By PETE KLEIN
RAY BROOK—At the February 14 meeting of the Adirondack Park Agency, APA Commissioner Dan Wilt put forward for a vote to approve two new monopine telecommunications towers Raquette Lake. The project received unanimous approval from the APA Board of Commissioners.
PROJECT SITE
The project site is a 1.5±-acre parcel of land located on Antlers Road in the Town of Raquette Lake, Hamilton County, in an area classified Hamlet on the Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan Map. The site is identified as Tax Map Section 52.006, Block 1, Parcel 19.1, and is described in a deed from Dean Pohl to Dean Pohl and Donna H. Pohl, dated November 15, 1972, and recorded November 17, 1972 in the Hamilton County Clerk's Office at Book 158 of Deeds, at Page 130.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project as conditionally approved herein involves a subdivision by lease, creating a 7,000 square foot irregularly shaped parcel for the construction of two new telecommunications towers with related ancillary equipment as follows:
Tower 1: The tower will be 90 feet in height and will be located 178± feet east of Antlers Road. The top of the tower will be concealed as a simulated pine tree, for a total height of 95 feet (including 5-foot tall crown branching and a 4-foot-tall lightning rod). Six, 8-foot-tall panel antennas will be installed on the tower at a centerline mounting height of 88 feet above ground level (AGL), along with 15 Remote Radio Heads (RRHs)/Remote Radio Units (RRUs) (15.0 – 18.1 inches tall) and four DC6 squid surge suppressors (27 inches tall).
Tower 2: The tower will be 85 feet in height and will be located 190± feet east of Antlers Road. The top of the tower will be concealed as a simulated pine tree, for a total height of 90 feet (including 5-foot tall crown branching and a 4-foot tall lightning rod). Three, 8-foot-tall and three 5-foot-tall panel antennas will be installed on the tower at a centerline mounting height of 83 feet above ground level (AGL), along with six Remote Radio Heads (RRHs)/Remote Radio Units (RRUs) (14.9 – 17.91 inches tall).
The towers will be located within a 4,800 square foot fenced-in equipment compound area which will accommodate a 12.5-foot by 20-foot equipment platform for Tower 1 and a 12-foot by 20-foot equipment shelter for Tower 2. Access to the facility, for construction and service vehicles, will follow an existing residential driveway (no changes proposed) that will be extended by constructing an additional 40±-foot-long gravel access drive to reach the tower site. Underground utilities will be located along the access road and within a 30-foot-wide access and utility easement.
