POLE ATTACHMENT RIGHTS Verizon Wireless has entered into a Pole Attachment License Master Agreement with Eversource the Owner of the utility pole to install the small cell equipment. Eversource has provided full and complete authorization to Verizon Wireless and its representatives to apply for all necessary zoning permits, petitions or any other necessary approvals for the proposed small cell equipment installation. See Exhibit 1, Letter of Authorization. PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed small installation will include installing one (1) canister st yle antenna mounted on top of the utility pole at a maximum height of 39.3’ above ground level, two (2) remote radio heads, and associated wires, cables, fiber demac, diplexer and electric meter to the replaced utility pole with an overall installed height of approximately 35.5’ as shown on the attached Plans Titled YARMOUTH_SC06_MA prepared by Nexius with a last revision date of 07/27/2020. Similar to a telephone or cable companies’ utility pole equipment, the proposed small cell installations consist of a single antenna and small radios that will be mounted on the replaced utility pole that carries electric and communications services. The Verizon Wireless equipment will draw power by connecting to the existing electrical service on the pole. It will also tie into to the fiber already on the pole to make a backhaul connection to an existing equipment room. The install will not include any ground equipment. See Exhibit 2, Site Drawings. 2 JUSTIFICATION OF NEED These small cell facilities operate as an integral part of the Verizon Wireless network and will improve the reliability of service for Yarmouth residents and businesses. The proposed small cell facility will provide improved service to areas where this service is currently unavailable or unreliable because the signal is dissipated by the distance from the nearest macro facility, obstructed by the intervening terrain, or diverted by high demand closer to the macro facility. The small cell installation is designed to improve wireless service in areas of high wireless usage in Yarmouth. In order to further upgrade service, Verizon Wireless will need to install the proposed small cell equipment on the replaced utility pole #22/39, which is located in the Town right of way on South Shore Drive in the Town of Yarmouth that will both address gaps in reliable coverage and enhance system performance. See Exhibit 3, Affidavit of Radio Frequency Engineer. See Exhibit 4, Radio Frequency Emissions Compliance. See Exhibit 5, FCC License. SATISFACTION OF SPECIAL PERMIT REVIEW STANDARDS Small Cell technology provides for the continued deployment of Verizon Wireless’ network in Yarmouth and the greater Commonwealth. The small size and unique design of Small Cell units allows Verizon Wireless to strategically install antennas in high demand locations while mitigating visual impact and increasing wireless performance in targeted areas in Yarmouth. In contrast to conventional single-location, multi-function, macro wireless facilities (e.g. telecommunication towers), small c ell technology provides site-specific, multi-location network solutions in small, visually unobtrusive units. Verizon Wireless uses small c ell antennas to combine transmission and processing in a single canister style unit allowing antenna placement and signal creation without the need for onsite ground equipment. This type of signal processing is highly advantageous in high demand municipalities where network capacity is an issue during periods of peak use. Subsequently, municipalities can substantially improve wireless coverage by utilizing this state-of-the-art and discreet antenna technology. Verizon Wireless proposes the installation of one (1) s mall cell unit on a replaced utility pole #22/39 located on S outh Shore Drive. This installation consists of a 14.0"x 35.4" H canister antenna top mounted on the replaced utility pole and resembles a common electric transformer. This antenna complies with all applicable FCC radio frequency emission standards and regulations, and requires minimal maintenance. Subsequently, this antenna will not impact utilities, schools, traffic or other municipal resources in the Town of Yarmouth. 3 Due to rapidly increasing wireless demands and the immediate availability of this technology, Verizon Wireless is endeavoring to continue the r a pid deployment of small c ell units throughout Massachusetts in 2020. To this end, Verizon Wireless secured an agreement with Eversource to license and obtain approval of these installations on utility poles throughout the state. This Facility complies the Town of Yarmouth Zoning Bylaws. The Town of Yarmouth Zoning Bylaws provides guidelines for Wireless Communications Facilities under Article 408. As described herein, Verizon Wireless' proposed small cell unit is a canister style antenna slated for installation on a replaced utility pole in R-25 zoning district. To ensure compliance with the Yarmouth Zoning Bylaws, Verizon Wireless has received a determination from Mark Grylls, Director of Inspectional Services/Building Commissioner on August 12, 2020. In his email, Mr. Grylls confirmed that small cell antennas on a utility pole do not require site plan review and are permitted upon issuance of a special permit. See Exhibit 6, Email from Mark Grylls, Director of Inspectional Services/Building Commissioner. With consideration of the small size and scope of the proposed installation of small cell equipment and exceedingly limited visual impact of this new technology, Verizon Wireless has requested several waivers (please see below) pursuant to Article 408.4.1 of the Zoning Bylaw. T he Applicant believes that the information will not tend to provide substantive assistance to the Board and therefore the Applicant requests a waiver from any such requirements or, in the alternative, a determination of non-applicability for all standards and requirements that do not apply to the installation of small cell equipment on the utility pole. Verizon Wireless lists and addresses relevant sections of Yarmouth Zoning Bylaw Article 408 below, with responses to each requirement in bold font. 408.6 Application Filing Requirements.

Verizon Wireless will comply with this bylaw requirement. WAIVERS The Applicant has submitted detailed Plans in support of its application for Special Permit prepared by Nexius. The Plans include information on all aspects of the proposed small cell equipment installation on the utility pole. Due to the size and scope of the proposed installation of small cell equipment, Verizon Wireless believes that the Plans, Elevation, and other documents submitted meet the requirements of the Town of Yarmouth Zoning Bylaws to the extent applicable to this proposal. To the extent the Board believes that the provided Plans and exhibits do not comply with the requirements, the Applicant believes that the additional detail will not tend to provide substantive assistance to the Board and therefore the Applicant respectfully requests a waiver from any such requirements or, in the alternative, a determination of non-applicability for all standards and requirements that do not apply to the installation of small cell equipment on the utility pole. COMPLIANCE WITH TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996 Verizon Wireless further respectfully requests that the Town of Yarmouth grant this application under the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (hereinafter the "TCA"). Pub. L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (1996). In 1996, Congress enacted the TCA to facilitate the rapid deployment of telecommunications infrastructure in the United States. 47 U.S.C. § 332; Town of Arlington, Texas v. Federal Communications Commission, 133 S.Ct. 1863, 1866-67 (2013). The TCA preserves state and municipal zoning authority to regulate personal wireless service facilities, subject to five substantive and procedural limitations designed to prevent state and municipal government from delaying the application process and/or discriminating against specific wireless service providers. 47 U.S.C. § 332(C)(i)-(v); T-Mobile South, LLC v. Town of Roswell, Ga., 135 S.Ct. 808, 814 (2015); Town of Arlington, 133 S.Ct. at 1866-67; Rancho Palos Verdes v. Abrams, 544 U.S. 113, 115 (2005); Omnipoint Holdings, Inc. v. Town of Cranston, 586 F.3d 38, 45 (1st Cir. 2009). 17 Specifically, the TCA reflects Congress's intent to expand wireless services and increase competition among providers by preempting state and municipal regulations inconsistent with infrastructure development. Rancho Palos Verdes, 544 U.S. at 115; Omnipoint Holdings, 586 F.3d at 47; Sprint Spectrum L.P. v. Town of Swansea, 574 F.Supp. 2d 227, 235 (D. Mass. 2008). Although the TCA does not preempt all local zoning laws, it expressly preempts rules and laws attempting to regulate the "placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities that effectively prohibit the provision of personal wireless services." Town of Roswell, Ga., 135 S.Ct. at 814 (citing Rancho Palos Verdes, 544 U.S. at 115; 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II)); Green Mountain Realty Corp. v. Leonard, 750 F.3d 30, 38 (1st Cir. 2014); Town of Swansea, 574 F.Supp. at 235; Nextel Communications of the Mid-Atlantic, Inc. v. Town of Provincetown, 2003 WL 21497159, *8 (D. Mass. 2003). "Accordingly, the TCA significantly limits the ability of state and local authority to apply zoning regulations to wireless telecommunications." Telecorp Realty, LLC v. Town of Edgartown, 81 F.Supp.2d 257, 259 (D. Mass. 2000); Town of Swansea, 574 F.Supp. at 235; 47 U.S.C. §332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II). The Federal Communications Commission in its Declaration Ruling and Third Report and Order clarified that under Section 253(a) or 332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II), “an effective prohibition [of service] occurs where 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.” By this ruling, the FCC makes it clear that a state or local legal requirement effectively prohibits the provision of wireless services if it inhibits or limits a provider “not only when filling a coverage gap but also when densifying a wireless network, introducing new services or otherwise improving service capabilities.” The FCC also makes clear that an effective prohibition includes inhibiting a provider from deploying the “performance characteristics” of its choosing. The Federal Communications Commission in the final text of the Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order also promulgated rules imposing new “shot clocks” for Small Wireless Facility application review. The Commission establishes the following application review timeframes for Small Wireless Facilities: (1) 60 days for collocations of Small Wireless Facilities on existing structures and (2) a shot clock of 90 days for new construction of Small Wireless Facilities. CONCLUSION Accordingly, while Small Cell installations do not obviate the need for traditional wireless communication facilities, they are overwhelmingly the least intrusive means available to address network requirements in areas of dense demand for Verizon Wireless’ voice and data services. The equipment proposed herein provides enhanced service to areas of concentrated demand in Yarmouth while avoiding the possible aesthetic impact of larger wireless service facilities. Furthermore, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 supports the granting of the application in light of its goal to promote the rapid expansion of new technologies. 18 For the foregoing reasons, Verizon Wireless respectfully requests (with all rights reserved) that the Board: Grant the requested special permit to install the small cell pole attachment equipment on the replaced utility pole in accordance with this application and grant any other relief or waivers necessary to allow the installation and operation of this small cell pole attachment equipment.

My name is Thejasree Vemulapalli. I have a Bachelor of Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering degree from the Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College and a Master of Science, Computer Networking degree from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. I have been employed as a Radio Frequency (RF) Design Engineer for ten (10) years, the last seven (7) months with Verizon Wireless. I am responsible for network design in the area of Massachusetts that includes the Town of Yarmouth, MA. 2. Verizon Wireless is a federally licensed provider of wireless communications services with a national footprint. 3. The proposed small wireless facilities are within areas where Verizon Wireless has identified a need to install additional facilities in order to provide reliable wireless service for customers and emergency responders and access to new technologies. The search areas for each proposed facility were determined with reference to Verizon’s existing network serving the Yarmouth area and by identifying those areas in need of improved service. Furthermore, it was determined that the areas served by each facility would interact well with those of existing and proposed facilities in the surrounding areas. The following table provides details of each proposed site: 4. Small cell deployments are intended to complement, not replace, macro network sites, and are typically target areas of heavy network usage (a.k.a “hotspots”). In doing so, small cells serve to offload the demand on the existing sites serving these hotspots. This not only improves service to the targeted area, but also improves overall system performance elsewhere in the network. In addition, small cells allow for Verizon’s deployment of new technologies that will further enhance the network experience and reliability, including faster download time and lower latency.

Pursuant to its Federal Communications Commission (FCC) licenses, Verizon Wireless is required to ensure that all radio equipment operating at the proposed communications facilities and the resulting radio frequency exposure levels are compliant with FCC requirements as well as federal and state health and safety standards. 6. Providing wireless communications services is a benefit to the residents of the Town of Yarmouth, as well as to mobile customers traveling through the area. The proposed facilities reflect the locations and designs required to meet Verizon Wireless’ network objectives with respect to capacity and coverage enhancement and deployment of new technologies, including 5G. Without the proposed facilities, Verizon Wireless will be unable to provide reliable wireless communication services in these areas of Yarmouth; therefore, Verizon Wireless respectfully requests that the Town of Yarmouth act favorably upon the proposed facilities. Signed and sworn under the pains and penalties of perjury this 5th day of August 2020. Thejasree Vemulapalli ___________________________ Thejasree Vemulapalli RF Design Engineer Verizon Wireless 118 Flanders Road, 3rd Floor Westborough, MA 01851 Exhibit 4 “Radio Frequency Emissions Compliance” 7/30/2020 To: Town of Yarmouth, MA 1146 Route 28 South Yarmouth, MA 02664 RE: Verizon Wireless Small Cell Sites Dear Town of Yarmouth, Verizon is installing additional wireless telecommunications facilities in order to meet the growing demand for Verizon Wireless service by residents, businesses, visitors, and emergency responders. To ensure general public safety, it is important that you contact Verizon Wireless personnel at least 24 hours in advance should general maintenance need to be performed in areas of potential concern as marked on the next page of this document. This is required to comply with FCC guidelines and ensure the environment is safe for general maintenance workers who may require RF Safety & Awareness training. With notification, Verizon Wireless is able to evaluate appropriate actions needed relating to the antennas and proximity of the work location. Thank you for your inquiry. Verizon has a process to deactivate power on small cells (regardless of whether the small cell is 4G or 5G) while work is being done on the pole (including joint use poles). The information needed to have a small cell powered down for work to occur on the pole (including contact numbers and pole identifiers) is provided at a safe distance from the small cell on the pole itself. Please contact Verizon Wireless personnel at least 24 hours in advance if you need to perform maintenance at that site. If you have any additional questions, our point of contact in that area is Luis Teves. You also expressed concerns about the health effects of RF emissions from Verizon’s network equipment. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed safety rules for human exposure to RF emissions in consultation with numerous other federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. These rules can be found at 47 C.F.R § 1.1310. No matter which generation of technology we use, all Verizon equipment must comply with these safety requirements. The FCC supported and adopted the standards after examining the RF research that scientists in the US and around the world conducted for decades. The research continues to this day, and agencies continue to monitor it. Based on that research, federal agencies have concluded that equipment that has been deployed in a manner that complies with the safety standards poses no known health risks. You can obtain further information about the safety of RF emissions from cell towers on the FCC’s website, which you can access via this link: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html. Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your concerns. We appreciate the chance to explain our activities regarding the wireless facility at issue. Questions related to compliance with federal regulations should be directed to VZWRFCompliance@verizonwireless.com.
