I see nothing new on the notification website since the last update on 2//262014. As we discussed, the 2/26/14 document is still very hard to upload and even harder to view. I believe you told me that you were going to work on it to make it more useful to those of us that want to be informed on this process. That would be greatly appreciated. In our conversation this March, you also mentioned that you had extended the deadline for AT&T to respond to your requests which were a result of the comments from parties of interest including myself. Could you please tell me what is the new deadline and if there has been any response from AT&T as of today? Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

The Jefferson County BOCC have been particularly neglectful to have not studied the issue and placed into law severe restrictions regarding location of these facilities near schools, commercial workspace and human habitat. I will continue to inform the County of it's responsibilities and liabilities in this matter. A cell tower should never be located next to a residential subdivision for many reasons - it is the County's responsibility to protect human health where any question exists. The health of my family, including my grandchildren, is facing risks due to a lack of due diligence by Jefferson County. The application for locating a cell tower adjacent to Blueberry Hill Subdivision should never have been allowed under any responsible law !

We understand that you are the County planner recently assigned to review the application, and appreciate the opportunity to work with you. The following response addresses the County's request and public comments. I. JeffCom911 Existing Structure (Coyle Rd.) An existing JeffCom911 structure is located in Jefferson County right-of-way adjacent to 8630 Coyle Rd., Quilcene, WA (Parcel No. 601023007). The structure is approximately 90' tall, with two Omni antennas extending to 100'. In its November 27, 2013 information request, the County advised the Applicant to contact Karl Hatton, JeffCom911 Director, about the possibility of collocating on the structure. The Applicant initially contacted Mr. Hatton on January 9, 2014. At the time the Applicant filed the application with the County, the structure was unavailable for colocation because, among other reasons, JeffCom911 could not show clear ownership and rights to the structure. As a result, and because colocation analysis was not required under JCC 18.42.060 and .070,the Applicant filed the application with the County proposing a new structure at 9395 Coyle Rd., Quilcene, WA (Parcel No. 601101003) (the SEA 11TE I.CISANGI:J.I:S I)ENV ER PORTLAND BEND 93 S.Jackson St. #75604 Kristen.larson @wirelesscounsel.com LOG ITEM t 425.628.2665 Seattle,WA 98104-2818 www.wirelesscounsel.com 13 3 f 206.219.6717 Page of • ECEIVE August 15, 2014 AUG 1 8 2014 Page 2 JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPT.OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT "Property"). Since then, the Applicant has executed a lease with the owner of the Property, and has advised JeffCom911 that colocation opportunities would be available on the proposed structure at commercially reasonable rates. The Applicant has not received any favorable response to its offer from JeffCom911 to date. II. Colocation Procedure (JCC 18.42.060; JCC 18.42.070) After the Applicant filed the application with the County proposing a new structure at 9395 Coyle Rd., the County requested that the Applicant complete the JCC 18.42.070 colocation procedure. The Applicant has complied with the County's request. The Applicant participated in a pre-application conference with the County. See Pre- Submittal Conference Application Notes, currently on file with the County. The Applicant also mailed a colocation notice to all other wireless providers licensed to provide service within Jefferson County in accord with JCC 18.42.070(2). See enclosed Colocation Notice, dated April 15, 2014, with attached U.S. Mail Certified Mail receipts. JCC 18.42.070(3) requires an applicant to make a good faith effort to analyze the feasibility of colocation if a positive response to the colocation notice is received. A letter from Bryon Gunnerson, Gunnerson Consulting and Communication Site Services LLC ("GCCSS") to the County, dated February 18, 2014, states that "JeffCom911 is open and willing to allow AT&T to modify or add height to the JeffCom911 Coyle Road Tower site in order to meet AT&T's objectives for its operations." In compliance with JCC 18.42.070(3), the Applicant has made a good faith effort to investigate the feasibility of colocation on the JeffCom911 structure by completing the County's requirements under JCC 18.42.070(3)(a)r(e), as shown in the following response: a. A statement from a qualified engineer indicating whether the necessary service can or cannot be provided by colocation at the potential colocation site; JCC 18.42.040(1)(i)requires that the Applicant submit"information necessary to determine the intended service area of the facility which may include a map of the intended service area." The Applicant's coverage objectives are to improve outdoor, indoor, and in vehicle coverage along Blueberry Hill Drive, Coyle Road, Kens Way, Camp Harmony Road, Old Coyle Road, and Lemonds Road, along with extending coverage to the area in the vicinity of Bangor Trident Base and US Naval Reservation. Exhibit A within the attached radiofrequency justification and propagation maps, produced by a qualified radiofrequency ("RF") engineer, depicts the gap in 4G LTE 700 0 MHz coverage that exists within the applicant's network. As shown in Exhibit A, this Ci.11 gap exists even with the coverage provided by AT&T's other existing and planned WCFs in the vicinity. (5 ® r' a) Though JeffCom911 may have obtained clear ownership to the structure in the Jefferson County right-of-way adjacent to 8630 Coyle Rd. since the Applicant filed the application, *k D August 15, 2014 AUG 1 8 2014 Page 3 1EFFERSON COUNTY DEPT.Of COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT the JeffCom911 structure is not available for colocation. JCC 18.42.030(2)(f) defines "colocation" as "the placement of two or more antenna systems or platforms by separate FCC license holders on a support structure or alternative support structure." In this case, as determined by a qualified RF engineer, the Applicant requires a 200' minimum height in the vicinity to meet AT&T's coverage objectives and address its existing low band 4G LTE 700 MHz coverage gap. The structure is only 90' tall, and thus no "placement of two or more antenna systems" is possible on the structure that would address AT&T's existing coverage gap and meet its coverage objectives. Even if colocation were possible on the JeffCom911 structure, the necessary service cannot be provided by colocation at the potential colocation site. As depicted in the attached narrative and RF propagation maps, produced by a qualified RF engineer, the existing 4G LTE 700 MHz coverage gap and AT&T's coverage objectives would not be addressed by antennas at a 200' height at the location of the JeffCom911 structure. A comparison of Exhibit B and Exhibit C of the attached radiofrequency propagation maps shows an inferior amount of acceptable coverage resulting from a 200' tall installation broadcasting a 4G LTE 700 MHz signal at the JeffCom911 site than from a 200' facility at the proposed site. As shown within Exhibit C, coverage from a 200' installation at the JeffCom911 site would not reach the area along Coyle Road south of approximately Kens Way, including Coyle Road and Camp Harmony Road. In addition, the existing JeffCom911 structure is outside the Applicant's search ring, or area where a site may be located in order to provide service in the desired coverage area, as illustrated in the response to public comment below. b. Evidence that the lessor of the potential colocation site either agrees or disagrees to colocation on their property; A letter from Bryon Gunnerson, Gunnerson Consulting and Communication Site Services LLC ("GCCSS")to the County, dated February 18, 2014, states that"JeffCom911 is open and willing to allow AT&T to modify or add height to the JeffCom911 Coyle Road Tower site in order to meet AT&T's objectives for its operations." Because a 200' minimum height is necessary to address AT&T's existing coverage gap and meet its coverage objectives, AT&T could not collocate on the existing 90' JeffCom911 structure. Instead, a new 200' structure would be needed within the County right-of-way. c. Evidence that adequate site area exists or does not exist at the potential colocation site to accommodate needed equipment and meet all of the site OC development standards; 2 �' AT&T could not collocate on the existing 90' JeffCom911 structure. Instead, a new 200' structure would be needed within the County right-of-way to address the existing gap in 0 r. r() AT&T's network and to meet its coverage objectives. In addition to a new structure, 9 AT&T would also require ground space to locate its equipment shelter and related C3' equipment. The February 18, 2014 Gunnerson letter states the space JeffCom911 • • August 15, 2014 Page 4 AUG 1 8 2014 JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPT.OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT currently leases from the County within the County right-of-way includes an approximately 21' x 11' "expansion area"within the right-of-way that would provide space for AT&T's shelter and equipment. But AT&T typically requires a larger approximately 50' x 50' leased area to accommodate its equipment shelter and related equipment. See Zoning Drawings, currently on file with the County. Even if there were adequate site area to accommodate a 200' WCF and associated 50' x 50' lease area at the existing JeffCom911 structure site, it is uncertain whether such a WCF and lease area would comply with Chapter 13.60 JCC and Chapter 13.56 JCC development standards for construction in the right-of-way, as no permit application for such construction has been filed with the County for review. Any required landscape buffer, maintenance vehicle access from Coyle Road, or emergency vehicle access from Coyle Road would require additional area beyond the designated"expansion area"within County right-of- way. Given the approximate 20' width between the edge of the Coyle Road pavement and adjacent private property line, it is uncertain whether enough space exists to accommodate shelter, related equipment, access, and any required buffer. The Applicant would need to obtain the necessary permits and necessary private landowner permission for any aspect of a proposed WCF that would extend onto adjacent private property. d. Evidence that adequate access does or does not exist at the potential colocation site; The designated 11' x 21' "expansion area"noted in the February 18, 2014 Gunnerson letter does not include access. While there may be public right-of-way access from Coyle Road, it is unknown whether this existing access would satisfy County requirements for necessary sight distance or emergency vehicle turn-around space. e. Nonproprietary technical information to evaluate the feasibility of colocation. JCC 18.42.070 recognizes that"colocation of antennas by providers is not always feasible for technical or business reasons." To ensure a minimum 200' height would be available at the JeffCom911 site, the existing 90' structure at the site would need to be removed and replaced with a new WCF at least 200' tall financed exclusively by the Applicant but seemingly owned by JeffCom911. If a new 200' structure needs to be constructed in any case, it is not commercially feasible for the Applicant to invest the funds necessary to construct the tower but not retain full ownership and control of the tower and associated equipment. In addition, any 200' structure at the location within the County right-of-way would be highly visible to those travelling along Coyle Road. O, III. Photo Simulations ® m Please see enclosed additional photo simulations, View 1 —View 5. These photo Q P• ati simulations address JCC 18.42.040(1)(j) requirements for photographic views. No balloon test requirements are set forth within JCC 18.42.040 application submittal and Cb It • ECEily AUG August 15, 2014 1 $ 2014 Page 5 JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT content requirements, JCC 18.42.080(2) Type II land use review requirements, or JCC 18.42.090 design review standards, which constitute the review criteria for the proposed WCF. The Applicant has complied with JCC 18.42.040(1)(j) requirements. IV. Wetland Report BGE Environmental, LLC completed a Wetland Delineation Report, dated March 24, 2014, on behalf of the Applicant for the Property. See enclosed copy, Wetland Delineation Report("Report"), BR0266Bangor Canal, dated March 24, 2014. The Property is a triangular shaped parcel that is approximately 20.46 acres, measuring approximately 1652' along the longest axis and 988' along the shortest axis. The Report identified two Category II and Category III wetlands and a Type N stream located on the Property, and two wetlands located off the Property to the east. As the report concludes, neither the proposed access road nor the ground lease area would be located within the wetlands, stream, or required buffers on the subject parcel. Based on habitat score level and wetland category, Category II and III wetlands on the Property must be protected by a 110' buffer under the County critical areas code. As depicted in the zoning drawings on file with the County, the proposed access road and ground lease area would be located more than 150' from the edge of the nearest wetland and stream area. V. Public Comment In addition to the comment submitted by Mr. Gunnerson addressed above, other public comment has been submitted to the.County on the proposal. Comments relevant to the County review criteria for the proposed WCF are addressed in turn: a. Proposed Site Selection Comments submitted to the County request information why the proposed site was selected and what alternate sites were considered. The Applicant has complied with County code requirements affecting site selection and alternate sites. JCC 18.42.070(3)requires an applicant to make a good faith effort to analyze the feasibility of colocation if a positive response to the colocation notice is received. As shown in the response above, the Applicant has complied with JCC 18.42.070(3) requirements for this analysis. 4- W JCC 18.42.040(1)(i) requires that an applicant provide "information necessary to determine the intended service area of the facility which may include a map of the intended service area." The Applicant's coverage objectives are to improve outdoor, indoor, and in vehicle coverage along Blueberry Hill Drive, Coyle Road, Kens Way, Camp Harmony Road, Old Coyle Road, and Lemonds Road, along with extending coverage to the area in the vicinity of Bangor Trident Base and US Naval Reservation. Exhibit A within the attached radiofrequency propagation maps, produced by a qualified • • 11ECV1 C August 15, 2014 AUG 1 8 2014 Page 6 JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPT.OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT radiofrequency ("RF") engineer, and depicts the gap in 4G LTE 700 MHz coverage that exists within the applicant's network. As shown in Exhibit A, this gap exists even with the coverage provided by AT&T's other existing and planned WCFs in the vicinity. The Applicant has complied with the JCC 18.42.040(1)(i)requirement. The need for service in this particular geographic area is determined by market demand, coverage requirements for a specific geographic area, and the need to provide continuous coverage from one site to another in a particular geographic region. AT&T is upgrading and expanding its wireless communications network throughout Washington, including the installation of the latest high band 4G LTE at the proposed site. Upon completion of this update, AT&T will operate a state-of-the-art digital network of wireless communications facilities throughout the proposed coverage area as part of its nationwide wireless communications network. LTE stands for"Long Term Evolution." This acronym refers to the ongoing process of improving wireless technology standards with speeds up to ten times faster than 3G. LTE technology is the next step in increasing broadband speeds to meet the demands of users and enable access to the variety of content accessed over mobile networks. Once the need for additional coverage in a particular area has been established, AT&T's RF engineers perform an RF engineering study to determine the approximate site location and antenna height that is required to provide service in the desired coverage area. AT&T's RF engineers identify an area that is called a"search ring"where a site may be located in order to provide service in the desired coverage area. See attached Search Ring Map. As the Search Ring Map for the proposed wireless facility depicts, the search ring is bounded by Coyle Road on the west and north, the U.S. Naval Reserve on the east, and commercial forestland on the south. The RF engineer takes the following objectives into consideration when identifying the search ring: 1. Coverage. The antenna site must be located in an area where the radio frequency broadcasts will provide adequate coverage within the significant gap in coverage. The RF engineer must take into consideration the coverage objectives for the site as well as the terrain in and around the area to be covered. Since radio frequencies travel in a straight line and diminish as they travel further away from the antennas, it is generally best to place an antenna site near the center of the desired coverage area. However, in certain cases, the search ring may be located away from the center of the desired W 0 coverage area due to the existing coverage, the surrounding terrain, or other features -- which might affect the radio frequency broadcasts like buildings or sources of electrical (' m t interference. 0 cp 2. Clutter. AT&T's antennas must"clear the clutter" in the area. Trees, buildings, and Vc rt other natural and man-made obstacles adversely affect the radio frequencies used in • • 11 , 10 o �I August 15, 2014 � • `� �u c; 1 g 2014 Page 7 L JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPT.OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AT&T's systems. AT&T's radio frequencies do not penetrate mountains, hills, rocks or metal, and trees, brick and wood walls, and other structures diminish its radio frequencies. Therefore, AT&T's antennas must be installed above or close to the "clutter" in order to provide high quality communications services in the desired coverage areas. In addition, if the local code requires us to accommodate additional carriers on the structure, the structure must be even higher in order to allow the other carriers' antennas to clear the clutter as well. 3. Call Handoff. The antenna site must be located in an area where the radio broadcasts from this site will allow seamless call handoff with adjacent sites. "Call handoff' is a feature of a wireless communications system which allows an ongoing telephone conversation to continue uninterrupted as the user travels from the coverage area of one antenna site into the coverage area of an adjacent antenna site. This requires coverage overlap for a sufficient distance and/or period of time to support the mechanism of the handoff. 4. Quality of Service. Users of wireless communications services want to use their services where they live, work, commute and play, including when they are indoors. AT&T's coverage objectives include the ability to provide indoor coverage in areas where there are residences, businesses and indoor recreational facilities. 5. Radio Frequencies used by System. The designs of wireless communications systems will vary greatly based upon the radio frequencies that are used by the carrier. If the carrier uses radio frequencies that are in the 700 MHz range, the radio signals will travel further and will penetrate buildings better than the radio frequencies in the 850 MHz or 1900 MHz band. As a result, the wireless communications systems that use the lower radio frequencies will need fewer sites than the wireless communications systems that use the higher radio frequencies. 6. Land Use Classifications. AT&T's ability to construct a cell site on any particular , property is affected by Washington state law and Jefferson County regulations, including zoning classifications, comprehensive plan designations, and comprehensive plan goals and policies. AT&T's search rings take these laws and regulations into consideration. AT&T's coverage propagation software systems use these and other factors (type of antenna;antenna tilt, etc.) to predict the coverage that will be provided by the proposed (70 site. See attached RF justification and propagation maps. 2 y.- W O For property within and just outside the search ring in this case, JCC 18.42.080 }— establishes a priority-siting scheme for wireless communication facilities depending on (.9 N.) zoning district. If there are existing wireless facilities or structures in designated o [ forestlands, commercial and industrial zoning districts, or if a new wireless facility less J than 60' tall is proposed in designated forestlands or certain industrial zones, such uses �• .F are permitted outright. Here, there are no existing wireless facilities within the search 'T • • Fr\ EOEUVED 1 August 15, 2014 AUG 1 8 2014 Page 8 JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPT.OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ring. The existing JeffCom911 structure is outside the search ring to the north and is not feasible for colocation, as illustrated above. Because the minimum height required to address the existing coverage gap and meet coverage objectives is 200', the proposed WCF would not be permitted outright in designated forestlands or industrial zones. Within the search ring, the Applicant also analyzed the feasibility of locating the WCF at 216 Blueberry Hill Drive or 356 Blueberry Hill Drive. Both of these options were determined not feasible due to the Blueberry Hill Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) applicable to each property that place restrictions on cellular antennas, and because a location on Rural Residential zoned property is not a preferred location under the County's priority-siting scheme. Of the property within the search ring, siting new wireless facilities more than 60' tall in a residential zoning district is one of the least- preferred options under the County code priority-siting scheme. As a higher priority under the siting scheme, new wireless facilities more than 60' tall are allowed in designated forest lands subject to administrative approval by the County Department of Community Development Director. JCC 18.10.010;JCC 18.40.040;JCC 18.42.080(2). Of the property within the search ring located in the County's Inholding Forest, Commercial Forest, and Rural Forest zoning districts,' a landowner within the Inholding Forest zoning district, owner of the Property, was willing to offer property for lease to the Applicant. The Property also provides access to electric and telecomm infrastructure, which is necessary for wireless communication facility development. Thus, the Property was selected for a proposed wireless facility. The Applicant has complied with the priority-siting scheme set forth in the County code. b. Visual impacts JCC 18.42.040(1)(j)requires that"for applications that propose construction of new wireless communications towers in rural residential... districts," an applicant must submit"photographic views from significant points in the `viewshed' showing the existing appearance and photo simulations depicting the appearance after the proposed facility is installed." Additional photo simulations, View 1 –View 5, have been developed to illustrate the appearance of the proposed facility when viewed from the Blueberry Hill neighborhood. The proposed facility would be located outside and northeast of the Blueberry Hill neighborhood. As depicted within the zoning drawings on file with the County, Blueberry Hill Lot#6 would be the closest Blueberry Hill lot to the proposed WCF. At that point, the proposed WCF would be located approximately 478' 5"north of the north boundary of this lot. This distance complies with JCC 18.42.090(1)(d) setback requirements for the Inholding Forest zoning district. See p Zoning Drawings, currently on file with the County.

Thus, the Applicant has complied with the JCC 18.42.040(1)(j)requirement. JCC 18.42.090(1)(a) requires WCFs, including towers and equipment enclosures, "shall be painted a non-reflective color that blends with the surroundings." In accord with the code requirement, the Applicant will paint the WCF, including the structure and equipment, a non-reflective color that blends with the surroundings. JCC 18.42.090(1)(c) states "tower lighting shall not be allowed except as required by the FAA." The FAA does not require tower lighting at this time. See attached FAA Summary Report, dated July 1, 2014. The Applicant does not propose that the structure be lighted. c. Compliance with FCC Requirements for RF Emissions We appreciate and respect the opportunity to ask questions about RF emissions of the proposed WCF. But Section 332(c)(7) of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 does not allow any local government to regulate the placement, construction, or modification of wireless facilities on the basis of the health effects of radiofrequency emissions to the extent that the facility complies with FCC regulations. As shown in the Applicant's NIER Report, dated August 16, 2013, which is on file with the County, the proposed installation is licensed by the FCC and would comply with FCC regulations. Consistent with the federal Ninth Circuit's decision, which governs in Washington State, any rationale based on potential health effects of RF emissions or declining property values based on concerns about those potential health effects is an improper basis for the County's permit decision under federal law. See AT& T Wireless Servs. Of Cal., LLC v. City of Carlsbad, 308 F.Supp.2d 1148, 1159 (S.D.Ca1.2003) MetroPCS, Inc. v. City & County of S.F. (9th Cir. 2005). Thus, the issue is preempted under federal law and any testimony or documents introduced relating to the environmental or health effects of the proposed site may not be considered. This topic has been studied extensively with nearly 25,000 articles published over the past 30 years. Based on this extensive and increasing body of evidence, the World Health Organization, American Cancer Society, and the FCC have all concluded that there is no evidence of any health consequences from exposure to wireless communication sites. Because of its regulatory responsibilities in this area the FCC often receives inquiries COI concerning the potential safety hazards of human exposure to RF energy, and provides 2 additional information at: http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopediairadio-frequency-safety. H d. Security and Access 0 0 The proposed WCF would be accessed from Coyle Road through an existing gravel —J 9115 O access extending south through the Property. As part of the lease, the Applicant would 4 1 obtain a 20' access &utility easement over the area of the existing gravel access. • • August 15, 2014 Page 10 Electric power and telecom would be extended to the proposed facility within the easement. The facility would be surrounded by 6' fencing topped with barbed wire,with a locking gate accessible only by AT&T authorized personnel. e. Traffic and Noise Impacts The proposed WCF would be unmanned. The proposal would generate only approximately one vehicle trip per month on the surrounding road system,when a maintenance vehicle would visit the site for facility maintenance. JCC 18.42.090(1)(g) requires that any noise generated by the facility comply with Chapter 173-60 Washington Administrative Code(WAC)noise regulations. As proposed,the facility would comply with Chapter 173-60 WAC noise regulations. Compliance documentation can be submitted with the building permit application. Again, thank you for the opportunity to respond to the County's information request, to respond to public comment, and to provide information how the proposal meets County review criteria.
