performed by placing a crane -mounted radio transmitting device at the height proposed in the pending application, and detecting the strength of the transmitted signal in automobiles that are equipped with radio receiving devices. Additional information regarding the drive test data for this site is summarized later in this letter. Capacity: Capacity is the number of calls that can be handled by a particular antenna site. When we make phone calls, our mobile phones communicate with a nearby antenna site that then connects to land based phone lines. Ongoing phone calls occupy the resources of the serving site, which can handle only a limited number of calls. When a particular antenna site is handling a sufficient number of calls, the available radio frequency (RF) channels assigned to that site are used up. When this occurs, the wireless phone user will hear a busy signal on his or her phone. For T-Mobile's specific GSM technology, typical sites with 3 antennas can handle approximately 150 calls at any given time. The maximum capacity of each antenna is equivalent to approximately 50 people calling continuously over an hour. The engineering term for this measurement of capacity is 50 Erlangs. The call traffic of antenna sites is continuously monitored and analyzed so that overloading of sites is prevented. Careful projection allows sufficient lead time to design, permit, and construct the wireless facility prior to exceeding the capacity of surrounding sites. Capacity cell sites are typically required in areas that currently have sufficient coverage. The objective for a capacity site is to handle increased call volume rather than increase the size of a coverage area. Interference: In areas with good coverage, phone calls may still have poor quality that the caller hears as warbled voices or temporary loss of communication. This is often caused by interference. Wireless telephone systems reuse specific radio frequencies at different cell antenna locations. When frequencies are reused at nearby sites, interference may result. Engineers work to achieve the most efficient use of limited frequency resources and reduce interference. Unfortunately, there are still areas where interference is nearly unavoidable. This typically occurs in areas where one antenna site is having trouble handing off calls to another. On a freeway or busy roadway, for example, the network juggles a call between competing antenna sites, seeking to fmd the best one. When this occurs, the solution is often to locate a new antenna site as close to the location where the bad handoff is occurring. Interference is documented by measuring received call quality (Rx Qual) during a drive test similar to that performed to measure coverage. Rx Qual is a measurement of digital data (voice signal) lost as the result of poor communication between adjacent cell sites. Drive test maps demonstrate the Rx Qual of the area as it exists both with and without the proposed cell site. Site Selection Process for this Location For this project, a need for additional wireless capacity was identified in the subject area, due to the heavy vehicular traffic around the I-5/320tb Street interchange and the Federal Way Commons, SeaTac Village, and related commercial areas. T-Mobile's existing sites that serve the area around the mall are known as T-Mobile Site "SE4014, Ross Plaza" and "SE 4010, SeTac Mall". The Ross Plaza site is a BPA tower, with T-Mobile's antennas at the 55 foot level (antenna centerline) located at the southwest comer of S. 324t" Street and the Pacific Highway. The "SeTac Mall" site is composed of antennas mounted on a Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) transmission line tower at the northeast quadrant of the I-5 /320th Street interchange. The need for additional capacity was identified from monitoring data from these sites. A coverage gap was also determined to exist in the residential and commercial areas located west of the subject site. This determination is illustrated in the preliminary design analysis/propagation, which appears as Attachments 1A and 1B at the end of this report. To perform the analysis/propagation study, data regarding the terrain within the service area is entered into a computer modeling program along with a series of variables, such as proposed antenna height, available radio frequencies and wireless equipment characteristics. From this information, T-Mobile's RF engineers determined an area for the optimum location and height of the Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) antenna to maximize the coverage objective. The specific location and design of the proposed site has been selected to maximize coverage while conforming with the antenna height requirement of the City of Federal Way. The required antenna height is the minimum acceptable to provide clearance above the existing trees in the areas surrounding the site. Lower antenna height will result in reduced effectiveness, including possible invalidation of the candidate. In some cases, an increased antenna height is possible which can allow some greater flexibility in location placement. However, too much antenna height is unacceptable as it creates interference conditions that degrade performance of one or more other existing cell sites in the T- Mobile network. When the initial technical analysis was completed, a search area map and other requirements were provided to T-Mobile's real estate and zoning specialists. With this information in hand, T- Mobile ranked potential sites. Whenever feasible, T-Mobile strives to acquire property that is properly zoned and adjacent to compatible land uses. T-Mobile attempts to select a location that minimizes or limits any negative visual impacts on adjacent or nearby residential areas to the greatest extent possible. Sites adjacent to existing tall power lines, antenna facilities, water treatment facilities, and on the tops of buildings are selected when they meet the other technical requirements of the system. To the maximum extent possible, new freestanding towers are avoided, as are locations adjacent to schools, preschools and view corridors or where demolition is required that would be detrimental to the existing character of the neighborhood. Rooftop and utility pole applications are favored where the design can be screened or incorporated into the existing structure and mechanical equipment can be placed out of view. Sites where zoning ordinances prohibit the location, insufficient room for mechanical equipment is available, required setbacks cannot be achieved or landowners are not interested in leasing property are eliminated from consideration. The location of the existing 100 foot tall American Tower Corporation monopole provides a good opportunity to place the proposed facility near the I-5 interchange and provide the needed wireless capacity, while also improving coverage to residential and commercial areas to the west. However, the American Tower monopole is currently occupied by Verizon Wireless antennas at the top position (100 foot antenna centerline) and Cingular antennas at the 80 foot level (antenna centerline). An application for the installation of Clearwire antennas at the 65 and 71 foot levels is also pending land use approval in the City of Federal Way. Because Verizon wireless requires a ten foot separation between its antennas and those of other carriers, there is no room for T-Mobile antennas above the 60 foot level. In order to provide the required distance between antennas and clearance above surrounding vegetation, it is necessary to increase the overall height of the pole. Predicted Coverage for this Location Propagation Studies Two coverage plots, known as "propagation maps" and labeled Attachment I and Attachment 1B,are attached to this analysis. Attachment lA demonstrates the predicted level of existing service. Attachment I demonstrates the service that will be provided by the new location at a height of 100 feet (antenna center line). Any of the lower heights available on the monopole will not provide coverage or operate effectively because of the height of the adjacent vegetation. The colors on the map indicate the different levels of coverage. The legend of the prediction plot shows several different classes of "best servers". The various colors of the plot indicate where a T-mobile handset can be reliably used to make and receive telephone calls in the presence of varying receive signals. The terrain, foliage, nearby structures, and WCF location are taken into account. The further the distance from the WCF, or the more abundant the clutter (trees, buildings, etc.) between the WCF and the handset, the weaker the receive signal will be. The following is a short explanation of each server class/ color: Green: Indoor coverage represented by receive signals equal to or greater than -76 dBm Yellow: In -Vehicle and outdoor coverage are represented by receive signals greater than or equal to -84 dBm. White: No coverage or unreliable coverage The various parameters of the RF prediction model include terrain and clutter and are modified to more accurately reflect the actual terrain and topography of the specific location on the radio coverage predictions. Other factors, not represented on the plot, include the ability of the site to handle the required call capacity or volume of calls and to provide the extent of data and other services required by T- Mobile customers. This site has been designed to provide coverage consistent with these factors. Finally, T-Mobile RF engineers have determined that this height and location is necessary for the effective functioning of the minor communication utility. Drive Test Data As mentioned previously, "receive call" quality (Rx Qual), obtained from drive test data, is another method for predicting the effectiveness of a proposed location. Because it is based on actual testing in the field, drive test data is often used to calibrate the models used in predictive propagation studies. After the drive test is performed, the signal strength detected by the testing equipment is plotted and color -coded as shown in the attached graphics (Exhibits 2A, 2B, and 2C). The drive test plots show three different scenarios. The first, labeled "Kitts Corner at 55 feet" shows the level of coverage that would be provided if T-Mobile antennas were added at the 55 foot level; the second plot, labeled ""Kitts Corner at 75 feet" shows the coverage if T-Mobile antennas were added at the 75 foot level; and the third plot, labeled ""Kitts Corner at 100 feet" shows the coverage if T-Mobile antennas were added at the 100 foot level. The legend of the drive test plot shows several different classes of coverage. The various colors of the plot indicate where a T-mobile handset can be reliably used to make, receive, and hold telephone calls in the presence of varying signal strength. Following is a short explanation of the color -coding used on the exhibits: • "Residential" and "In -Vehicle" coverage in which a handset will likely hold a call in a moving automobile, depending on terrain and existing vegetation, requires signals greater than or equal to -85 dBm ,(shown in yellow in this exhibit). "Outdoor only" coverage, in which a handset will be able to make or receive a call only if the user is standing out in the open, requires signals of -90dBm to -85 dBm (shown in light olive green in this exhibit). • Less desirable outdoor coverage, where signals of —90 dBm to —95 dBm occur, are shown in dark olive green in this exhibit. Dropped calls and coverage gaps, where signals of-100 dBm to -140 dBm occur, are shown in navy blue and white in this exhibit. The heights of 55 feet and 75 feet were selected for testing because these are the approximate heights that would be available for collocating T-Mobile's equipment if the existing monopole is not extended above its current height. As shown in the drive test exhibits, 100 feet is the minimum height necessary to provide "residential" and "in vehicle" levels of coverage extending to the intersection of the Pacific Highway and S. 3200' Street and the S. 320'h 11-5 interchange. This is important because of the proposed site's function in "off-loading" capacity from the T-Mobile antennas sites at these locations (SE4010 and SE4014, mentioned previously). In addition, the proposed height is necessary to provide in building coverage to areas surrounding the Pacific Highway south of S. 320t' Street. Enhanced 911 T911) Requirements In addition to providing improved service to T-Mobile customers, the proposed antenna location is needed to meet Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements for Enhanced 911 (E911) service. The wireless E911 program is divided into two phases. Phase I requires wireless carriers, upon request from a local Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), to report the telephone number of a wireless 911 caller and the location of the antenna that received the call. Phase U of the E911 program requires wireless carriers to provide far more precise location information, within 50 to 100 meters in most cases. The FCC established a four-year schedule for Phase 11. It began on October 1, 2001 and was to be completed in most urban areas by December 31, 2005. Provision of E911 service in accordance with FCC requirements is a major component of the demand for additional cell sites. In addition to providing greater signal strength for in -building coverage that will provide better service to residential and commercial customers in the area, the proposed WTF will provide more precise triangulation for providing E911 service as required by the FCC. This will allow a person who is using E911 because of an emergency to be found more quickly because their location will be more easily determined as this and other antenna sites are added to the wireless network. Conclusion T-Mobile engineers have carefully designed this site to maximize quality of service to our customers, which can best be accomplished at a height of 100 feet (antenna centerline). This location was also selected because of its position relative to existing sites, providing favorable site geometry for federally mandated E911 location accuracy requirements and efficient frequency reuse. Good site geometry is needed to achieve accurate location of mobile users through triangulation with existing and proposed sites. RELATED INFORMATION About T-Mobile's Wireless Network T-Mobile operates the largest all digital, nationwide wireless network based on the globally dominant GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology. T-Mobile's entire network has been enhanced to provide customers wireless Internet access and operates the largest carrier owned "Wi-Fi" wireless broadband network in the world with service in over 5,100 public locations under the name T-Mobile HotSpotsm Overview of Wireiess Technology Wireless service operates through cellular radio telephone networks, which are comprised of thousands of cell antenna sites, switching facilities, and other network elements. All cell antenna sites are radio frequency (RF) transmitters operating at different frequencies. Each wireless carrier is assigned a very limited amount of frequency, which is divided into a certain number of RF channels. RF Channels are assigned to each of the cell sites for communication with our handheld wireless phones. Since the number of channels is very limited, they have to be reused at different cell sites. The problem with reusing RF channels is the potential for interference. When a cell site is using the same RF channel as another cell site nearby, this can cause interference. Sometimes when you use a cell phone you may hear a metallic sound or wobbling. This is probably caused by interference. In order to minimize the interference from one site to another site that is using the same RF channel, all cell sites transmit at very low power level. The output of the wireless antenna sites is typically about 20 Watts. The RF emissions from a wireless antenna site are very minimal compared to the output power of other RF equipment. For example, a TV antenna towers' power output is in excess of 1000 Watts. Due to the low-level power output of wireless antennas, each cell site covers only a very limited area. In order to provide consistent, homogenous, quality wireless service, cell antenna sites are normally less than one mile apart. The exact distance required between cell antenna sites is determined by terrain, blockage from structures, call volume and antenna height. How does a wireless antenna work and what is its function? Wireless antennas send and receive radio signals. The RF carries the phone call to or from a wireless base station antenna that then connects your phone with the phone you are calling or with the phone calling you. Engineers carefully design each antenna to make sure it sends signals in precisely the right direction and at the right power level to provide the best calling quality to its coverage zone or "cell area." It is important to note the difference between antennas, towers and base stations. Antennas transmit the RF and are attached to structures such as buildings or towers. The antennas, towers and all of the related equipment make up a cell site. Cells, or coverage areas, come in all sizes — they may be as small as a single building (like an airport or an arena), as large as a rural area of 20 miles across, or any size in between — and each cell has its own base station. When you place a wireless call, your phone uses low -power radio signals to send your voice to an antenna at a base station. The base station sends your call to a switching center where it is connected to the landline phone network and delivered to the phone you called. If you are calling another wireless phone nearby, the switch might just connect you directly to another base station in the cell where the other phone is located. When you approach the boundary of one cell while using your -wireless phone, the wireless network senses that the signal is becoming weak and automatically "hands off' the call to a base station in the next cell and your call continues uninterrupted. An antenna distributes radio waves throughout its cell much like a lamp distributes light throughout a room. A light bulb can provide light evenly throughout a room if it's located in the right place. In the same way, a properly located antenna can provide high -quality calling throughout its cell. That's why they're usually found above the ground on towers, poles, and buildings. Apart from improving service to T-Mobile's existing customer base, T-Mobile has experienced phenomenal growth in the last few years, with an average national customer growth rate of almost 40% per year. It is not unusual for T-Mobile to add more than a million nationwide customers per fiscal quarter. T-Mobile forecasts this phenomenal growth to continue, and T-Mobile's system design accounts for this predicted growth. I hope this information is useful to the County's permitting authorities.

The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), RCW Chapter 43.21 C, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NON -PROJECT PROPOSALS Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered, "does not apply." In addition, complete the Supplemental Sheet for Non - Project Actions (part D).

What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed? Views from the north and west, from surrounding residential areas, would be altered slightly by construction of the taller monopole. However, these views do not include significant visual features or vistas, and are further dominated by mature coniferous vegetation. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any. The proposed PWSF extension will have little effect on the current appearance of the support structure. which will reduce the impact of the installation. Ground based equipment cabinets will be effectively screened by the existing mature landscaping in the area and the existing structure to the north of the PWSF compound area. 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? The subject PWSF currently has FAA obstruction lighting at the top of the pole. The FAA has reviewed the extension of the monopole, and determined that obstruction marking and lighting are no longer necessary, so the existing red obstruction light will be removed with construction of the tower extension. A work light will be placed within the equipment area that would be turned on only during night time site visits by maintenance personnel. The light will be screened by the existing landscaping materials and on a timer so that it will be turned off within an hour of the technician's departure from the site. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? No, the work light will not constitute a safety hazard or interfere with views. As noted above, the existing red obstruction light will be removed from the tower. c. What existing offsite sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? None. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any.

Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22-681 would allow a height extension of 15 feet above the existing facility without the need for a variance. A variance is required because the request is to increase the height by twenty (20) feet. A variance may only be granted if the criteria stated in FWCC Section 22-198 are satisfied. Findings on each of these criteria are hereby made as follows: A. The variance request will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. These types of proposals are very site specific. There are no nearby wireless monopoles. Other service providers may request extensions, but they will be on a case by case basis. Thus, no special privileges are given to this particular proposal that would not be afforded to other Page - 4 applicants. B. That the variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings of the subject property to provide it with use rights and privileges allowed to other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. Again, variance requests are on a case by case basis. Nearby trees are 75 to 80 feet in height. The applicant testified and showed graphic evidence of she need for their antennas to be 99 feet in height to provide adequate coverage. Theoretically, the antenna could be placed lower on the monopole, but coverage would be inadequate to meet the needs of the customers. The height of these antennas must be 99 feet to provide adequate signal strength to the coverage area that they desire to cover. Coverage is not good in this area. The facility will help with that problem. The site is already being used by two (2) other providers. It is much better to consolidate and co -locate antennas on existing locations rather than constructing new monopoles. This area is surrounded by residential uses. Therefore, other nearby areas to construct a monopole are very limited. C. That granting the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. Extending the tower height by 20 feet will have no detrimental effect on the public. In fact, it will provide much needed cellular phone service. The height of the surrounding trees shields the monopole. Although increasing 20 feet will mean that the monopole will be seen by more peopie, it is aairiy miniln`al increase froni what wouid be outright allowed. A 15-feet extension would be outright allowed. This is only adding an additional five (5) feet to that. D. That the special circumstances of the subject property are not the results of the actions of the owner of the subject property. The applicant has no control over the height needed for the other providers. The reason that the height has to be 120 feet is because Verizon Wireless is required to have a 10-foot separation between their antennas and other co -location antennas. The applicant also needs the height of their antennas to be at least 99 feet. Given those restrictions Page - 5 they need an increase of 20 feet. 8. The applicant is also subject to the Process IV decisional criteria contained in FWCC Section 22-445 (c). Findings on each of these criteria are as follows: It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. This area is zoned RM3600 and consists of mainly residential uses. This particular monopole is already located on the property. It is much better to co -locate another provider on an existing monopole than it is to potentially construct another one in another area. Given the adequate screening, an additional 20 feet in height will not be adverse to this area and will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Chapter and all other applicable laws. This proposal would be outright permitted if the extension was only 15 feet. Adding an additional 5 feet triggers the necessity of a variance. The variance criteria are satisfied. All other code requirements are going to have to be satisfied by the applicant. 3. It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare. Allowing the co -location of T-Mobile will provide increased coverage for cellular service. It will be an overall benefit to the public welfare. 4. The streets and utilities in the area of the subject property are adequate to serve the anticipated demand from the proposal. These cellular towers are unmanned and are only serviced on periodic occasions. The current access roads are adequate to meet this need. 5. The proposed access to the subject property is at the optimal location of configuration for access. The current facility is accessed from Oakland Hills Blvd. This has previously been approved. Adding this carrier will not cause any additional problems. Requiring any other access would actually create issues that were not present before. Page - 6 IV. CONCLUSIONS From the foregoing findings the Hearing Examiner makes the following conclusions: 1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented by this request. 2. The applicant has shown that the request for the variance to allow the extension of an existing 100-foot monopole to a total height of 120 feet satisfies the variance criteria set forth in FWCC Section 42-198 and the Process IV criteria specified in FWCC Section 22-445(c) and, therefore, should be approved subject to satisfying all City of Federal Way requirements.

Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner File No. 06-101587-00-UP/Doc I D 38607 T-Mobile Kitt's Corner Tower Extension/Height Extension Variance Request Page 3 Additionally, the City must find the Process IV decisional criteria of FWCC Section 22-445(c)(1-5) are met. III. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED VARIANCE REQUEST The applicant has requested a variance from the 15-foot maximum collocation height extension of existing personal wireless facilities as regulated by Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Section 22- 681 (Exhibit A & B). Variances from provisions of FWCC Chapter 22 are subject to Process IV, Hearing Examiner Decision. The applicant proposes to construct a 20-foot extension of an existing 100-foot monopole support structure (to a total height of 120 feet) and add six T-Mobile antennas at the 99-foot mark. IV. HISTORY AND BACKGROUND The applicant has requested a variance to the 15-foot maximum height addition allowance in a Residential Multi -family 3600 (RM3600) zoning district. FWCC Section 22-681 allows a maximum collocation height allowance of 15 feet above an existing facility. The subject property is a 62.74-acre developed manufactured home park that is located at 2101 South 3241h Street (Exhibit C). The tower extension would occur at the southeast corner of the aforementioned lot abutting Interstate 5. The Personal Wireless Service Facility (PWSF) is an allowed use under FWCC Section 22-681. On March 31, 2006, a Land Use Process III (UP3) was submitted to the City of Federal Way for the installation of a 15-foot extension to the existing monopole support structure at which time was thought to be 105 feet tall. On June 23, 2006, a building permit was submitted for the attachment of the support structure attachment. Upon review of the submitted UP3, it was discovered that the existing monopole support structure was actually 100 feet tall. Therefore, the applicant resubmitted the proposal as a Land Use Process IV (UP4) Variance process on June 27, 2006, concurrently with a State Enviromnental Policy Act (SEPA) Checklist. As mentioned previously, the site houses an existing 100-foot-tall personal wireless service facility. The existing monopole is owned by Verizon Wireless, and managed by American Tower Limited Partners. Under the management agreement between these parties, Verizon requires a 10-foot separation from the tips of their antennas to the tips of any collocating carriers' antennas. Because of the required 10-foot antenna separation, there is no space between Verizon's existing antennas (existing height of 100 feet to antenna centerline) and Cingular's antennas (existing height of 80 feet to antenna centerline). There is currently a distance of approximately 14 feet between the top of Cingular's antennas and the bottom extent of Verizon's antennas. T-Mobile's antennas require a horizontal separation of five feet from Cingular's antennas to prevent interference. If placed on the existing monopole at a height that would provide the required five-foot separation from the top of Cingular's antennas, T-Mobile's antennas would be located at a height of approximately 87 feet to the bottom of the antennas (90 feet to antenna centerline; 92.5 feet to the top of the antennas). This would place T-mobile's antennas just four feet from the bottom of Verizon's antennas, which Verizon does not allow in accordance with the leasing agreement for this site. Before submitting this application, T-Mobile conducted radio "drive testing" to determine whether a lower available mounting height on the existing monopole would provide the necessary coverage Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner File No. 06-101587-00-UP/Doc. I.D. 38607 T-Mobile Kitt's Corner Tower Extension/Height Extension Variance Request Page 4 for the proposed site. As outlined in the letter from Bill Sandes (Exhibit D), T-Mobile's radio frequency engineer in charge of this site, and submitted with this application, heights of 55 feet and 75 feet were tested because these are the approximate heights that would be available for collocating T-Mobile's equipment if the existing monopole were not extended above its current height. As shown in the drive test exhibits, a height of 100 feet is the minimum height necessary to provide clearance above the surrounding vegetation and provide "residential" and "in vehicle" levels of coverage to the area around the intersection of the Pacific Highway and South 320"' Street and the South 320"'/1-5 interchange. This is important because of the proposed site's function in "off-loading" capacity from T-Mobile antenna sites in the surrounding areas and in providing "in building" coverage to areas surrounding the Pacific Highway south of South 320`h Street. V. PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT The applicant's variance request was submitted on June 27, 2006, and the application was deemed complete on July 25, 2006. Pursuant to FWCC requirements, a Notice of Application (NOA) for the variance request was published, posted, and distributed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on October 14, 2006. The City received no public comment letters in response to the notice of application. Pursuant to FWCC requirements, a Notice of Public Hearing for the variance request was published, posted, and distributed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property at least 14 days prior to the public hearing. VI. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT The granting of variances based on special circumstances are categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6)(b). However, the applicant has submitted a separate SEPA application to the City because the project does not meet the categorical exemptions of WAC 197-11-800(25)(a)(iii). VII. AGENCIES CONTACTED BY FEDERAL WAY As part of the variance request review by Federal Way staff, site visits were conducted and the proposal was circulated to the Federal Way Community Development Review Committee (CDRC), consisting of the following agencies and City departments: + Federal Way Planning Division Federal Way Building Division • Federal Way Public Works Department CDRC comments have been incorporated into this report where applicable. Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner File No. 06-101587-00-UP/Doc 1.D. 38607 T-Mobile Kitt's Comer Tower Extension/Height Extension Variance Request Page 5 VIII. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS The RM3600 zoned subject property is a 62.74-acre developed manufactured home park that is located at 2101 South 324"' Street. The proposed development will occur on an existing personal wireless service facility situated in the furthest south southeast corner of the subject property (property features a peninsula shaped property border). The existing structure is media] to 20 Avenue South (to the west) & Interstate 5 (to the east). There are 75'+ tall coniferous trees that adequately screen the existing structure from both 24`t' Avenue South & Interstate 5. Adjacent to the project location are vacant lots zoned RM3600 to the east along 24"' Avenue South. Currently, the site contains adequate screening and landscaping of existing ground -level electrical cabinets and equipment housing. One single-family manufactured home resides approximately 40 feet north of the existing monopole. IX. HEARING EXAMINER VARIANCE CRITERIA REQUIRED BY FWCC SECTION 22-198 The applicant has requested a variance to the 15-foot maximum height addition allowance in a Residential Multi -family 3600 (RM3600) zoning district. FWCC Section 22-681 allows a maximum collocation height allowance of 15 feet above an existing facility. The Hearing Examiner may approve the variance request only if all four variance decisional criteria of FWCC Section 22-198 are met. The applicant has the burden of proof of convincing the Hearing Examiner that the applicant is entitled to the requested decision. The applicant provided a written response that discusses the variance decisional criteria relative to the proposal (Exhibit E). The criteria and the City's response is provided in the following sections: "The variance request will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located." City Response The City conducted an analysis of improvements in the same zoning district and vicinity of the subject property, and the analysis resulted in a conclusion that approval of the variance would not be a grant of special privilege inconsistent with nearby multi -family residential properties as there are no nearby personal wireless service facilities nor have there been applications submitted for personal wireless service facilities on nearby sites. The proposed extension of the existing tower is allowed in the RM zone on a case -by -case basis in accordance with the provisions of FWCC 22-681. As such, the variance will not grant T-Mobile any special privileges inconsistent with the existing uses or uses which can be established in the area. Other cellular providers may request a variance to extend support structures and locate antennas on other existing structures within this zone. Thus, granting the variance would not grant a special privilege to T-Mobile that is not available to other providers of wireless service. FWCC 22-681 provides a specific procedure to allow the extension of the existing PWSF by more than 15 feet. The request is not a request for grant of a special privilege. 2. "That the variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings of the subject property to provide it with Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner File No. 06-101587-00-UP/Doc I.D. 38607 T-Mobile Kitts Comer Tower Ex tension/Height Extension Variance Request Page 6 use rights and privileges allowed to other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located." City Response The variance is necessary because of special circumstances imposed by the height of existing trees, existing zoning and land uses, and radio frequency physics. Due to these circumstances the use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity would be denied to this property without the variance. As stated in the Radio Frequency Engineer Site Analysis, height of the existing trees requires the proposed height to provide clearance in the area surrounding the site. As shown on the map (Exhibit F), T-Mobile currently has three PWSFs within a mile of the subject site. Of these three PWSFs, one is located within the City limits of Federal Way, on a BPA tower (SE4014 Ross Plaza); the other two are located outside the City limits, and on the east side of I-5. The location of the proposed facility is determined by its relationship with other existing T-Mobile sites, and its function within T-Mobile's network. In order to serve both of the intended functions of this site, the proposed antennas must be located near the highway, AND have sufficient height above the surrounding vegetation to provide adequate signal strength to the area west of the site. As shown in the drive test exhibits submitted with this application, 100 feet is the minimum height necessary to provide "residential" and "in vehicle" levels of coverage extending to the intersection of the Pacific Highway and South 320`h Street and the South 320`h/I-5 interchange. This is important because of the proposed site's function in "off-loading" capacity from existing T-Mobile antenna sites in the area. In addition, the proposed height is necessary to provide in building coverage to areas surrounding the Pacific Highway south of South 320`h Street. Based on the radio frequency data submitted with this application (Exhibit G), the requested variance is the minimum necessary relief for meeting the dual coverage objectives of the subject site. The subject site and surrounding area within one-half mile of the site are zoned for residential development. Under current provisions of the PWSF code (FWCC 22-681 and FWC 22-967), the only type of new facility that could be developed in this vicinity would consist of extending antennas above a private building or a utility pole within the right-of-way by no more than 15 feet. The tree cover in this vicinity exceeds 75-80 feet in much of the area, which, as shown in the drive test exhibits, provides significant obstruction of T-Mobil.e's signal in the area. Using existing utility poles or low rise buildings to support a 15-foot antenna extension would not provide adequate height for T-Mobile's antennas to provide adequate levels of coverage with respect to other T-Mobile sites in the surrounding area. 3. "That granting the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located." City Response Extending the existing 100-foot tower by 20 feet will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties in the vicinity. Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner File No. 06-101587-00-UP/Doc I.D. 38607 T-Mobile Kitt's Corner Tower Extension/Height Extension Variance Request Page 7 RF emissions and exposure are well below FCC regulatory levels (Exhibit H). Furthermore, all activity related to the construction of the extension will follow all applicable building and electrical codes due to permitting requirements set forth by the City of Federal Way. Extending the existing tower by 20 feet (rather than 15 feet as allowed by Code) will result in a deviation of less than 1 percent of the total allowed height, and will have relatively little visual impact (Exhibit I). (5 feet /120 feet) versus (5 feet /115 feet) = 4.34 % height increase versus a 4.16 % height increase. There would be little apparent change in the appearance of the PWSF resulting from the proposed extension of the tower. The equipment compound is heavily landscaped and fenced, and the proposed equipment would be hidden from view. The one other positive feature of the proposed extension is that an existing red obstruction light would be removed from the top of the tower, as the FAA has determined that it is no longer needed at this location. Visually, the granting of this variance would be dramatically less visually intrusive than a new standalone personal wireless service facility. 4. "That the special circumstances of the subject property are not the result of the actions of the owner of the subject property." City Response T-Mobile, the applicant in this case, is the wireless service provider that would be most affected by a contractual restriction that affects the subject tower. The special circumstances that affect this tower were not self-induced by actions of the applicant. Rather, the following factors have combined in such a way that there is no other location available in this vicinity for T-Mobile to install antennas that would provide functional service in its network without constructing a new personal wireless service facility: Tree cover in the vicinity that is an average of 75-80 feet in much of the area, which blocks radio signals and requires that T-Mobile position its antennas at a height of at least 99 feet in order for them to function with other T-Mobile sites, as demonstrated in the drive test data submitted by the RF engineer; The antenna separation restriction imposed on this tower; and the position of other antennas above and below the height that T-Mobile requires for its antennas to function. As stated in the letter from American Tower Corporation (Exhibit J), which manages the subject site, the existing tower is subject to a restriction imposed by the owner of the tower, AirTouch Wireless (now dba Verizon Wireless), and not the subject property's owner, Belmore Holdings LTD (Exhibit K) of which the property is being ]eased from. Verizon Wireless has reserved the top position of the subject tower, and maintains a mandatory separation distance of ten (10) feet between its antennas and the closest extent of any other antennas that are co -located on the tower, in order to avoid potential interference issues. In order for T-Mobile's antennas to meet the coverage objective for the proposed site, they must be located no lower than the 99-foot centerline that is being requested with this application. A lower height, as demonstrated in the radio frequency drive test maps, will not provide sufficient clearance above the surrounding vegetation to provide connections to surrounding T-Mobile sites. X. HEARING EXAMINER PROCESS IV DECISIONAL CRITERIA The Hearing Examiner may, after consideration of the entire matter on record, issue a decision with or without conditions, or a denial, pursuant to the FWCC. FWCC Section 22-445(c) contains five Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner File No_ 06-101587-00-UP/Doc 1 D. 386M T-Mobile Kitt's Corner Tower Extension/Height Extension Variance Request Page 8 decisional criteria that are used by the Hearing Examiner during Process N review. The decisional criteria and staff response follow: 1. "It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan." City Response The City of Federal Way Comprehensive Plan (FWCP) contains goals and policies to help guide the orderly growth and development of the City. The FWCP provides general policy framework as a basis for implementing regulations and other City programs such as the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The subject lot is designated as Residential Multi -family — High -Density by the FWCP, and zoned RM3600 — Multi -family Residential. An applicable policy in the FWCP Housing Chapter is as follows: Multiple Family Goal LUP24 Use design and performance standards for multiple family developments to achieve integration in commercial developments. Performance standards should focus on scale, appearance, and compatibility. The applicant is proposing to use an existing personal wireless facility and incorporate an additional 20'. Existing vegetation and landscaping effectively screens and integrates the new addition into existing conditions and will deter the incorporation of new personal wireless facilities in other parts of the City. "It is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Chapter and all other applicable laws." City Response Upon review of the proposal, City departments and other consulted agencies offered no objections to the proposed variance in relation to applicable development codes and regulations. With the exception of the variance, if approved, all development on the subject property must comply with all other development standards and code requirements. 3. "It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare." City Response Upon review of the proposal, City departments and other consulted agencies offered no objections to the proposed variance in relation to all applicable development codes and regulations. As such, the granting of the requested variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone. 4. "The streets and utilities in the area of the subject property are adequate to serve the anticipated demand from the proposal." City Response The subject lot fronts on Oakland Hills Blvd, which is a private internal roadway serving the manufactured home park residences. The capacity of Oakland Hills Blvd and the street Staff Report to the Federal Way Hearing Examiner File No. 06-101587-00-UP/nog I R 38607 T-Mobile Kitt's Corner Tower Extension/Height Extension Variance Request Page 9 network in the vicinity is sufficient to accommodate the demand from a personal wireless service facility. Although the proposed facility will not require water or sewer services, water and sewer services is provided to the site by Lakehaven Utility District. 5. "The proposed access to the subject property is at the optimal location of configuration for access." City Response Access to the site is from Oakland Hills Blvd. The location of the access point along the lot frontage was previously reviewed for compliance with King County code requirements in conjunction with review and approval of the site plan that has been approved for the existing manufactured home park. The height extension variance, if approved, would not result in any modification to the access to the personal wireless service facility. XI. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS Based on an analysis of the proposed action and related decisional criteria, the Department of Community Development finds that: 1. The FWCP designation of the site is Multi -family Residential — High -Density. Zoning of the site is Multi -family Residential 3600 (RM3600). A personal wireless service facility is a permitted use within the RM3600 zone pursuant to FWCC Section 22-681. 2. The applicant has submitted and the City has approved a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. The City has issued a Determination of Nonsignificance. 3. The City has conducted an analysis of the required decisional criteria for the 20-foot extension of existing personal wireless facility variance request. The City finds that the required decisional criteria of FWCC Sections 22-198(2) and 22-198(4) are met as identified in Section IX of this staff report. The analysis of the variance decision criteria in FWCC Sections 22-198 and 22-445 is hereby incorporated by reference as though set forth in full. XII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the variance application and pertinent decisional criteria, the Department of Community Development Services recommends approval of the 20-foot extension of personal wireless service facility variance request.

Location: 2101 S 324`h Street, Federal Way WA Date: March 17, 2006 T-Mobile Site Selection Overview Wireless systems are expanded or introduced in a given area to improve service to customers. There are typically three reasons to add a new facility: extending coverage to new areas, increasing the capacity of the system within the current service area, or improving quality. Some sites do all three. Coverage: Coverage can be defined as having a certain level of signal strength in a particular area. T-Mobile's target is to provide —76dBm of signal strength to our customers in all areas. This level of coverage guarantees reliable signal strength inside buildings to provide excellent voice quality in residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. In today's competitive marketplace, T-Mobile requires adequate coverage to be competitive and to fulfill our responsibilities under our FCC license. Existing and proposed coverage is demonstrated by use of propagation maps and drive test data. The propagation maps are computer simulations of wireless signal coverage in a given area. One map shows the predicted coverage as it exists without the proposed facility. The other map shows predicted coverage with the proposed facility in place. Propagation maps showing RF coverage in the subject service area with and without the proposed antennas are included as Attachments lA and 1B. "Receive call" quality (Rx Qual) is another method for predicting the effectiveness of a proposed location. In this particular case, we felt it necessary to demonstrate that the proposed monopole extension is supported by the evidence submitted with this application. This testing is done with a "drive test" of the area. The results of the drive test are represented in Attachments 2A, 2B, and 2C. A drive test is performed by placing a crane -mounted radio transmitting device at the height proposed in the pending application, and detecting the strength of the transmitted signal in automobiles that are equipped with radio receiving devices. Additional information regarding the drive test data for this site is summarized later in this letter. Capacity: Capacity is the number of calls that can be handled by a particular antenna site.

The subject property is a 62.4-acre tract zoned RM 3600 (multi family residential, 3600 square feet per unit), and developed with a mobile home park The project would consist of constructing a 20-foot extension on an existing 100-foot monopole support stricture (to a total height of 120 feet) and the addition of six (6) T-Mobile antennas at a height of 99 feet (antenna centerline). Existing Verizon antennas at the top of the monopole would be relocated to take the top position of the extended support structure. Pro iect —ascription The subject property is located within the area necessary for the proposed wireless facility to be technologically feasible, and the existing monopole was selected specifically because of the opportunity to collocate rather than construct a new facility. However, the following limitations on the existing monopole necessitate an increase in overall height of the pole, from 100 feet tol20 feet. The necessary criteria for granting a variance, as outlined in Federal Way City Code (FWCC) 22-198, are addressed later in this letter. The existing monopole is owned by Verizon Wireless, and managed by American Tower Limited Partners. Under the management agreement between these parties, Verizon i-equires a 10 foot separation from the tips of their 2O8 WESTLAKE AVENUE N SEATTLE WA 98109 rEL. - rAx. 206•+19d•:$S39 I I i IE4014 Ross PI: MWE 5 Trinity Broadcast Imp /I IMM"Am T ®. 1 .® 7.XHIBIT �'AGE�0F Radio Fre uencv En ineer Site Analvsis T-Mobile Project No.: SE4018A Project Name: Kitts Corner Project Description: extend existing 145 foot monopole to a total height of 120 feet, and add 6 T-Mobile antennas at the 100 foot level.

Re: Request for approval of a Process IV application to allow a 20 foot extension of an existing 100 foot monopole support structure and the addition of six (6) T-Mobile antennas at 2101 S 324h Street (APN 1621049037) Dear Permitting Authorities; This letter is being submitted to provide background information regarding T-Mobile's request for approval to expand an existing personal wireless services facility (PWSF) tower located on property at 2101 S 324"' Street in the City of Federal Way (APN 1621049037). American Tower manages the subject PWSF and hundreds of other towers and antenna locations through a nationwide sublease agreement executed by American Tower Delaware Corporation, and AirTouch Communications, Inc. (d/b/a Verizon Wireless), on January 19, 2000. Under the terms of this agreement, Verizon Wireless has reserved the top position of the subject tower, and maintains a mandatory separation distance of ten (10) feet between its antennas and the closest extent of any other antennas that are co -located on the tower, in order to avoid potential interference issues. As shown on the plans submitted with T-Mobile's application, under the current proposal, which includes a 20 foot extension of the existing tower, the top of T-Mobile's proposed antennas would be located at a height of 101 feet, 4 inches above ground level_ The bottom of Verizon's existing antennas would be at a height of 113 feet above ground level, resulting in a separation, from tip of antenna to tip of antenna, of 11 feet, 8 inches. Reducing the pole extension to comply -with the City's limit of a 15 foot extension would reduce this separation to approximately 6 feet, 8 inches, which is not allowable under the terms of the American Tower/AirTouch sublease agreement. If additional information regarding American Tower's management of the tower site or the American Tower / AirTouch sublease agreement is needed, please call.

The proposed site is zoned Multi -Family Residential (RM 3600). The proposal was to extend an existing 105-foot-tall monopole owned by Verizon Wireless by 15 feet, for a total height of 120 feet. However, during the review, we noticed a discrepancy in that Sheet A-2 of the plans shows a 25-foot extension, which surpasses the allowable 15-foot extension limit. Then, in your email of May 10, 2006, you have stated the following: Dear Mr. Bergsagel: This is to confirm our phone conversation of earlier today regarding the above captioned project. As I stated, we just received the structural report for this site from American Tower Corp., who owns the tower. According to the structural report, the top of the existing monopole has a height of 100 feet. In order to meet the required 10 foot clearances between T-Mobile's antennas and those of Verizon wireless, an extension of 20 feet, to a height of 120 feet is required. When we prepared our architectural drawings, we showed a height of 105 feet to the top of the existing monopole. This was in error. We mistook the current height to the top of antennas as the height to the top of the pole. Per our discussion, we will need to submit an application for variance in order to construct a 20 foot extension rather than a 15 foot extension. It is my understanding, per Article 2 Div 8 that this is a Process IV application that will require review and approval by the Hearing Examiner. There is a fee differential of close to $1000 for the process IV application. Would it be correct to say that we can pay the difference in fees between the Process III and Process IV, or is it preferable to pay the full Process IV amount and process a refund of some sort? If you could provide me with some guidance on the fee situation, I would appreciate it. In addition, I will submit an application addressing the required variance criteria and additional corrected site plans for your review. I will also supply additional stamped envelopes for the additional required mailings. If I misunderstand the requirements, please advise. Sincerely, Madeline Chaney The zoning chart in FWCC 122-681 for a PWSF in an RM zone states that the review process used in this situation will be "variance process pursuant to Article II, Division 8," if "The PWSF is collocated on an existing PWSF and is more than 15 feet above the existing facility." The fees for your updated proposal will be $3,510 for Process IV, plus $843.50 for SEPA review. Since your project will no longer be considered a Process III, please pay for the difference in fees. Ms. Chaney May 31, 2006 Page 2 Therefore, we will hold off on preparing the Notice of Land Use Application and environmental determination, until you provide the additional materials and updated plans for the Process IV application. Please provide a written letter addressing the variance criteria (FWCC 22-198). If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at 253-835-2644 or andy.bergsagel@cityoffederalway.com.

March 17, 2006 Permitting Authorities City of Federal Way Department of Community Development Services 33325 8"' Ave. South Federal Way WA 98063 Re: Request for approval of a Process III application to allow 15 foot extension of an existing 105 foot monopole support structure and the addition of six (6) T- Mobile antennas at 2101 S 324`}' Street (APN 1621049037) Dear Permitting Authorities; This letter, along with an environmental checklist, site development plans, and other required documentation are being submitted in support of a request for approval to expand an existing personal wireless services facility (PWSF) located on property located at 2101 S 324"' Street (APN 1621049037). The subject property is a 62.4 acre tract zoned RM 3600 (multi family residential, 3600 square feet per unit), and developed with a mobile home park. The project would consist of constructing a 15 foot extension on an existing 105 foot monopole support structure (to a total height of 120 feet) and the addition of six (6) T-Mobile antennas at a height of 101 feet, 8 inches. Existing Verizon antennas at the top of the monopole would be relocated to take the top position of the extended support structure. Proeect Description Because the subject property falls within the area necessary for the proposed wireless facility to be technologically feasible, it was selected specifically because of the collocation opportunity. However, the following limitations on the existing monopole necessitate an increase in overall height of the pole. The existing monopole is owned by Verizon Wireless, and managed by American Tower Limited Partners. Under the management agreement between these parties, Verizon requires a 10 foot separation from the tips of their antennas to the tips of any collocating carriers' antennas. Because of the required 10-foot antenna separation, there is no space between Verizon's existing antennas (existing height of 100 feet to antenna centerline)and Cingular's antennas (existing height of 80 feet to antenna centerline). As 208 WESTLAKE AVENUE N SEATTLE WA 98109 TEL. - = FAX. 206.490.3839 illustrated in Attachment 1 of this letter, there is currently a distance of approximately 14 feet between the top of Cingular's antennas and the bottom extent of Verizon's antennas. T-Mobile's antennas require a horizontal separation of 5 feet from Cingular's antennas to prevent interference. If placed on the existing monopole at a height that would provide the required 5 foot separation from the top of Cingular's antennas, T-Mobile's antennas would be located at a height of approximately 87 feet to the bottom of the antennas (90 feet to antenna centerline; 92 1/2 feet to the top of the antennas). This would place T-Mobile's antennas just 4 feet from the bottom of Verizon's antennas, which Verizon does not allow in accordance with the leasing agreement for this site. Before submitting this application, T-Mobile conducted radio "drive testing" to determine whether a lower available mounting height on the existing monopole would provide the necessary coverage for the proposed site. As outlined in the letter from Bill Sandes, T-Mobile's radio frequency engineer in charge of this site, and submitted with this application, heights of 55 feet and 75 feet were tested because these are the approximate heights that would be available for collocating T-Mobile's equipment if the existing monopole were not extended above its current height. As shown in the drive test exhibits, a height of 100 ,feet is the minimum height necessary to provide clearance above the surrounding vegetation and provide "residential" and "in vehicle" levels of coverage to the area around the intersection of the Pacific Highway and S. 320th Street and the S. 320t" /I-5 interchange. This is important because of the proposed site's function in "off-loading" capacity from T-Mobile antenna sites in the surrounding areas and in providing "in building" coverage to areas surrounding the Pacific Highway south of S. 320th Street. Priority o#' Location Criteria The proposed site is subject to the development standards iterated in Federal Way City Code (FWCC) Sections 22-966 and 22-967, and must meet the decision criteria as specified by FWCC 22-395. The proposed site's conformance with the development standards and decision criteria is discussed in detail below. The locations of Personal Wireless Services Facilities are regulated through the priority of location criteria outlined in FWCC Section 22-966 (d). Specifically: (d) Prioritized locations. The following sites shall be the required order of locations for proposed PWSFs, including antenna and equipment shelters. In proposing a PWSF in a particular location, the applicant shall analyze the feasibility of locating the proposed PWSF in each of the higher priority locations and document, to the city's satisfaction, why locating the PWSF in each higher priority location Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 2 of 13 and/or zone is not being proposed. In order of preference, the prioritized locations for PWSFs are as follows: (1) Structures located in the BPA trail.... Response: T-Mobile currently has two existing facilities located on BPA transmission towers within a mile of the subject site. T-Mobile site SE4010, SETAC Mall is composed of T-Mobile antennas at the 187 foot level on a BPA tower located at the northeast quadrant of the I-5/320th Street interchange, and SE4014, Ross Plaza, at the 55 foot level on a BPA tower at the southwest quadrant of the Pacific Highway and S. 324th Street. In fact, the proposed facility is designed to provide additional radio capacity to serve the area around the interchange and the mall because SE4010 is nearing the limits of its design capacity. In addition to providing capacity, the proposed site is also designed to provide improved coverage to underserved residential areas south of S. 32011' Street. (2) Existing broadcast, relay and transmission towers. A PWSF may be located on an existing site or tower where a legal wireless telecommunication facility is currently located regardless of underlying zoning. If an existing site or tower is located within a one mile radius of a proposed PWSF location, the applicant shall document why collocation on the existing site or tower is not being proposed, regardless of whether the existing site or tower is located within the jurisdiction of the city. Response: nse• This proposal meets the City of Federal Way's second highest priority by locating on an existing monopole. Submitted with this application, and labeled as Attachment 2, is a map showing the subject site and the area extending for a one mile radius around the subject site. As can be seen in this exhibit, there are four existing PWSFs within a one mile radius of the subject site. T-Mobile is collocated on three of the four facilities (SE4010 SETAC Mall and SE4014, Ross Plaza on BPA towers, and SE4680 New Life, a collocated monopole). There is one additional broadcast tower with potential for collocation within the one mile radius; it is owned by Trinity Broadcasting, and is located at 1909 S 341 st St. Trinity denied T-Mobile's request for collocation on this tower. Development Standards In addition to the priority of location criteria specified by FWCC 22-966 (d), the proposed site is subject to the requirements specified by FWCC 22-967 (1), Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 3 of 13 Development Standards. Specific conformance with these standards is addressed in detail below. The following development standards shall be followed in the design, siting, and construction of a personal wireless service facility: (1) Building- or structure -mounted PWSFs not located in the public right-of-way. PWSFs mounted on existing buildings and structures not located in a public right-of-way shall conform to the following development standards: a. The PWSF shall consist only of the following types of facilities: 1. A microcell or a minor facility; or Response: The proposed facility exceeds the threshold for a minor facility, because six (6), rather than three antennas are proposed. 2. A PWSF that exceeds the minor facility thresholds for number of antennas, dimensions, and/or area, but creates no more adverse impacts than a minor facility, as determined by the director of community development services, subject to meeting all of the following standards: i. The facility shall not create substantially more adverse visual impact than a minor facility; and ii. The equipment cabinet for the PWSF shall meet all requirements of subsection (5) of this section; and iii. The maximum size of the PWSF panels and number of antennas shall be determined by the director of community development services, based on the specific project location, surrounding environment, and potential visual impacts; and iv. The PWSF shall comply with all other applicable standards of the Federal Way City Code. Response: The proposed facility exceeds minor facility thresholds, as defined, due to the number and size of antennas proposed and the size of equipment. The proposed antennas have a height of 56 inches, thus exceeding the height limit of 4 feet for a minor facility by 8 inches. However, the total area of each antenna is 448 square inches; less than the allowable 580 square inches. T-Mobile's proposed equipment cabinets have overall heights of 6 feet 4 inches and 7 feet. T-Mobile requests a variance to allow this deviation in overall cabinet height. As shown on submitted plans and photographs, the existing landscaping areas surround the existing American Tower PWSF equipment area are 20 feet wide on the north and west, and Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 4 of 13 approximately 15 feet on the south. The planting areas are quite dense, exceeding the standard for Level 2 landscaping?? and are dominated by conifers of approximately 20-25 feet in height. In addition, the subject site is adjoined on the north by a large garage/repair facility for the mobile home park that completely screens T-Mobile's proposed equipment area from view of residences to the north. In addition to a dense 15 foot wide buffer of mature vegetation on the south side of the existing equipment area, Verizon's equipment crosses the southern part of the equipment compound. The shelter has an east west dimension of 25 feet, and a height of approximately 12 feet above grade. The shelter will also serve as a substantial visual barrier on the south, completely screening the view of T-Mobile's ground based equipment from residences or rights of way to the south. In regard to the Planning Director's approval of the proposed structure extension and the number of antennas allowed at the subject site, the proposal conforms with the spirit and intent of FWCC 22-966 and 22- 967. The subject American Tower facility has existed at this location since the mid 1990's. As such, residents and the traveling public have become used to seeing the existing facility. Extending the existing facility by approximately 15 feet (or increasing the existing height by 14 percent) in this area, and adding an antenna array with an appearance similar to the other arrays on this facility will have a lesser visual impact than construction of a new PWSF. b. The combined antennas and supporting structure may extend up to, but not exceed, 15 feet above the existing or proposed roof or other structure regardless of whether the existing structure is in conformance with the existing maximum height of the underlying zone as outlined in the use zone charts, Article XI of this chapter, District Regulations. Antennas may be mounted to rooftop appurtenances provided they do not extend beyond 15 feet above the roof proper. Response: The proposed monopole extension will consist of removing the top 5 feet of the existing monopole structure and slipping a 25 foot extension over the existing structure. There will be an overlap of approximately 5 feet of the new section over the top of the existing structure, resulting in an overall increase in height of 15 feet above the existing height of 105 feet; a total height of 120 feet. The extension of the existing monopole by an increment of 15 feet would be allowed through approval of a Process III land use approval in accordance with the provisions of FWCC 22-681, 2 a (1) relative to PWSFs in multifamily residential (RM) zoning districts. Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 5 of 13 c. The antennas are mounted on the building or structure such that they are located and designed to minimize visual and aesthetic impacts to surrounding land uses and structures and shall, to the greatest extent practical, blend into the existing environment pursuant to subsection (4) of this section. Panel and parabolic antennas shall be screened from residential views and public rights -of -way unless meeting the provision of FWCC 22-960(b)(2). Response: The proposed facility matches the antenna profiles of the existing facility's other carriers and thus will blend into the existing environment. FWCC 22- 960(b)(2) is appropriately met as the proposed antennas are factory painted a light Washington Sky Gray. Furthermore, due to the height of the existing tower, surrounding tall trees, mature landscaping, and existing wall structures to the north and south of the existing PWSF equipment area, the proposed facility is adequately screened from residential views and public rights -of - way. (2) PWSFs located on structures within appropriate public rights -of -way... Response' Not applicable to this request. (3) New freestanding PWSFs.... Response: Not applicable to this request. (4) Screening standards for all PWSFs. PWSFs shall be screened or camouflaged through employing the best available technology and design, as determined by the city. This may be accomplished by use of compatible materials, location, landscaping, color, stealth techniques such as, but not limited to, artificial trees and hollow flag poles, and/or other methods or techniques to achieve minimum visibility of the facility as viewed from public streets or residential properties. In addition, the provisions for landscaping as outlined in the use zone charts, Article XI of this chapter, District Regulations, shall apply. Response: As noted above and indicated on submitted plans, the proposed antennas will be similar in appearance to those that are already collocated on the existing monopole support structure. The height of the existing tower, the surrounding tall trees, mature landscaping, and existing wall structures to the north and south of Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 6 of 13 the existing PWSF equipment area, will all screen the various components of the extended facility from residential views and public rights -of -way. The existing landscape buffers on the north, west and south of the existing equipment area extending 20 feet on the north, 20 feet on the west, and 15 feet on the south exceed the minimum requirement for 5 feet of Type III landscaping specified in FWCC 22-681 for PWSFs in RM zones. (5) Standards for electronics equipment enclosures. a. The following shall be the required order of locations for proposed electronic equipment enclosures for all PWSFs. In proposing an equipment enclosure in a particular location, the applicant shall analyze the feasibility of locating the proposed equipment enclosure in each of the higher priority locations and document, to the city's satisfaction, why locating the equipment enclosure in each higher priority location is not being proposed. In requesting a lower priority location for the equipment enclosure, the burden of demonstrating impracticability shall be on the applicant. In order of preference, the prioritized locations for equipment enclosures are as follows: 1. Equipment enclosures shall be placed underground. Response: Placement of the equipment enclosure underground is impractical for the following reasons. First, it would require removal of far more existing vegetation for placement of an underground vault than would be the case for the above ground equipment layout as shown on submitted plans. As proposed, one existing shrub (no trees) would be removed for placement of T-Mobile's 8 foot x 12 foot (96 square foot) equipment pad. In order to provide adequate air circulation to an enclosed vault, a much larger excavation (approximately 20 feet x 12 feet) is required, which would necessitate removal of some of the existing mature trees. 2. Equipment enclosures shall be placed in an existing completely enclosed building. Response: T-Mobile's equipment is designed for outdoor use, but can be placed in buildings with proper ventilation. However, there are no buildings on the site with room for placement of T-Mobile's equipment. 3. Equipment enclosures shall be placed above ground in an enclosed cabinet that shall not exceed six feet in height and occupy more than 48 square feet of floor area, including areas for maintenance or future expansion. Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 7 of 13 Response: Three cabinets, each having a footprint of approximately 2 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 6 inches, will be aligned within the equipment compound. The overall floor area occupied by the cabinets would be 18.75 square feet, well below the maximum allowable floor area. The equipment cabinets have overall heights of 6 feet 4 inches and 7 feet; T- Mobile requests a variance to allow this minor deviation in overall height, based on the substantial existing screening of the subject site. As noted above, and demonstrated in the submittal materials, surrounding tall trees, mature landscaping, and existing wall structures to the north and south of the existing PWSF equipment area, will adequately screen the proposed equipment cabinets from residential views and public rights -of -way. 4. Equipment enclosures shall be placed above ground in a new completely enclosed building. Response: Construction of a new equipment building would also require a larger footprint within the existing equipment area than the proposed equipment pad, and would likely require the removal of at least one of the large conifers in the vicinity of T-Mobile's equipment. The typical equipment shed used for T- Mobile ground based equipment has dimensions of 11 feet x 14'/z feet (159.5 square feet). This is substantially larger than the 96 square foot equipment pad being proposed, and would require the removal of at least one of the large trees on the north to accommodate the structure. b. If above -ground, equipment enclosures shall be screened with one or a combination of the following methods, which shall be acceptable to the city: Fencing, walls, landscaping, structures, buildings or topography which will block the view of the equipment enclosure to the greatest extent possible from any street and/or adjacent properties, as determined by the director of community development services. Screening may be located anywhere between the enclosure and the above mentioned viewpoints. Landscaping for the purposes of screening shall be maintained in a healthy condition, as determined by the city. Response•. As shown on submitted plans and photographs, T-Mobile's equipment would be well screened by the 15-20 foot wide buffers of existing mature vegetation on the north, east and south sides of the existing equipment area, as well as the wall of the existing buildings on the north and south sides of the compound. The existing landscaping and screening exceeds the requirements for 5 feet of Type III landscaping as specified in Article XI of FWCC 22. Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 8 of 13 (6) Additional standards for equipment enclosures for PWSFs located on structures within appropriate public rights -of -way..... Response: Not applicable to this request (7) Security fencing. a. No fence shall exceed six feet in height as stipulated in FWCC 22- 1133(5). Response' The existing fencing on the site exceeds a height of 6 feet, and will remain as part of the site's development. b. Security fencing shall be effectively screened from view through the use of appropriate landscaping materials. Response: The mix of fencing, mature vegetation, and walls on the north and south of the compound provide an effective screen of the existing equipment area and exceed the landscaping requirements specified in Article XI of FWCC 22. The addition of T-Mobile's equipment will not constitute a substantial change in the visual quality of the area. c. Chain -link fences shall be painted or coated with a nonreflective color. Response: As noted above, the existing fencing, which is not painted or coated, will remain on the subject site. The mix of fencing, mature vegetation, and walls on the north and south of the compound provide an effective screen of the existing equipment area. (8) Cumulative effects. The city shall consider the cumulative visual effects of PWSFs mounted on existing structures and/or located on a given permitted site in determining whether additional permits may be granted so as to not adversely effect the visual character of the city. Response: As demonstrated in the written materials, and the exhibits submitted with this request, the subject existing PWSF is the only location within a mile radius that will provide an appropriate location for placement of T-Mobile's antennas and equipment. T-Mobile is currently collocated on three of the, four existing structures (BPA towers and an existing monopole) within one mile of the subject site. The fourth support structure within a mile, owned by Trinity Broadcasting, is not available for collocation. Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 9 of 13 According to the letter and "drive test" exhibits provided by the RF engineer for this site, the proposed monopole extension to a height of 120 feet is necessary for the site to have connectivity with other T-Mobile sites in the area and provide service to residential and business customers in the area south of 324th Street. The monopole extension is also made necessary because of the number and position of antenna arrays already on the tower (Verizon at the top of the existing tower and Cingular at 80 feet) or proposed (Clearwire at 70 feet). Because of the requirement for 5-10 feet of horizontal space from tip of antenna to tip of antenna, there is no position available on the existing monopole for placement of T-Mobile's antennas that would provide functionality in the T-Mobile network. The existing monopole has been at this location for approximately 10 years, and a 14 percent increase in the overall height will be barely discernible from the surrounding area. There are simply no other locations, given the zoning and development patterns of the surrounding area, that provide an opportunity for placing T-Mobile's antennas that would either have less impact or provide a functional site for T-Mobile. (9) Signage. No wireless equipment shall be used for the purpose of mounting signs or message displays of any kind, except for small signs used for identification and name of provider. _Response_: As shown on submitted plans, the only signage that would be placed on the site would be radio frequency warning and site identification signs as required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). (10) Use zone charts, height and permit process. a. The final approval authority for applications made under this section shall be defined by the appropriate permit process as outlined in the use zone charts, Article XI of this chapter, District Regulations. Response: Application for a Type III land use permit are submitted, in accordance with Article XI, District Regulations. b. Allowed heights shall be established relative to appropriate process as outlined in the use zone charts, Article XI of this chapter, District Regulations. Rem The proposed PWSF support structure would conform with the height limitation established in accordance with Article XI, District Regulations. As noted above, T-Mobile is requesting a variance to allow the equipment cabinets Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 10 of 13 to exceed the 6 foot height limit for support equipment, based on the existing buffers at the site, which will provide full screening of the cabinets. Decisional Criteria for Process III Review The proposed development conforms with the Decisional Criteria for Process III Review as required by FWCC 22-395 (b) as outlined below. (b) Decisional criteria. The director of community development services shall use the criteria listed in the provision of this chapter describing the requested decision in deciding upon the application. In addition, the director of community development services may approve the application only if: (1) It is consistent with the comprehensive plan; Response: The Comprehensive Plan addresses goals, plans, and policies relative to various private utilities in Chapter 10 of the Comprehensive Plan. Recognizing that wireless systems are driven by local market demand, Chapter 10 of the Plan includes only two specific policies that relate directly to PWSFs. Conformance with those policies is addressed below. PUP17 The City should require that site -specific utility facilities such as antennas and substations be reasonably and appropriately sited and screened to mitigate adverse aesthetic impacts. PUP19 Through its development regulations, the City shall continue to address the siting, screening, and design standards for wireless/cellular facilities, substations, and antenna facilities in such a manner as to allow for reasonable and predictable review while minimizing potential land use and visual impacts on adjacent property. Response: The City's review process for siting and construction of PWSFs is relatively straightforward and predictable, and contain reasonable controls for mitigating potential adverse impacts. Extending the existing monopole by a total of 15 feet would conform with the applicable adopted regulations of FWCC 22-966 and FWCC 22-967, and would have minimal impact on surrounding properties. (2) It is consistent with all applicable provisions of this chapter; Response: As noted in detail in the foregoing documentation and the submitted plans, the proposed PWSF meets all of the location criteria and development standards as specified by FWCC 22-966 and FWCC 22-967, with the exception of 22-967 Process III Application to extend and collocate on existing PWSF T-Mobile Site SE4018, Kitts Corner Page 11 of 13 (5) a 3, relative to the size of the proposed equipment cabinets. In this case, the cabinets would have overall heights of 6 feet 9 inches and 7 feet, exceeding the height requirement by a maximum of 9 inches. T-Mobile is requesting a variance to allow this minor deviation in overall height. The existing substantial landscaping that surrounds the equipment area and building walls that adjoin it on the north and south, will provide full screening of the equipment cabinets. Furthermore, placement of the equipment on an open equipment pad will have less of an impact to the existing landscaping than would placing the equipment underground or in a shed type structure. (3) It is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare; Response: As stated in the letter from the RF engineer responsible for this site, it is important to note that one of the factors driving T-Mobile to place PWSFs in or near residential areas is to provide improved triangulation and accuracy in finding a wireless caller in distress in accordance with FCC regulations for Wireless E911 service. (4) The streets and utilities in the area of the subject property are adequate to serve the anticipated demand from the proposal; and Response: PWSFs place no demand on water, sewer, or natural gas infrastructure, and do not require trash pickup, or impact area schools. With as few as one-two trips per month, they also place no demand on transportation infrastructure. Therefore, the streets and utilities in the area of the subject property are adequate to serve the anticipated minimal demand from the proposed PWSF. (5) The proposed access to the subject property is at the optimal location and configuration. Response: Access to the subject property would remain unchanged with the addition of a 15 foot monopole extension and placement of T-Mobile's ground based equipment. In summary, T-Mobile has demonstrated, through the written materials, RF supporting documents, site plan, and graphic exhibits that the proposed monopole extension will conform with the intent and spirit of the Comprehensive Plan and applicable portions of the Federal Way City Code relative to wireless facilities.

ATTACHMENT 12 RECEIVED MAR 9 1 2006 CITY OF FEDERAL WAY BUILDING DEPT. NON -IONIZING ELECTROMAGNETIC EXPOSURE ANALYSIS ENGINEERING CERTIFICATION T 0 •Mobile• SITE NUMBER: SE4018A SITE NAME: Kitts Corner SITE ADDRESS: 2101 S 324th Street Federal Way, WA 98003 DATE: March 29, 2006 PREPARED BY: B. J. THOMAS, P.E. PROJECT The proposed T-Mobile project consists of a WCF (Wireless Communications Facility) located at 2101 S 324th Street, Federal Way, 98003, King County parcel 1621049037. The planned improvements include antennas mounted on an existing steel monopole 95' AGL, to be extended to 120' AGL with supporting BTS (Base Transmission System) radio equipment located in an existing fenced lease area at the base on the monopole. EQUIPMENT Type of Service: Broadband PCS Antennas: EMS DR-6519-02DLP2 (2 per sector) Sectors: 3 (alpha = 00, beta = 1200, gamma = 240°) Frequencies: Send (1965 Mhz - 1975 Mhz) Receive (1885 Mhz - 1895 Mhz) Maximum Power: 432 w/channel ERP (58.5 dBm/channel EIRP) Maximum Channels: 4 per sector Antenna Rad Center: 101.66' AGL CALCULATIONS Calculations for RF power densities near ground level are based on the "Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields OET Bulletin 65" Edition 97-01, August 1997 issued by the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering & Technology. Section 2 of OET Bulletin 65 demonstrates that "for a truly worst -case prediction of power density at or near the surface, such as at ground -level or on a rooftop, 100% reflection of incoming radiation can be assumed, resulting in a potential doubling of predicted field strength and a four -fold increase in (far field equivalent) power density". Therefore the following equation is used: S = EIRP/rrR2 Where S = power density (mW/cm2), EIRP = equivalent isotropically radiated power and R = distance to the center of the radiation antenna (cm) Attached as an exhibit are the MPE (Maximum Power Exposure) calculations using the above referenced formula and the antenna manufacturers product data information with dB loss data below main lobe as provided by the manufacturer. The calculations show that the maximum MPE at ground level (6' above AGL) occurs at a minor lobe angle of 67°, 40.6' from the base of the monopole and the power density is 0.000421 mW/cm2 with 4 channels operating at a total ERP of 1,726 watts. This is 0.0421 % of the MPE limit for the general population/uncontrolled exposure of 1.0 mW/cm2 as referenced in Table I OET Bulletin 65 Appendix A. EXISTING CARRIERS The following are examples of wireless carriers providing service in Western Washington: ESMR 851-866 Mhz Nextel Cellular 869-894 Mhz AT&T, Verizon PCs > 1800 Mhz Sprint, T-Mobile, Cingular Nextel facilities will have potentially higher power levels than cellular or PCs facilities. In order to develop a "worst case prediction", it is assumed that Nextel facilities are currently on the monopole verses the existing facilities (3) with maximum effective radiated power (ERP) levels of 3,000 watts per sector verses 2,000 watts or less for cellular or PCs facilities. Wireless facility antennas are highly directional and project the majority of the RF energy horizontally. Attached as an exhibit are the MPE (Maximum Power Exposure) calculations using the referenced power density formula. These calculations assume that the vertical patterns of the antennas suppress the ERP by 20dbB towards the tower base. The calculations show that the maximum total MPE at ground level (6' above AGL) at the base of the monopole is 0.009483 mW/cm2 with the existing carrier operating at a total ERP of 3,000 watts per sector. This is 1.6725% of the MPE limit for the general population/uncontrolled exposure of 0.567 mW/cm2 for the lowest Nextel frequency (851/1500) as referenced in Table I OET Bulletin 65 Appendix A. COLOCATED FACILITIES TOTAL MPE The combined MPE for the T-Mobile and existing carrier using "worst case" calculations is: 0.000421 mW/cm2 + 0.009483 mW/cm2 = 0.009904 mW/cm2 Total MPE ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION Routine environmental evaluation is required if the PCS broadband facility is less than 10 m (32.81 feet) AGL and has a total power of all channels in any given sector greater than 2,000W ERP as referenced in "Table 2 Transmitters, Facilities and Operations subject to Routine environmental Evaluation" of Bulletin 65. As the proposed antennas lowest point above ground level is 30.3 m (99.33 feet), the WCF is categorically exempt from requirement for routine environmental processing. FCC COMPLIANCE The general population/uncontrolled exposure near the monopole, including persons at ground level, surrounding properties, inside and on existing and structures will have RF exposure much lower than the "worst case" scenario, which is a small fraction of the MPE limit. Only trained persons will be allowed to climb the monopole for maintenance operations. VoiceStream and/or its contractors will provide training to make the employees fully aware of the potential for RF exposure occupational training and they can exercise control over their exposure that is within the occupational/controlled limits. CONCLUSIONS Based on calculations, the proposed WCF will comply with current FCC and county guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.
