''• , j .�j�'+ THE NLS GROUP 1 ^ March 10, 1998 Zoning Board of Appeals Town of North Andover 120 Main Street North Andover,MA 01845 Re: Special Permit granted February 11, 1997 to Sprint Spectrum L.P. (Sprint PCS) for telecommunications facility on Boston Hill. Members of the Board: As you may recall, Sprint PCS was granted a Special Permit for a telecommunications facility on Boston Hill on February 11, 1997. The decision authorized a total of eight (8) antennas upon two bracket mounts. At the time of the installation of the facility, Sprint PCS determined that coverage needs could be met with a total,of four antennas on the two brackets, arranged in an alpha face and a beta face configuration. Since that time, system demands require the addition of two antenna panels on the east bracket in a gamma configuration. Since this will not surpass the 8 antenna limitation, Sprint PCS has the right to add these antennas under the existing Special Permit. However, in order to achieve the correct alignment for the gamma directionals,-the_bracket--on-the southeast-corner must be altered. Since coridition number 5 specif Cally limits the Special Permit to the "antenna arrays identified in the petition, including the plans submitted therewith,"the Building Inspector has indicated that approval of the Board is required for any alter,Ation to the plan. Therefore, Sprint PCS hereby requests that the Board approve the changes-,as illustrated in the attached plan. The alteration contemplated is an extension of the bracket on the east elevation so that it wraps around the corner to the south side of the building. The extension represents an increase in surface area of about 36 square feet. In the examination of Sprint PCS's 1997 Special Permit application, the Board, considered three formulas for calculating the 25% limitation, on expansion of non-conforming uses. The three formulas were: 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 25% limitation. Taking into consideration the addition of the Omnipoint equipment as a result of a Special Permit granted in August of 1997, the building currently has coverage totaling 1,628 square feet,which is approximately 13.5%. Therefore, if the total area ONE OFFICE PARKWAY EAST PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND 02914 401-43E 4t1$0 FAX 401-43'$1055 http://www.nlsgroup.com/ _ of the proposed extension is 36 square feet, the total antenna square footage will be increased to only 13.8%,well within 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. s Once again taking into consideration the added square footage of the Omnipoint installation, the total square footage with the requested Sprint extension will only be about 1,664 square feet and therefore remains well under the baseline of 3,600 square feet. c) The existing structure is slightly in excess of 36 feet by 36 feet. A 251/6 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 inelrease by more than 25%. The Petitioner's attachments could be accomplished within this. volumetric limitation. The engineers were able to design the proposed extension so that the array will remain within this volumetric limitation. The proposed alteration will not require any additional space within the building. Nor will the proposed extension adversely affect the neighborhood, present any hazards or nuisance to vehicles or pedestrians, or be detrimental to the public good. The extension is appropriate to the location and thus the granting of the request will be consistent with the Special Permit of February 11, 1998 as well as the intent and purposes of the zoning by-law.
