STATEMENT OF INTENT
APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW,
SPECIAL USE PERMIT, USE VARIANCE and ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
I. Introduction
CELLCO PARTNERSHIP d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon Wireless” or the
“Applicant”) proposes the construction of an unmanned public utility/personal wireless service
facility (a “Communications Facility”) within a 40’x 60’ fenced compound on a portion of lands
owned by D. A. Collins Development Corp. (the “Premises”). The Premises is located on Brook
Road, City of Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, in the IND-L (Light Industrial) zoning district [TABS
1 and 2; see also Zoning Site Plan of Tectonic Engineering Consultants, Geologists & Land
Surveyors, D.P.C. at TAB 14].
The proposed communications facility consists of a 120± ft. monopole tower (124± ft.
including 4 ft. lightening rod), one 12.5± ft. by 11.5± ft. equipment platform, and all associated
antennas, improvements, emergency backup generator, and access/utilities. The project is an
allowable land use subject to the Applicant obtaining a Use Variance from the City Zoning Board
of Appeals, Site Plan Review from the City Planning Board, and Architectural Review from the
Design Review Board.
Verizon Wireless is considered a public utility under New York decisional law (Cellular
Telephone Company v. Rosenberg, 82 N.Y.2d 364 (1993)) [TAB 3], and a provider of “personal
wireless services” under the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the “TCA”) [TAB 4].
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. Copies of the applicable Verizon Wireless FCC
licenses are included herewith [TAB 5].
Public utility / personal wireless service facilities such as the one proposed here are
regulated in the City of Saratoga Springs pursuant to the City’s Unified Development Ordinance
(“UDO”) Article 8.4 Section DDDDD – Wireless Telecommunications Facilities.
2
II. Purpose of Facility
This project (referred to internally as “Saratoga Quarry”) is specifically intended to
address significant coverage deficiencies in Verizon’s wireless network in the northwestern area
of the city (including along underserved portions of NY State Route 29 (NY-29 / Washington St),
NY-9N / Church St, and Grand Ave. While the proposed Saratoga Quarry facility’s main purpose
is to provide new and/or significantly improved coverage and network performance reliability
across the targeted improvement area, the site will also offload wireless devices operating in poor
RF conditions in and around the northwestern portions of Saratoga Springs from Verizon’s
neighboring sites in the city center area and the bordering Towns of Milton and Greenfield. The
end result is a more efficient and reliable wireless network across northwestern Saratoga Springs.
The current level of insufficient 4G/5G coverage in the area originates primarily from
Verizon’s existing wireless facilities called “Rte 29 & Station Ln” (located approximately 1.6 mi.
east on the 245 ft. tall guyed tower off West Ave near Saratoga Springs High School), “Milton
Center” (approximately 1.8 mi. southwest on Verizon's 125 ft. tall monopole tower off Rowland
Ave in the Town of Milton), “Ballston Spa Air” (approximately 3.0 mi. west on the 150 ft. tall
monopole tower off Sodeman Rd in Milton) and ”Greenfield Center” (approximately 3.4 mi.
northwest on the 184 ft. tall monopole tower off South Greenfield Rd in the Town of Greenfield).
Coverage is unreliable and inconsistent from all the neighboring sites described above
due to distance, topography, and patches of dense vegetation between them and the targeted
Saratoga Quarry improvement area. Heavy network usage generated in/around western
Saratoga Springs also reduces the effectiveness of Verizon's Saratoga Springs city-based
neighboring sites and prevents them from offering sufficient network capacity (which limits a
site’s ability to provide and maintain reliable voice connections and advertised data speed) to the
targeted improvement area. Accordingly, construction of a new, locally based communications
facility within the target area of the City of Saratoga Springs is required to provide a dominant
(i.e., continuous) level of wireless communications service (both voice and data) to the
surrounding area. See, Site Selection Analysis prepared by Verizon Wireless’ Site Acquisition
Specialist and RF Justification Report prepared by Verizon Wireless’ Radio Frequency (RF)
Design Engineer, detailing the purpose and need for this facility [TAB 6].
III. Description of Land Use
Verizon Wireless’ proposed communications facility consists of the following general
components: a single 120± ft. monopole tower (124± ft. including a 4 ft. lightening rod); panel
antennas mounted at 115± ft; utility services (power and landline telephone) and all associated
fixtures and appurtenances; and proposed 12 ft. wide gravel drive. The project design also
includes ground space for base station equipment and associated improvements for two
additional carriers, if other carriers collocate on the proposed facility.
As there are no existing and/or available tall structures in the search area of sufficient
height, structural capacity or availability to support Verizon Wireless’ proposed communications
facility, or existing tower sites that can be used for the “clustering” of a new tower [Site Selection
Analysis at TAB 6], a new communications tower at a new site is required.
3
The proposed facility will be a monopole tower design, equipment platform and
associated improvements will be located inside the tower yard. A six (6) foot high chain link fence
(with one foot of barbed wire) will be installed around the tower yard, to secure the tower site
and protect Verizon Wireless’ telecommunications equipment (and the equipment of other users)
from unauthorized access.
The proposed facility is unmanned, equipped with backup emergency power, and will be
visited for routine maintenance purposes approximately 1 – 3 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 will be significantly impacted.
IV. Compliance with Rosenberg Standard and Saratoga Springs Unified Development
Ordinance Requirements
A. COMPLIANCE WITH ROSENBERG STANDARD
As noted, the City of Saratoga Springs Unified Development Ordinance requires that the
applicant obtain a Use Variance for the construction of a new telecommunications tower.1 The
applicant has limited the height of this telecommunications facility to 124 ft. above ground level,
which will allow its antennas to clear all intervening terrain, structures and vegetation and
accomplish applicable coverage objectives. In this context, Applicant has mitigated the potential
visual impacts of the Communications Facility to the maximum extent practicable. As mentioned,
this height will also provide space for collocation (shared use) by additional wireless service
providers.
The Saratoga Quarry facility is necessary. The Applicant has provided expert proof in the
form of a report from its Radio Frequency (RF) Design Engineer demonstrating that (i) there is an
inadequate and unsafe level of Verizon Wireless coverage in this area of the City of Saratoga
Springs [TAB 6]; and (ii) a new Communications Facility is necessary to provide adequate and
safe hand-held coverage to this area. This report depicts the areas where coverage issues exist
and illustrates the geographic area that the communications facility needs to be located (the
“search area”) in order to provide adequate and safe signal strength and coverage to the Saratoga
Springs area [TAB 6].
In connection with this evaluation, the Applicant has retained the services of a real estate
expert working in the telecommunications field to assist in the evaluation of existing towers in
and around the search area. Based upon a thorough review of the search area, it is clear that there
are no existing, viable towers (or other tall structures) that can be used to provide adequate and
safe service to the City of Saratoga Springs area.
A propagation analysis showing the significant area of improved coverage (in-building
and mobile) that will be achieved from the proposed site is attached at TAB 6. As this analysis
demonstrates, construction of a new 120± ft. tower at this location (124± ft. when including a 4±
ft. lightning rod) will provide adequate and safe Verizon Wireless coverage to a significant
1 The City of Saratoga Springs Unified Development Ordinance does not allow a new tower to be located
in any zoning district unless a use variance is granted. UDO Article 8.4 Section DDDDD (2)(b)(iii).
4
portion of the City of Saratoga Springs. Based on the results shown in TAB 6, the significant local
terrain variations, distance to surrounding cell sites in the Verizon Wireless network and dense
mature vegetation near the site and in the surrounding community, a minimum tower height of
120± ft. (124± ft. when including a 4± ft. lightning rod) is required to satisfy applicable coverage
objectives described above.
Based upon the comprehensive evaluation completed by the Applicant’s Radio Frequency
(RF) Engineering and Real Estate experts, there are no existing towers or other tall structures of
sufficient height within the designated search area (or surrounding vicinity) that can be used by
Verizon Wireless to provide adequate and safe coverage and capacity to the Saratoga Springs
area. As the UDO requires that all new towers receive a use variance regardless of location,
Rosenberg relief is both necessary and unavoidable in this case.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH CODE REQUIREMENTS
The proposed communications facility complies in all material respects with the Saratoga
Springs Unified Development Ordinance, Wireless Telecommunications Facilities requirements:
1. Standards for Special Use Permit (UDO 13.4[E]):2 In accordance with the UDO
13.4[E] the applicant has addressed the following:
i. The special use in the specific location proposed is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and associated adopted land use policies,
and the purpose and intent of this Ordinance (UDO 13.4[E][1]). The
facility is consistent with the applicable City of Saratoga Springs
Regulations. The facility as designed will meet all required
setbacks, existing vegetation will be preserved to the maximum
extent practicable. Additionally all requirements related to
Architectural and Historic Review, Special Use Permit, and Use
Variance have been met, as demonstrated herein. The 2015
Comprehensive Plan states on pg 18 that the City has a goal of
“increased fiber optics and municipal wireless network” this site
will help the City to accomplish this goal by improving the level of
service to areas of the City.
ii. The proposed special use will not endanger the public health,
safety, or welfare (UDO 13.4[E][2]). The facility will be enclosed
with a six foot fence with barbed wire to prevent unauthorized
access and to ensure that the public cannot access the facility [TAB
14]. Additionally, the applicant has provided a Radio Frequency
Safety Report demonstrating that the facility is in full compliance
2 The Applicant recognizes that this application is governed by UDO DDDDD(2)(b)(iii) which states that
“The construction of a new telecommunication tower or facility requires a use variance, site plan review,
and architectural review is required. Historic review is required if in a historic district.” However to the
extent the City required a Special Use Permit as an additional requirement for Telecommunication
Tower/Facility applications pursuant to UDO DDDDD(2)(d)(ii) the applicant has included this request
for a Special Use Permit.
5
with the FCC regulations regarding radio frequency transmissions.
[TAB 11].
iii. The density, intensity and compatibility of the use with the
neighborhood and community character (UDO 13.4[E][3]). The
facility is proposed to be located on a large parcel which is on active
quarry and mostly treed land. Therefore the facility will be
naturally screened and have no negative impact on the
neighborhood or community character [TABS 6 and 7].
iv. Safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular access, circulation and
parking (UDO 13.4[E][4]). The facility has been designed to
accommodate vehicular access and parking via a proposed access
gravel drive. The facility will not be accessible to pedestrians as the
facility is on private property far removed from the right of way
[TAB 14].
v. Existing and future demand on infrastructure, public facilities and
services (UDO 13.4[E][5]) The facility is unmanned and rarely
visited (1-3 times per year). No infrastructure improvements,
public facilities or services are necessary for the operation of the
facility [TABS 9 and 10].
vi. The environmental and natural resources of the site and
neighboring lands including any potential erosion, flooding or
excessive light, noise, vibration and the like (UDO 13.4[E][6]). The
facility has been designed to have minimal impact on natural
resources and neighboring lands. The facility is located on a parcel
which allows for the facility to be naturally screened by existing
trees and therefor the facility will not generally be visible to
neighboring properties. Additionally, the facility will not generate
excess noise as demonstrated in the provided noise analysis.
[TABS 1, 7, and 13].
2. Standards for Site Plan Review (UDO 13.5): In accordance with the UDO 13.5 the
applicant has addressed the following:
i. Landscape Plan (UDO 13.5[G]). Due to the location of the project
the applicant is not proposing landscaping. The facility is located
on a large parcel which is mostly treed land. Due to this vegetation,
the facility will be naturally screened, and additional landscaping
is not required.
ii. Lighting Plan (UDO 13.5[H]). The facility does not have significant
lighting proposed. The proposal includes a 25W flood light which
will be mounted on the proposed equipment platform. This light
fixture is designed to illuminate the work area in and around the
equipment for the rare occasion that a technician visits in low-light
conditions, details for the proposed flood light can be seen on TAB
14 sheet C-5. Notably, the flood light is on a spring-wound timer
and automatically shuts down after a period of use.
iii. Conformity with the regulations of this Ordinance and any other
applicable regulations of the City Code, and the City’s
6
Comprehensive Plan and adopted land use policies (UDO
13.5[I][1]). The facility is consistent with the applicable City of
Saratoga Springs regulations. The facility as designed will meet all
required setbacks, existing vegetation will be preserved to the
maximum extent practicable, the facility will be enclosed.
Additionally all requirements related to Architectural and Historic
Review, Special Use Permit, and Use Variance have been met, as
demonstrated herein. The 2015 Comprehensive Plan states on pg
18 that the City has a goal of “increased fiber optics and municipal
wireless network” this site will help the City to accomplish this goal
by improving the level of service to areas of the City.
iv. Location, arrangement, size, design and general site compatibility
of buildings and sign structures (UDO 13.5[I][2]). The facility is
proposed to be located on a large parcel which is mostly treed land
associated with an operating quarry. As such, the facility, as
proposed, is compatible with the current use of the parcel [TABS 6
and 14].
v. Adequacy and arrangement of vehicular traffic access and
circulation including intersections, road widths, pavement
surfaces, dividers and traffic controls, and transit and bicycle
accommodations (UDO 13.5[I][3]). The facility as proposed will not
impact vehicular traffic. The site will not be accessible to the public
and will only be visited 1-3 times a year for maintenance purposes.
Details of the proposed gravel access drive can be found on TAB
14.
vi. Location, arrangement, appearance, and sufficiency of off-street
parking and loading (UDO 13.5[I][4]). The facility will provides
adequate parking for the occasional visit by a technician [TAB 14].
vii. Adequacy and arrangement of pedestrian traffic access and
circulation, walkway structures, control of intersections with
vehicular traffic and overall pedestrian convenience (UDO
13.5[I][5]). The proposed facility does not allow for pedestrian
access. The facility is enclosed by a 6 ft chain link fence with
additional foot of barbed wire to prevent the public from accessing
the facility [TAB 14].
viii. Adequacy of stormwater and drainage facilities with attention to
impact of structures, roadways and landscaping in areas with
susceptibility to ponding, flooding, and/or erosion (UDO
13.5[I][6]) The facility includes a proposed 12 ft wide access drive,
this proposal includes two (2) corrugated HDPE Culverts, 2:1 slope
2’ deep rip-rap lined swale, and stabilization with loam, seed and
jute mats [TAB 14, sheet C-2].
ix. Adequacy of water supply including pressure and quantity (UDO
13.5[I][7]) The facility will have no impact on water supply as the
facility is unmanned, does not require connection to the municipal
water supply and does not create a new demand for water [TAB 1].
7
x. Adequacy of sanitary sewer, including size and inverts, or
adequacy of sewerage disposal facilities including soil borings,
percolation tests, soil characteristics, and professional certification
of system adequacy (UDO 13.5[I][8]) The facility will not have an
impact on sewer systems. The facility is unmanned and does not
involve the installation of sanitary facilities [TAB 1].
xi. Adequacy and arrangement of on-site and off-site illumination
(UDO 13.5[I][9]) The facility has limited illumination, the proposal
includes a 25W flood light which will be mounted on the proposed
equipment platform. This light fixture is designed to illuminate the
area in and around the equipment, details for the proposed flood
light can be seen on TAB 14 sheet C-5.
xii. Adequacy, type, size, and arrangement of trees, shrubs and other
landscaping. Parking, service areas, and loading and maneuvering
areas must be landscaped and screened from neighboring areas
(UDO 13.5[I][10]) The facility will be naturally screened by existing
trees and vegetation. The vegetation will effectively screen the
proposed facility and proposed gravel drive from neighboring
properties. Additional landscaping unnecessary and is not
proposed [TAB 7].
xiii. Adequacy of fire lanes and other emergency zones; location and
arrangement of fire hydrants, standpipes, and other fire safety
facilities (UDO 13.5[I][11]) The proposed access road will provide
for adequate access in case of emergency and is designed to
accommodate emergency vehicles [TAB 14].
3. Standards for Telecommunication Facilities (UDO 8.4DDDDD[c]): In accordance
with the City of Saratoga Springs Unified Development Ordinance 8.4DDDDD(c) and
8.4DDDDD(d), the Applicant has addressed the following:
i. All proposed telecommunication structures must be located
on one lot (UDO 8.4DDDDD[c][i]). The facility has been
designed to comply with this requirement as the Tower and
associated equipment is proposed to be located on a single
parcel, with a portion of the access road located on a second
parcel. Both parcels are owned by related entities [TAB 14].
ii. Each freestanding telecommunication tower must be
located at a minimum setback from any lot line equal to the
height of the tower (UDO 8.4DDDDD[c][ii]). The facility has
been designed to comply with this requirement, the
proposed 124 ft. tower has a 512 ft. front setback, 128 ft. side
setback, and 492 ft. rear setback [TAB 14].
iii. Accessory structures must comply with setback
requirements of the underlying zoning district (UDO
8.4DDDDD[c][iii]). The facility has been designed to
comply with this requirement. The compound has a 495 ft.
front setback, 80 ft. side setback, and 464 ft. rear setback
[TAB 14].
8
iv. Existing on-site vegetation must be preserved to the
maximum extent possible. An inventory may be required to
document existing vegetation. No trees, measuring more
than four inches in diameter at a height of four feet off the
ground, may be cut prior to approval. Additional plantings
may be required to screen the facility from neighboring
areas (UDO 8.4DDDDD[c][iv]). The facility has been
designed to comply with this requirement by minimizing
tree clearing to the greatest extent practicable, while still
providing for meaningful natural screening of the facility.
[TAB 14].
v. The tower and accessory structures must be adequately
enclosed by a fence or other confined means to ensure the
security of the facility (UDO 8.4DDDDD[c][v]). The facility
has been designed to comply with this requirement as a 6 ft.
chain link fence with an additional foot of barbed wire is
proposed to surround the facility [TAB 14].
vi. No portion of any tower or accessory structure can be used
for a sign or other advertising purpose (UDO
8.4DDDDD[c][vi]). There will be no signs other than those
required by applicable FCC regulations and licenses which
will be attached to the fence [TAB 14].
vii. Pictorial representations of "before and after" views from
key viewpoints selected by the City (UDO
8.4DDDDD[d][i][1]). This will be discussed during the
zoning process. A visual resource evaluation will be
prepared, including simulations of the facility from
locations selected during the review process.
viii. Alternative designs, materials, finishes and color schemes
to minimize visual discord with neighboring areas (UDO
8.4DDDDD[d][i][2]). The proposed monopole design and
galvanized steel will minimize any potential visual impacts.
Upon completion of the visual resource evaluation,
discussion of alternative methods of mitigating visibility
will be evaluated.
ix. Demonstration that that the applicant has explored co-
location opportunities at existing approved
telecommunication facilities including demonstration that
such co-location is not feasible (UDO 8.4DDDDD[d][ii][1];
UDO 8.4DDDDD[d][iii][1][A]). In accordance with this
requirement, the applicant has submitted a Site Selection
Analysis demonstrating that there are no co-location
opportunities within the search ring for the proposed
facility. Accordingly a new tower is required [TAB 6].
x. An inventory of all existing telecommunication facilities
and other structures within a reasonable distance, as
determined by the Planning Board in consultation with the
9
applicant (UDO 8.4DDDDD[d][ii][2]; UDO
8.4DDDDD[d][iii][1][B]) In accordance with this
requirement the applicant has submitted a Site Selection
Analysis which demonstrates that there are no co-location
opportunities within the search ring [TAB 6].

Public Necessity
As noted above and in TABS 3 and 4, Verizon Wireless is recognized as a public utility
under New York law and a provider of personal wireless services under the federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996. This project is a public necessity in that it is required to render
adequate and safe coverage (mobile and in-building) to a significant portion of the City of
Saratoga Springs. This, combined with the federal mandate to expeditiously deploy advanced
wireless services 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.
Compelling Reasons for Approval
As is demonstrated by the Applicant’s Radio Frequency (RF) Justification, the area within
which Verizon Wireless can locate its facility and provide an adequate and safe level of service to
the Saratoga Quarry site area is limited by area requiring improved coverage and the location of
existing, nearby Verizon sites. Moreover, an evaluation by the Applicant’s real estate expert of
potential alternative sites within the search area indicates that there are no existing
communications towers or other tall structures that can be used to provide adequate and safe
service to the Saratoga Quarry site area. This investigation also concludes that the subject site,
located at an existing quarry is the most suitable candidate for a new tower facility.
The proposed communications facility is located on a large tract of land. This parcel allows
for the placement of Verizon Wireless’ facility a significant distance from adjoining properties.
This location, layout and proposed height represent the least intrusive means of providing service
to the target area. Terrain and mature vegetation (both on the Premises and in the area generally)
will serve to buffer and shield the monopole tower from view to the surrounding area and
significant portions of the coverage area. In this context, the communications facility 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.
As set forth above, the Applicant has proposed a facility that will enable Verizon Wireless
and other wireless service providers to provide adequate and safe wireless services to an
important area of the City of Saratoga Springs in accordance with their FCC licenses. In this
regard, the proposed communications facility will not give rise to an undue visual impact.
V. Conclusion
Approval of this project will enable Verizon Wireless to provide an adequate and safe
level of hand-held wireless telephone service to the target area of the City of Saratoga Springs,
within the confines of applicable technological limitations and substantially all applicable land
use requirements. Such approval will also be in the public interest, in that it will allow Verizon
11
Wireless to comply with its statutory mandate to build out its network and provide local
businesses, residents and public service entities with safe and reliable wireless communications
services. For the reasons set forth herein, Verizon Wireless respectfully submits that this project
complies in all material respects with the Rosenberg public utility variance exception standard and
the Site Plan Review, Special Use Permit, and architectural review requirements of the City of
Saratoga Springs Unified Development Ordinance, and any potential impact on the community
created by approval of this project will be minimal and of no significant adverse effect.

DOCUMENTATION OF PUBLIC UTILITY STATUS
and
OVERVIEW OF ROSENBERG DECISION
In Cellular Tel. Co. v Rosenberg, 82 NY2d 364 [1993], the New York Court of Appeals
determined that cellular telephone companies are public utilities. The Court held that proposed
cellular telephone installations are to be reviewed by zoning boards pursuant to the traditional
standard afforded to public utilities, rather than the standards generally required for the necessary
approvals:
It has long been held that a zoning board may not exclude a utility from a
community where the utility has shown a need for its facilities. There can be no
question of [the carrier’s] need to erect the cell site to eliminate service gaps in its
cellular telephone service area. The proposed cell site will also improve the
transmission and reception of existing service. Application of our holding in
Matter of Consolidated Edison to sitings of cellular telephone companies, such as
[the applicant], permits those companies to construct structures necessary for their
operation which are prohibited because of existing zoning laws and to provide the
desired services to the surrounding community. . . . Moreover, the record supports
the conclusion that [the applicant] sustained its burden of proving the requisite
public necessity. [The applicant] established that the erection of the cell site
would enable it to remedy gaps in its service area that currently prevent it from
providing adequate service to its customers in the . . . area.
Rosenberg, 82 NY2d at 372-74 (citing Consolidated Edison Co. v Hoffman, 43 NY2d 598
[(1978]).
This special treatment of a public utility stems from the essential nature of its service, and
the fact that a public utility transmitting facility must be located in a particular area in order to
provide service. For instance, water towers, electric switching stations, water pumping stations
and telephone poles must be in particular locations (including within residential districts) in order
to provide the utility to a specific area:
[Public] utility services are needed in all districts; the service can be provided
only if certain facilities (for example, substations) can be located in commercial
and even in residential districts. To exclude such use would result in an
impairment of an essential service.
Anderson, New York Zoning Law Practice, 3d ed., p. 411 (1984) (hereafter “Anderson”). See
also, Cellular Tel. Co. v Rosenberg, 82 NY2d 364 [1993]; Payne v Taylor, 178 AD2d 979 [4th
Dept 1991].
Accordingly, the law in New York is that a municipality may not prohibit facilities,
including towers, necessary for the transmission of a public utility. In Rosenberg, 82 NY2d at
371, the court found that "the construction of an antenna tower... to facilitate the supply of
cellular telephone service is a 'public utility building' within the meaning of a zoning ordinance."
See also Long Island Lighting Co. v Griffin, 272 AD 551 [2d Dept 1947] (a municipal
corporation may not prohibit the expansion of a public utility where such expansion is necessary
to the maintenance of essential services).
In the present case, Verizon Wireless does not have reliable service capacity in the Town.
The communications facility proposed is necessary to remedy this service problem and to
provide adequate and reliable wireless telecommunications service coverage to this area.
Therefore, Verizon Wireless satisfies the requisite showing of need for the facility under
applicable New York law.
DOCUMENTATION OF PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICE FACILITY STATUS
and
FEDERAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996
In addition to being considered a public utility under New York decisional law, Verizon
Wireless is classified as a provider of “personal wireless services” under the federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the “TCA”).
As stated in the long title of the Act, the goal of the TCA is to “promote competition and
reduce regulation in order to secure lower prices and higher quality services for American
telecommunications consumers and encourage the rapid deployment of new telecommunications
technologies.” Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. LA. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (1996).
The TCA mandates a process designed to achieve competitive telecommunications
markets. In keeping with the central goals of the TCA, the authors specify in Section 253(a) that
“[n]o State or local statute or regulation…may prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the ability
of any entity to provide any interstate or intrastate telecommunications service.” TCA Section
253(a), emphasis added.
Section 332(c) of the TCA preserves the authority of a State or local government or
instrumentality thereof over decisions regarding the placement, construction and modification of
personal wireless service facilities, subject to several important limitations:
the “regulation of the placement…of personal wireless service facilities by any
State or local government or instrumentality thereof shall not unreasonably
discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services” (TCA
§332(c)(7)(B)(i)(I));
the “regulation of the placement…of personal wireless service facilities by any
State or local government or instrumentality thereof shall not prohibit or have the
effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services” (TCA
§332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II));
Applications must be processed within a reasonable period of time, and any
decision to deny a request for placement of personal wireless service facilities must
be in writing and supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record
(TCA §§332(c)(7)(B)(ii) and (iii)); and
regulations based upon the perceived environmental effects of radio frequency
emissions are prohibited, so long as the proposed personal wireless service facility
complies with FCC regulations concerning such emissions (TCA
§332(c)(7)(B)(iv)).
A reference copy of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 is included herewith.

SITE SELECTION ANALYSIS
Verizon Wireless proposes to install and operate a new wireless telecommunications
facility, including a new tower structure, which will include associated antennas, equipment
platform and related appurtenances off Brook Road in the City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga
County, New York. The property, which is in the City’s IND-L (Light Industrial) zoning district, is
currently a 22.50-acre lot. The property is owned by the D.A. Collins Development Corp which is
mostly vacant treed land. Our subject site is setback to the east from Brook Road into the existing
tree canopy on the parcel.
1. NEED FOR FACILITY
(a) Problem
The process of identifying a technologically appropriate location, as well as the need for
this communications facility are provided in the RF SEARCH RING JUSTIFICATION. As
indicated in that report, when a Verizon Wireless Radio Frequency Engineer identifies coverage
gaps in the system or sites that have or will reach data capacity exhaustion, they issue a “search
area.” A search area is a geographical area located within the inadequately serviced area, and it
is designed such that if a wireless telecommunications facility is located within the search area,
and at an appropriate height, it will likely provide the required coverage. For the most part ,
locations outside of the search area will fail to provide adequate service to the cell. Due to
technological constraints, there is limited flexibility as to where a new facility can be located and
still function properly. The goal of the search area is to define the permissible location for
placement of a cell site that will provide adequate service in the subject cell and also work properly
as part of the overall network.
(b) Solution
A search area was developed based on the problems identified in the Verizon Wireless
network and is attached herein as Attachment 1. This is the geographical area within which a
new wireless telecommunications facility is likely to provide the required coverage (at an
appropriate height). In this case, the search area parameter is an oval shape extending just east
of Brook Road and north of Washington Street / State Route 29. Again, for the most part, locations
outside of the search area will fail to provide adequate service to the cell while locations within
are likely, but not guaranteed, to do so.
2. SEARCH RING ANALYSIS
(a) Geography & Topography
The “Saratoga Quarry” search ring is in a mostly flat geographic area with a small knoll in
the middle of the middle ring.
(b) Land Use
The Search Ring is made up of industrial type businesses and vacant treed property along
Brook Road. Attachment 2 is an overlay of the Search Ring and the tax map on an aerial
photograph of the area.

3. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
(a) Collocation
Verizon Wireless routinely seeks to install its antennas and equipment on existing
communications towers or other tall structures (“collocation”). Local communities universally favor
collocations because they can minimize the number of wireless telecommunications towers in an
area and many municipalities even provide a streamlined application review process. Collocation
is often listed as the highest siting priority in a local municipality’s Zoning Law. In addition to the
streamlined zoning application process, collocation is preferred by wireless providers because it
is generally a less expensive and more efficient option, compared to installation of a new tower
facility.
(b) New Structure on Municipally owned Property
As its next priority, Verizon Wireless seeks to locate wireless telecommunication facilities
on municipally owned property. These locations are often preferred by municipalities as the
second preference behind collocation as it allows municipalities to benefit from a rental stream
for the leased premises.
(c) New Structure on Privately-owned Property
When it is not feasible to collocate on an existing tower or tall structure, and there are no
feasible municipally owned properties in the area, Verizon Wireless must find a privately-owned
site which is appropriate for and can accommodate a new communications structure. In doing so,
the Site Acquisition Specialist attempts to identify properties in the Search Area large en ough to
accommodate the facility and which also meet any required area requirements such as set back
and fall zone. In addition, other characteristics such as existing compatible land use and existing
mature vegetation that can screen the facility are considered. Access, land use, constructability,
the presence of wetlands, floodplains and other contributing factors are also examined.
4. SEARCH RING ANALYSIS
Telecommunications towers are regulated by the City of Saratoga Springs’s Uniform
Development Ordinance (“UDO”) which regulates Telecommunication Facilities and Towers
(“Towers”) pursuant to §8.4. Table 8-a – Use Matrix identifies that “Wireless
Telecommunications Facilities” are allowed in all Districts subject to the standards of Section
8.4. Wireless Telecommunications Facilities are regulated by Section 8.4-DDDDD. Under 8.4-
DDDDD(2)(b)(iii), The construction of a new telecommunication tower or facility requires use
variance, site plan review and architectural review.
The preference of the City is to collocate on an existing telecommunication tower or other tall
structures.
After a comprehensive investigation of the Search Ring; no technologically feasible towers or tall
structures were available for collocation in the area. This Search Ring is zoned IND-L (Light
Industrial), which allows for the siting of new Telecommunications towers via use variance, site
plan review and architectural review.

5. CANDIDATE/ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
There were two (2) parcels identified as being potential candidates for a new
communications facility within this search area. These parcels are identified on Attachment 2
with a red dot and the letters “A” and “B”. A summary of each of these properties located within
the Search Area is detailed below.
(a) D.A. Collins Development Corp (Parcel ID# 164.-2-43.1) - Primary Candidate
This subject site parcel is located off of Brook Road in the City of Saratoga Springs and
is 22.50 acres in size. The large parcel is mostly undeveloped vacant land. The property does
have an existing access/curb cut into the property from Brook Road for the use of an employee
parking lot. This property is located in the center of the search ring, is larger in size, has an
existing curb cut and is a bit higher in elevation than the other parcel. Our subject site is setback
to the east from Brook Road into the existing tree canopy on the parcel to minimize visibility of
the proposed facility. The property owner expressed a leasing interest and was able to come to
business terms with VZW. This location was approved and is the primary candidate for Verizon
RF.
(b) D.A. Collins Construction Co, Inc (Parcel ID# 164.-2-40)
This subject site parcel is located off of State Route 29 / Washington Street in the City of
Saratoga Springs, is 10.67 acres in size and is currently vacant treed land. This property is the
only other property within the search ring. This property owner is the same owner as the
Candidate A parcel, an entity of D.A. Collins. Since there is an existing driveway/curb cut into
the other property (Candidate A) off of Brook Road, and is not a State Route entrance, like State
Route 29/Washington Street would be; VZW and D.A. Collins decided it was best to use the
parcel off of Brook Road. Also, the Candidate A parcel has a bit more elevation than this parcel.
The proposed access road to the proposed tower itself does encroach onto this parcel in a small
arc for approximately 119’. Due to the grade and terrain of the area the proposed access road
needed to be designed with the small arc extending onto this parcel.
5. CONCLUSION
Based on the requirements of the City of Saratoga Springs Uniform Development
Ordinance (“UDO”), the existing conditions and land use within the search ring, two (2) parcels or
locations were identified for consideration. For these reasons listed above, the primary candidate,
Candidate A, is the best location for the proposed facility.

RF JUSTIFICATION
PROPOSED “SARATOGA QUARRY” COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY
CITY OF SARATOGA SPRINGS, SARATOGA COUNTY, NY
Cellco Partnership, d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”) proposes to construct, operate
and maintain a new wireless telecommunications facility on property owned by DA Collins Dev
Corp, located off Brook Rd in the City of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County NY (120± ft.
monopole tower with a 4± ft. lightning rod) (Tax Map # 164.-2-43.1 & 164.-2-40) in the Light
Industrial (IND-L) Zoning District.
This proposed facility (referred to internally as “Saratoga Quarry”) is specifically
intended to address significant coverage deficiencies in Verizon’s wireless network generally in
the northwestern area of the city (including along underserved portions of NY State Route 29
(NY-29 / Washington St), NY-9N / Church St, and Grand Ave.
This report described the proposed Saratoga Quarry site’s coverage objectives, the
search ring area, and tower height considerations for this project.
Saratoga Quarry Area of Northwestern Saratoga Springs –
Targeted Verizon Wireless Coverage Improvement Area and Site Location
Proposed “Saratoga Quarry” Wireless Facility -- Introduction and Background
Information
Coverage and/or capacity deficiencies are the two primary driving conditions that
typically prompt the need for a new wireless communications facility/site. All sites provide
capacity and coverage for the benefit of wireless customers and emergency services.
Coverage can be defined as the existence of a radio frequency signal of usable strength,
quality, and capacity in a given area (including into vehicles and buildings) that a mobile device
can decode and use to communicate with a nearby cell site. In areas that are well covered,
mobile devices are able to easily connect and maintain a reliable wireless connection with a
nearby neighboring cell site(s) and local wireless network.
Capacity can be defined as the amount of traffic (voice and data connections) a given
site can process before significant performance degradation occurs.
When traffic (wireless network usage) volume exceeds the capacity limits of a site
serving a given area, network reliability and user experience degrades. Ultimately this prevents
customers from making/receiving calls, applications from functioning, internet connections from
functioning, and data speeds fail. This critical condition is more important than just a simple
nuisance for some users. Degradation of network reliability can inhibit emergency responders’
ability to communicate in critical times and can result in the difference between life and death to
persons in emergency situations.
Although the proposed Saratoga Quarry facility’s main purpose is to provide new and/or
significantly improved coverage and network performance reliability across the targeted
improvement area, the site will also offload wireless devices operating in poor RF conditions in
and around the northwestern portions of Saratoga Springs from Verizon’s neighboring sites in
the city center area and the bordering Towns of Milton and Greenfield. The end result is a more
efficient and reliable wireless network across northwestern Saratoga Springs.
The wireless communications industry is governed by the Rules of the FCC. The FCC
requires each carrier to provide “substantial service” in its licensed service area or risk having its
license revoked (CFR 47, Parts § 22.940 and § 24.16).
The FCC defines “substantial service” as service which is sound, favorable, and
substantially above a level of mediocre service.
Note that while Verizon provides sufficient evidence to establish the existence of gaps in
coverage and capacity needs in this case, the FCC has confirmed that federal law does not
require a provider to establish the existence of a coverage/capacity gap to establish the need for
a site. There are several ways by which an applicant can establish site need. See “Accelerating
Wireless Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment,” FCC 18-
133, 85 FR 51867, at ¶ 37 (October 15, 2018) (confirming that the test for establishing an
effective prohibition is whether “a state or local legal requirement materially inhibits a provider’s
ability to engage in any of a variety of activities related to its provision of a covered service,” and
this test is met “not only when filling a coverage gap but also when densifying a wireless
network, introducing new services or otherwise improving service capabilities”) (emphasis
added).
Before proceeding to the coverage and performance improvement objectives for the
proposed Saratoga Quarry facility, it is worth explaining several key points that help with
understanding the radio-frequency (RF) related information contained in the rest of this
document.
Coverage Maps and Propagation Studies:
Existing and proposed new reliable coverage in a given area is best conveyed via
coverage maps. RF engineers use computer RF propagation simulation tools (Verizon uses a
top industry propagation modeling and network planning software package called Atoll;
developed by 3rd party supplier Forsk) which account for terrain, vegetation, buildings, and
miscellaneous other natural and man-made obstacles (or “clutter”) that RF signals encounter
along the radio frequency path between cell site and wireless mobile devices. The RF signal
degradation/attenuation that occurs due to propagation through, over and around these
obstacles when used in conjunction with wireless carrier-specific site/network operational
parameters affords the ability to model the RF environment and accurately predict the received
signal level at any point in the area under study.
Propagation modeling is used to simulate the real-world network and assist RF
Engineers (along with industry experience and other tools) in evaluating the effectiveness of a
proposed new site and its impact on the existing network. While in the past, drive test data and
drop call records were relied upon for service evaluation, network design, performance
evaluation, and development needs have become too complex to rely on such antiquated
methods. Furthermore, these methods are simple not an effective means of visually
communicating gaps (need) in coverage or capacity for 4 and 5G networks.
Also of note, although exclusively regulated by the FCC and subject to market
adjustment as needed, all propagation maps in this RF Justification document are generated
using maximum radio output power (unless the power must be reduced to maintain compliance
with maximum output power levels defined in Verizon’s FCC licenses).
Verizon’s Operational Frequency Bands:
From an operational perspective, Verizon’s wireless network uses several distinct
frequency bands. Each of these frequency bands (also referred to as channels) are licensed by
the FCC and are deployed in varying ways to maximize their effectiveness.
Verizon’s main coverage bands are the relatively low frequency 700 MHz and 850 MHz
bands that are currently used for 4G LTE (700 MHz) and 5G (850 MHz). Because of the
advantageous propagation characteristics of the 700/850 MHz frequency bands, these channels
are used to form somewhat of an umbrella coverage layer as signals at these frequencies
enable wireless network connectivity over greater distances. Although voice and data can be
transmitted over these channels, their primary function is to offer a ubiquitous coverage layer for
reliable traditional mobile voice services (including 911 and texting). These low-band channels
will be used to provide as much reliable coverage as possible across the Saratoga Quarry site’s
targeted improvement area, both inside and outside of the surrounding homes, businesses, and
vehicles traveling thru the area.
Verizon also owns FCC licenses in higher frequency bands including 1900 MHz PCS
(Personal Communications Services) and 2100 MHz AWS (Advanced Wireless Services); thee
channels are referred to as “mid-band”. These mid-band channels offer more bandwidth (which
equates to increased capacity/data throughput and better performance) than the 700 MHz and
850 MHz bands, but because they are located higher up in the frequency spectrum, wireless
coverage is limited and signals in these bands do not travel as far as 700/850 MHz signals
(meaning signals of equal strength transmitted from a given wireless facility can be received and
decoded at greater distances in the 700/850 MHz bands than at the higher AWS/PCS
frequencies). These AWS/PCS bands, although somewhat limited in coverage distance,
provide capacity relief to the 700/850 MHz channels by allowing users close to each cell site to
access Verizon’s network via the AWS/PCS channels, enabling the 700/850 MHz channels to
provide coverage to mobile devices beyond those covered by the AWS/PCS frequency
channels. Also, since Verizon owns larger chunks of FCC licensed spectrum in the AWS and
PCS bands, these bands are used to provide customers with high-speed 4G internet access
due to the increased available bandwidth. These bands will eventually be repurposed and
converted to 5G as 5G usage begins to match and surpass 4G demand. Lastly, these channels
will be used to provide as much mid-band coverage as possible to as many homes and
businesses as possible across the targeted improvement area, which will offer reliable high
speed internet access to those customers.
As technology and mobile device capabilities evolved, customer demand for faster
download speeds continued to explode. To meet this demand, the FCC auctioned off additional
spectrum in the 3500 MHz band so that wireless carriers could begin to roll out new 5G services
without having to reuse capacity-limited 700/850 MHz, AWS and PCS bands currently used for
4G services. Verizon acquired several FCC licenses in the 3500 MHz (C-Band) frequency band
which are being used exclusively to deploy high speed 5G services. Verizon began rolling out
its 5G network nationwide in 2022, which consists of adding 5G radios and antennas to existing
wireless facilities. This 3500 MHz 5G rollout began in the Saratoga area in January 2022. 5G
C-band will be deployed at the proposed Saratoga Quarry site, offering ultra-wideband high-
speed data and other 5G services to those served by it.
From a coverage analysis perspective for the Saratoga Quarry site, the coverage results
demonstrated in this document use only the 700/850 MHz band since Verizon’s 700/850 MHz
network offers a best-case coverage scenario.
Evolving Wireless Network Deployment Strategies and Considerations:
To conclude this background section, is important to note the evolution in wireless
customer expectations and the demand for more data delivered at extremely fast upload and
download speeds. As technology continues to advance to AI and 5G and our handheld mobile
devices are able to do far more than simply place and receive phone calls and send text
messages, wireless subscriber habits have followed as customers expect to have access to fast
and reliable internet connections in places where they live, work and play so they can view
traffic data and find the fastest route to work or home, request an Uber ride and monitor driver
movement to the pickup location, host or attend meetings via Zoom or WebEx, stream videos
and music, watch tv and movies on streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and Peacock, listen to
podcasts, etc.
The graphics in the Wireless 4G/5G Safety and Growth and Reliable and Critical
Communications charts below provide additional information on the importance of reliable
wireless data access, its integration into our day-to-day lives and activities, and summarizes
how wireless data usage has evolved.
As a result of this wireless data services and capabilities evolution, it is now practical for
wireless service providers like Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T to compete with traditional cable and
“wired” in-home internet companies like Spectrum, affording customers (assuming located
within solid mid-band coverage) the option to completely cut-the-cord and receive both reliable
high speed home internet and mobile voice and data on their wireless service plan. As network
features and customers’ expectations continue to evolve so do the difficulties that companies
like Verizon face in overcoming the challenges of providing high bandwidth (i.e., mid-band)
wireless signals deep into customer homes, business, entertainment venues, etc.
To overcome these significant challenges, wireless service providers need to develop
new wireless facilities closer and closer to homes and suburban communities to serve
customers wanting competitive high-speed internet service plan options or simply want to cut-
the-cord from traditional “wired” home internet and cable.
Tying this information back to the proposed tower, ultimately the objective of the
Saratoga Quarry site is:
• to provide reliable mobile voice services (including 911 emergency services access)
first and foremost, both in-home and in-vehicle.
• Second is to provide as much new mid-band coverage as is feasible from the
proposed site to offer reliable high-speed internet and data to as many customers as
possible in the northwestern portions of Saratoga Springs and the surrounding
community (the more area covered by the proposed site will lead to fewer future fill in
sites).
• The third important objective is to route as many customers as possible thru the
proposed Saratoga Quarry facility from within the targeted improvement area,
effectively removing this network usage from relatively-distant neighboring sites and
allowing them to better serve customers within their intended coverage area
(resulting in improved network capacity and a better wireless experience throughout
western Saratoga Springs).
Proposed “Saratoga Quarry” Site - Coverage and Performance Improvement
Objectives
Deployment of the proposed Saratoga Quarry cell site is an important step in Verizon’s
long-term plan to provide safe (including E-911 capability), reliable and uninterrupted wireless
telecommunications coverage to the main travel routes and population centers in Saratoga
County (in this specific case, along main passthrough routes NY-29 (Washington St) and NY-9P
(Church St), including into the homes and along many local/neighborhood roads generally in the
area of northwestern Saratoga Springs bounded by Daniels Rd to the north, West Ave to the
east, Grand Ave to the south and the Saratoga Springs / Milton town line to the west.
The current level of insufficient 4G/5G coverage in the area originates primarily from
Verizon’s existing wireless facilities near the city center and in the neighboring Town of Milton.
The nearest Verizon sites are:
• “Rte 29 & Station Ln” – approximately 1.6 mi. east on the 245 ft. tall guyed tower
off West Ave near Saratoga Springs High School,
• “Milton Center” -- approximately 1.8 mi. southwest on Verizon's 125 ft. tall
monopole tower of Rowland Ave in the Town of Milton,
• “Ballston Spa Air” -- approximately 3.0 mi. west on the 150 ft. tall monopole tower
off Sodeman Rd in Milton, and
• “Greenfield Center” – approximately 3.4 mi. northwest on the 184 ft. tall monopole
tower off South Greenfield Rd in the Town of Greenfield.
Coverage is unreliable and inconsistent from all the neighboring sites described above
due to distance, topography, and patches of dense vegetation between them and the targeted
Saratoga Quarry improvement area. Heavy network usage generated in/around western
Saratoga Springs also reduces the effectiveness of Verizon's Saratoga Springs city-based
neighboring sites and prevents them from offering sufficient network capacity (which limits a
site’s ability to provide and maintain reliable voice connections and advertised data speed) to
the targeted improvement area.
Existing Wireless Coverage in the Northwestern Portions of Saratoga Springs
Existing reliable coverage in the targeted performance improvement area is displayed in
the coverage maps at Exhibit 1 (attached to this report, where Exhibit 1a is a street map and
Exhibit 1b is the same coverage layer but with an aerial map as the base layer). As these
maps demonstrate, there are significant portions in and around the northwestern portions of the
city that are lacking reliable wireless coverage.
When viewing the maps at Exhibit 1:
• the proposed site location is the small circle with the green sector symbols labeled
“Saratoga Quarry”
• existing (on-air) Verizon sites are the locations with blue sector symbols
• the red boundary generally outlines the targeted coverage and network performance
improvement area
• existing -95 dBm level coverage in Verizon’s 700/850 MHz band (or low-band) is
depicted by blue-grey shaded coverage layer, and
• areas with tan background (on the street map) are outside the -95 dBm coverage
boundary and are in need of new and/or improved wireless service.
As noted in the Background section at the beginning of this report, coverage in the
700/850 MHz band demonstrates the best-case coverage scenario, and in this case represents
the areas where a reasonable level of reliable rural in-home / in-vehicle wireless service is
expected. Also note that varying levels of wireless service are likely available in areas outside
of the coverage boundary (i.e., where received signal strength is less than the -95 dBm
threshold), but coverage in these areas is not considered reliable and is likely too weak to
consistently or adequately reach inside of homes and certain vehicles in or traveling thru the
area.
Wireless Coverage Improvements from the Proposed “Saratoga Quarry” Wireless Facility
To resolve the wireless coverage and network performance gap areas in / around
northwestern Saratoga Springs, Verizon is proposing to develop its Saratoga Quarry site on DA
Collins property near the center of the targeted improvement area and approximately
equidistant from Verizon’s neighboring facilities Rte 29 & Station Ln, Milton Center and Ballston
Spa Air.
The Saratoga Quarry cell site’s coverage objectives are to provide new and/or improved
emergency and non-emergency 4G/5G wireless coverage across northwestern Saratoga
Springs, including 2.1± miles along NY-29, 1.7± miles along NY-9P, 1.6± miles along Grand Ave,
1.0± miles along Brock Blvd, 1.1± miles along Locust Grove Rd, and extending over more than
5 miles along many local and neighborhood roads (e.g., Buff Rd, Westbury Dr, Woodbridge Ct,
Slade Rd, Sherwood Trail, Friar Tuck Way, Jenee Way, King Arthur Ct, Knight Way, Round Table
Rd, Meadow Vista Estates, etc., to name a few), and into the homes and local businesses
across the targeted improvement area.
Calculated low-band 700/850 MHz coverage from the proposed new facility at an
antenna center line (“ACL”) height of 115 ft. is illustrated by the green regions at attached
Exhibit 2.
As the 700/850 MHz results in Exhibit 2 demonstrate:
• reliable wireless coverage will be extended across the majority of the targeted
improvement areas described previously
• when complete, most if not all Verizon customers accessing and connecting to its
wireless network from within the green-shaded area shown in Exhibit 2 will be
routed through and remain connected to the proposed Saratoga Quarry facility, in
effect resolving the issue of poor and unreliable service across the targeted
improvement area,
• And finally, by providing a dedicated site to serve wireless customers generally within
and passing through the green-shaded area, this somewhat distant, poorly-covered
and difficult to reach network traffic (usage) is removed from Verizon’s surrounding
sites attempting to reach northwestern Saratoga Springs (particularly from the
downtown Saratoga Springs area), resulting in better performance within each
neighboring site’s localized coverage area.
To summarize, from a Verizon ongoing regional network performance improvement
perspective, this project provides a necessary and critical upgrade of the Verizon’s 4G network
in Saratoga Springs, and will be designed to include new advanced 5G wireless equipment and
services. As a result, and upon completion, significant improvements in reliable 4G and 5G
services will be extended across the northwestern portions of the city including the nearby
homes, businesses and several main, local and community roads.
Proposed Site Placement and Candidate Evaluation
Why This Location Was Chosen
The proposed Saratoga Quarry site location was selected after considering several
important factors including the underserved coverage areas at and surrounding northwestern
Saratoga Springs (as shown in the coverage maps at Exhibit 1), local terrain and vegatation,
the limited number of feasible site placement options, and the goal of locating a property from
which a new wireless facility is capable of providing as much reliable seamless wireless
coverage as possible across the targeted network improvement area from a tower of reasonable
height.
Considering the above, the hilltop east of Brook Rd across from Pallatte Stone Corp's
mining operation was chosen for its relatively high terrain (the targeted hill is generally 50 ft. - 70
ft. higher in ground elevation than the relatively flat plataue between the proposed site and
downtown Saratoga Springs) and ability to achieve the stated network improvement objectives
from a reasonable tower height.
The map at Figure 1 below is intended to help visualize this hilltop's adventageous
location relative to the local terrain, and why a wireless facility placed on it is able to effectively
transmit coverage radially across northwestern Saratoga Springs.
Figure 1. Topographical Map of Northwestern Saratoga Springs and the Surrounding Area Including
the Proposed Saratoga Quarry Tower Targeted Hilltop Location
Note when viewing the map in Figure 1 above that the red arrows depict the pointing
angles of Verizon's antenna on the proposed tower. From these orientations, the antennas are
able to maintain visibility to:
• the north/northwest along NY-9P crossing into the Town of Greenfield toward
Greenfield Center,
• the residential areas to the east and south,
• and along NY-29 thru northwestern Saratoga Springs and further west into the
Townf of Milton.
Candidate and Site Selection Process
Verizon’s real estate and engineering teams followed a structured evaluation process
before selecting the proposed site.
Step 1 – Look for Existing Structures to Share (Co-location)
Before proposing a new tower, Verizon always looks for tall existing structures — such
as water tanks, communications towers or tall buildings — where antennas could be added. In
this case, the only tall structures nearby are the same towers and rooftops already in use by
Verizon, and all of them are too far away to adequately serve the Saratoga Quarry area
coverage gap. No suitable co-location option exists closer to the problem area.
Step 2 – Select the Best New Tower Location
With no existing structures available, Verizon evaluated candidate properties within the
targeted area. The DA Collins property was selected for several reasons:
• It sits on a thickly-treed hilltop, allowing signals to reach neighborhoods and roads
across the majority of northwestern Saratoga Springs without causing significant
interference into the city center area to the east.
• Mature trees surrounding the tower location naturally screen the ground equipment and
majority of the tower from view.
• The site location is relatively close to existing commercial utility connections along Brook
Rd, reducing construction impact.
• Its location is approximately centered within the coverage gap — roughly equidistant
from several existing neighboring Verizon cell sites to the east, south and west —
making it the most effective position for new coverage.
Additional details on the site selection process are provided in the Site Selection
Analysis document dated April 16, 2026 and included in Verizon’s zoning application package.
Tower Height
Verizon’s antennas must be placed at a height where the desired Saratoga Quarry site’s
objectives are satisfied with the goal of minimizing the aesthetic impact to the surrounding
community.
Considering the above, Verizon is proposing a 120 ft. tall monopole tower with antennas
mounted at the 115 ft. antenna centerline (ACL) height on the tower.
With a 120 ft. tower:
• Verizon's coverage and network performance improvement objectives are met.
• Verizon’s antennas are high enough to sufficiently clear the surrounding tree canopy
and other local-area clutter (elevation changes, distant trees and buildings, etc.).
• A reasonable level of future tree growth both near the proposed tower and
throughout northwestern Saratoga Springs can occur without significantly impacting
coverage.
• allows space for future collocation by other wireless service providers that are likely
also looking to improve their wireless coverage in northwestern Saratoga Springs
• the overall tower height is under the level requiring lighting or special tower
markings, and
• the thick surrounding canopy masks all of Verizon's ground equipment and the
majority of the tower structure.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the proposed 120-foot wireless communications facility located on the
property owned by DA Collins needed to bring reliable 4G and 5G wireless service to an
underserved area of northwestern Saratoga Springs. The location was chosen after a thorough
review of alternatives and offers the best combination of coverage, natural visual screening, and
minimal site disturbance.
Upon completion, the tower will benefit local residents, businesses, commuters, and
emergency responders by providing dependable phone, data, and 911 access in an area that
currently lacks it.

SITE NAME: SARATOGA QUARRY
BROOK ROAD, CITY OF SARATOGA SPRINGS, SARATOGA COUNTY, NY 12866
TECTONIC W.O. 12396.068
Dear Ms. Pomponio:
Verizon Wireless is proposing a telecommunication facility at the above referenced address. The site includes the
installation of a Verizon Wireless antenna array at a centerline height of 115’ above ground level (AGL) on a 120’
monopole (overall height of 124’ when including the 4’ lightning rod). The monopole will be designed to
accommodate antenna arrays for three (3) additional carriers in addition to the proposed Verizon Wireless
installation. The structural loading for each future carrier will include up to twelve (12) panel antennas along with
remote radio units and other related equipment. The make, model, and manufacturer of the proposed monopole
will be provided as part of the construction documents to be submitted for the building permit application.
For the purpose of structural design of the monopole, foundation and antenna supports, the most stringent
criteria of the 2025 Building Code of New York State and ANSI/TIA -222-I-2023 “Structural Standard for Antenna
Supporting Structures and Antennas and Small Wind Turbine Support Structures” will be applied. The proposed
installation will be designed by a New York State licensed professional engineer and will meet all of the above
listed criteria. The monopole will be designed to resist overturning, shear, and all other failure modes. The
monopole will be designed so that in the event of a failure the monopole will fall within a fall zone setback of 124’.
For the purpose of lightning protection, the tower, antennas, cabling, ground equipment, utility equipment,
fencing, and all related objects will be grounded in accordance with the NEC/NFPA 780, ANSI/TIA -222-I-2023, and

Re: Verizon Wireless “Saratoga Quarry ” Communications Facility
Dear Members of the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals and Design Review Board:
With respect to the above, Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless ("Verizon") proposes to
construct a public utility / personal wireless service facility that is designed with capacity for
collocation (shared use) by three (3) additional wireless providers having panel antenna arrays
comparable to those of Verizon Wireless. Should the public utility / personal wireless service
facility be approved and constructed, Verizon Wireless, as the facility owner, will negotiate in good
faith with other licensed wireless service providers for future shared use of the subject structure. All
future collocations shall be subject to the involved parties reaching agreement on reasonable terms
and conditions, in accordance with all then-applicable agreements, customs and procedures in
the wireless industry, and there being adequate structural capacity and space to accommodate such
collocation.
The applicant’s proposed wireless telecommunications facility shall be maintained in a safe
manner and in compliance with all conditions of the site plan review without exception, unless
specifically granted relief, as well as all applicable local codes, ordinances and regulations,
including any and all applicable county, state and federal laws, rules and regulations. Verizon
Wireless (or the then-current tower owner) will remove the telecommunications tower
and all related facilities (footings and foundations excluded) if the communications facility
becomes obsolete or ceases to be used for its intended purpose by all existing colocators for
a period exceeding four (4) consecutive months. In such event, Verizon Wireless (or the
then-current tower owner) will remove the tower and all communications facility equipment. In
addition, Verizon offers to post a removal bond in the amount of $75,000 to secure its
obligations to remove the tower/facility.
Thank you for considering our application.

1. Executive Summary
Verizon Wireless has contracted with Circet USA, an independent Radio Frequency consulting firm, to determine
if the proposed telecommunications facility is in compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules and regulations regarding RF exposure as defined in 47 CFR § 1.1307(b) and 1.1310. This document and the
conclusions herein are based on the information provided by representatives of Verizon Wireless which is assumed
to be true and correct.
All information used in this report was analyzed to determine compliance in publicly accessible areas, in particular
at ground level. The analysis evaluates the telecommunications facility with respect to the General
Population/Uncontrolled Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits. Circet USA has taken into consideration
the Verizon Wireless antenna system as well as any existing antenna systems at the subject location.
Verizon Wireless final antenna count is (9) antenna.
Based on the analysis, Circet USA has determined that:
Verizon Wireless is compliant in all publicly accessible areas with the FCC rules and regulations governing human
exposure to RF electromagnetic fields as described in 47 CFR § 1.1307(b) and 1.1310.
With the proposed Verizon Wireless antenna configuration in service, the composite exposure from this facility in
all areas at ground level will be less than 1% of the General Population MPE limit, or over 100 times less than the
maximum allowed exposure in publicly accessible areas.

3. Analysis
Circet USA has included the Verizon Wireless antenna system at the subject location in the
analysis. All existing and proposed antennas are listed in the antenna table above. Engineering
assumptions were used when specific antenna or operating parameter information was not
available for the other existing collocated antennas (if applicable).
Using this data, software modeling using IXUS software was performed for all transmitting
antennas located at the site. Circet USA has assumed a 100% duty cycle and maximum radiated
power. The site has been modeled with these assumptions to determine the maximum potential
RF energy density at ground level. Circet USA
on the best available data.
As stated previously, based on this analysis, the calculated ground level exposure from the
Verizon Wireless antenna system alone is less than 1% of the General Population MPE limit.
Keep in mind that the FCC did not arbitrarily establish their own standards but rather adopted
the recommendations of national and international organizations such as the National Council
on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). These
recommendations were developed by expert scientists and engineers following extensive
evaluation of the potential biological effects from RF exposure. The FCC MPE limits are based
on thresholds for known adverse effects, and they were designed to provide a substantial
margin of safety. There is a safety factor of 50 built into the General Public MPE limits, and the
predicted Verizon Wireless exposure levels are over 100 times below these very conservative
limits.
In cases where such compliance exists, the subject of electromagnetic field safety is preempted
by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which states: “No state or local government or
instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal
wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions
to the extent that such facilities comply with the (Federal Communication) Commission’s
regulations concerning such emissions.”
The graph below provides a visual depiction of the rather insignificant electromagnetic field
exposure contribution from the Verizon Wireless antenna system out to a distance of 500’ from
the base of the structure. This portrays how low the Verizon Wireless contribution is when
compared to the General Population MPE limit.

4. Appendix A: Reference Information
FCC Rules & Regulations
All information used in this report was analyzed as a percentage of the MPE limits as detailed in 47 CFR §
1.1310. The calculated power density at each sample point divided by the limit at each calculated frequency
provides a result in % MPE. Summing the calculated % MPE from all contributors provides accumulative
% MPE at a particular sample point. Wireless carriers use different frequency bands with varying MPE
limits; therefore, it is useful to report results in terms of % MPE as opposed to power density.
All results were compared to the FCC radio frequency exposure rules as detailed in 47 CFR § 1.1307(b) to
determine compliance with the MPE limits for General Population/Uncontrolled environments as defined
below:
Two Classifications for Exposure Limits

can exercise control over their exposure”.
General Population – Applies to situations in which
persons are “exposed as a consequence of their
employment may not be made fully aware of the potential
for exposure or cannot exercise control over their
exposure”. Generally speaking, those without significant
and documented RF Safety & Awareness training would
be in the General Population classification.
Environment Classification
Controlled – Applies to environments that are restricted
or “controlled” in order to prevent access from members
of the General Population classification.
Uncontrolled – Applies to environments that are
unrestricted or “uncontrolled” that allow access from
members of the General Population classification.

RE: Application for Proposed Communications Facility “Saratoga
Quarry” Verizon Wireless - Non-Interference Letter
Ladies and Gentlemen:
With respect to the above application, and in accordance with applicable provisions of the
Saratoga Springs Unified Development Ordinance - Verizon Wireless operates Wireless
Communications Forth Generation and Fifth Generation (4G & 5G) Services, Personal
Communication Service (PCS) and/or Cellular Radiotelephone Services network authorized by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide state of the art digital and/or cellular
wireless communications in many parts of the nation, including upstate New York. Verizon
Wireless' operations and network are licensed and regulated by the FCC.
Verizon Wireless' radio equipment is designed to transmit frequencies only within the allocated
frequency bands and each transmitter is carefully adjusted to comply with FCC regulations for
power output and frequency. These procedures prevent interference with other radio services,
public safety communications, airport navigation, cordless phones, computers and other
community office or residential household appliances.
The incidence of these transmissions causing interference with other radio services is extremely
rare. All other radio communication services, including broadcast radio and television, are
assigned to specific frequency bands, separate and distinct from cellular and other frequencies.
For instance, AM Radio operates between 0.5 -1.5 MHz and VHF Television operates between
54 - 215 MHz. In addition, receivers for other services are similarly designed to prevent
interference from out of band service. In the unlikely event that malfunctioning equipment or
improper settings are shown to cause interference with an existing service, Verizon Wireless
would be required, under the conditions of its FCC license, to take immediate steps to correct
any problems.
Thank you for considering this application.
Very truly yours,

RE: GENERATOR NOISE LETTER
VERIZON WIRELESS PROPOSED TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITY
SITE NAME: SARATOGA QUARRY
BROOK ROAD, CITY OF SARATOGA SPRINGS, SARATOGA COUNTY, NY 12866
TECTONIC W.O. 12396.068
Dear Ms. Pomponio:
Tectonic Engineering was asked to provide a noise analysis/comparison letter for the proposed Verizon
Wireless emergency backup power generator that is part of the above referenced project. We obtained
noise specifications from the manufacturer Rehlko for their proposed standard 50kW outdoor diesel
fueled AC generator including a level 2 sound-attenuating enclosure. The average sound pressure level
for the generator is 67.4 dBA at a reference distance of 23.0 feet.
We understand that consistent with normal Verizon Wireless procedure, absent exigent circumstances,
the generator is expected to run once every two weeks during daytime hours for approximately 30
minutes for routine testing purposes.
Sound attenuation for a point source (stationary source) equals a sound level reduction of 6 dBA per
doubling of distance between a noise source and a receptor when there are no obstructions present
between the two elements. Using this information, we can deduce the following noise levels that one
would anticipate when the equipment is in use:
• The distance between the generator and the nearest property line of an adjacent property which
is not associated with the project is approximately 469-feet away, located to the east of the
generator; the anticipated noise level at this point would be approximately 41.8 dBA.
• The distance between the generator and the nearest residence is approximately 627-feet away,
located to the southeast of the generator; the anticipated noise level at this point would be
approximately 39.3 dBA.
For comparison purposes, approximate decibel levels for normal conversation equal 60 dBA, for vehicular
traffic equal 85 dBA, and for a running lawnmower equal 107 dBA. Based on the calculated values for the
equipment, the anticipated noise levels will be lower than that experienced for normal conversation.
