restoration. Currently, City crews are required to sample water through the
system. Some of these sampling locations are inside of commercial buildings,
schools etc. This presents a problem if the crews are unable to access the
location. The new sampling stations allow samples to be taken directly from the
water main, as well as eliminating the need for coordinating access to the existing
sampling locations.
B) This project is identified in the CIP as part of the Water Filtration Plant
Improvements project, which is budgeted at $800,000. Included in the Water
Filtration Plant Improvements project is the purchase of valves for approximately
$200,000 and the valves replacement and weirs installation for approximately
$400,000.
Staff recommends award of this contract to Sharpe & Preszler Construction

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
MASTER FILE NO: SP 07-012 APPLICANT: Verizon Wireless
HEARING DATE: 12/20/07 2715 E 31st Avenue; #B
ACTION DATE: 1/ 17/08 Spokane, WA 99223
BACKGROUND
REQUEST: SPECIAL PERMIT: The replacement of an existing Franklin
County PUD Pole with a stronger pole to accommodate a wireless
communications array and install a 12' X 30' prefabricated building for
equipment storage. (Verizon Wireless, MF# 07-012 SP)
1. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
Legal: The north 177' of the West 140' of the East 660' of the
North 1/2 of the Northwest 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 27,
Range 9 North, Township 29 East, WM, Excluding the West 30'
and the North 36' for roads.
General Location: Site address is 6520 West Court Street.
Property Size: Approximately 15,512.29 sq. ft. or 0.356 acres.
2. ACCESS: The site has access from W. Court St. and 66th Place.
3. UTILITIES: All municipal utilities are available to the site.
4. LAND USE AND ZONING: The site is currently zoned C-1 (Retail
Business District) and is developed with MOJO'S CAFFEINE
EXPRESS. The properties to the north are outside the
incorporated city and the properties to the west, south, and east
are zoned C-1. Although, the properties to the east and south are
zoned C-1, both contain residential uses. The property to the west
is in a commercial use. The property to the northwest across Court
Street contains two radio broadcasting towers that are both over
200 feet tall.
5. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Goal OF-2 suggests the City ought to
maintain land use flexibility in regard to placement of
infrastructure for public and private utilities. Policy OF-2-A
encourages the sound management of all energy and
communication utilities through coordination and cooperation
dealing with construction of such facilities. Policy OF-2-B
encourages the placement of utility substations which are
necessary for the surrounding neighborhood.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: This proposal has been
issued a determination of nonsignificance in accordance with
review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter
43.21(c) RCW.
7. History: Following the direction in the Comprehensive Plan,
several years ago, the City established land use regulations for the
location and placement of wireless communication towers.
Wireless Communication Towers are permitted uses in all
industrial or C-3 zoning districts provided the location in such
districts is not closer than 500 feet to a residential district. In
such cases the tower/equipment would require special permit
approval. In addition wireless communication towers are
permitted by special permit in all zoning districts provided the
tower/equipment is attached to or located on a building that is 35
feet high or higher and/or is to be located on a publicly owned
facility such as land or buildings owned by the City, Port, County
or school district.
All building permit applications for wireless communication
equipment must be accompanied by stamped engineered drawings
and appropriate documentation from the FCC and FAA.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to relocate existing Wireless Communication
Facilities (WFCs) located on a Sterling Radio tower located at 6701 West
Court Street (behind Mac's Nursery) to the proposed site on 66th Place.
The proposed site is 500-600 feet from the existing site. The applicant's
reasoning for why the move is needed is detailed in the attached letter.
WCFs are regulated under PMC § 25.70.075. Based on the provisions of
this section WCFs may be permitted in all zones by special permit. The
main purpose of this portion of the PMC is to ensure that these facilities
will be located in the most appropriate locations, and visual impacts will
be mitigated to the greatest extent possible.
In review of this proposal Staff has identified three main components to
the proposal: 1) the replacing of an existing Franklin PUD Utility pole, 2)
the locating of a wireless communications array at the top of the new
2
utility pole, and 3) the placement of an equipment storage building to
support the wireless communication array. It is these three components
that require review for potential impacts.
First, the new facilities appear to comply with those provisions of PMC
that require the facility to be screened or camouflaged by: 1) locating the
wireless array on a utility pole, and 2) providing a 6ft cyclone fence, with
slats for screening, around the proposed equipment storage facility.
Second, the new facilities appear to comply with those provisions of PMC
that require the facility to be attached to an existing structure higher
than 35ft and or located on a publicly owned facility by locating the
wireless array on 70ft tall Franklin PUD utility pole.
However, upon a site visit to the subject parcel Staff would suggest that
two potential impacts, that may require mitigation, could result if the
proposed facility were to be approved. One potential impact is that the
existing utility pole and surrounding utility poles are made of wood and
are of the same general color and appearance. It appears that the new
pole will be made out of some type of metal and no color has been
specified. Not being of a consistent color and material with surrounding
utility poles may create a visual impact to the surrounding
neighborhood. Also based on Staff's understanding, the storage
equipment shed would require air conditioning units in order to maintain
constant temperatures for the equipment being housed. Neighbors have
voiced concerns that these units may produce unusually high noise
levels possibly impacting surrounding properties.
Finally, the proposed site for the WCFs was originally developed in
Franklin County. Consequently the site lacks complete infrastructure
improvements. Curb, gutter, and sidewalk are lacking; and 66th Place is
not completely improved on the east side of the right-of-way. Also, the
subject property does not provided all of the necessary right-of-way for
Court Street. As indicated in the legal description above the subject
property only provides 36 feet of right-of-way for Court Street rather than
the standard 40 feet that is required for arterial streets.
If the proposed Special Permit is to be approved the Planning
Commission will need to consider conditions to address the lack of
infrastructure, possible noise, and minor visual impacts if any created by
the new power pole.

INTIAL STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial
findings drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff
report. The Planning Commission may add additional findings to this
listing as the result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during
the open record hearing.
1. The site is located in a C-1 zone.
2. Adjoining properties to the south and east are zoned C-1 but are
developed with single family dwellings.
3. The site is occupied by an existing drive thru coffee stand.
4. No wireless communication facilities currently exist on the subject
parcel.
5. The new 70ft high utility pole will replace an existing utility pole.
6. The new pole will be constructed of metal.
7. Nearby power poles are wooden.
8. Two, 200 foot tall radio towers are located 500-600 feet northwest
of the site in question (Behind Mac's Nursery).
9. The applicant is proposing to relocate the WCFs from an existing
radio tower at 6701 West Court Street, to the south end of 66th
Place.
10. A communications array will be placed atop the new utility pole.
11. A prefabricated equipment storage building will be placed on the
subject parcel.
12. Noise will be generated at the site by a generator that will run at
least once a week for about an hour and climate control
equipment that will run regularly in order to maintain constant
temperatures in the equipment storage building.
13. The equipment storage building will be located in close proximity
to two existing residents.
14. The site lacks standard curb gutter and sidewalk improvements.
15. Water and sewer service are located in 66th Place.
16. The site has not provided the necessary right-of-way for Court
Street.
17. PMC 25.70.075 lists publicly owned facilities as locations
acceptable for cellular equipment through the special permit
review process.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning
Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its
4
conclusion based upon the criteria listed in P.M.C. 25.86.060. The
criteria are as follows:
l) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies,
objectives and text of the Comprehensive Plan?
Comprehensive Plan goal OF-2 and policy OF-2-A discuss the need for
sound management and coordination in the location of utilities and
community faculties.
2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure?
The proposed use is a part of the communication network utilized by
the general public. The proposed equipment will be located in such a
manner so as not to impact other public utilities or services.
3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to
be in harmony with existing or intended character of the general
vicinity?
The surrounding area is intended to be commercial in nature. The site
can be developed with a variety of commercial enterprises including
accessory storage building the size of the proposed equipment
building. The proposed wireless communication array and equipment
storage building will create little visual impact on surrounding
neighborhoods.
4) Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site
design discourage the development of permitted uses on property in
the general vicinity or impair the value thereof?
The proposed wireless array will be located on a new 70 foot Franklin
PUD utility pole. The existing utility pole with attached equipment
has not discouraged development on properties surrounding the site.
The 200 foot tall radio towers on the north side of Court Street have
likewise not discouraged development on nearby lots.
5) will the operations in connection with the proposal be more
objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes
vibrations, dust, traffic, or flashing lights than would be the
operation of any permitted uses within the district?
The proposed equipment will create no fumes, a limited amount of
noise, and no additional glare, traffic vibrations or dust. Wireless
5
communication facilities located on other sites in Pasco have not been
a source of neighborhood complaints. The wireless communication
facilities at 6701 West Court Street (500-600 feet to the northwest)
have not created any objectionable conditions for neighboring
properties.
SJ Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if
located and developed where proposed, or in anyway will become a
nuisance to uses permitted in the district?
The proposal is required to be designed by a professional engineer to
withstand the forces of nature. The proposal will benefit surrounding
properties by providing enhance cellular service to the area. The
proposed equipment building will have a heat pump/air conditioner
for maintaining a constant temperature in the building. This heat
pump may create a small amount noise. Mitigation measure such as
facing the equipment away from adjoining properties and or the
construction of a fence or wall may be needed.

Planning and Zoning Board
Re: Verizon Wireless Sterling Tower Cell Site Relocation
Dear Planning and Zoning Board;
Verizon Wireless is very interested in maintaining excellent wireless voice and data coverage for
the residents of Pasco WA. Our current network in the vicinity of Court and Road 68 streets is
serviced by our Sterling Tower cell site collocated on an AM radio station at 6701 W. Court St
Pasco WA 99302. Because Verizon Wireless is committed to maintaining the most reliable and
safest network possible I am proposing a new location for our Sterling Tower cell site.
The Sterling Tower location would not normally have been chosen as a cell site but was acquired
from Quest in a multi-site acquisition. The site is ideal from the perspective of its height and
location relative to the other cell sites in the network. However, it is unsatisfactory with respect
to several other aspects for an operational cell site.
The primary reasons for relocating the Sterling Tower cell site are follows.
I- The use of an existing AM radio tower is a safety hazard. This tower is actually a radio
antenna. The tower steel itself is the AM antenna which means it is isolated from ground
and carrying high RF currents. Our antennas and coax lines are on the tower. While
electrically this is not a problem, as it can be done using RF isolators, it is an issue for
safety. Essentially we are counting on these isolators keeping high RF currents out of our
coax lines and panels and thus out of our equipment. The cell technician must constantly
be aware of this issue and plan accordingly. This is not a common arrangement and is
easily overlooked. A failure in any of the six isolators would put the technician in harms
way and also destroy our equipment.
2- We can only work on our antennas when the radio station is turned off. The AM tower
being RF hot becomes an issue for us when maintenance is required since the AM
transmitter must be turned off and that takes the station off the air (unless they have a
backup tower). Our maintenance must then be done at night or other odd hours which is
dangerous for the tower crew and technicians. Coordination with the AM station is not
easy as they have commitments of their own which generally conflict with our best safety
practices.
3- The cell site equipment ground space is very limited. The AM tower has shallow buried
ground radials fanning out at close intervals. These radials must maintain very low loss
and good connections and thus cannot be disturbed. For this reason we cannot dig into
the ground to install a typical cell site radio shelter. Our equipment is limited to a small
above ground (mounted on a steel grate) area which cannot be expanded or updated for
future equipment. Any equipment change at this site then requires a complete study and
approval form the AM station to assure we do not interfere with the radio transmission of
their antenna structure. The added work places a burden on Verizon Wireless that we
would like to avoid.
4- The AM tower is currently structurally loaded. When we took over the existing Quest
site our structural analysis (wind loading, size and weight of our panels and coax)
predicted the tower would become overloaded with even a small change in configuration.
It may be necessary to add panels to this location in the future which will not be possible
thus causing severe implementation issues.
Relocation of an existing cell site is not taken lightly by Verizon Wireless. The cost is essentially
the same as building a new cell site and there are the issues of lease agreement fulfillment at the
existing site. After weighing the benefits to safety and our future network it has been determined
to move ahead with relocating this cell site off of the AM tower. Since the location is ideal we
have found a site basically across the street which the owners are interested in leasing space for a
new cell site. As this is a residential area we are not proposing a new tower but instead are
planning to locate our panels on a power pole to mitigate local aesthetics. The new cell
arrangement will provide a much safer and more flexible cell location which can give good
service well into the future.
To summarize, this cell site relocation is needed to resolve safety and network implementation issues.
Verizon Wireless is proposing a new location using an existing power pole be constructed and
respectfully request approval for this project.
Sincerely,
Scott Cashmore
Verizon Wireless RF Engineer

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Special Permit Location of Wireless Communications
Eguipment on PUD Power Pole (Verizon
Wireless) (6520 West Court Street) (MF# 07-
012 SP)
Chairman Samuel read the master file number and asked staff for a report.
Staff stated that notice of the hearing was published in the newspaper and
mailed to surrounding property owners.
Staff provided an overview of the proposed project and its location. Staff
explained the applicant's need for relocating existing facilities to the proposed
site and provided details regarding zoning, surrounding zoning, and adjacent
land uses. Staff outlined the code and permitting requirements for wireless
communication facilities in the C-1 zone.
Staff also noted the potential issues for this proposal. The issues included
capital facility improvements needed to comply with concurrency requirements,
needed right-of-way dedication (4ft)on Court Street, potential noise impacts due
to cooling system, the potential aesthetic impacts of the new utility pole, and
impacts from lighting on the new pole.
Chairman Samuel opened the public hearing.
Julie Cope, 2715 East 31 Avenue, Spokane, WA 99223, representing the Verizon
Wireless gave a brief explanation of the proposal and why Verizon is moving
their wireless communication facility to the proposed site. She stated the main
reasons were lack of additional capacity on the existing facility and safety of
workers during maintenance of the existing facility. Ms. Cope briefly discusses
how noise is generated by the facility. She also stated that they would be willing
to install a sound wall.
Commissioner Cruz asked Ms. Cope if there were any objection to the proposed
conditions suggested by Staff and Ms. Cope stated that the conditions were
acceptable.
Dave Fassler, 1405 66th Place, the homeowner south of the proposed location
expressed concerns regarding the aesthetics of the equipment storage building
and the noise that would be generated by air conditioning unit and generator.
Mr. Fassler also addressed some concerns regarding existing and proposed
capital facilities, namely drainage problems.
Commissioner Cruz asked Mr. Fassler if he had any specific concerns regarding
the aesthetics if the proposed equipment storage building.
Mr. Fassler stated that other than looking like an out house he had no concerns
and that with adequate sound barriers there would be no problems.
Dave A. Fassler Jr., 6512 W. Court St., stated his main concern was the noise.
He explained he owned property to the east of the proposed site and his
bedroom window will be 40 ft from proposed building. Currently, his home has
no air conditioning and they sleep with the windows open at night in summer.
He requested some kind of sound barrier be required and that no barriers be
placed on west or north side so that noise would not be deflected back towards
residences. Mr. Fassler stated that his only other concerns would be if a light
would be placed at the top of the new utility pole and if the proximity of cell
tower and equipment would interfere with his use of his wireless internet,
cordless phone, or other wireless devices.
Julie Cope responded she did not believe the FAA would require any kind of
lighting on such a short pole and that the cellular array or equipment would not
interfere with the use of any other wireless or cordless devices.
Chairman Samuel asked Mr. Fassler Jr., how much noise is currently generated
from site by the traffic coming through and the air conditioner on the coffee
stand?
Mr. Fassler Jr. stated that the traffic noise was mostly during the day and not
constant, and that noise from the air conditioning unit on the coffee stand was
not significant because the unit is small and located on the west side of the
building.
Artice fassler, 1405 66th place. She lives in the home south of the proposed site
and she just wanted to reaffirm what was previously stated by her son and
husband. Her main concern was the noise that would be generated at night.
She explained that currently, her family enjoyed quiet evenings without much
noise and would appreciate this to continue while they lived in the area. She
understood development was going to occur but would like to maintain
quietness as much as possible.
Chairman Samuel asked, if the mitigations measures that had been discussed
would address her concerns?
Mrs. Fassler stated they would.
Commissioner Cruz asked Planning Staff, if the City had any laws regarding
noise levels?
Staff noted the City has a noise ordinance that limits noise from IOPM -- 7AM to
55 decibels or less. And if the noise ordinance was violated, the violator could
become subject to appearing before the code board.
Commissioner Cruz stated that due to his experience on the code board that if
in the future the equipment were to fail and generate excessive noise,
compliance before the code board was sufficient relief to address unforeseen
impacts or concerns.
Chairman Samuel asked the applicant if she had any problems with comments
from the public or the conditions being requested by staff.
Julie Cope, stated that propose conditions were not a problem
Commissioner Schouviller, asked when the generator would be running?
Ms. Cope stated that the operators try to schedule the generator to be run
during day.
Commission Cruz asked if the proposed building would have any external
lighting.
Ms. Cope stated that if maintenance was required at night the doorway would be
lit, but otherwise there would be no lighting unless it was required.
Following three calls for additional comments Chairman Samuel closed the
public hearing.
Staff requested direction from the Commission regarding conditions of approval
for the size, location, color, and texture of the equipment building and sound
wall, the color of utility pole, and capital facility improvements.
After a brief discussion the Commission requested conditions requiring: 1) a
sound wall on the east and south side of the equipment storage building, 2) the
sound wall and equipment storage building be consistent with surrounding
development, 3) the new utility pole be painted a color consistent with existing
poles in the area, 4)capital facility improvements be completed including, but
not limited to, installation of curb, gutter, sidewalks, and road paving, 5) the
applicant provide the appropriate noise abatement, and 6) the property owner
dedicate the appropriate right-of-way for Court St. and the corner turn radius.
Commissioner Schouviller asked if a beacon would be required at the top of the
pole? And if any conditions of approval were needed if a beacon was added?
Chairman Samuel asked that a condition be in place stating that no beacon be
allowed on new utility pole and if one was required by the FAA that the height of
the pole be reduced in size sufficiently for a beacon to not be required.
Commissioner Cruz moved seconded by Commissioner Hay to close public
hearing and schedule the matter for the next Planning Commission meeting for
a decision.
The motion was unanimously approved.

0112 SP)
Chairman Samuel introduced the project and turned the floor over to Dave
McDonald.
Staff provided a brief summary of the proposal and the issues discussed during
the December 201h public hearing. The concerns voiced by the public, the
Planning Commission members, and Staff included noise from generators in the
equipment building, strobe lighting atop the utility pole, need for landscaping,
need for dedication of additional right-of-way, the installation of curb, gutter,
and sidewalk, and correcting drainage problems on 66th Place. To address these
concerns, Staff provided 11 proposed conditions of approval. The Planning
Commission reviewed the proposed conditions and stated that as written the
conditions addressed their concerns. There was no further discussion.
Commissioner Cruz moved to adopt the findings of fact and conclusion there
from as presented by staff.
Commissioner Rose Seconded the motion; motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Cruz moved the Planning Commission recommend approval of
the special permit based on the adopted findings of fact and conclusions there
from with conditions of approval as provided by Staff.
Commissioner Hayes seconded the motion; motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Samuel noted that the Planning Commission does not ultimately
approve or disapprove projects. The Commission simply provides a
recommendation to the City Council based on the record from the public
hearing.
