During the first application process, the Yarmouth Planning Board and Town Staff provided numerous comments regarding the location, height and aesthetics of the proposed cell tower (see previously submitted documents). The minor revisions made to the project in the latest submission will have negligible impacts on these main concerns. Briefly, the applicant is proposing to reduce the height from 120’ to 110’, bring the exposed antennas closer to the pole using 6’ antenna frames rather than 12’, include a 6’ solid fence with more landscaping to screen the ground equipment, and locate utilities underground. Screening: There was no attempt to camouflage the tower in any way and it remains highly visible from Route 28 at a height of 112’ above existing grade. The solid fencing and additional plantings are an improvement, but also something that should have been included in the original submission as these are standard screening practices. The new pad mounted transformer outside the fence area needs to be screened from Route 28. Unfortunately, the increase in the size of the stormwater management system results in increased tree removal near Route 28. Please note Yarmouth zoning requires a 20’ minimum front buffer. Photo-Simulations: The photo-simulations should represent what is being permitted. If up to 4 carriers could be on this tower, the visualizations need to accurately reflect this potential outcome. The photo-simulation located in the parking lot of McDonalds is not representative of the requested view along Route 28 looking towards the facility. The location chosen gives a deceptive impression of the amount of screening provided due to the upward angle of the photo and close proximity of existing smaller buffer trees. Coverage: The applicant contends that a cell tower of this type, height, and location is necessary to meet their coverage needs. However, another carrier (Verizon) has been able to provide adequate coverage through an array of different methods that meet their needs without so severely impacting the community. Their CAM tower behind the post office is barely noticeable due to its lower height and location behind the building, well away from Route 28. Planning Division Blue Sky Tower – DRI Resubmission December 3, 2021 Page 2 of 2 Community Vision and Design: Route 28 is the major commercial corridor and economic engine for the Town of Yarmouth. As such, the Town has expended significant effort to create economic opportunities, including many initiatives and planning documents promoting redevelopment and improved aesthetics along Route 28. These include designation of an Opportunity Zone along a segment of Route 28 to offer economic incentives for investment; extension of the Growth Incentive Zone to ease permitting for 35 motel properties along Route 28; and adoption of the Village Centers Overlay District (VCOD) zoning (see attached) which provides for mixed use and high density development opportunities subject to enhanced design standards (the project is located in VC3). Most recently, the Town has developed a Draft Vision Plan after a 16-month community engagement process. The attached Draft Vision Plan clearly expresses our vision for aesthetically pleasing commercial corridors and a strong economy. With these planning efforts, combined with forthcoming municipal sewer system, and several roadway projects along Route 28 planned by the MA Department of Transportation (MassDOT), the Town is primed for significant redevelopment and aesthetic improvements. The proposed cell tower as currently designed severely contrasts with these efforts and will have negative impacts on these goals for decades. The proposal as currently designed would be detrimental to the Town and the waivers requested from the Commission’s Technical Bulletin should not be granted. Thank you for your consideration of these comments. Please note that we are awaiting input from Isotrope Wireless, the CCC’s peer reviewer, on the supplemental materials and may wish to offer further comments.

The main modifications include reducing the height from 120' to I l0', bringing the exposed antennas closer to the pole using 6' antenna frames rather than l2', and including 6' solid fencing and more landscaping to screen the ground equipment. The vast majority ofthe Planning Board is very disappointed by the minimal modifications proposed by the applicant which do little to address the comments and concems previously expressed by the Planning Board and Town Staff. The Applicant has shown little interest in significant changes to their proposal and the Planning Board would request that the current application be denied by the Cape Cod Commission. Route 28 is one of Yarmouth's biggest challenges and an area where significant planning efforts have been concentrated. The site is located within the Village Centers Overlay District (VCOD) zoning district, which was crafted to promote better design and more attractive redevelopment. The need to improve Route 28 was further articulated through our Community Visioning Project and draft Vision Plan. We are on the cusp ofsignificant redevelopment with the advent of municipal wastewater. An industrial looking cell tower ofthis type, height and location, which will be at the site for decades to come, is the antithesis of our community's vision for our major commercial corridor. Although we appreciate and understand the need for reliable wireless coverage, other cell carriers, such as Verizon, have been able to provide coverage for their users through a variety of methods that are far less intrusive and impactful to our community. The Planning Board may have further comments once the peer review by Isotrope Wireless has been completed and reviewed by the Board. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

McCormack, Chair - Cape Cod Commission Regulatory Committee cc: Jordan Velozo, Regulatory Planner – Cape Cod Commission From: Kathy Williams, Town Planner Date: June 10, 2021 Subject: Blue Sky Towers Monopole – CCC File No. 21005 - 1044 Route 28, South Yarmouth, MA COMMENTS - JUNE 9, 2021 PUBLIC HEARING As requested, I am submitting formal comments related to the June 9, 2021 DRI Public Hearing for the Blue Sky Wireless Tower proposed for 1044 Route 28, South Yarmouth. 1. Existing Concealed Monopole: I can confirm that the 70’ concealed monopole located at 1045 Route 28 was constructed with Verizon using the top two slots. It is my understanding that the bottom two slots remain open. 2. Planning Efforts: Route 28 is our main commercial corridor and sets the stage for how residents and visitors view Yarmouth. Through our ongoing Community Visioning Project, our residents have re- confirmed their desire to improve the look of Route 28. The Town has expended significant efforts over the years to improve Route 28 through various zoning initiatives (VCOD), regulatory relief (GIZ extension), and economic development tools (Opportunity Zone designation), all to promote aesthetically pleasing redevelopment of Route 28. We are also working hard on infrastructure improvements along Route 28 through the replacement of the Parkers River Bridge and MassDOT projects such as the resurfacing project from the Barnstable line to Parkers River. Route 28 is also included in the first phase of our municipal wastewater program. A 120’ monopole with exposed antennas in full view of Route 28 is the antithesis of what we are looking for and counter to our efforts to beautify Route 28. 3. Location, Height and Gap in Coverage: a. We appreciate the input from Isotrope Wireless as this is a complicated, technical topic that benefits from a peer review. Thank you to the Commission for requesting this review. b. Further analysis is needed to confirm that the proposed location and height are the least impactful ways to fill the gap in coverage. The Applicant should determine the wireless coverage using multiple ways to fill the coverage gap including: i. Adding AT&T on the WXTK tower. ii. Using the two unused slots on the existing concealed monopole tower at 1045 Route 28 and then identifying the remaining coverage gap. iii. Evaluating the potential of the other sites identified in the Isotrope Wireless report. iv. Evaluating coverage at lower heights. The Isotrope report notes that there is no demonstration that the 120’ height is necessary, but is proposed to allow for 4-carriers. I’m unclear on who the 4 carriers would be as Verizon already has a tower across the street and the only other carrier notified by the Applicant besides Verizon was DISH Wireless. Other carriers have found ways to balance the need for wireless infrastructure with the need to be less visually intrusive, often using multiple smaller facilities such as the 70’ concealed monopole across the Planning  Division  Blue Sky Tower – 1044 Route 28 - DRI Application June 10, 2021   Page 2 of 2    street, smaller antennas attached to utility poles, and wireless facilities located within church towers, such as at the South Yarmouth Methodist Church. 4. Aesthetics: If the 1044 Route 28 location is confirmed to be the best location, significant improvements would need to be made to camouflage the structure. The existing wooded vegetation to the north and west will provide some screening but the height of the pole exceeds the height of the trees and is fully exposed on the south side facing Route 28 and the majority of the east side facing Forest Road. As noted in the Isotrope report, “the focus of the defined term “camouflaged” is to make the facility look like something that is ordinarily associated with the Cape Cod environs.” The current exposed antennas on a 90’ or 120’ very large pole (6’ diameter at the base and 3’ at the top) are not hidden, located within an existing/proposed structure, or disguised in anyway and are objectionable to the Town of Yarmouth. The Applicant should be required to pursue various options for camouflaging the structure to hide the facility in plain sight. There are many different creative options that have been installed in other Towns that meet the needs of both the wireless carrier and the aesthetics of the community. In addition, improvements are needed to the equipment area which is currently proposed to have a 6’ chain link fence with razor wire, some evergreen trees for screening, and an exposed 12’ drive making the LP gas tanks fully visible from Route 28. Camouflaging the tower by making it something you’d want to look at also necessitates changes be made to the equipment area to locate it behind the structure with access off the side avoiding direct views from public roads and providing better screening, solid fencing and possible shelters. All utilities should be underground. 5. Waivers: The Applicant is requesting three waivers, two related to the height of the structure and one regarding the control over the fall zone. With the wireless facility as designed, no waiver in the height requirement should be provided. Furthermore, the Applicant should be required to have legal control over the fall zones to ensure these areas are not subsequently built upon and to retain the buffer trees which the Applicant is relying upon for screening. 6. Historical Commission Letter: Although the wireless facility is not located within the Bass River Historic District, it will be visible from the District from Photo Location 3. In their May 28th Memo, the Historical Commission felt the structure as currently proposed would impact the view shed and potentially degrade the integrity of the district. 7. Town Zoning: As pointed out in the Public Hearing by Commission Staff, several waivers from the Yarmouth Zoning Bylaw would be required as part of the Special Permit per Section 408. The Applicant will need to prove to the satisfaction of the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) that these waivers do not derogate from the intent of the Bylaw. REQUEST OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE: In conclusion, I would respectfully request that the Subcommittee not recommend the current application as presented to the full Cape Cod Commission; and that the Applicant be required to:  Conduct the further analysis regarding the proposed location and height as noted above.  Pursue various options for camouflaging the tower to hide the facility in plain sight and to adjust the location, design and access to the ground equipment area to make it less visible. Multiple options for camouflaging the tower should be presented.  Have legal control over the fall zones.  Provide two additional photo-simulations where the tower will be most visible; one from Route 28 just east of the Forest Road/Route 28 intersection looking west towards the monopole, and another from Forest Road south of the intersection looking northwest towards the monopole.  Although not mentioned at the Hearing, I would also request that the Applicant address the comments made in the CCC Staff Report, especially those of Isotrope Wireless. Thank you for the opportunity to provide these additional comments. T O W N O F Y A R M O U T H 1146 ROUTE 28, SOUTH YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS 02664-4492 Telephone (508) 398-2231, Ext. 1276, Fax (508) 398-2365 MEMORANDUM To: John H. McCormack, Chair Cape Cod Commission Regulatory Committee Cc: Jordan Velozo, Regulatory Planner – Cape Cod Commission From: Kathy Williams, Town Planner Date: June 1, 2021 Subject: Blue Sky Towers Monopole – CCC File No. 21005 1044 Route 28, South Yarmouth, MA COMMENTS ON DRI APPLICATION This Memo is in regard to the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) application submitted to the Cape Cod Commission (CCC) by Blue Sky Towers III, LLC, for a proposed 120’ monopole wireless communication tower at 1044 Route 28 in South Yarmouth. Planning Efforts: Significant effort has been expended by the Town of Yarmouth to promote aesthetically pleasing economic development and redevelopment along Route 28, our main commercial corridor. This has been done through various zoning and regulatory initiatives including the recent extension of the Yarmouth Growth Incentive Zone (GIZ) by the CCC. We have also worked to secure economic development tools such as the Opportunity Zone designation for a large section of Route 28 (from Parkers River to the Bass River). Route 28 was specifically chosen to be included in the first phase of our planned municipal wastewater system to further incentivize and encourage quality redevelopment. Improving Route 28 was also one of the most frequent comments coming out of the initial survey and workshops for the Community Visioning Project, further emphasizing its importance to our community. Although the Town acknowledges the need for reliable wireless coverage, the currently proposed design of the 120’ tall monopole with exposed antennas for up to four separate carriers and a base diameter of 6’ will be highly visible from Route 28 and is counter to our efforts to beautify our commercial corridor. Technical Bulletin: Technical Bulletin 97-001 Guidelines for DRI Review of Wireless Communication Towers sets forth minimum performance standards and development review policies for wireless communication towers. The DRI application included responses to each of the criteria and the applicant is seeking waivers from some of these standards. The following are comments on the DRI application. Section IV– Location: Paragraph A: To adequately provide the needed coverage, the wireless providers may need to provide multiple wireless service facilities, rather than one very large facility that is out of context Planning  Division  Blue Sky Tower – 1044 Route 28 - DRI Application June 1, 2021   Page 2 of 3   with the area and highly visible from Route 28. Other operators have found ways to balance the need for wireless infrastructure with the need to be less visually intrusive. Some examples in Yarmouth include:  A 70’ concealed monopole (all antennas located inside the pole) was constructed across the street from this property at 1045 Route 28. The applicant located the monopole and the equipment behind the existing building with solid fencing around the equipment area, and has minimal visual impact. The applicant for that project (Cellco Partnership d/b/a/ Verizon Wireless) was able to provide the needed additional cell coverage while successfully screening and camouflaging the cell tower from the public ways and neighbors. It is my understanding that Verizon has the top two slots and the two lower slots remain available.  Other wireless carriers are using smaller antennas that are attached to utility poles.  Other wireless carriers are locating their facilities within reconstructed church towers, such as at the South Yarmouth United Methodist Church on Old Main Street (within the Bass River Historic District). In 2014, AT&T received a Special Permit (Decision 4525) to construct a similar facility within the steeple of the Our Lady of the Highway church located on the same property with the equipment enclosed in a small shed like structure. This installation was never constructed. The Applicant should be required to evaluate the coverage provided by the two lower slots of the existing concealed monopole at 1045 Route 28. If additional coverage is needed, further evaluation of another location for a lower tower, or the other options noted above, should be investigated to meet their coverage needs and be less visually intrusive. Paragraph B: The height, exposed antennas, and location next to the open parking impact the ability to camouflage the structure using screening, landscaping or buffers. There are existing trees on the north and west sides which would remain, but the tree heights are lower than the 120’ and many of those trees are deciduous trees which would make the monopole more visible in the winter. The existing trees on the southern and eastern sides of the monopole will be removed to the edge of the parking lot and the small trees proposed as mitigation will not conceal a 90’ or 120’ monopole. In addition to the monopole, the applicant is proposing an equipment area surrounded by chain link fence with razor wire and all equipment placed on concrete pads. There are small trees proposed to camouflage the equipment area, but the close proximity to the parking lot and the 12’ access will leave this utilitarian area still visible to Route 28. Section V – Dimensional Requirements: Paragraph A - Height, General: The proposed height far exceeds 10’ above the average height of buildings within 300’ of the proposed facility. Most structures are single story commercial buildings with pitched roofs or single family homes and a 120’ tower would be over 4 times the average height of the surrounding structures. The maximum building height under Zoning within the B2 zoning district is only 35’. The tower with exposed antennas has not been camouflaged in any way and is completely out of context with its surroundings and counter to the planning efforts being made to improve the aesthetics of Route 28. It is industrial looking in nature, and will be highly visible from two public ways. With the cell tower as currently designed, no waiver in the height requirement should be provided. Blue Sky Tower – 1044 Route 28 - DRI Application June 1, 2021   Page 3 of 3   Paragraph B - Height, Ground-Mounted Facilities: As noted above, the height of 120’ far exceeds the height of existing trees on the north and west sides. The existing trees on the southern and eastern sides of the monopole will be removed to the edge of the parking lot and the small trees proposed as mitigation will not conceal a 90’ or 120’ monopole. With the cell tower as currently designed, no waiver in the height requirement should be provided. Paragraph D.1 - Setbacks: The Applicant proposes to have control over only 10,000 square feet of the property and is requesting a waiver from control over the fall zone. The Applicant should be required to have legal control over the fall zones to ensure these areas are not subsequently built upon and to retain the buffer trees which the Applicant has relied upon as buffering and screening of the tower in their photo simulations. Section VI.A – Special Regulations, Design Standards: Paragraph A.1 – Camouflage: Although a monopole is proposed, it is not a concealed antenna monopole. The four exposed antennas on such a tall and wide structure, in a location open to public ways, does not camouflage, “blend in” or hide the structure from public view. If other suitable locations cannot be found, more effort needs to be put into camouflaging the structure such as was done for the cell tower in East Harwich at the intersection of Route 137 and 39. This cell tower has the antennas within the flagpole to be hidden from public view and surrounded by a park like setting. Equipment areas are not readily visible. Consideration should also be given to lowering the height of the structure. Paragraph A.2 – Buffers: No existing buffer trees will remain on the southern side and most of the eastern side. No amount of new plantings can provide adequate buffering of the monopole from Route 28. Paragraph A.3 – Color: Even if the monopole itself could have a color that that blends in, the exposed antennas will not be that color and will be visible. Paragraph A.4 – Equipment Shelters: The use of chain link fencing with razor wire exacerbates the incompatibility with the neighborhood and will be visible from Route 28 through the access drive. Solid fencing and gate of a height sufficient to conceal the equipment should be provided. All utilities should be underground. Paragraph A.6 – Historic Districts: Although not in an historic district, the site in very close to the South Yarmouth/Bass River National Register Historic District and further camouflaging of the monopole is needed. The Yarmouth Historical Commission is providing their own comment letter. Paragraph A.7 – Scenic Landscapes and Vistas: As noted previously, the monopole and some of the ground equipment will be visible from public roads. There are no photo simulations of the location where the monopole would be most visible, at the adjacent Route 28/Forest Road signalized intersection where people will be stopped at the traffic light with the monopole in full view. A photo simulation should be done from Route 28 from the viewpoint just east of the intersection looking west towards the monopole. Another photo simulation should be done from Forest Road from the viewpoint just south of the intersection looking northwest towards the monopole.

McCormack, Chair Cape Cod Commission Regulatory Committee Cc: Jordan Velozo, Regulatory Planner – Cape Cod Commission From: Kathy Williams, Town Planner Date: May 31, 2021 Subject: Blue Sky Towers Monopole – CCC File No. 21005 1044 Route 28, South Yarmouth, MA YARMOUTH PERMIT REQUIREMENTS As requested, this Memo provides an outline of the permitting process in the Town of Yarmouth for the proposed Blue Sky Towers Monopole at 1044 Route 28, South Yarmouth. A separate comment letter will be provided on the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) application. Brief Description: Based on the application materials filed with the Commission, the applicant is proposing to construct a 120 foot tall monopole located just off the parking lot in a currently wooded area of the Our Lady of the Highway property at 1044 Route 28, South Yarmouth. The cell tower will have exposed antennas for up to four separate carriers. The ground equipment, generators, and LP gas tanks for the four carriers will be located on concrete pads behind a 6’ chain link fence with barbed wire, screened with evergreen trees 4’ to 6’ tall at planting. The grade at the cell tower will be raised to 13.6 with the grade in the adjacent parking area being at 10. Zoning: The property is located within the B2 Business District. The property abuts residential zoning districts to the north and most of the eastern property line. The property is also located in the Village Centers Overlay District (VCOD) Village Center 4 (VC4). This is an optional overlay district to incentivize redevelopment of Route 28 while requiring strict design standards. The project is being developed using the underlying B2 zoning district. Communication Facilities are considered an F7 use per Section 202.5 – Use Regulation Table. Communication facilities may be permitted in the B2 zoning district only under a Special Permit issued by the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) pursuant to Section 408 of the Zoning Bylaw. The main goal of Section 408 is to facilitate the availability of wireless service to the residents of Yarmouth while minimizing adverse visual and environmental effects and impact of communication antennas, communication buildings, and communication towers on the vistas of the community through careful design, siting, and vegetative screening. Planning Division Blue Sky Tower – 1044 Route 28 Yarmouth Permit Requirements May 31, 2021 Page 2 of 2 Per Section 408.4.1, the Board of Appeals may alter or waive one or more of the requirements of Section 408 if it finds that the alteration or waiver of the requirement(s) will not derogate from the intent of the bylaw. Based on the current design, required waivers may include, but are not limited to, the following:  408.7.1 General. All Communications Facilities shall be designed and sited so as to have the least adverse visual effect on the environment.  408.7.5.1 Scenic Landscapes and Vistas - Personal Wireless Service Facilities shall not be located within open areas that are discernable from public roads, recreational areas, or residential development.  408.7.6.1 Height, General. Regardless of the type of mount, Personal Wireless Service Facilities shall be no higher than ten feet above the average height of buildings within 300 feet of the proposed facility.  408.7.6.2 Height, Ground-Mounted Facilities. Ground-mounted Personal Wireless Service Facilities shall not project higher than ten feet above the average building height or, if there are no buildings within 300 feet, these facilities shall not project higher than ten feet above the average tree canopy height.  408.7.10.3 Camouflage by Vegetation: If Communications Facilities are not camouflaged from public viewing areas by existing buildings or structures, they shall be surrounded by buffers of dense tree growth and understory vegetation in all directions to create an effective year-round visual buffer. Ground-mounted Personal Wireless Service Facilities shall provide a vegetated buffer of sufficient height and depth to effectively screen the facility. Prior to submitting to the ZBA for a Special Permit, the project will need to go through the following:  Design Review with the Design Review Committee per Section 103.4.  Site Plan Review per Section 103.3 of the Bylaw. Any other non-land use town permits, such as permits for the LP Gas tanks, and any further relief required of the ZBA will be identified during the Site Plan Review process.

McCormack, Chair Cape Cod Commission Regulatory Committee FROM: Julie Mockabee, Chair Yarmouth Historical Commission CC: Yarmouth Board of Selectmen RE: Blue Sky Towers Monopole DATE: May 28, 2021 At their May 13, 2021 meeting, the Yarmouth Historical Commission discussed the Blue Sky Tower’s proposed installation of a 120’ monopole to be located at 1044 Route 28, South Yarmouth. While the proposed tower location is not within the boundaries of the Bass River Historic District, it is located in close proximity (0.2 miles away from the nearest boundary (12 Forest Road)). Comprising 108 acres, the Bass River Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district is characterized by an unusually well- preserved mix of residential, institutional, and commercial structures dating from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. At their meeting, the Yarmouth Historical Commission reviewed and discussed the visual simulations submitted as part of the Blue Sky Application to the Cape Cod Commission, noting the negative visual impact to the Bass River Historic District of the exposed antennas located on the 120’ cell tower. The Photolog map submitted to the Cape Cod Commission indicates the cell tower will be visible within the District from Photo Location 3 (see attached). The Historical Commission is concerned for the impacts to the view shed and potential degradation of the integrity of the District. With limited experience associated with the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) process, the Yarmouth Historical Commission would encourage the Cape Cod Commission to reach out to Yarmouth residents, in particular property owners within the Bass River Historic District, to inform them about the proposed cell tower project. 102146\000008\4104787 APPLICATION FOR FORMAL DESIGN REVIEW Blue Sky Towers III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, d/b/a BSTMA III, LLC c/o Ricardo M.

Therefore, theApplicant respectfully requests that the Committee approve of its Formal Design Reviewapplication described herein, pursuant to its authority under the Bylaw.I. BackgroundThe communication towers are utilized by wireless carriers that are licensed by the FCC.AT&T and T-Mobile are licensed by the FCC to construct and operate wirelesstelecommunications networks in various markets throughout the country, including theCommonwealth of Massachusetts and in particular the Town of Yarmouth. AT&T and T-Mobileare in the process of identifying gaps in coverage in their networks and designing sites tosupplement their respective telecommunications networks to serve all of the Commonwealth ofMassachusetts for reliable coverage. One of the key design objectives of their systems is toprovide seamless coverage. Such a system requires a gnd of radio transmitting and receivinglinks located approximately one-half (0.5) to two (2) miles apart, depending on the location ofexisting and proposed installations in the surrounding area, the existing use of the network andthe existing topography. The radio transmitting and receiving facilities operate on a line-of-sightbasis, requiring a clear path from the wireless telecommunications facility to the user on theground. The dynamic requires the antennas to be located above the tree line, and in a locationwhere the signal is not obstructed or degraded by other buildings or by topographical featuressuch as hills.II. The Tower and FacilityAs illustrated on the Plans, the Tower will be one hundred and ten feet (110.00') in heightand will be located within the one hundred foot (100.00') by one hundred foot (100.00') leasearea. Within the fenced compound lease area,the Facility is surrounded by natural barriers onevery side by atree line and screening trees. AT&T's panel antennas are proposed to beinstalled at a height of ninety five feet (95.00'), and T-Mobile's panel antennas are proposed tobe installed at a height of one hundred and five feet (105.00'), with both AT&T and T-Mobile'sappurtenant telecommunications equipment to be located within the fenced compound. Theantennas will be connected via coaxial cables installed with AT&T and T-Mobile's respectiveappurtenant equipment at the base of the Tower. The Tower provides for collocationopportunities for two (2) other FCC licensed carriers at centerline heights of seventy four feet(74.00') and eighty four feet (84.00'). Under current FCC regulations, the antennas are requiredto be separated by a minimum of three feet (3.00'). While the lease area will be fenced in, theFacility will also be further surrounded by a six foot (6.00') stockade fence.i:)i;ili'.iil!,; l"t"J[iir: i.. i'Yij l. jf']One lnternational Place, Suite 3700, Boston, MA 02110(617) 456-80001 02 I 46\000008\4 1 I 084 1 Town of Yannouth, Design Review ComrnitteeMarch 23,2022I'age l3After construction and installation, the Facility will be unmanned and will require onlybi-weekly visits by a single vehicle for routine maintenance. The only utilities required tooperate the Facility are standard one hundred and twenty (120) volt electrical power as well astelephone services, which will be installed on the Property as part of the Applicant's proposedproject. Finally, the Facility will comply with all applicable local, state and federal safety codes,including FCC regulations related to radio frequency emissions.III. Legal ArgumentThe Applicant is entitled to design review approval from the Committee because theproposed Facility complies with the design review objectives and Standards as set forth inSection 103.4.3 of the Bylaw.a) Yarmouth Architectural and Site Design Standards' Objectives.1. Protect and enhance the character and quality of Yarmouth whilemaintaining and strengthening a recognizable identity and characterthat is unique to Yarmouth.The Applicant is proposing to construct and install its Facility on an unused area of landon the Property located directly adjacent to the Our Lady of the Highway church. The Applicantis not proposing to construct its Facility on any portion of the land where the existing church islocated, and the existing church will remain untouched through construction and installation ofthe Applicant's proposed Facility. While the Tower is visible from the Property, the Tower andthe FaCility will be partially screened by the Property's natural tree line on the Property. TheProperty is located in the B2 zoningdistrict, making the site an ideal location for the Facility andits need to provide greater wireless telecommunication services to the Town. As such, theApplicant's proposed project utilizes a section of the property with dense tree growth in order toconstruct a structure that is designed to improve reliable, and necessary wireless coverage to thesurroundin g area. Moreover, the Applicant is proposing three (3) different stealth design optionsfor its Tower, including a monopole design, mono-pine design, and a bell tower design, all asshown on the Proposed Design Photographic Simulation document submitted herewith. TheApplicant is open to discussing alternative designs with the Town, provided that any suchdesigns meet the space configuration requirements for the equipment and antennas of thewireless providers. In all, the Applicant is committed to working with the Committee todetermine which design will effectively maintain and promote the character and quality of theTown.;'f; ji!{..,1, LOt.ll'jri.. i'Y'L I 1..,One lnternational Place, Suite 3700, Boston, MA 02110(617) 456-8000I 02 1 46\000008\4 1 1 084 I Town of Yarmouth, Design Review CommitteeMarch 23,2022Pagc l42. Enhance the human scale of development and respect the scale andcharacter of residential neighborhoods that adjoin commercial uses.As previously stated, the Applicant's proposed project is necessary to fiIl a significantgap in coverage in and around the surrounding area and to provide reliable wirelesstelicommunications services to the immediately surrounding area, and more specifically to theTown's residents. The Applicant's proposed Facility is crucial to closing the coverage gapwhich currently exists for at least two (2) wireless carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile). Theconstruction of the Facility will not require large scale development that would result indisruption to surrounding neighborhoods adjoining the Property. Alternatively, the Facility willallow the residents in the surrounding neighborhoods to take advantage of reliable wirelesscoverage, including access to emergency wireless services. As such, the Applicant's proposedFacility complies with this objectives of the Standards.3. Mitigate the negative visual impacts arising from the scale, bulk andmass inherent to large commercial buildings and centers.As noted above, the Applicant's proposed Facility will not require the same level ofconstruction seen in construction of large-scale developments. Furthermore, the construction ofthe proposed Facility will primarily be shielded by the Property's natural tree line so that it is notvisible from certain sections of the adjoining residential neighborhoods. Only the top section ofthe Tower will be visible from above the Property's tree line. The compound at the base of thetower will be shielded from view by the existing tree growth and the proposed landscaping andstockade fence proposed by the Applicant and highlighted in the Applicant's plans submittedherewith. Additionally, the Applicant is proposing various stealth design options for the Tower,including a monopole, mono-pine, and bell tower design. The design options are shown on theProposed Design Photographic Simulation document submitted herewith. The Applicant is opento discussing alternative designs with the Town, provided that any such designs meet the spaceconfiguration requirements for the equipment and antennas of the wireless providers. TheApplicant is committed to working with the Committee to determine a stealth design option that*iil "ff.rtively minimize adverse visual impacts. Overall, the Applicant's proposed project willmitigate negative visual impacts arising from the scale, bulk and mass inherent to largecommercial buildings and centers.l. Strengthen the pedestrian environment.As shown on the Plans, the Property directly adjoins residentially zoned districts withinthe Town. However, the Property is located in the 82 zoningdistrict surrounded by numerousbusiness and commercial property uses. The Applicant's proposed project will greatly serve thepedestrians within these areas by closing the coverage gap and providing reliable wirelesstelecommunications services to these individuals.::;E1ll{.;: i i}iji1}.. -i'r,tl r" !-.rrOne lnternational Place, Suite 3700, Boston, MA 02110(617) 456-8000I 02146\000008\41 10841 Town of Yarmouth, Design Review ComrnitteeMarch 23,2022Pagc l55. Allow for needed flexibility to respond to conditions and constraintsinherent to specific sites and specific areas within the community.As described in detail in the Alternative Site Analysis attached to this application, theApplicant analyzedthe viability of many other locations within the Town for its proposedfacitity. Upon performing its analysis, the Applicant concluded that the Property was the onlyfeasible location and the most suitable location for its proposed Facility for the reasons andcriteria set forth in the Alternative Site Analysis. Furthermore, the Alternative Site Analysisrecognizes that the area of significant gap in coverage and capacity is localized to the area in theTown where the Property is located, which consists primarily of residential properties,recreational u."ur ard apond. The nature ofthe significant coverage gap presents certainconstraints on the siting of a tower within this area of the Town. As such, the Applicant hasdetermined that, Appliiant's proposed Facility on the subject Property is the only feasible site toclose the significantgap in coverage for both FCC licensed carriers who have joined in thisApplication.6. Provide flexibility to respond to the unique characteristics andconstraints inherent to mixed use development and to evolvingdevelopment confi gurations.Similarly noted above, the Applicant's proposed Facility is crucial to closing thesignificant gap in coverage experienced in the Town. With an influx of individuals to the Townduring the spring and summer months, and with ongoing development in the 92 zoning district,there is a need to improve the wireless coverage in this area and the proposed Facility on theProperty is the most suitable location for the Facility in order to successfully close the gap in"ou.rug". Moroover, the Facility's visual impacts on sulrounding residential neighborhoods willbe minimized by the fact that the Tower will be well-hidden behind the Property's nature treeline and additional trees willbe planted to act as natural screening barriers to the equipmentcompound at the base of the Tower.7. Require and promote building designs and practices that areadaptable to multiple uses for extended building lifecycles.While AT&T and T-Mobile have already established lease agreements for installation oftheir antennas on the Tower, the Tower is capable of collocation up to two (2) more wirelesstelecommunications carriers. As such, the Applicant's proposed Facility promotes multiplewireless users on the Tower through collocation while also providing adaptability to the carriersfor future equipment and technology upgrades (such as 5G services) in order to maintain futureservice needs.'i,i;iiiriflli:: L.riBi.:L i YII J. { i)One lnternational Place, Suite 3700, Boston, MA 02110(617) 456-8000102146\000008\4 I I 0841 Town of Yarmouth, Design Review ComrnitteeMarch 23,2022I'agc l68. Minimize negative impacts from on-site activities to adjacent uses.As stated above and as shown on the Plans, the Facility will be surrounded by a six foot(6') stockade fence. Additionally, the Property's natural tree line will be maintained to provide avisual buffer between the Facility and the surrounding property, and additional trees will beplanted to provide a screening buffer for the equipment at the base of the Tower. Moreover, themajority oith" Tower's structure is hidden behind the Property's natural tree growth' Theracifity will be served by one (1) driveway as a means for access, which will only be utilized ona bi-weekly basis for routine maintenance visits. The fences will be locked and secured, and anyappurtenant equipment at the base of the Tower will be secured appropriately. As such, theApplicant's prbpbsed project minimizes the visual impacts from adjacent properties and thedesign elements ensures that the Facility will be safely secured.g, Balance the economic requirements of the development withaesthetic concerns of the community.The Applicant's proposed project will balance the economic requirements of the Facilitywith the aesthetic concerns of the community. As previously stated, the proposed Facility iscrucial to closing the significant gap in coverage in the Town and the Applicant's AlternativeSite Analysis indicate. ihut the property is the only feasible location for the Facility. While theApplicani's Facility will close the gap in wireless coverage, the Applicant has ensured that theu"rth"ti" concerns of the community are addressed. The Facility will be surrounded by thenatural tree line and additional trees will be planted to provide a screening buffer between theFacility. As shown on the Plans, the Applicant has presented a landscaping plan that accountsfor the initial planting, maintenance and care of the trees to be planted as part of this project.Furthermore, as stated above, the Applicant's proposed Facility is crucial for filling a significantgap in coverage throughout the Town. While the proposed Facility will effectively close the gapIn "ou"ruge, the Appl[ant is proposing various stealth designs that will minimize negative visualimpacts. As such, the Applicant has demonstrated that the proposed Facility balances both theeconomic need for the Tower and the aesthetic concerns of the Town.10. Promote energy and resource efficiency.As stated previously, the only utilities required to operate the Facility after its completionare standard one hundred and twenty (120) volt electrical power as well as telephone services.Furthermore, the Applicant proposes the use of natural resources, such as the existing tree lineand planting additional trees for a screening buffer, to minimize visual impacts from the Facility.As a result, the Facility's use of electrical services will be de minimize and the Applicant istaking affirmative steps to make use of natural resources to alleviate visual impacts.1.L.

Demonstration that all existing structures have been identified and fairly rejected. a) Provide results from tower databases, town records, Cape Cod Commission maps, and other reasonably available resources to identify potential sites on existing structures. b) Provide aerial photographs of sufficient resolution and coverage to identify significant features such as utility rights of way, towers, steeples, tanks, and other existing tall structures. c) For a) and b), consider area greater than the typical "search ring." Extend search for existing structures to the acceptable coverage contours of adjacent sites. d) Provide propagation plots to demonstrate anticipated coverage from rejected sites or structures. e) Identify whether a combination of the existing structures considered in a. and b. could address the coverage and/or capacity problem defined in item 1). f) Provide documentation that demonstrates that sites with potentially good coverage are not available or otherwise unusable. BACKGROUND The radiofrequency (“RF”) spectrum is an allotment of frequencies used for the transmission of radio waves over long distances.1 These radio waves carry data to and from devices used in television, AM and FM radio, XM/Sirius satellite radio, DirecTV, LoJack, radar, garage door openers, baby monitors, walkie talkies, cordless phones, and remote controls. This spectrum is also utilized by wireless carriers like T-Mobile and AT&T to provide a wide variety of services such as phone, internet, email, video and music clips, mobile television, text messaging, games, and software applications. Like visible light, radio waves require a clear “line of sight” in order to function properly. That is, there must be a clear, unobstructed path between the transmitter and the receiver. If there are any obstacles in this path, such as trees or buildings, the radio waves can be attenuated. Attenuation is a reduction in signal strength of radio waves. The closer that the obstruction is to the transmitter or receiver, the greater that the signal will be disrupted. SUMMARY Blue Sky Towers III, LLC (“Blue Sky”) has prepared this Alternative Site Analysis in order to describe the process for evaluating potential sites for a wireless facility in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. 1 The RF spectrum is just one part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum contains all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, x-rays, microwaves, infrared and ultraviolet radiation, and gamma rays. The process of identifying a technologically appropriate location, as well as the need for this communications facility is provided in the RF Analysis prepared by T- Mobile’s RF Engineer and RF Report as prepared by C Squared Systems, LLC for AT&T on July 6, 2020. As certified in those reports, T -Mobile and AT&T have identified the need to add a new facility to their existing network of sites in this area of Yarmouth to improve coverage and capacity to a gap in service that now exists throughout much of South Yarmouth. To maintain a reliable and robust communications system for the individuals, businesses, public safety workers and others who use its network, T-Mobile and AT&T deploy a network of cell sites (also called wireless communications facilities) throughout the areas in which they are licensed to provide service. 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 area, and also work properly as part of the overall network. The area of the significant gap in coverage and capacity in this area of South Yarmouth consists primarily of residential properties, recreational areas and ponds. T-Mobile and AT&T performed an extensive search of all existing structures within their search areas in order to find an appropriate site for a wireless facility. There were no existing structures in the area that were suitable for attachment of wireless equipment to close T-Mobile and AT&T’s significant gap in coverage. Aerial Photo Showing Area SITE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS Using the search areas identified by the radiofrequency engineers, T-Mobile and AT&T’s site acquisition specialists attempted to locate tall buildings, structures or wireless towers within the search ring for the co-location of their wireless equipment. Whenever, possible, T-Mobile and AT&T will co-locate on an existing structure instead of building a new tower. The only identified existing telecommunications tower within the search area is located at 1045 Route 28. The telecommunications tower consists of a 70’ tall monopole designed for antennas mounted internally inside of canisters. The available centerline heights for the installation of internally mounted antennas is at 45’ and 35’ centerline heights. The available heights would not allow T-Mobile and AT&T to address the significant gap in coverage and capacity in their respective networks in this area of South Yarmouth. Furthermore, a monopole with internally mounted antennas rather than externally mounted on an antenna platform involves reducing the number of antennas on the tower and limits spatial diversity causing diminution in performance resulting in a loss of signal strength that could result in increases in the number of dropped calls and disrupted data transmissions. T-Mobile and AT&T’s agents were unable to find an existing structure that would close its significant gap in wireless coverage. It was therefore necessary to find a “raw land” site and construct a tower in order to close the gap. Blue Sky then attempted to locate a property used for commercial or institutional purposes within the search area for the construction of a new wireless facility that also possessed the necessary attributes for siting a new telecommunication tower. Blue Sky analyzed numerous properties within the search area to find a site that would meet the following criteria: • Sufficient ground space to permit construction of a wireless facility; • Sufficient and unobstructed airspace to allow for the installation and maintenance of the tower, and effective propagation of wireless signals; • Sufficient setback from lot lines, public ways, and residential structures; • Adequate screening between proposed facility and residential areas; • Topography that does not prevent the effective propagation of wireless signals; • Avoidance of locations that would be in close proximity to residential structures; • Avoidance of locations within or close to historical structures or districts; • Avoidance of locations within wetlands or other environmentally sensitive areas; • Lack of adverse title conditions in land records for the property; • Lack of environmental contamination at the site and in the surrounding area; • Appropriate separation from airports, heliports, instrument approach area, or other aviation structure or area as required by the Federal Aviation Administration; • Proper soil conditions to ensure that the tower foundation will be secure; • Ability to bring utilities (power and telephone) onto the property; • Unobstructed vehicle access to the area of the proposed facility; and • Ability to secure a lease with the landowner on commercially reasonable terms. In considering the location for the wireless communications facility, Blue Sky also considered compliance with Town of Yarmouth Zoning Bylaws. The Bylaws impose standards for vegetative screening, height and setback distances. When considering locations for the proposed wireless communications facility, Blue Sky endeavored to find a property that would allow for compliance with the provisions and intent of the Town of Yarmouth Zoning Bylaws. The only identified commercially or institutionally used lot in the area that was of sufficient area, satisfied lot coverage requirement, offered a vegetative screening and otherwise satisfied the criteria listed above is the property at 1044 Route 28. Almost all other lots in the area are used for residential purposes that are too small or are commercially used properties that are too crowded, lacked sufficient vegetative screening and were therefore ruled out as feasible alternatives. This Analysis concludes that the site on the 1044 Route 28 property is the most suitable site to support the necessary facility to close T-Mobile’s and AT&T’s significant gap in coverage. CONCLUSION Based on the requirements of the Town of Yarmouth Zoning Bylaws and standards of the Cape Cod Commission, the existing conditions and land use and for the above listed reasons as well as the results of the review and analysis, the location at 1044 Route 28 is the only feasible location for the proposed facility. 8 SUPPLEMENTAL ALTERNATIVE SITE ANALYSIS 1044 Route 28 South Yarmouth, MA ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE SITES Most residentially used lots within the search ring are small lots that had very little free space due to building coverage and would not satisfy setback requirements. Almost none of them had any vegetative screening. For those reasons, the vast majority of residentially used lots within the search ring were ruled out as viable candidates. PROPOSED SITE Site ID Address Description MA-5104 South Yarmouth 1044 Route 28 (Map 50, Lot 189.1) The existing Our Lady of the Highway Chapel church building is located in the northern end of the lot and immediately surrounded by a grass lawn area, and then by a large, parking lot. In accordance with the request, eight additional raw land sites were considered by Blue Sky, but ultimately rejected as feasible alternatives.

Generator Manufacturer Certificate of Conformity RE027, EH&S Notification Template Form for EH310, Generator and Engine Manufacturer Documents Version 2.0 PRIME POWER DC GENERATOR SET 8340-100 series RUGGED POWER SMALL FOOTPRINT. Polar’s DC generator is considerably smaller in size than an AC generator. You can now backup sites that could not accommodate an AC generator. Smaller also means less cost for space leasing. LOW MAINTENANCE. Due to oversized oil sump, and oil/fuel filtration system. LOW ACOUSTIC NOISE. <62 dBA @ 7 meters for LPG, and low vibration so as not to disturb the local residents or building landlords. LIGHTWEIGHT. Up to 1/3 the weight of a comparable AC generator. CORROSION RESISTANT. All-aluminum enclosure with stainless hardware for low maintenance, and long service life. FUEL EFFICIENT. Up to 85% fuel savings due to smaller engine displacement, high efficiency alternator, and variable speed operation. RODENT RESISTANT. Small animals can quickly destroy a generator set by gnawing on wires, fuel lines, radiator hoses, etc. Cooling air inlets and outlets have perforated aluminum screens to keep small rodents and large insects out. Stainless steel wire braid is placed over fuel and radiator lines to prevent damage. SUPERCAPACITOR STARTER. Failure to start is the number one problem plaguing generator reliability and typically this is caused by a bad starting battery. Polar unique design has replaced the starting battery with a Super Capacitor. Capacitors are more reliable and last longer than batteries (10-15 year life). LONG LIFE. Controls and wire harnesses are designed to exceed a 20 year life. Higher grade, longer life electrical wire (UL 3173), weather tight connectors, gold plated connector pins on signal circuits. No transfer switches are required. ADVANCED MONITORING. Remote diagnostics, control, and monitoring. Ethernet and RS232 standard, with optional SNMP. Founded in 1979 Polar Power specialized in solar photovoltaic systems, solar air conditioning and refrigeration. We developed and provided photovoltaic charging controls for telecommunications in the 1980s along with DC generators for the military. In 1994 we were first to provide DC generators with remote control and monitoring to the telecommunications industry. Polar’s success is based on engineering generators to meet the very specific needs of each application.  Telecom site optimization is best met with the DC generator technology as the loads and batteries are DC.  It makes no sense to install an AC generator and convert the output to DC. The AC generators are designed for a wide range of applications and they are not specifically produced for telecom applications so there are issues with reliability, space, and fuel efficiency.  Polar can save you considerable time and cost in permitting, installing, purchasing, and maintaining a backup generator. We reduce CAPEX and OPEX costs while improving backup reliability. The concepts and features behind Polar’s Hybrid application generator for telecommunications include: Made in USA 2 year standard warranty Meets EPA Emission Regulations CA/MA Emissions Compliant 8340-100 series1 of 5 Intertek 4003706 Conforms to UL STD 2200 Certified to CSA STD C22.2 No. 100 Available Models: • 8340-100-LP-15-03 LPG 15 kW -48 VDC 100 seriesAPPLICATION AND ENGINEERING DATA 8220 ALTERNATOR FEATURES • No mechanical adjustments • Very lightweight • Class 220° C insulation • High quality electrical output • Anodized type III process for aluminum parts • Voltage and current regulation • Nickel plating for steel parts • Up to 94% efficiency • Stator is varnished COMPARING THE COST OF AC vs DC AC DC Transfer switch required Yes No Permitting costs $$$ Shipping to site and installation cost $$$ Site preparation/reinforcing struc- tures $$$$ Ethernet/RS232 remote control and monitoring Extra Standard PERMITTING IS FACILITATED 249 E.
