PROJECT
DESCRIPTION: Earthlink proposes to
enter into an agreement for development, operation, and
maintenance of a Citywide Wi-Fi Network. Minor Wireless
Telecommunications Facilities would need to be installed
throughout the City on both public and private lands for the
network to function properly.
Proposed facilities on public lands include: 1)
co-locating up to 1,100 antenna nodes on existing public light
standards and utility poles. Up to 30 of these nodes would be
located in public parks. The size of the nodes would be 13” long
by 8” wide x 5” high; 2) co-locating up to 350 secondary
equipment pieces on one-third of the light standards and utility
poles that have antenna nodes installed on them. The type and
size of these equipment pieces include 12” square radio antenna
and a 2’ high pole antenna extension; and 3) co-locating various
antennas and equipment at the existing 80 foot high Mirador
Tower site located at 2010 Glen Oaks Boulevard.
Proposed facilities on private lands include: 1)
co-locating pole antennas up to 18’ high and/or antenna dishes
up to 2’ in diameter on the roof of up to five multi-story
buildings. Equipment would also be placed within existing roof
and ground mounted enclosures. A total of nine potential
building sites have been identified and evaluated. They include:
a) 3452 E. Foothill Boulevard; b) 300 N. Lake Avenue; c) 301 N.
Lake Avenue; d) 1200 E. California Boulevard (Millikin Library,
Caltech); e) 2947 Bradley Street; f) 251 W. Lake Avenue; g) 275
Cordova Street; h) 225 S. Lake Avenue; and i)1575 E. Washington
Boulevard.
The installation phase would require several
entitlement approvals as noted below. The installation phase
will take approximately 6-9 months. EarthLink would be
responsible for the installation and maintenance of all the
facilities.
Photo simulations of the facilities on light
standards, utility poles and buildings may be viewed at the
Permit Center at 175 North Garfield Avenue, the Central Library
at 285 E. Walnut Street and the City Clerk’s Office at 117 E.
Colorado Boulevard.
