PETITION NO: ##4782
HEARING DATE: December 13, 2018
PETITIONER: Cellco Partnership dlb/a Verizon Wireless
PROPERTY: Existing Utility Pole 41S located in public right of way adjacent

Notice of the hearing has been given by sending notice thereof to the Petitioner and all those
owners of property as required by law, and to the public by posting notice of the hearing and
publishing in The Register, the hearing opened and held on the date stated above.
The Petition was presented by Peter D. Anderson, Esq. of McLane Middleton P.A., Ralph
Colorusso of Nexius and Dan Brown of CSquared Systems on behalf of Cellco Partnership d/b/a
Verizon Wireless ("VZW") concerning VZW's petition to install, operate and maintain Small
Cell and Cloud Radio Access Network ("CRAN") wireless communication antennas and
supporting equipment to be mounted to a new utility pole that is replacing an existing utility pole
4IS, which is located in the public right of way adiacent to Route 28, Yarmouth, in an
B3/HMOD1 Zoning District.
The proposed installation will consist of a 38.7-inch tall canister antenna, which will be mounted
to the top of a new utility pole that is replacing an existing utility pole. The antenna resembles a
traditional electric transformer similar to those already located on utility poles throughout the
area. Additional supporting equipment (including a remote radio head, electrical junction box
and meter, and fiberoptic and power connections) will be mounted to the exterior of the pole,
resulting in a self-contained antenna facility without the need for further infrastructure.
