SUBJECT: Submittal for GTE Wireless Communication Facility, 5823 Newton Drive,
APN 212-050-43; Site Number GTECA 1136
To Whom It May Concern:
JM Consulting Group is pleased to submit on behalf of its client, GTE Wireless, an
application for an unmanned telecommunication facility at 5823 Newton Drive. GTE
Wireless is a regional wireless telephone service and is continuing the buildout of its
wireless phone network in the San Diego area.
Project Description
The proposed telecommunication facility consists of twelve antennas mounted behind a
new 15'xl 5'x 10' rooftop screen. Although the rooftop screen is proposed to project ten
feet from the rooftop, the new screen will be set back from the east side of the building
approximately 26 feet. The viewing angle of the antenna screen in this rooftop location
will obscure its visibility from ground level. The antennas will be mounted behind the
screen in order to hide their visibility from even distant views of the rooftop. A photo
simulation was prepared for your review from the east elevation of the building. The base
transceiver station (BTS) equipment will be installed within the existing building on the
first floor. The equipment room will be 200 square feet in size and house the base
transceiver equipment.
Land Use
The site is zoned P-M in the City of Carlsbad and is primarily used for manufacturing and
warehouse. There are no other wireless facilities on the property.
Site Selection
This site was selected due to its strategic location and the ability to provide needed
coverage along El Camino Real from Hidden Valley Road to College Avenue as well as
the surrounding industrial and residential areas.
Please contact me at 858-627-4183 or 760-801-0202 if you have any questions
concerning this proposal.
Sincerely,
Ted Marioncelli
