7. The carrier must provide computer-generated photos showing the views (as selected by the city) with and without the tower. -Provided for the city to review. 8. All consultant analysis and legal analysis related to the towers and the lease of the towers shall be paid by the carrier. -Agreed. 9. The carrier is required to provide coverage maps to demonstrate the specific gap in coverage and need for an additional tower and antenna(s), and to demonstrate there are no existing tower options within a radius of two miles that could accommodate the carrier's antenna needs. -Information has been provided from the RF Engineer. The search area for which we're seeking a new tower location is nowhere near 2 miles. This is the only viable location in the area (Orono Golf Course) that meets Verizon's coverage needs/objectives. 10. The size of the cabinets on the ground needed to house the support equipment for the antennas is limited to the minimum necessary size, as determined by the city council. Appropriate vegetative screening of ground cabinets shall be provided by the carrier, subject to approval by the city council. The council at its discretion may allow the use of non -vegetative screening methods such as berming, fencing, etc. -We are proposing as small a lease area as possible to operate a fully functioning cell site. Typically, Verizon installs generators Win their lease area. We are not including one at this location as it'll take up too much area near the golf course. We are proposing to fully encompass our lease area with aesthetically pleasing fencing. Furthermore, the lease area is proposed within/near existing vegetation to further screen the equipment from view. 11. "Stealth" -type antennas (cylindrical) vs. an array of panels, is required if the technology is available. -We are proposing a stealth monopole with the antennas internal to the pole. 12. Only monopole towers are allowed. -We are proposing a stealth monopole.
