D �� BOARD OF APPEALS V TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS The Board of Appeals held a public hearing on Tuesday evening, December 10, 1996, which public hearing was continued on January 14, 1997, and February 11, 1997, on the application of Sprint Spectrum L.P. for a Special Permit under Section 9 of the By- Law. The hearing was duly advcrtised, and all the abutters were notified. The following members were present and voting: Walter F. Soule, Acting Chairman, Robert Ford, John Pallone, Ellen McIntyre, and Scott Karpinski. TIie Petitioner seeks a Special Permit under Section 9.2 of the By-Law so as to extend a prior non-conforming use by the attachment of two antenna arrays for operating a Personal Communication System (PCS) wireless telecommunications network to the outside face of the existing structure, as well as installation of communications equipment within the existing structure, located on the west side of Boston Street known as Boston Hill in the R-2 zo.iing di.,trict. Testimony revealed that the Petitioner is the holder of a license granted by the Federal Communications Commission to construct and operate a PCS network in the area, and that a Special Permit is sought to install and use equipment in an area of approximately 16 feet by 13 feet on the second floor of the existing building located on the site and to install and use up to eight antennas located on two mounting brackets on two sides of the building. At this time, it appears that two antennas will be mounted on each location, and if demand so warrants,two additional antennas can be mounted on each structure in the future, bringing the total number of antennas on the two mounts to eight. U0 Further testimony revealed that after installation, the presence of any personnel Ob other than'for routine unspecified maintenance, will not be required. Opposition from ; O one citizen was voiced at the first public hearing, however, that opposition was withdrawn at the second public hearing. Testimony produced by the application's representatives and attorneys, and the owner, Benjamin G.Farnum,and his attorney, revealed that the site in question is used for telecommunication purposes, a non-conforming use in a residential zone, and that the site consists of approximately a 9.45 acre parcel of land with several pre-existing non- conforming buildings and structures thereon. The pre-existing non-conforming buildings include a concrete tower with a height of 84 feet with antennas thereon, and several smaller one story wood and steel structures. There are presently antenna arrays and dishes located on the building and the site owned by Mr. Farnum, and his lessees,Rollins Cablevision,NYNEX, WNEV-TV,Mitre Corporation, and North Andover Civil Defense. The land and structures in question have been the subject of at least four prior decisions of the Board. The Board granted a variance in 1957 to permit the construction of a structure exceeding the then height limitation of the By-law. The use of the site for telecommunication towers was then a permitted use in a residential zone. The present structures on the site were built in the late 1950's and were utilized for telecommunication purposes by MIT Mitre Corporation. In 1982, the Board issued a special permit to Benjamin Farnum confirming the non-conforming use of the site for telecommunication purposes, and permitting Mr. Farrium to add antenna and transmitting dishes to the existing concrete tower not to exceed a total height of 140 feet. In February, 1984,the Board allowed a special permit to WNEV-TV to extend the height of the tower and antenna by 30 feet, specifically finding that this extension was within the limits of a 25% limitation on expansions of the prior non-conforming use imposed under the By- law. In December, 1984, the Board allowed a special permit to NYNEX Mobile Conununications and Mr. Farnum, allowing NYNEX to construct an approximately 20 foot by 20 foot interior room within the existing concrete tower to house its equipment, and to attach and use five antennas on the top of the building. In approving the NYNEX special permit, the Board specifically found that"the site is in an appropriate location for the use [and] [t]he height of Boston Hill is appropriate for installation of cellular mobile equipment." Testimony was also received that as of 1972,the date upon which the existing use became non-conforming, the following, among others, was in use at the site and on the existing structure: one radar antenna support tower of 84 feet in height with a reflector antenna 120 feet wide and 30 feet in height, with a total height of the entire structure being 132 feet. The Board further received a summary of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996. This law provides that local boards cannot prohibit, or have the effect of prohibiting,the provision of personal wireless services and may not unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services. Furthermore,although the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits the board from regulating personal wireless service facilities on the basis of environmental affects of radio frequency emissions, the Petitioner produced and submitted a report by Donald L. Haes,Jr., MS, Consulting Health Physicist showing the background RF exposure in the vicinity of the tower is well within levels determined to be safe by federal and state regulations. The provisions of Section 9 of the By-law, regulating non-conforming uses, contains the following requirements: • A special permit is required in order to extend or enlarge a prior non- conforming use; • The Board must find that"such change, extension,or alteration shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing non-conforming use to the neighborhood' • `'Such change shall be permitted only upon the same lot occupied by the non-conforming use on the date that it became non-conforming"; • `'Any increase in volume, area, or extent of the non-conforming use shall not exceed an aggregate of more than 25%of the original use"; and • "no change shall be permitted which tends to lengthen the economic life of the non-conforming longer than a period reasonable for the amortization of the initial investment". Qertain members of the Board also viewed the site and the surrounding neighborhood. The Petitioner also submitted a plot plan showing the entire site. Communication was also received from the Fire.Department relating to the structure's compliance with safety regulations. At its February 11, 1997 meeting, the Board closed the public hearing, and upon proper motion, duly seconded, the Board voted to grant the special permit to Sprint Spectrum, making the following findings and conclusions: 1. The Board has the authority to grant the special permit.under the provisions of Section 9 of the Zoning Bylaw. 2. The alteration of the pre-existing structure by construction of a small room on the second floor thereof to house equipment, and the attachment of the two antenna arrays to the outside of the building, will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming use and structure. Members of the Board have viewed the existing structure and the surrounding neighborhood, were shown examples of antennas Sprint will attach, and have reviewed the engineering drawings of the proposed attachment by Sprint. In addition, there are no houses in the immediate neighborhood, and Sprint Spectrum's attachments will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood. 3. The change/alteration will be on the same lot as the pre-existing nonconforming use and structure. 4. The Board has examined the Sprint Spectrum's proposed attachment in light of the limitation of a 25% increase in the extent of the prior nonconforming use in a number of ways and using several methods of calculating the 25% limitation, and has determined that based on any of these methods of interpreting the 25% limitation, Sprint Spectrum's attachment will not exceed that threshold. For example: (a) The Petitioner provided a series of calculations of the total square footage of the four faces of building, which equals approximately 12,000 square feet. The area of the antennas already attached to the building, as well as the area of the tower structure on the roof, total approximately 1,376 square feet, or approximately 11.22% of the total area. The Petitioner antenna arrays will total - approximately 96 square feet, and bring the total antenna square footage to approximately 12% of the total area, which is less than the 25%limitation. (b) The square footage of antennas allowed and in use on the tower as of 1972 when the use became nonconforming appears to have totaled approximately 3,600 square feet. The existing antennas are calculated to total approximately 1,376 square feet,and with the addition of Sprint Spectrum's antennas, would total approximately 1,472 square feet, which is less than the extent of use permitted in 1972. Therefore, by this method of calculation,the addition of the Petitioner's antenna arrays would not even reach the baseline —established in 1972, let alone result in any increase approaching the 25%limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing,the Board is not malting any finding under §9.4 of the By-law as to whether the full extent of the 1972 non-conforming use is available to the site owner at this time. (c) The existing structure is slightly in excess of 36 feet by 36 feet. A 250.o increase in each dimension would allow the attachment of antennas to the face of the building such that the total volume of the building did not increase by more than 25%. The Petitioner's attachments, it was reported, could be accomplished within this volumetric limitation. R Based on all of these methods of calculating the 25% limitation on expansion, the Board finds that the Petitioner's proposal will not exceed the 25% limitation: At this time,the Board is not determining that there is any one required method for calculating conformity with a 25% limitation, only that the Petitioner's attachment does not exceed the limitation. 5. The economic life of the pre-existing and nonconforming use/structure will not be extended, since the building exists and will not be substantially changed. 6. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the By-law, and adequate and appropriate facilities exist for the proper operation of the proposed use. The special permit is granted upon the following conditions: 1. In the event that any of the structure/antennas herein allowed are no longer used or necessary for its stated purpose, they shall be removed by the applicant or landowner. 2. Operation of the antennas will not commence until approval by the Massachusetts Department of Health has been obtained and transmitted to the Board. 3. Construction plans showing the antennas as constructed by the Petitioner shall be submitted to the building inspector. 4. Prior to issuance of a building permit for any construction or installation l of equipment or telecommunication devices in or on the building,the Board shall be furnished with an accounting of antennas already existing on the structure identifying each unit and its owner and stating whether it is in current use and operation, which accounting shall be certified by the land owner. 5. This special permit applies to only the two antenna arrays identified in the Petition, including the 1'lgm submitted therewith. Any further installation contemplated shall require separate application to this Board for a special permit. ��CS fY/GG kut�� rJLi.✓ �'p��G jf?Jr�Iy I�T.0 IVF.�sv3YC Board of Appeals Walter F Soule, Vice Chairman %ORTH 320e t�190 ,a e1 O /O- T A S 9SSACMUSEtt i TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS BOARD OF APPEALS April 28, 1997 Robert Nicetta, Building Commissioner Building Department 146 Main Street North Andover Ma 01845 Re: Boston Hill - ZBA Decision - February 24, 1997 Dear Mr. Nicetta: To be in compliance with the ZBA decision on Boston Hill Tower held on February 24, 1997 relative to a Special Permit under Section 9 of the Zoning By Law of the Town of North Andover with regard to Condition #4 of the decision the following is required:* Based on recent deliberation, ZBA members continue to re agreed to by the owner, Ben Farnum, his Attorneys and the applicantTe,Sprint been that uthe following base line information be provided to allow the Building interpretation of "What's There?" on Boston Hill Tower, 1997.

On March 18, 1997 I hand-delivered to the Board' s office a letter containing the required certification, together with photocopies .of photographs of the tower with annotations denoting the antennas and the owners thereof . Having heard nothing from the Board thereafter, I assumed the letter and certification was satisfactory. On April 7 , 1996 I received a telephone call from Attorney Domenic Scalise who told me that he had spoken with the Building Inspectcr, Mr. Nicetta, regarding the issuance of a building permit for Sprint. Apparently, Mr. Nicetta told Attorney Scalise that the Sprint matter was on the agenda at the next Board meeting. As neither Attorney Scalise nor I had been otherwise notified of any outstanding issues, we assumed that Spring could apply for and receive a building permit forthwith. If that is not the case, I would appreciate it if you would contact me to let me know the status of this matter. Either way, please contact me and let me know if I can be of any further assistance to the Board. Ve ly yo s i f j o� e d GAR/hld cc: Domenic Scalise, Esq. John W. Wadsworth, Esq. Benjamin G.

Soule, Acting Chairman Zoning Board of Appeals Town of North Andover 146 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 RE: Boston Hill--ZBA Decision--February 24, 1997 Dear Mr. Soule: I wanted to write to you directly with information we believe fulfills condition#4 of the Special Permit issued to Sprint Spectrum to attach antennae arrays to the building located on Boston Hill. Condition#4 requires that"prior to issuance of a building permit for any construction or installation of equipment or telecommunications devices in or on the building, the Board shall be furnished with an accounting of antennas already existing on the structure identifying each unit and its owner and stating whether it is in current use and operation, which accounting shall be certified by the landowner." You had indicated that the listing of antennas and copies of photographs previously provided by the landowners, which included abbreviations and no addresses, did not fulfill the requirements of the condition. Sprint Spectrum provided the Board with color photographs of the building, with all unit owners labeled, which you indicated was satisfactory. We have been working with the landowner's attorney, and they have faxed me a copy of a letter which lists the names and addresses of all of the owners of antennas. The letter submitted by George Rand, attorney for the landowner, dated May 21, 1997, lists each of the owners of the antennas with addresses. That letter includes an explanation of several discrepancies between the text of the Special Permit and prior certifications, including that Mitre Corporation does not currently own antennas, but rather occasionally uses the site for testing purposes, and that Rollins Cablevision was acquired recently by Continental Cablevision A Partnership of Professional Corporations ONE FINANCIAL CENTER BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02111 617-856-8200 FAX:617.856-8201 Hartford I Providence Walter F.

I am enclosing five additional copies of the color photographs produced by Sprint Spectrum, identifying each of the units on the building, as you requested. P fY g g� Y q We feel that this submission, along with the information contained herein, fulfills condition#4 and that the board now has an appropriate baseline for assessing continued compliance with the requirement that any new antennas must receive a special permit prior to issuance of a building permit. You indicated that you would discuss the above with other board members prior to the next Board meeting and inform the building commissioner of whether this fulfills the terms of the condition,which would then allow the re-issuance of the building permit. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions please call as soon as possible.

As you know from attending ZBA's May 8, 1997 meeting the response to the information regarding the antennas existing on Boston Hill Tower was very positive. The Board was satisfied with those photographs detailing antenna structures. Somehow the acronyms still leave open the question asked at the first hearing in December, 1996 by Scott Karpinski: " What's There" ? M A unanimous vote at the May 8, 1997 ZBA meeting on unfinished business requires that condition #4 be met fully before any permits are issued by the Building Inspector. Fulfillment of the following is required. [Reference is made to the ZBA Decision cited above and the letter of April 28, 19971 Re #2: Accurate listing of "on-site" users.

Condition#4 requires that"prior to issuance of a building permit for any construction or installation of equipment or telecommunications devices in or on the building,the Board shall be furnished with an accounting of antennas already existing on the structure identifying each unit and its owner and stating whether it is in current use and operation,which accounting shall be certified by the landowner." You had indicated that the listing of antennas and copies of photographs previously provided by the landowners, which included abbreviations and no addresses, did not fulfill the requirements of the condition. Sprint Spectrum provided the Board with color photographs of the building, with all unit owners labeled, which you indicated was satisfactory. We have been working with the landowner's attorney, and they have faxed me a copy of a letter which lists the names and addresses of all of the owners of antennas. The letter submitted by George Rand, attorney for the landowner, dated May 21, 1997, lists each of the owners of the antennas with addresses. That letter includes an explanation of several discrepancies between the text of the Special Permit and prior certifications, including that Mitre Corporation does not currently own antennas, but rather occasionally uses the site for testing purposes, and that Rollins Cablevision was acquired recently by Continental Cablevision A Partnership of Professional Corporations ONE FINANCIAL CENTER BOSTON.MASSACHUSETTS 02111 617.856.8200 FAX:617-856-8201 Hartford/Providence i JIM Walter F.

On March 18, 1991 I hand-delivered to the Board' s office a letter containing the required certification, together with photocopies of photographs of the tower with annotations denoting the antennas and the owners thereof . Having heard nothing from the Board thereafter, I assumed the letter and certification was satisfactory. On April 7, 1996 I received a telephone call from Attorrc.y Domenic Scalise who told me that he had spoken with the Building Inspectcr, Mr. Nicetta, regarding the issuance of a building permit for Sprint. Apparently, Mr. Nicetta told Attorney Scalise that the Sprint matter was on the agenda at the next Board meeting. As neither Attorney Scalise ncr I had been otherwise notified of any outstanding issues, we assumed that Spring, could apply for and receive a building permit forthwith. If that is not the case, I would appreciate it if you would contact me to let me know the status of this matter.

SCOTT SSACHU5E Director February19 1.997 Linda A. Farnum 397 Farnum Street North Andover, MA 01845 Dear Mrs. Farnum: In reference to your letter of February 15, 1997 (received at my office on February 18th), The Zoning Board of Appeals will be forwarded the correspondence. At this time I would inform you that the Board does not frequently use precedent from prior years to determine subsequent cases. In discussing your letter with a member of the Board, the condition you referenced will become a condition on all further permits similar to your application for all applicable sites in the future. Therefore, your indication of discrimination is not valid due to the fact that the Board has not had the opportunity to determine appropriate conditions for other sites subsequent to your site. The reference to the 1984 permits are 13 years old. I would assume that in a decade the Board has the ability to have additional concerns. In reference to your request under Ch. 40A, section 7 there is nothing to enforce because the decision has not been filed and no one is in violation. Therefore, this letter will inform you that as Zoning Enforcement Officer I see no reason for action on your request. If you have issue with the decision you have two options; appeal the decision in court pursuant to Ch. 40A, Sec. 17 or file another application and request that the amendment not be placed on a superseding decision. Very truly yours, 1J D.

Town of North Andover Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 Dear Mr.Nicetta; This letter constitutes a request in writing under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A Section 7. The subject matter concerns a decision by the Board of Appeals on February 1 1,1997 that I attended as an observer. The applicant before the board was Sprint Spectrum. A condition was made requesting the applicant to prepare drawings and mark the owner of every antenna before the site could be used by Sprint. In 1982 Benjamin Farnum and Eastern Microwave et al received a special permit without any such conditions. A 1984 Special Permit granted to another wireless provider(Nynex)on the same site had no such conditions. Section 704 of the Federal Wireless Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits any action discriminating between different providers of wireless service in a particular area. Upon examination of files in the Town Hall and Building Dept.,no conditions requiring drawings labeled with antenna owners were found as a requirement for any other communications sites and/or providers in North Andover. Therefore, under The Federal Wireless Telecommunications Act of 1996, the following sites in North Andover would also have to provide the same documentation and information. A partial list of such sites in North Andover is shown below: 1. Claypit Hill - Continental Cablevision/Greater Lawrence Community Antenna Inc. et. al. 2. Russet Associates 3.

We would like any information your department could provide us with regard to Mill Hill for Commercial Communication Systems. In particular if your department has any specific issues with this site for the purpose of the use of telephone communication antennas. Please call the Zoning Office if you have any questions at 688-9541. WS/jm MEMORANDUM TO NORTH ANDOVER BOARD OF APPEALS Sprint Spectrum L.P. ("Sprint Spectrum") hereby petitions the Board of Appeals to vary the terms of the North Andover zoning by law. Specifically, Sprint Spectrum seeks to locate a wireless communications facility on the property commonly known as Boston Hill, an existing communication equipment building to provide personal communication services ("PCS"), the next generation of wireless communications technology. The site is zoned R2 residential. The construction proposed by Sprint Spectrum will include two (2) antenna arrays, each containing several panels. The proposed arrays will be slightly over 7 feet in height and will be located on the building's exterior walls. As each antenna panel weighs less than 10 lbs., there should be no structural concerns with respect to the installation. The related equipment, consisting of refrigerator sized cabinets, will be located on the second floor of the building and will not be visible from any surrounding property. Once the antennae and equipment are installed, the facility will be automatic and unmanned, requiring infrequent visits (approximately once or twice per month) by maintenance personnel. The only utilities required will be ordinary 120/240 volt electrical power as well as telephone service; no water, sewer, or other municipal services will be required. The proposed site for this facility presently houses several other wireless carriers. Sprint Spectrum L.P. has carefully located its antennae so as not to interfere with other users. Wireless communications facilities are not among the uses allowed by right or special permit in the R2 zoning district as set forth in Section 4.121 of the By-Law. However, the tower building is occupied by a number of other wireless communications facilities. For the reasons set forth below, a Special Permit may be granted for Sprint Spectrum's proposed use to extend the existing non-conforming use. This proposal conforms to the requirements of the by-law, Sections 9.2 Non-Conforming Uses, Alteration or Extension and 10.3 1, Conditions for Approval of Special Permit. 9.2 Alteration or Extension 2. Such change shall only be permitted only upon the same lot occupied by the non-conforming use on the date that it became non-conforming. The lot upon which the tower building is situated has not been subdivided since the tower building was constructed. Sprint Spectrum has leased space on and within the building and will not be creating a subdivision of land. 3. Any increase in volume, area, or extent of the non-conforming use shall not exceed an aggregate of more than twenty five percent(25%) of the original use. -1 THE NLS GROUP �.� The original use consisted of the 84 foot tower building, a 120 foot wide antenna, a 40 foot radar tower and a 60 foot wide parable .reflector as evidenced by the Board's February 20, 1957 Notice of Decision. Sprint Spectrum's antennae are less than 25% of size of the antennas approved by the Board's 1957 decision. Sprint Spectrum will locate all electrical equipment in the confines of the existing building. 4. No change shall be permitted which tends to lengthen the economic life of the non-conforming... longer than a period reasonable for the amortization of the initial investment. The economic life of the tower building will not be extended by Sprint Spectrum's proposed wireless communications facility. Sprint Spectrum's proposal is not dependent upon any expansion or improvement of the existing building. Accordingly, the proposal does not extend the building's economic life. 10.31 Conditions for Approval of Special Permit a. The specific site is an appropriate location for such a use, structure or condition. The location is appropriate for a wireless communications facility. When searching for an appropriate site, Sprint Spectrum first seeks out existing structures such as tall, buildings water tanks and existing communications structures. The Boston Hill tower building can accommodate Sprint Spectrum's need without requiring a new structure. The location is also appropriate because it aggregates wireless communications equipment rather than distributing it amongst various locations in North Andover on new structures. b. The use as developed will nota r elvect the neighborhood. The use will not create traffic congestion because only one or two visits per month by maintenance personnel will be required. The use is entirely passive; it will not produce any noise, waste, odor, 4& or smoke. The proposed use is consistent with the current use of the site as a communications tower building. c. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. The proposed use will create no nuisance because it is passive and will therefore not interfere with the use and enjoyment of the property of others. �2 THE NLS GROUP i As noted above, the vehicular traffic to the site will be limited to occasional maintenance visits and will therefore not create a hazard to other vehicles or pedestrians. d. Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of the proposed use. Sprint Spectrum's engineers have determined that adequate space exists on the tower building to accommodate construction and operation of its antennae without interfering with the operations of the other users. Similarly, adequate space exists within the tower building to accommodate Sprint Spectrum's electrical equipment. Sprint Spectrum's engineers have determined that the building walls and floor area are structurally sound for the contemplated construction. e. Desired relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of this by-law. The proposed use will be compatible with existing uses and will generate no noise, traffic, smoke, dust, odors, disruptive lighting or commercial sales activities. The proposed use is passive in nature. The provision of PCS services will inure to the public good by providing enhanced wireless communications to businesses and residents of the Town of North Andover both on a day-to-day basis as well as during emergencies. Furthermore, increased wireless competition will benefit consumers, provide added convenience to local residents, and enhance productivity of area businesses. Also, we note that this proposal is substantially similar to that of other telecommunication users which have been granted 'a special permit for this site. As our application seeks the same relief based upon substantially similar facts and circumstances, denial of the application would unreasonably place Sprint Spectrum at a substantial competitive disadvantage in the Town of North Andover. For the foregoing reasons as well as pursuant to Section 704(a) of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 which provides, among other things, that wireless facilities may not be prohibited or treated unequally, Sprint Spectrum respectfully requests that the Board of Appeals grant a special permit pursuant to from Sections 9.2 and 10.31 of the by-law consistent with the accompanying application. #50072831 v2-NULT'ONBL-t8Cz021.D0C-80563/4 -3- • THE NLS GROUP U ZBA NOTES by 41 S.

(See attached info regarding facts and documentation ). An open hearing ensued for more than two hours with considerable input from interested parties present, both "for" and "against " the petition. Many questions were asked and the hearing was continued to the next public meeting on January 14, 1997. A continual fact finding effort is underway to obtain additional facts and information so as to clarify the ZBA's position in making findings and ultimately a decision.

ZONING SUMMARY-NORTH ANDOVER MASS During the years of Mlitary Defense Special Permit Operating Authority, at least 1957 through 1982, there were two antenna sites whose function was related. Both Boston Hill and Mills Hill Antenna Sites were discontinued by the US Government at about the same time in the early 1980's. ZBA Denied the requests for a Special Permit by Carter & Alger, Pet.#6-1983. Considerable Legal Action ensued, probably because of the related functions at both of these sites during the Military Defense Years at Mills Hill & Boston Hill.

Kopelman and Paige, P.C. 31 St. James Avenue Boston, MA 02116-4102 RE: Sprint Spectrum; Special Permit Application to North Andover Board of Appeals; Benjamin G. Farnum Dear Mr. Bard: I am in receipt of your letter dated January 27 , 1997 . As you know, Sprint Spectrum L.P. currently has an application for a Special Permit before the Board of Appeals seeking permission to install two antennae arrays on the existing structure on the Boston Hill site, and to construct interior partitions on the second floor of the structure to house the electrical equipment assocJ4.ated therewith. The Board has already held two ( 2) lengthy hearings on this application, and a third continuer?-hearing is scheduled for February 11, 1997 . Incident to those hearings the Board has been provided with detailed information concerning the work proposed by Sprint Spectrum and the history of the site and its current use. Further, Mr. Farnum has allowed the Board Chairman; its individual members and the Building Inspector to view the site on a number of occasions , and they have seen the various antennas and structures on the site. There has been no lack of information about the size or location of the antennae. At the last public hearing, I believe I represented to the Board that there is no obsolete or unused equipment at the site. My client recently removed from the building and the site several pieces of equipment that were no longer in use. By virtue of a prior decision of the Board, which decision remaii:s in full force and effect, Mr. Farnum was given permission to attach to the tower "antennae and transmitting dishes, not to • " Page 2 January 31, 1997 RE: Sprint Spectrum; Special Permit Application to North Andover Board of Appeals; Benjamin G. Farnum exceed a total height of 140 feet" . I believe that the antennae array proposed by Sprint comes within the purview of that prior permission. Lastly, under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, municipalities are prohibited from enforcing ordinances or bylaws which prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services, or which unreasonably discriminate among the providers thereof . To the extent that the current bylaw prohibits the construction of personal wireless service facilities, it does not comply with federal law and is unenforceable. Further, the Board has previously permitted NYNEX Mobile Communications the right to place antennas and facilities at the subject site, and to deny Sprint Spectrum the right to do so would indeed be discriminatory under the new law. It is my client's position that he and Sprint Spectrum should be permitted to do the proposed work, and that the Board should grant the proposed permit, pursuant to both local, state and federal law.

Re : Sprint Spectrum - Special Permit Application North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals Dear Attorneys Scalise and Rand: I am writing to you in your capacity as counsel for the applicant Sprint Spectrum (attorney Scalise) and counsel for the landowner Benjamin Farnum (attorney Rand) in the above matter. Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman Walter Soule has informed me that the Board appreciates having received the information that has been provided to date . However, in order for the Board to be able to act on this permit application, the Board must receive information describing the various antennae currently on the site and identifying the users of those antennae (as well as identifying the equipment no longer in use) . As you know, the Town is concerned about the lack of information available about the numerous antennae, etc . at the site and is also interested in having obsolete and unused equipment removed. I understand that some claim has been made to the effect that the requested information is "proprietary. " I am aware of no basis for such a claim. The Zoning Board looks forward to receiving the requested information and bringing this matter to a close .

John Carney Special Services Division Commander TO: Richard M. Stanley Chief FROM: Richard C. Boettcher jC Communications Supervisor DATE: December 2, 1996 REF: Communication Antenna Sites The following information is forwarded concerning the appeal of Sprint Spectrum L.P. on petition #040-96. At this time Sprint Spectrum L.P. has requested to build a communication antenna site/tower on the Boston Hill site. They have not requested to build at the Mill Hill or Clay Pit Hill sites. The information on those sites was requeuted to broaden the area to be checked for problems. The North Andover Police Department has not had any specific problems at the current tower sites as far as public incidents. Also the police department does not have any equipment at the sites and the use of the sites for telephone communication antennas should not have any effects on our current equipment. I do understand that IF we were using the 800 MHZ band from that tower site we could possibly have a problem. It has also been verified that the North Andover Emergency Management Agency has equipment on the Boston Hill s .te. The Zoning Board of Appeals should contact John Coco, NAEMA, to clarify their concerns.

Date: December 4, 1996 I have spoken with Mr. Martin Cohen regarding the proposal to place an antenna and associated equipment on Boston Hill and in the concrete structure owned by the Farnums. The Fire Department is opposed to any increase in the use of this structure until life safety hazards have been eliminated and the building brought into compliance with state codes. Although I have no objection for antenna use on Boston Hill, there have been many installations at this structure which have not complied with permit requirements under both the State Building Code and the Fire Safety Code. Adding increased use without corresponding building compliance will compound the situation. It is my recommendation that the owners and occupants of the structures hire an engineering firm to present plans which would bring the structure into compliance and insure life safety. v William V.

This parcel is situated between Route 114 and Boston Street. I have also reviewed the proposed construction plans for the antennae as well as the zoning by-laws for the Town of North Andover. My analysis is discussed in the following paragraphs. The proposed site is located on Boston Hill, one of the highest elevations in North Andover. The property is accessible from a driveway off Boston Street and is secured by a metal gate. The parcel inclines sharply from Route 114 to an elevation of 384.8 feet. Currently, the parcel is improved with a concrete tower building which is about eighty feet in height. Reportedly, the structure was built in the 1950's for defense related communication purposes. The tower is improved with numerous antennae of varying heights and associated cables, utilities and support appurtenances. There are also a number of cable television dish antennae located on the ground. William Sullivan, Chairman December 5, 1996 Page 2 The proposed Sprint Spectrum antennae will be mounted onto the wall of the concrete tower. The electrical equipment will be located on the second floor inside the structure. Installation of the antennae and support cable, utilities and appurtenances will not constitute a structural change to the concrete tower. All equipment will be attached to the existing structure without substantially changing the physical components. The tower site is situated in the R2 Residential zone as designated by the current Town of North Andover Zoning By-laws. Thus, the existing use is considered a legal, non-conforming use because it predates the current regulations. Section 9 Article 2.4 states that no change shall be permitted which tends to lengthen the economic life of the non-conforming use longer than a period reasonable for the amortization of the initial investment. It is important to understand the concepts which guide this provision. First, there is a distinct difference between actual and effective age. Actual age is defined as: "The number of years that have elapsed since construction of an improvement was completed."' Effective age is defined as: "The age indicated by the condition and utility of the structure."' The actual age of the existing tower is forty years. However, based on the construction, condition and functional utility, the effective age is about ten years. The structure was designed for defense related commination purposes and requires minimal maintenance. Reportedly, the walls of the structure are twelve inches thick. Thus, we can expect the concrete tower to last many more years without major improvement. ' Appraisal Institute,The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal,Third Edition 1993,Page 5. 2 Ibid.,Page 112 f y, 4 William Sullivan Chairman December 5, 1996 Page 3 According to the Marshall Valuation Service, a nationally recognized cost service, the economic life of a concrete structure like the existing tower is 40 years. Economic life is defined as: "The period over which improvements to real property contribute to the property value."3 The Zoning By-law forbids a change in the non-conforming use which will lengthen the economic life of the improvement. However, as stated, installation of the proposed Sprint Spectrum antennae will not change the physical components of the concrete tower. Based on our analysis, the remaining economic life of the tower is currently about thirty years. This will not change as a result of the proposed antennae and associated equipment. Thus, it conforms with the regulations of the Zoning By-law regarding the alteration or extension of a non-conforming use. I hope this information is helpful. If I can be of further service, please do hesitate to call. Sincerely, eborah B. Haskell. MAI Massachusetts Certified General Real Estate Appraiser 4813 DBH:jr 3 Ibid.Page 112 Donald L. Haes, Jr., MS, CHP Consulting Health Physicist (617) 258-5640 January 10, 1997 PURPOSE The following report reflects the results of the physical measurements of Radio Frequency (RF) exposure for the area surrounding the tower building on Boston Hill in North Andover, MA. The measurements were obtained at the request of the owner, Benjamin Farnum, and John W. Wadsworth, Esq., to determine the ambient RF exposure in the immediate vicinity of the installation. The results are listed in comparison to applicable Federal exposure limits. SUMMARY OF RESULTS As described in more detail below, I measured existing RF exposure within an area approximately 100 feet surrounding the building site. The results of these measurements show that, at the place of highest measured exposure, the maximum RF exposure level in the area was about 1.49% of the Maximum Permissible Exposure ME) for the public. 1 This means that the maximum RF exposure was less than two one-hundredths of the amount that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health 2 Federal Communications Commission [FCC] 3.4 allows for continuous public exposure. 1 ANSI C95.1-1991: American National Standard,Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields,from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. 2 105 CMR 122.000,Fixed facilities which generate electromagnetic freUs in the frequency range of 300 kHz to 100 GHz &microwave ovens. 3 Federal Register,Federal Communications Commission Rules;Radiofrequency radiation;environmental effects evaluation guidelines Volume 1, No. 153,41006-41199,August 7, 1996. [47 CFR Part 1;Federal Communications Commission] 4 Telecommunications Act of 1996,47 USC; Second Session of the 100 Congress of the United States of America,January 3, 1996. MIT Building 20C-207 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge,MA 02139 N[EASUREMYNT PROTOCOL RF exposure measurements of the ambient and test levels at the proposed site and adjacent area were obtained on January 7, 1997, using accepted scientific procedures. 5.6 The measuring equipment included a Narda model 8718 Electromagnetic Radiation Meter with model 8722B Broadband Isotropic Probe, and FM/AM 1500 Spectrum Analyzer. The probe of choice in a mixed-frequency environment is the broadband type - that is, it responds to a wide range of frequencies. The Narda model 8722B probe provides a meter read-out in %WE (percent ANSI C95.1-1996 Maximum Permissible Exposure Limits {for workers)). Since the allowable RF exposures for members of the public are one-fifth of those for workers, the results will be multiplied by five. The results of the measurements were obtained by recording measurements on the north, west, east, and south face of the building, along with the site access gate and the access road gate. (See attached Figure 1) Measurements were obtained at a height of five feet from the ground, in an area approximately seven by ten feet. The readings were recorded as %MPE. In cases where ambient RF fluctuated, the maximum reading was recorded. The accuracy of the measurement system is a combination of the following: instrument accuracy 7, t 1.0%; calibration uncertainty, + 0.5 dB (1.122), - 0.5 dB (0.891); and probe isotropy error, + 0.75 dB (1.189), - 0.75 dB (0.841). A conservative approach is to obtain the root-sum-square (RSS) of the three factors. • If the meter reads high: RSS = [ (0.01)2 + (0.122)2 + (0.189)2 ]11 Or, 22.5 % higher than true value; or the correction factor is 1/1+RSS, or 0.816 X meter reading. • If the meter reads low: RSS = [(0.01)2 + (1-0.891)2 + (1-0.841)2 ]11 Or, 19.3 % lower than true value; or the correction factor is 1/1-RSS, or 1.24 X meter reading. For this RF exposure analysis, the readings were multiplied by 1.24 to be conservative. 5 ANSY=C95.3-1991: American National Standard,Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potential Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave. 6 NCRP Report No. 119: National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, 1993;A Practical Guide to the Determination of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields. 7 The NARDA Microwave Corporation,435 Moreland Road,Hauppauge, NY, 11788.

This parcel is situated between Route 114 and Boston Street. I have also reviewed the proposed construction plans for the antennae as well as the zoning by-laws for the Town of North Andover. My analysis is discussed in the following paragraphs. The proposed site is located on Boston Hill, one of the highest elevations in North Andover. The property is accessible from a driveway off Boston Street and is secured by a metal gate. The parcel inclines sharply from Route 114 to an elevation of 384.8 feet. Currently, the parcel is improved with a concrete tower building which is about eighty feet in height. Reportedly, the structure was built in the 1950's for defense related communication purposes. The tower is improved with numerous antennae of varying heights and associated cables, utilities and support appurtenances. There are also a number of cable television dish antennae located on the ground. Y . William Sullivan, Chairman December 511996 Page 2 The proposed Sprint Spectrum antennae will be mounted onto the wall of the concrete tower. The electrical equipment will be located on the second floor inside the structure. Installation of the antennae and support cable, utilities and appurtenances will not constitute a structural change to the concrete tower. All equipment will be attached to the existing structure without substantially changing the physical components. The tower site is situated in the R2 Residential zone as designated by the current Town of North Andover Zoning By-laws. Thus, the existing use is considered a legal, non-conforming use because it predates the current regulations. Section 9 Article 2.4 states that no change shall be permitted which tends to lengthen the economic life of the non-conforming use longer than a period reasonable for the amortization of the initial investment. It is important to understand the concepts which guide this provision. First, there is a distinct difference between actual and effective age. Actual age is defined as: "The number of years that have elapsed since construction of an improvement was completed."' Effective age is defined as: "The age indicated by the condition and utility of the structure."' The actual age of the existing tower is forty years. However, based on the construction, condition and functional utility, the effective age is about ten years. The structure was designed for defense related commination purposes and requires minimal maintenance. Reportedly, the walls of the structure are twelve inches thick. Thus, we can expect the concrete tower to last many more years without major improvement. 1 Appraisal Institute,The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal Third Edition 1993,Page 5. 2 Ibid.,Page 112 � • Y J William Sullivan Chairman December 5, 1996 Page 3 According to the Marshall Valuation Service, a nationally recognized cost service, the economic life of a concrete structure like the existing tower is 40 years. Economic life is defined as: "The period over which improvements to real property contribute to the property value.i3 The Zoning By-law forbids a change in the non-conforming use which will lengthen the economic life of the improvement. However, as stated, installation of the proposed Sprint Spectrum antennae will not change the physical components of the concrete tower. Based on our analysis, the remaining economic life of the tower is currently about thirty years. This will not change as a result of the proposed antennae and associated equipment. Thus, it conforms with the regulations of the Zoning By-law regarding the alteration or extension of a non-conforming use. I hope this information is helpful. If I can be of further service, please do hesitate to call. Sincerely, eborah B. Haskell.

Andover ' Microwave Hop(s): IN.Andover to Methuen(Pie Hill) A cellular site consists of a cellular antenna and can also include one or more microwave antennas. The request for this microwave hop will Include the effects of all radiating structures at this site. Th total power density will be computed as a fractional number. The computations of the total fractional power density of all radiating antennas at the this site will be computed as follows: Cellular Antennas: Assumes that the cellular antenna is assumed to be omni-directional. The cellular antenna will also be assumed to be pointing directly at the nearest structure. This assumptiori is a worst case scenario. Microwave Antennas: Each microwave antenna's pointing direction and antenna directivity will be accounted for. A microwave hop is designed so that no obstacles are in the transmitting and receiving antenna pattern's path. This design requires a clear line of sight and directional antennas, usually a parabolic dish, for minimal interference. The Andrew parabolic dish typically has a 3 dB beamwidth within 3 degrees. In other words the transmitting power is halved within 3 degrees off pointing direction. Because the directivity and pointing direction are accounted for one can not situp add up the power densities for past microwave hops at this site on file at the Massachusetts Department Public of Health. However, the power densities on file for approved sites can be used along with a multiplicative factor which maintains and or reduces the power density based on each microwave transmitting antenna's pointing direction and directivity. This translates to a m ultiplicativ factor in the power density computations on file where the multiplicative factor Is directly obtained from the corresponding site antenna pattern. Note that the assumption will still be made that each . antenna is pointing directly at the nearest structure, but the point on that structure is dependent on each microwave hop's transmitting antenna azimuth pointing direction. This assumption Is a worst case scenario. This DPH filing is requesting an addition of one microwave hop at the site. The worst case increase of power density will occur in that hop's pointing direction, 339 degrees. So all other microwave transmitter's power density computations previously filed will be modified to account for pointing direction and directivity. The cellular power density calculations on file will not be increased becaus Microwave Hop/ Call Sign Freq.

The request for this microwave hop will include the effects of all radiating structures at this site. The total power density will be computed as a fractional number. The computations of the total fractional power density of all radiating antennas at the this site will be computed s follows: ellular Antennas: Assumes that the cellular antenna is assumed to be omni-directional. The cellular ntenna will also be assumed to be pointing directly at the nearest structure.This assumption is a worst case cenario. icrowave Antennas: Each microwave antenna's pointing direction and antenna directivity will be accounted or. A microwave hop is designed so that no obstacles are in the transmitting and receiving antenna pattern's ath. This design requires a clear line of sight and directional antennas, usually a parabolic dish,for minimal nterference. The Andrew parabolic dish typically has a 3 dB beamwidth within 3 degrees. In other words the ransmitting power is halved within 3 degrees off pointing direction. Because the directivity and pointing irection are accounted for one can not simply add up the power densities for past microwave hops at this site n file at the Massachusetts Department Public of Health. However,the power densities on file for approved sites can be used along with a multiplicative factor which maintains and or reduces the power density based on ach microwave transmitting antenna's pointing direction and directivity. This translates to a mutiplicative actor in the power density computations on file where the multiplicative factor is directly obtained from the corresponding site antenna pattern. Note that the assumption will still be made that each antenna is pointing directly at the nearest structure, but the point on that structure is dependent on each microwave hop's transmitting antenna azimuth pointing direction. This assumption is a worst case scenario. This DPH filing is requesting an additon of one microwave hop at the site. The worst case increase of power density will occur in that hop's pointing direction, 207.26 degrees. So all other microwave transmitter's power density computations previously filed will be modified to account for pointing direction and directivity. The cellular power density calculations on file will not be increased because it is asumed to be omni-directional. Microwave Hop/ Call Sign Freq.

On October 30, I received a voice mail message from Mr. Nicetta's office stating that Mr. Nicetta had not yet had an opportunity to review the plans, but that he would do so as soon as possible. As you may know, I have made application to the Zoning Board of Appeals on behalf of SSLP for a special permit. The application and plans clearly show that SSLP's proposal is confined to securing antennas to the existing tower building and locating associated electrical equipment on the building's second floor. There will be no expansion of the existing building, no new buildings, nor any disturbance to the land parcel upon which the tower building is situated. The plans submitted with the application include all the information that the Board of Appeals should require for zoning relief. Accordingly, I respectfully request that the Board of Appeals waive the requirement for a site plan-and original mylar as set forth in the instructions for filing variances and special permits with the Zoning Board of Appeals. The utility of a site plan is limited in this instance, because no new land development or building construction is contemplated, ONE OFFICE PARKWAY EAST PROVIDENCE,RHODE ISLAND 02914 401-435-4050 FAX 401.435-4055 http://www.nisgroup.com r It is my understanding from Jeannine McEvoy, the ZBA Secretary, that the public hearing will be scheduled for December 10, 1996.

Date: December 4, 1996 I have spoken with Mr. Martin Cohen regarding the proposal to place an antenna and associated equipment on Boston Hill and in the concrete structure owned by the Farnums. The Fire Department is opposed to any increase in the use of this structure until life safety hazards have been eliminated and the building brought into compliance with state codes. Although I have no objection for antenna use on Boston Hill, there have been many installations at this structure which have not complied with permit requirements under both the State Building Code and the Fire Safety Code. Adding increased use without corresponding building compliance will compound the situation. It is my recommendation that the owners and occupants of the structures hire an engineering firm to present plans which would bring the structure into compliance and insure life safety. William V.
