From: Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Developme~
Date: August 3, 2004
Subj: Minor Modification of 08-U-87, (File No. DIR-2004-11) to allow 6 PCS panel
antennas to be mounted on a P.G.& E. lattice tower at a maximum height of 46 feet, 2
inches, and a base equipment enclosure next to the tower for a personal wireless service
facility at the Monta Vista P.G.& E. substation. 10110 California Oak Way.

Chapter 19.132 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for administrative approval of
minor changes to a project. The Director reports his decision to the City Council and
Planning Commission in time to allow any Councilmember or Planning Commissioner to
appeal the decision within fourteen calendar days.
Application: Minor Modification of 08-U-87, (File No. DIR-2004-ll) to allow 6 PCS
panel antennas mounted on a P.G.& E. lattice tower and a base equipment enclosure next
to the tower for a personal wireless service facility at the Monta Vista P.G.& E.
substation. 10110 California Oak Way.
Description: The applicant Dave Minger ofVelocitel, representing AT& T Wireless is
requesting the establishment of a personal wireless service facility on an existing lattice
tower located at the Monta Vista P.G.&E. electrical substation. Six 4.33 feet long panel
antenna would be mounted vertically on three of the legs of the lattice tower at a
maximum height of 46 feet, 2 inches. Connecting cables would be bundled in conduit
and run along the legs of the tower. The base equipment station would be enclosed
behind a wooden fence located just northwest of the tower. The City approved a similar
personal wireless service facility with an antenna height of 30 feet on the same tower
several years ago. The tower is located 700+ feet away from the nearest residence. (See
attached photosimulations). The location and design conform to the City's Wireless
Master Plan in that the wireless communications facility uses an available taller structure
to mount the antennas, which are mounted vertically close to the tower legs to blend in
visually, and the cables are concealed in conduits run along the tower legs.
Action: The Director of Community Development deems the modification minor and
approves the project with the following conditions of approval.
1. The approval is effective August 3,2004. The 14 calendar day appeal period will
expire on August 17, 2004.
2. The panel antennas and conduit shall be painted a flat grey color that matches the
coloration of the lattice tower.
3. The Director's approval is valid for a period of 5 years and shall expire on August
17, 2009, unless the permit is appealed and subsequently denied.
