Re: Notice of Exempt ModificationRadio Communications Corp./ MetroPCS co-locationSite ID CTNH520A21 Birchwood Drive Ansonia

Dear Attorney Bachman:

This office represents MetroPCS Massachusetts, LLC ("MetroPCS") and has beenretained to file exempt modification filings with the Connecticut Siting Council on its behalf.

In this case, Radio Communications Corporation owns the existing latticetelecommunications tower and related facility at 21 Birchwood Drive, Ansonia, Connecticut(Latitude: 41.329078, Longitude:-73.056294 ). MetroPCS intends to add three new antennasand related equipment at this existing telecommunications facility in Ansonia ("AnsoniaFacility"). Please accept this letter as notification, pursuant to R.C.S.A. § 16-50j-73, ofconstruction which constitutes an exempt modification pursuant to R.C.S.A. § 16-50j-72(b)(2).In accordance with R.C.S.A. § 16-50j-73, a copy of this letter is being sent to the Mayor DavidS. Cassetti, and the property owner, Robert Knapp.

The existing Ansonia Facility consists of an approximately 59 foot guyed lattice tower.'MetroPCS plans to add three antennas on standoff arm mounts at a centerline of 56 feet.(See the plans revised to October 31, 2014 attached hereto as Exhibit A). MetroPCS will alsoinstall an equipment cabinet and three RRUs (remote radio units) on proposed unistrutsmounted to the existing ice bridge post as well as install coax cable and reuse existing coaxcables. With modifications, the existing Ansonia Facility is structurally capable of supportingMetroPCS' proposed equipment additions, as indicated in the Tower Reinforcement Letter

The Ansonia Facility is not listed on the Council's online database as being approved via a Docket or Petition butis the subject of a notice of intent captioned EM-METROPCS-002-140826.

November 4, 2014Site ID CTNH520APage 2

dated October 20, 2014 and stamped October 29, 2014, attached hereto as Exhibit B. The

Tower Reinforcement Letter provides that the Ansonia Facility is structurally capable of

supporting MetroPCS' installation if the tower is modified in accordance with the proposed

reinforcement plan dated October 14, 2014. That reinforcement plan is provided in Exhibit B.

An initial Structural Analysis Report dated September 15, 2014 and stamped October 29, 2014

is also provided in Exhibit B.

The planned modifications to the Ansonia Facility fall squarely within those activities

explicitly provided for in R.C.S.A. § 16-50j-72(b)(2).

1 . The proposed modification will not increase the height of the tower. MetroPCS'

additional antennas will be installed at a centerline of 56 feet, merely replacing existing

antennas located at the same 56 foot elevation. The enclosed tower drawing confirms that the

proposed modification will not increase the height of the tower.

2 . The proposed modifications will not require an extension of the site boundaries

or lease area, as depicted on Sheets 2 of Exhibit A. MetroPCS' equipment will be located

entirely within the existing compound area.

3 . The proposed modification to the Ansonia Facility will not increase the noise

levels at the existing facility by six decibels or more.

4 . The operation of the additional antennas will not increase the total radio

frequency (RF) power density, measured at the base of the tower, to a level at or above the

applicable standard. According to a Radio Frequency Emissions Analysis Report prepared by

EBI dated October 28, 2014, MetroPCS' operations would add 56.66% of the FCC Standard.

Therefore, the calculated "worst case" power density for the planned combined operation at

the site including all of the proposed antennas would be 91.98% of the FCC Standard as

calculated for a mixed frequency site as evidenced by the engineering exhibit attached hereto

as Exhibit C.

For the foregoing reasons, MetroPCS respectfully submits that the proposed antennas

and equipment at the Ansonia Facility constitutes an exempt modification under R.C.S.A. §

16-50j-72(b)(2). Upon acknowledgement by the Council of this proposed exempt modification,

MetroPCS shall commence construction approximately sixty days from the date of the

Council's notice of acknowledgement.

RE: AnsoniaTower Reinforcement Letter21 Birchwood DriveAnsonia, CT 06401KM Proposal No. 140604.0

Dear Mr. Freincle,

Further to your request, KM Consulting Engineers, Inc. (KMCE) has reviewed the structural capability of theAnsonia guyed tower to support the proposed MetroPCS installation with the proposed reinforcement byKMCE dated 10/14/14.

The proposed MetroPCS loading includes (3) Andrew APX16DWV 16DWVS panel antennas, (3)Commscope LNX-6515DS-VTM panel antennas, (3) TwinBS TMAs, (3) TwinB4 TMAs, and (18) 7/8" coaxlines.

With the proposed modifications installed on the tower, KMCE finds the tower superstructure to beacceptable to support the proposed MetroPCS installation as per the TIA/EIA-222-F standards. The towersuperstructure is rated at 97%, the guy wires are rated at 86.1 %, the base foundation is rated at 15.9%, andthe guy anchors are rated at 75.8%.

Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Sincerely,KM CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.

3.0 COMMENTARY

Our scope of work is to determine if the existing structure is capable of withstanding theadditional stresses/forces imposed by the installation of the proposed MetroPCSequipment noted in the tower inventory.

The tower member layout/sizes and foundation information were obtained from previousstructural analysis by KM Consulting Engineers Inc. (KMCE) dated July 11, 2014 andverified with original Rohn 45G assembly drawings. Guy location was updated basedon Atlantis Group mapping report. Guy anchor reinforcement details were obtained fromKMCE drawings dated 7/20/09. Antenna inventory was obtained from a recent mappingof the tower. Proposed reinforcement by KMCE dated 8/5/14 was included in themodel.

The following report will provide analytical calculations and commentary regarding thecapacity of the proposed tower and subsequent recommendations.

4.0 ANALYSIS PROCEDURE

KM Consulting Engineers, Inc. carried out their structural analysis by correlating fieldinspection and tower member data into proprietary software designed specifically forcommunication tower analysis.

These programs run in conjunction with the guidelines set down in the EIA/TIA-222-FJune 1996 Standard "Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and AntennaSupporting Structures".

The existing tower is analyzed by placing wind forces on the structure in 30° positionalincrements around the tower (ie. wind pressure directly onto the tower corners, facesand parallel to the faces). This enables the user to "create" athree-dimensionalrepresentation, yielding results for worst case scenarios. In effect, the production ofthese results allows the user to study the structural integrity of the tower wheninfluenced by wind forces from any direction.

The proceeding report includes analysis for the tower with the addition of antennas inthe scenarios stated. For clarity, the analysis shall include worst case loadings and atypical elevation view with maximum foundation loads tabulated.

5.0 TOWER ANALYSIS RESULTS

The tower was analyzed for the inventory detailed in Section 2.0 "Tower Inventory".

Structural wind speed is in accordance with TIA/EIA-222-F listing applicable to NewHaven, CT: 85 MPH (fastest mile), no ice and 74 MPH (fastest mile), 1/2" radial ice.

All allowable capacities have been calculated to comply with the permitted EIAallowable increases (for wind). All bolts loaded in shear assume the threads areincluded in the shear plane.

Load Case No. 1: Proposed inventory of (3) Andrew APX16DWV 16DWVS panelantennas, (3) Commscope LNX-6515DS-VTM panel antennas , (3) TwinB2 TMAs, (3)TwinB4 TMAs, (12) existing 7/8" coax lines, and (6) proposed 7/8" coax lines.

The tower superstructure and guy wires are found to not have sufficient capacity andtherefore do not meet the current standards. The base foundation and guy anchors arefound to have sufficient capacity. The tower superstructure is rated at 153.3%, the guywires are rated at 101.2%, the guy anchors are rated at 75.8%, and the base foundationis also acceptable.

6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

Further to our calculations, we conclude that the existing tower superstructure does nothave adequate capacity and therefore does not meet the current EIA/TIA-222-F designstandards. The existing tower superstructure requires reinforcement to support theproposed MetroPCS installation.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions or concerns regardingthis report.

Emissions Analysis for Site: CTNH520A —Knapp Ansonia Lattice Tower

EBI Consulting was directed to analyze the proposed MetroPCS facility located at 21 Birchwood Drive,

Ansonia, CT, for the purpose of determining whether the emissions from the Proposed MetroPCS

Antenna Installation located on this property are within specified federal limits.

All information used in this report was analyzed as a percentage of current Maximum Permissible

Exposure (% MPE) as listed in the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-Oland ANSI/IEEE Std C95.1. The

FCC regulates Maximum Permissible Exposure in units of microwatts per square centimeter (µW/cm2).

The number of µW/cmZ calculated at each sample point is called the power density. The exposure limit

for power density varies depending upon the frequencies being utilized. Wireless Carriers and Paging

Services use different.frequencypands each with different exposure limits, therefore it is necessary to

report results and limits in terms of percent MPE rather than power density.

All results were compared to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) radio frequency exposure

rules, 47 CFR 1.1307(b)(1) — (b)(3), to determine compliance with the Maximum Permissible Exposure

(MPE) limits for General Population/Uncontrolled environments as defined below.

General population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general public maybe

exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made

fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Therefore,

members of the general public would always be considered under this category when exposure is not

employment related, for example, in the case of a telecommunications tower that exposes persons in a

nearby residential area.

Public exposure to radio frequencies is regulated and enforced in units of microwatts per square

centimeter (µW/cm2). The general population exposure limit for the 700 MHz Band is 467 µW/cmZ, and

the general population exposure limit for the PCS and AWS bands is 1000 µW/cmZ. Because each carrier

will be using different frequency bands, and each frequency band has different exposure limits, it is

necessary to report percent of MPE rather than power density.

OccupationaUcontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a

consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are exposed have been made fully

aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. OccupationaUcontrolled

exposure limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental passage through

a location where exposure levels maybe above general population/uncontrolled limits (see below), as

long as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise

control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means.

Additional details can be found in FCC OET 65.

CALCULATIONS

Calculations were done for the proposed MetroPCS Wireless antenna facility located at 21 Birchwood

Drive, Ansonia, CT, using the equipment information listed below. All calculations were performed per

the specifications under FCC OET 65. Since MetroPCS is proposing highly focused directional panel

antennas, which project most of the emitted energy out toward the horizon, all calculations were

performed assuming a lobe representing the ma~mum gain of the antenna per the antenna manufactures

supplied specifications, minus 10 dB, was focused at the base of the tower. For this report the sample

point is the top of a 6 foot person standing at the base of the tower.

For all calculations, all equipment was calculated using the following assumptions:

1) 2 GSM channels (PCS Band - 1900 MHz) were considered for each sector of the proposed

installation. These Channels have a transmit power of 30 Watts per Channel

2) 2 UMTS channels (AWS Band — 2100 MHz) were considered for each sector of the proposed

installation. These Channels have a transmit power of 30 Watts per Channel.

3) 2 LTE channels (AWS Band — 2100 MHz) were considered for each sector of the proposed

installation. These Channels. have a transmit power of 60 Watts per Channel.

4) 1 LTE channel (700 MHz Band) was considered for each sector of the proposed installation.

This channel has a transmit power of 30 Watts.

5) All radios at the proposed installation were considered to be running at full power and were

uncombined in their RF transmissions paths per carrier prescribed configuration. Per FCC

OET Bulletin No. 65 -Edition 97-01 recommendations to achieve the ma~mum anticipated

value at each sample point, all power levels emitting from the proposed antenna installation

are increased by a factor of 2.56 to account for possible in-phase reflections from the

surrounding environment. This is rarely the case, and if so, is never continuous.

6) For the following calculations the sample point was the top of a six foot person standing at

the base of the tower. The maximum gain of the antenna per the antenna manufactures

supplied specifications minus 10 dB was used in this direction. This value is a very

conservative estimate as gain reductions for these particular antennas are typically much

higher in this direction.

7) The antennas used in this modeling are the RFS APXI6DWV-16DWVS-E-A20 for 1900

MHz (PCS) and 2100 MHz (AWS) channels and the Commscope LNX-6515DS-VTM for

700 MHz channels. This is based on feedback from the carrier with regards to anticipated

antenna selection. The RFS APXI6DWV-16DWVS-E-A20 has a maximum gain of 16.3

dBd at its main lobe. The Commscope LNX-6515DS-VTM has a ma~cimum gain of 14.6

dBd at its main lobe. The maximum gain of the antenna per the antenna manufactures

supplied specifications, minus 10 dB, was used for all calculations. This value is a very

conservative esrimate as gain reductions for these particular antennas are typically much

higher in this direction.

8) The antenna mounting height centerlines of the proposed antennas are 56 feet and 46 feet

above ground level (AGL).

9) Emissions values for additional carriers were taken from the Connecticut Siting Council

active database. Values in this database are provided by the individual carriers themselves.

All calculations were done with respect to uncontrolled /general public threshold limits.

Summary

All calculations performed for this analysis yielded results that were within the allowable limits for

general public exposure to RF Emissions.

The anticipated maximum composite contributions from the MetroPCS facility as well as the site

composite emissions value with regards to compliance with FCC's allowable limits for general public

exposure to RF Emissions are shown here:

Met~oPCS Sector Power Density Value (°Io)Sector l: 18.89 %Sector 2: 18.89Sector 3 : 18.89 %

MetroPCS Total: 56.66 %

Site Total: 91.98 %

Site Com liance Status: COMPLIANT

The anticipated composite MPE value for this site assuming all carriers present is 91.98 °Io of the

allowable FCC established general public limit sampled at the ground level. This is based upon values

listed in the Connecticut Siting Council database for existing carrier emissions.

FCC guidelines state that if a site is found to be out of compliance (over allowable thresholds), that

carriers over a 5% contribution to the composite value will require measures to bring the site into

compliance. For this facility, the composite values calculated were well within the allowable 100%

threshold standard per the federal government.
