VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD COMMUNICATION FACILITY
PROJECT SUMMARY
Corporate Structure of Petitioner
'I- � 10
r14 I �
Ameritech Mobile Communications, Inc. ( "Ameritech ") is the operational arm for Ameritech Mobile
Phone Service, Inc., the sole general partner in the Chicago SMSA Limited Partnership. The Chicago
SMSA Limited Partnership is a public utility whose facilities and operations are licensed by the Federal
Communications Commission and regulated by the Illinois Commerce Commission. Their main business
is providing cellular mobile telephone service to the public in the greater Chicago metropolitan areas.
Ameritech currently has over 300 cellular facilities in its Chicago license area and over 900 facilities in
its midwest region.
Nature of Request
Ameritech is requesting a Special Use to allow the installation of two 4' whip -type cellular antennas in
the bell tower of the First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield at 824 Waukegan Road. The company would
use the existing tower as well as an existing 14' x 14' janitorial closet within the facility to house
electronic telephone equipment.
The First Presbyterian Church is located in an R -5 (General Residence) District. Section 4.05 of the
Village of Deerfield Zoning Ordinance defines four types of residential structures which are permitted
uses in the R -5 District. None of these classifications cover 'the installation of cellular antennas.
Accordingly, a Special Use permit would be necessary. Section 13.12 of the Ordinance allows a Special
Use permit for "uses traditionally associated with a public interest or operated by a publicly regulated
utility ". As the proposed facility will operate in the public interest and be operated by a public utility,
this category would allow for a special use application.
Statement of Necessity
Engineers at Ameritech have identified the need for a cellular telephone facility or "cell site" to serve the
City of Deerfield. The number of cellular telephone users in the City of Deerfield has grown to such an
extent that this facility has become necessary to provide quality, seamless cellular coverage to our cellular
customers. Ameritech customers have experienced service problems throughout the downtown area, with
the largest.number of complaints coming from portable and mobile telephone users along both Deerfield
Road and Waukegan Road. Problems range from poor call quality to the complete inability to access the
cellular system.
Downtown Deerfield is currently being served by cellular facilities at 1351 Lake Cook Road in
Northbrook, 2 Parkway North in Deerfield and 1814 Green Bay Road in Highland Park. Due to the high
volume of usage in the downtown area, capacity relief is needed to provide adequate service to this area.
In addition, because of the small area to be covered in downtown Deerfield, a "mini- cell" will be used
instead of a traditional cell site which serves a larger area and is generally mounted on a 100' tower
structure. As a small target area is to be served, the "mini- cell" can operate at a lower height, utilizing
an existing structure to avoid the aesthetic impact of a tower structure.
When the communication needs of a community exceed the capacity of the existing cellular system,
engineers at Ameritech issue a "Search Area Map" which identifies an area in which a cell site must be
located to allow it to function as an integral unit in the cellular telephone system without interfering with
existing or contemplated surrounding cell sites. Cellular telephone systems are laid out in a grid pattern
and the spacing, height and location of the component cell sites is critical for the successful operation of
the system. Once the new cell site is integrated into the existing system, it will relieve the surrounding
overburdened cell sites to function at a more efficient capacity and complete the grid plan for the area.
Service Area
The majority of the existing cellular telephone facilities in the Chicago System are designed to cover a
geographic area within a two to four mile radius from the cell site. In this case, a "mini- cell" is being
proposed to cover only specific problem areas along Waukegan Road and Deerfield Road. The proposed
cell site is designed to provide cellular coverage to the immediate area. Residents in and around the City
of Deerfield will be the direct beneficiaries of improved cellular service.
Search for an Appropriate Location
Once the need for a cellular telephone facility is identified in a location, Ameritech studies the local
zoning regulations and consults the local planning staff to determine the most appropriate zoning districts
within the search area in which to locate their facility. In this case, the engineered search area was a 2 -3
block area roughly centered at the intersection of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads.
In searching the area, the first site considered was the Illinois Bell facility on Deerfield Road. Although
owned by an Ameritech company, this property would have required the construction of a tower
structure. After internal discussions and a meeting with the Deerfield planning staff, it was determined
that the search should focus only on sites where Ameritech could mount its antennas on an existing tall
structure to avoid any aesthetic impact. The existing communications tower on Fire Department property
south of Deerfield Road was considered, but the Village staff determined that a cellular facility did not
fit,into the Village's future plans for the property. In addition, every tall building rooftop in the area was
investigated.
The church property at 824 Waukegan Road was identified as a location where an "invisible" site could
be located to avoid aesthetic considerations. Two 4' long by 1" diameter whip -type antennas will be
painted to match the exterior of the church and will be partially hidden by the decorative stone atop the
bell tower. After a thorough and responsible property search, Ameritech believes it has chosen a site
with the least possible impact to the community.
Lease Agreement with the First Presbyterian Church
Ameritech Cellular has gone through an extensive internal process with the First Presbyterian Church and
has negotiated a lease for the bell tower location. Approvals have been received from the Church
Properties Committee and the twenty -eight member Board of Elders, as well as the regional governing
board of the Presbyterian Church.
Statement Regarding Nuisances that Will or Will Not be Generated
No nuisances will be generated by the improvement to or the use of this proposed facility. Ameritech's
proposed facility will be wholly contained within the church building. There will be no facilities other
than electricity and telephone needed for this site. There will be no impact on traffic; no loading or
unloading of supplies; no materials handled, stored, discharged or discarded; and no noise will be
generated.
The use of the proposed facility will not injure the public health, safety and welfare, nor will it adversely
impact the neighborhood. Currently there are over 900 cellular facilities in Ameritech's seven - state,
midwest region, and there has never been a single instance where their transmissions have interfered with
any other form of communications, whether public or private, or where their operations have in any way
endangered the public, health, safety, morals or general welfare.
To the contrary, cellular telephones provide a vital communications link which has repeatedly proven its
effectiveness in emergency situations and is commonly being utilized by police and fire departments to
protect the general public's health, safety and welfare.
Statement of Operations
Once the construction of the "cell" is complete and the transmission equipment is fine- tuned, visitation
to the cell site by service personnel for customary maintenance will occur once a month. in a station
wagon or panel /van type vehicle. The cell is entirely self - monitored and connects directly to a central
office where sophisticated computers alert personnel to any equipment malfunction or breach of security.
A cellular telephone facility is an unmanned facility and, accordingly, there will be no hours of operation
and there will be no impact to the existing traffic patterns. Ingress and egress will be provided with a
parking area for the service personnel who arrive infrequently to service the cell site.
Benefits of Cellular Technology
Cellular telephone technology provides many benefits to the communities it serves. These services
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Free Cellular 911 program allowing motorists to summon aid and report dangerous situations.
• Support for emergency services by providing wireless communications to paramedics, firefighters,
and law enforcement agencies.
• The ability to transmit data allowing for immediate access to vital information.
• A backup system to the land -line system in the event of a natural or man -made disaster.
• .Immediate access to national hazardous material data bases from the site of a hazardous material
spill.
• Communication capabilities in remote areas,
immediate access to emergency assistance.
• Support for the busy lives of people in the city,

VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD U
STANDARDS FOR A SPECIAL USE
A. Compatible with Existing Development
The nature and intensity of the activities involved and the size, placement and design of any
structures proposed will be so planned that the Special Use will be compatible with the existing
development and will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of
surrounding property.
Ameritech is requesting a Special Use to allow the installation of two 4' whip -type cellular
antennas in the bell tower of the First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield located at 824
Waukegan Road. A 14' x 14' janitorial closet within the church building will be used to
house the electronic telephone equipment. The church property was identified as a location
where an "invisible" cell site could be located to avoid aesthetic concerns, and as such, be
compatible with the existing development.
Currently, there are over 900 cellular telephone facilities in AMCI's five - state, midwest
region, and there has never been a single instance where their transmissions have interfered
with any other form of communications, whether public or private, or where their operation
has in any way endangered the public health, safety, morals or general welfare.
To the contrary, cellular telephones provide an alternate communication system which has
repeatedly proven its effectiveness in emergency situations and is commonly being utilized
by police and fire departments to protect the general public's health, safety and welfare.
Cellular telephone technology provides many benefits to the communities it serves. These
services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Free Cellular 911 program which allows motorists to summon aid and report
dangerous situations.
• Support for emergency services by providing wireless communications to paramedics,
firefighters, and law enforcement agencies.
• The ability to transmit data allowing for immediate access to vital information.
A backup system to the land -line system in the event of a natural or man-made
disaster.
• Immediate access to national hazardous material data bases from the site of a
hazardous material spill.
• Communication capabilities in remote areas, enhancing the safety of travelers by
allowing immediate access to emergency assistance.
• Support for the busy lives of people in the city, reducing stress and increasing
productivity.
The cellular industry goal is a "seamless" system of cellular coverage coast to coast. Experts
predict the continued growth of wireless communications, including data transmission, fixed
cellular applications for both residential and commercial applications, automatic tracking,
fleet monitoring, etc.
Because of the demand for cellular communications by businesses and residents, the
prosperous growth of the Village of Deerfield will be directly affected by this facility. A
seamless system of cellular coverage for business, safety and emergency services is becoming
an increasingly important factor in the prosperous growth of communities.
B. Lot of Sufficient Size
The size of the lot will be sufficient for the use proposed.
As this cellular facility will be wholly contained within the existing church facility, the size
of the lot will not be affected.
C. Traffic
The location of the Special Use within the Village will be such that adverse effects on
surrounding properties will be minimal, particularly regarding the traffic generated by the Special
Use.
As stated above, the proposed cellular facility will be wholly contained within the existing
church facility, thus having no adverse effect on surrounding properties. A cellular
telephone facility is an unmanned facility and, accordingly, there will be no impact to the
existing traffic patterns. This site will be visited on the average of once or twice a month
by maintenance personnel in a station wagon or van -type vehicle, and, thus, the safety and
efficiency of public streets and highways will be maintained.
D. Parking and Access
Parking areas will be of adequate size for the particular use and properly located, and the
entrance and exit drives will be laid out so as to prevent traffic hazards and nuisances.
As stated above, a cellular facility is an unmanned facility, visited once or twice a month,
and as such, not generating any traffic hazards or nuisances.
E. Effect on the Neighborhood
In all respects, the Special Use will not be significantly or materially detrimental to the health,
safety and welfare of the public or injurious to the other property or improvements in the
neighborhood, nor will it diminish or impair property values in the surrounding area.
As stated above, there are over 900 cellular telephone facilities in AMCI's five- state,
midwest region, and there has never been a single instance where their transmissions have
interfered with any other form of communications, whether public or private, or where their
operation has in any way endangered the public health, safety, morals or general welfare.
To the contrary, cellular telephones provide an alternate communication system which has
repeatedly proven its effectiveness in emergency situations and is commonly being utilized
by police and fire departments to protect the general public's health, safety and welfare.
As this facility will be an "invisible" cell site, it will not be injurious to other property or
improvements in the neighborhood, nor will it diminish or impair property values.
F. Adequate Facilities
That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and /or other necessary facilities have been or are
being provided.
The only utilities necessary for this facility are electricity and telephone which will be
provided. No drainage or sanitation facilities will be necessary for this facility.
G. Adequate Buffering
Adequate fencing and /or screening shall be provided to ensure the enjoyment of surrounding
properties, to provide for the public safety or to screen parking areas and other visually
incompatible uses.
As stated above, the church property was identified as a location where an "invisible" cell
site could be located to avoid aesthetic concerns, and as such, be compatible with the existing
development. Two 4' long, 1" diameter whip -type antennas will be painted to match the
exterior of the church and will be partially hidden by the decorative stone atop the bell
tower, providing screening. The electronic cellular telephone equipment will be wholly
contained within a 14' x 14' janitorial closet within the existing church.

CE Design, Ltd. are the consulting engineering/ architects for
Ameritech Mobile Communications. We performed a site investigation
on March 8, 1995 and reviewed the existing building and proposed
lease space. The following improvements are proposed subject to
final design investigations and drawings.
INTERIOR SPACE
The existing proposed janitorial closet at the base of the bell
tower would be fully utilized. It is approximately 141x14' and
marginally meets the equipment space requirements. The existing
window would be protected, and the existing overhead hot water
heating pipes would be enclosed to protect the electronic equipment
in case of a pipe failure. The entire space would be utilized for
the cell site electronic equipment and backup batteries. Electric
and telephone service would be run through the basement ceiling to
the existing boiler room.
MECHANICAL SYSTEM
The mechanical system for the Ameritech equipment room will be
suspended in the ceiling space. There would be two self contained
Carrier units so that there would be no need to have condensing
units on the exterior of the building. A new metal louver would
have to be installed in the exterior wall above the basement doors
adjacent to the bell tower. This louver will be approximately
2'- 8 "x4' -8" for the exhaust requirements of the mechanical units.
This louver would match the color of the masonry wall. A
condensate line would run above the corridor ceiling to the
janitor's closet. This line would then be routed down to the
janitor's sink.
ANTENNA MOUNTING
Two 4' omni - directional whip antennas, painted beige in color, would be
mounted 8' apart on top of the bell tower. These antennas would be partially
hidden by the decorative stone atop the bell tower, as depicted on the photo
renderings.
ANTENNA CABLE ROUTING
Antenna cables would be run from the two aforementioned antennas through the
interior of the bell tower to the floor of the bell tower. The antenna cables would
exit the bell tower at the bottom of the west opening. The conduit will then be
routed on the exterior wall surface so that no conduit will be routed through the
colombarium. The conduit will then be routed down to the basement equipment
room following the contours and profiles of the stone coursing and masonry
projections. A new metal louver for the mechanical system would be located
above the basement doors. The antenna cables would be routed through this
louver as to alleviate the need for any additional wall penetrations. The antenna
cables would be enclosed in 3" diameter conduit mounted on the west face of
the bell tower and painted beige to match the existing brick and stone work. The
completed installation would be nearly invisible since it will be small in diameter
and painted to match the existing bell tower. The work would be performed by
experienced antenna personnel who have worked in similar difficult
environments.
There will be no disruption during construction to the Church and any of its
activities. Once complete, the facility will be visited approximately once per
month by a trained service technician.
Further investigations and design drawings will be developed upon the Church's
approval of this installation. All plans will be prepared by a licensed architect in
the State of Illinois.

VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD COMMUNICATION FACILITY
PROJECT SUMMARY
Corporate Structure of Petitioner
-.I- � 10,
04 1 �
Ameritech Mobile Communications, Inc. ( "Ameritech ") is the operational arm for Ameritech Mobile
Phone Service, Inc., the sole general partner in the Chicago SMSA Limited Partnership. The Chicago
SMSA Limited Partnership is a public utility whose facilities and operations are licensed by the Federal
Communications Commission and regulated by the Illinois Commerce Commission. Their main business
is providing cellular mobile telephone service to the public in the greater Chicago metropolitan areas.
Ameritech currently has over 300 cellular facilities in its Chicago license area and over 900 facilities in
its midwest region.
Nature of Request
Ameritech is requesting a Special Use to allow the installation of two 4' whip -type cellular antennas in
the bell tower of the First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield at 824 Waukegan Road. The company would
use the existing tower as well as an existing 14' x 14' janitorial closet within the facility to house
electronic telephone equipment.
The First Presbyterian Church is located in an R -5 (General Residence) District. Section 4.05 of the
Village of Deerfield Zoning Ordinance defines four types of residential structures which are permitted
uses in the R -5 District. None of these classifications cover the installation of cellular antennas.
Accordingly, a Special Use permit would be necessary. Section 13.12 of the Ordinance allows a Special
Use permit for "uses traditionally associated with a public interest or operated by a publicly regulated
utility ". As the proposed facility will operate in the public interest and be operated by a public utility,
this category would allow for a special use application.
Statement of Necessity
Engineers at Ameritech have identified the need for a cellular telephone facility or "cell site" to serve the
City of Deerfield. The number of cellular telephone users in the City of Deerfield has grown to such an
extent that this facility has become necessary to provide quality, seamless cellular coverage to our cellular
customers. Ameritech customers have experienced service problems throughout the downtown area, with
the largest number of complaints coming from portable and mobile telephone users along both Deerfield
Road and Waukegan Road. Problems range from poor call quality to the complete inability to access the
cellular system.
Downtown Deerfield is currently being served by cellular facilities at 1351 Lake Cook Road in
Northbrook, 2 Parkway North in Deerfield and 1814 Green Bay Road in Highland Park. Due to the high
volume of usage in the downtown area, capacity relief is needed to provide adequate service to this area.
In addition, because of the small- area to be covered in downtown Deerfield, a "mini- cell" will be used
instead of a traditional cell site which serves a larger area and is generally mounted on a 100' tower
structure. As a small target area is to be served, the "mini- cell" can operate at a lower height, utilizing
an existing structure to avoid the aesthetic impact of a tower structure.
When the communication needs of a community exceed i:}ie capacity of the existing cellular system,
engineers at Ameritech issue a "Search Area Map" which identifies an area in which a cell site must be
located to allow it to function as an integral unit in the cellular telephone system without interfering with
existing or contemplated surrounding cell sites. Cellular telephone systems are laid out in a grid pattern
and the spacing, height and location of the component cell sites is critical for the successful operation of
the system. Once the new cell site is integrated into the existing system, it will relieve the surrounding
overburdened cell sites to function at a more efficient capacity and complete the grid plan for the area.
Service Area
The majority of the existing cellular telephone facilities in the Chicago System are designed to cover a
geographic area within a two to four mile radius from the cell site. In this case, a "mini- cell" is being
proposed to cover only specific problem areas along Waukegan Road and Deerfield Road. The proposed
cell site is designed to provide cellular coverage to the immediate area. Residents in and around the City
of Deerfield will be the direct beneficiaries of improved cellular service.
Search for an Appropriate Location
Once the need for a cellular telephone facility is identified in a location, Ameritech studies the local
zoning regulations and consults the local planning staff to determine the most appropriate zoning districts
within the search area in which to locate their facility. In this case, the engineered search area was a 2 -3
block area roughly centered at the intersection of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads.
In searching the area, the first site considered was the Illinois Bell facility on Deerfield Road. Although
owned by an Ameritech company, this property would have required the construction of a tower
structure. After internal discussions and a meeting with the Deerfield planning staff, it was determined
that the search should focus only on sites where Ameritech could mount its antennas on an existing tall
structure to avoid any aesthetic impact. The existing communications tower on Fire Department property
south of Deerfield Road was considered, but the Village staff determined that a cellular facility did not
fit into the Village's future plans for the property. In addition, every tall building rooftop in the area was
investigated.
The church property at 824 Waukegan Road was identified as a location where an "invisible" site could
be located to avoid aesthetic considerations. Two 4' long by V diameter whip -type antennas will be
painted to match the exterior of the church and will be partially hidden by the decorative stone atop the
bell tower. After a thorough and responsible property search, Ameritech believes it has chosen a site
with the least possible impact to the community.
Lease Agreement with the First Presbyterian Church
Ameritech Cellular has gone through an extensive internal process with the First Presbyterian Church and
has negotiated a lease for the bell tower location. Approvals have been received from the Church
Properties Committee and the twenty -eight member Board of Elders, as well as the regional governing
board of the Presbyterian Church.
Statement Regarding Nuisances that Will or Will Not be Generated
No nuisances will be generated by the improvement to or the use of this proposed facility. Ameritech's
proposed facility will be wholly contained within the church building. There will be no facilities other
than electricity and telephone needed for this site. There will be no impact on traffic; no loading or
3'x-8668
� '0 ku
unloading of supplies; no materials handled, stored, discharged or discarded; and rio noise will be
generated.
The use of the proposed facility will not injure the public health, safety and welfare, nor will it adversely
impact the neighborhood. Currently there are over 900 cellular facilities in Ameritech's seven - state,
midwest region, and there has never been a single instance where their transmissions have interfered with
any other form of communications, whether public or private, or where their operations have in any way
endangered the public, health, safety, morals or general welfare.
To the contrary, cellular telephones provide a vital communications link which has repeatedly proven its
effectiveness in emergency situations and is commonly being utilized by police and fire departments to
protect the general public's health, safety and welfare.
Statement of Operations
Once the construction of the "cell" is complete and the transmission equipment is fine- tuned, visitation
to the cell site by service personnel for customary maintenance will occur once a month in a station
wagon or panel /van type vehicle. The cell is entirely self - monitored and connects directly to a central
office where sophisticated computers alert personnel to any equipment malfunction or breach of security.
A cellular telephone facility is an unmanned facility and, accordingly, there will be no hours of operation
and there will be no impact to the existing traffic patterns. Ingress and egress will be provided with a
parking area for the service personnel who arrive infrequently to service the cell site.
Benefits of Cellular Technology
Cellular telephone technology provides many .benefits to the communities it serves. These services
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Free Cellular 911 program allowing motorists to summon aid and report dangerous situations.
• Support for emergency services by providing wireless communications to paramedics, firefighters,
and law enforcement agencies.
0 The ability to transmit data allowing for immediate access to vital information.
• A backup system to the land -line system in the event of a natural or man -made disaster.
• Immediate access to national hazardous material data bases from the site of a hazardous material
spill.

STANDARDS FOR A SPECIAL USE
A. Compatible with Existing Development
The nature and intensity of the activities involved and the size, placement and design of any
structures proposed will be so planned that the Special Use will be compatible with the existing
development and will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of
surrounding property.
Ameritech is requesting a Special Use to allow the installation of two 4' whip -type cellular
antennas in the bell tower of the First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield located at 824
Waukegan Road. A 14' x 14' janitorial closet within the church building will be used to
house the electronic telephone equipment. The church property was identified as a location
where an "invisible" cell site could be located to avoid aesthetic concerns, and as such, be
compatible with the existing development.
Currently, there are over 900 cellular telephone facilities in AMCI's five - state, midwest
region, and there has never been a single instance where their transmissions have interfered
with any other form of communications, whether public or private, or where their operation
has in any way endangered the public health, safety, morals or general welfare.
To the contrary, cellular telephones provide an alternate communication system which has
repeatedly proven its effectiveness in emergency situations and is commonly being utilized
by police and fire departments to protect the general public's health, safety and welfare.
Cellular telephone technology provides many benefits to the communities it serves. These
services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Free Cellular 911 program which allows motorists to summon aid and report
dangerous situations.
•. Support for emergency services by providing wireless communications to paramedics,
firefighters, and law enforcement agencies.
• The ability to transmit data allowing for immediate access to vital information.
0 A backup system to the land -line system in the event of a natural or man-made
disaster.
• Immediate access to national hazardous material data bases from the site of a
hazardous material spill.
• Communication capabilities in remote areas, enhancing the safety of travelers by
allowing immediate access to emergency assistance.
• Support for the busy lives of people in the city, reducing stress and increasing
productivity.
The cellular industry goal is a "seamless" system of cellular coverage coast to coast. Experts
predict the continued growth of wireless communications, including data transmission, fixed
cellular applications for both residential and commercial applications, automatic tracking,
fleet monitoring, etc.

C.
E
Because of the demand for cellular communications by businesses and residents, the
prosperous growth of the Village of Deerfield will be directly affected by this facility. A
seamless system of cellular coverage for business, safety and emergency services is becoming
an increasingly important factor in the prosperous growth of communities.
Lot of Sufficient Size
The size of the lot will be sufficient for the use proposed.
As this cellular facility will be wholly contained within the existing church facility, the size
of the lot will not be affected.
Traffic
The location of the Special Use within the Village will be such that adverse effects on
surrounding properties will be minimal, particularly regarding the traffic generated by the Special
Use.
As stated above, the proposed cellular facility will be wholly contained within the existing
church facility, thus having no adverse effect on surrounding properties. A cellular
telephone facility is an unmanned facility and, accordingly, there will be no impact to the
existing traffic patterns. This site will be visited on the average of once or twice a month
by maintenance personnel in a station wagon or van -type vehicle, and, thus, the safety and
efficiency of public streets and highways will be maintained.
Parking and Access
Parking areas will be of adequate size for the particular use and properly located, and the
entrance and exit drives will be laid out so as to prevent traffic hazards and nuisances.
As stated above, a cellular facility is an unmanned facility, visited once or twice a month,
and as such, not generating any traffic hazards or nuisances.
Effect on the Neighborhood
In all respects, the Special Use will not be significantly or materially detrimental to the health,
safety and welfare of the public or injurious to the other property or improvements in the
neighborhood, nor will it diminish or impair property values in the surrounding area.
As stated above, there are over 900 cellular telephone facilities in AMCI's five- state,
midwest region, and there has never been a single instance where their transmissions have
interfered with any other form of communications, whether public or private, or where their
operation has in any way endangered the public health, safety, morals or general welfare.
To the contrary, cellular telephones provide an alternate communication system which has
repeatedly proven its effectiveness in emergency situations and is commonly being utilized
by police and fire departments to protect the general public's health, safety and welfare.
As this facility will be an "invisible" cell site, it will not be injurious to other property or
improvements in the neighborhood, nor will it diminish or impair property values.
F. Adequate Facilities
That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and /or other necessary facilities have been or are
being provided.
The only utilities necessary for this facility are electricity and telephone which will be
provided. No drainage or sanitation facilities will be necessary for this facility.
G. Adequate Buffering
Adequate fencing and /or screening shall be provided to ensure the enjoyment of surrounding
properties, to provide for the public safety or to screen parking areas and other visually
incompatible uses.
As stated above, the church property was identified as a location where an "invisible" cell
site could be located to avoid aesthetic concerns, and as such, be compatible with the existing
development. Two 4' long, 1" diameter whip -type antennas will be painted to match the
exterior of the church and will be partially hidden by the decorative stone atop the bell
tower, providing screening. The electronic cellular telephone equipment will be wholly
contained within a 14' x 14' janitorial closet within the existing church.

CE Design, Ltd. are the consulting engineering/ architects for
Ameritech Mobile Communications. We performed a site investigation
on March 8, 1995 and reviewed the existing building and proposed
lease space. The following improvements are proposed subject to
final design investigations and drawings.
INTERIOR SPACE
The existing proposed janitorial closet at the base of the bell
tower would be fully utilized. It is approximately 141x14' and
marginally meets the equipment space requirements. The existing
window would be protected, and the existing overhead hot water
heating pipes would be enclosed to protect the electronic equipment
in case of a pipe failure. The entire space would be utilized for
the cell site electronic equipment and backup batteries. Electric
and telephone service would be run through the basement ceiling to
the existing boiler room.
MECHANICAL SYSTEM
The mechanical system for the Ameritech equipment room will be
suspended in the ceiling space. There would be two self contained
Carrier units so that there would be no need to have condensing
units on the exterior of the building. A new metal louver would
have to be installed in the exterior wall above the basement doors
adjacent to the bell tower. This louver will be approximately
21- 8 1lx4' -8" for the exhaust requirements of the mechanical units.
This louver would match the color of the masonry wall. A
condensate line would run above the corridor ceiling to the
janitor's closet. This line would then be routed down to the
janitor's sink.
378688G
/�
I ANTENNA MOUNTING
Two 4' omni - directional whip antennas, painted beige in color, would be
mounted 8' apart on top of the bell tower. These antennas would be partially
hidden by the decorative stone atop the bell tower, as depicted on the photo
renderings.
ANTENNA CABLE ROUTING
Antenna cables would be run from the two aforementioned antennas through the
interior of the bell tower to the floor of the bell tower. The antenna cables would
exit the bell tower at the bottom of the west opening. The conduit will then be
routed on the exterior wall surface so that no conduit will be routed through the
colombarium. The conduit will then be routed down to the basement equipment
room following the contours and profiles of the stone coursing and masonry
projections. A new metal louver for the mechanical system would be located
above the basement doors. The antenna cables would be routed through this
louver as to alleviate the need for any additional wall penetrations. The antenna
cables would be enclosed in 3" diameter conduit mounted on the west face of
the bell tower and painted beige to match the existing brick and stone work. The
completed installation would be nearly invisible since it will be small in diameter
and painted to match the existing bell tower. The work would be performed by
experienced antenna personnel who have worked in similar difficult
environments.
There will be no disruption during construction to the Church and any of its
activities. Once complete, the facility will be visited approximately once per
month by a trained service technician.
Further investigations and design drawings will be developed upon the Church's
approval of this installation. All plans will be prepared by a licensed architect in
the State of Illinois.
