Premises: Utility Pole # NM 15
Adjacent to 203 Union Avenue

STATEMENT OF INTENT and
APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW BOARD APPROVAL
I. Purpose and Need
CELLCO PARTNERSHIP d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon Wireless” or the “Applicant”)
proposes the collocation of an unmanned public utility/personal wireless service facility (a
"communications facility") at the above location. More specifically, Verizon Wireless is proposing to
replace an existing wooden utility pole with an existing height of 36.4± feet (34.7± feet at the
primary electric line) with a replacement wooden utility pole with a proposed height 43.0± feet
(with a reattachment height of 40.0± feet for the primary electric line).
The Applicant proposes to install on the replacement pole: a single, cylindrical antenna
(approximately 24” tall x 14.6” in diameter) mounted at the top of the pole at a tip height of 46.4±
feet) along with the installation of electric and telecommunications equipment on the proposed
utility pole at a minimum height of 8’ above grade. The property is located in the State right-of-
way near 203 Union Avenue, City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York (Pole No. NM
15). [Zoning Site Plan Drawings of Tectonic Engineering & Surveying, PC at TAB 8]. The
proposed facility is located on the south side of the eastbound lanes of Union Avenue, next to a
parking area for the Saratoga Race Course.
Upon completion, the proposed facility will provide additional wireless network bandwidth
and improved performance to the area along Union Avenue, the Saratoga Race Course, and nearby
residential areas and will serve to replace the small cell antenna formerly located at 74 Mitchell
Street (SBL 166.70-1-17) which was approved by the Design Review Commission on June 6, 2018 by
Decision #2018.053 (copy enclosed). Upon information and belief, the building at 74 Mitchell Street
has or will be demolished as part of a redevelopment proposal.
Verizon Wireless is considered a public utility for land use purposes under New York
decisional law (Cellular Telephone Company v. Rosenberg1, 82 N.Y.2d 364 [1993]), and a provider of
“personal wireless services” under the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the “TCA”).
Verizon Wireless’ equipment will be in operation twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a
week, three hundred sixty-five (365) days a year.
1 In Rosenberg, the State’s highest Court determined that the ordinary variance standard is inapplicable and a cellular
telephone company applying for relief need only show that (1) the relief is “required to render safe and adequate
service,” and (2) there are “compelling reasons, economic or otherwise,” for needing the variance. Cellular Telephone
Company v. Rosenberg, 82 N.Y.2d 364, 372 (1993).
2
Verizon Wireless is applying for Architectural/Historic Review by the Design Review
Board.2
The proposed communications facility is unmanned and will be visited for routine
maintenance purposes approximately two times per year (only as needed). As such, the project will
not have any impact on existing water and sewage services. In addition, neither pedestrian nor
vehicular access to the premises will be impacted [see Zoning Drawings at TAB 8].
II. Compliance with City Requirements
The proposed communications facility complies in all material respects with City
requirements:
1. Site Plan: The Applicant has provided a Zoning Site Plan that identifies the
proposed improvements [TAB 8].
2. Minimum Visual Impact: As noted above, Verizon Wireless’ proposed facility is
designed to have a minimum possible visual effect on the surrounding community and
neighborhood [TABS 4 and 8]. The design is consistent with seven other small
antennas authorized by the Design Review Commission along Union Avenue in the
vicinity of the racetrack. See Notice of Decision of May 18, 2016, Decision #2016.041).
3. Right to Proceed: The Applicant has authorization from National Grid for the
installation of the equipment on the utility pole [TAB 2].
Based upon the foregoing, Verizon Wireless respectfully submits that approval is
appropriate in this case.
III. Conclusion
The communications facility proposed is a public necessity under Rosenberg in that it is
required to render adequate and safe service to this area of the City of Saratoga Springs. In an effort
to supplement existing telecommunications services to this area of the City, while reducing the
need for a new tower or macro cell collocation, Verizon Wireless has identified an appropriate
location for the deployment of a small cell facility. As noted herein, Verizon Wireless’ existing
macro cell sites in the area do not provide adequate coverage and capacity to this area of the City.
The City of Saratoga Springs will be lacking adequate and safe capacity, and the failure to approve
this application will eliminate the means to provide necessary capacity . This, combined with the
federal mandate to expeditiously deploy advanced wireless s ervices across the nation and Verizon
Wireless’ FCC licenses to provide such services in the City of Saratoga Springs, demonstrates that
Verizon Wireless’ facility is a public necessity. Without the construction of the communications
facility proposed, the public would be deprived of an essential means of communication, which, in
turn, would jeopardize the safety and welfare of the community and traveling public .
2 For the reasons set forth herein, Verizon Wireless believes that its project complies in all material respects with the
provisions of the City of Saratoga Springs Land Use Laws and, consistent with the application process established by the
City for prior Small Cell applications, that no additional approvals or relief are required. To the extent that an additional
approval or relief is required, Verizon Wireless submits these materials in support of such approval(s).
3
The small cell facility will not be noticeable to the traveling public or nearby property
owners. The communications system proposed has been sited to have the least practical adverse
visual effect on the environment, and any resulting impact(s) may properly be considered as
minimal in nature and scope.
Attached to this Application and Statement of Intent are the following:
1) An Application for Architectural/Historic Review by the Design Review Board and copies
of DRC Decisions 2018.053 and 2016.041;
2) New York State DOT Authorization for the facility;
3) A Short Environmental Assessment Form;
4) Photosimulations of the proposed installation;
5) Radio-Frequency Justification;
6) Radio-Frequency Compliance Evaluation;
7) Structural Assessment of the Proposed Utility Pole; and
8) Project Zoning Drawings.
Kindly place this matter on the agenda for discussion at the next available meeting of the
Design Review Board. In the meantime, if you should have any questions or require any additional
information concerning this project, I can be reached at (518) 438-9907.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

Flat Track Micro Cell (Replacement) Communications Facility
Radio Frequency Analysis
Verizon is proposing to add a new utility pole mounted micro cell facility across the street from 203 Union
Ave. This micro cell is needed to replace lost coverage and capacity caused by the dismantling of the
former/original Flat Track micro cell facility (decommissioned December 2021) that was mounted on the
chimney of t he home at 74 Mitchell St (owner looking to tear down the existing home). The new/relocated
micro cell is intended to restore Verizon’s coverage and capacity generally surrounding the Union Ave / East
Ave intersection, including to the Track parking and picnic areas, local and seasonal residences, Kings
Tavern and the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame . With the loss of the former 74 Mitchell St.
facility, Verizon’s existing neighboring macro and micro sites are not capable of providing reliable mobile
voice and data services, or the badly needed capacity during racing season, to the targeted improvement
area described above.
General Methodology – Network Design/Micro Cell Placement
The proposed micro cell will be installed on a new 43± ft. tall wood pole (which will replace the existing 36.4±
ft. tall wood utility pole) with a 2 ft. tall cylindrical antenna on top and connected via coaxial cable to a radio
unit placed inside an enclosure approximately 12 ft. above ground level (on the wood pole). Verizon believes
that replacing the former 74 Mitchell Ave micro cell with the proposed utility pole installation is the most
viable and nonobtrusive method to restore and improve Verizon coverage and capacity to th e area.
Verizon’s closest wireless facility to the proposed micro cell is the “Saratoga Infield” site which is mounted on
the track infield tote board, but coverage from it is blocked by the grandstands and does not provide reliable
coverage to the areas behind (north of) the grandstands (i.e., the area the former Flat Track micro cell
covered). Similarly, Verizon has two nearby microcells; one on the rooftop of the home at 151 Nelson Ave
and the other on the rooftop of the home at 101 U nion Ave. Although both are approximately ¼ mile from
the proposed facility, Verizon’s antennas are placed well below the dense tree canopy along Union Ave and
Nelson Ave, and as result coverage does not extend far enough east to improve performance in the areas
surrounding the Union Ave / East Ave intersection.
In researching the area surrounding the former 74 Mitchell St. Flat Track micro cell, the existing utility pole
adjacent to 203 Union Ave was identified as the best candidate to restore coverage, capacity and network
performance to the areas formerly served by the 74 Mitchell St. facility. The specific pole was chosen as it is
positioned along Union Ave where there are relatively few trees to block coverage to the east and across the
open areas formerly covered by the original Flat Track micro cell. Most other utility poles in the area are too
close to adjacent trees or buildings, or are disqualified from colocation based on National Grid’s pole
colocation rules and guidelines. With limited other options, Verizon is proposing to collocate its micro cell
facility on National Grid Pole # NM 15 (actual on the new pole that will replace existing Pole NM 15).
Calculated coverage from the proposed Flat Track micro cell facility is shown in the aerial map at Figure 1
below. When viewing the map, the blue-shaded area illustrates new and/or improved coverage from the
proposed facility at Verizon’s 2100 MHz frequency band, and the black dot with the green pie-shaped symbol
is the micro cell location. As the results demonstrate, the proposed micro cell will successfully fill the gap in
poor coverage and network performance generally surrounding the Union Ave / East Ave intersec tion
including the homes, parking lots, picnic and concession areas north of the grandstands, and portions of the
Oklahoma Track. When complete, mobile devices within the blue-shaded area will seamlessly connect to
the Verizon network via the Flat Track micro cell site, providing customers with reliable phone and data
connections and fast network data speeds in the area formerly served by the 74 Mitchell St micro cell.

Conclusion
In conclusion, Verizon is proposing to install a small canister antenna (measuring 24 in. high by 14.5 in.
wide) on a replacement wood utility pole (i.e., remove and replace the existing wooden utility pole) on the
track side of Union Ave (across from 203 Union Ave) with associated radio units and ancillary equipment
mounted on a 36 in. tall x 23 in. wide x 16 in. deep enclosure located 12 ft. above ground on the pole.
Verizon’s existing macro cell network in this area is unable to provide reliable coverage and sufficient
capacity since the former 74 Mitchell St micro cell (which was the original Flat Track micro cell) was
decommissioned in December 2021. The proposed facility will resolve this gap in reliable service and
capacity by restoring and improving upon the coverage area previously served by the original Flat Track
micro cell facility.

2.1) Analysis Method
O-Calc Pro (Version 6.02), a commercially available analysis software package, was used to
create a three-dimensional model of the pole to calculate the member stresses for a variety
of load combinations. A summary of this analysis is attached to the end of this report.
2.2) Assumptions
1) The pole was properly installed and maintained in good condition in accordance with its
original design and/or manufacturer’s specifications.
2) Pole wood species is similar to Southern Pine.
3) The pole is embedded into the ground as per the applicable design requirements based
on its height above grade and diameter at grade.
4) The pole has been embedded sufficiently so that its soil lateral capacity meets or
exceeds the moment capacity of the pole.
5) Attachment heights, spans, span lines, line sags, line angles, and appurtenances are
estimated based on information obtained during the site visit referenced above or via
Google Earth.
6) Line tensions are assumed to be approximately equal on either side of the line’s pole
connection.
7) All messenger lines are assumed to be a minimum diameter of 1/4” and meet or exceed
the requirement of extra high strength (EHS) galvanized strand cable.
8) The proposed secondary power line is assumed not to exceed 1000 lbs of tension.
