Dear Ms. McDougall:

Subject: WIND Mobile (“WIND”) Telecommunications Facility Proposal Information Package

Address or Legal: 32086 Lougheed Highway, Mission, BC, V2V 4J3 PID: 003-060-136 Coordinates: N 49.130887 °, W -122.334881 ° WIND Site: BAB0024 – Silver Creek

Overview

Cypress Land Services, in our capacity as agent to WIND, is submitting this information package (“Information Package”) to initiate the consultation process related to the installation and operation of a telecommunications facility. We have been in preliminary consultation with the District of Mission in an effort to review the 41m monopole tower proposal and ensure there are no outstanding land use concerns. The monopole is required in order to launch WIND’s wireless network service in Mission, BC. This Information Package is intended to formalize the consultation process.

Proposed Site

It is proposed to situate the facility at the rear of the property behind the Sikh temple. The facility will be accessed through the existing parking area on the property. (Schedule A: Tower Site Location).

Rationale for Site Selection

WIND Mobile requires the proposed facility to launch its network in the Mission area. This site is one of four wireless sites required to launch its network. In order to launch its network WIND requires a site in this immediate vicinity in order for this facility to appropriately operate with the other three sites in the network.

WIND Site: BAB0024 Page 2 of 12

The proposed site is a result of many considerations. Existing structures and towers were reviewed. The nearest tower, owned by Rogers, is approximately 3 km from the proposed site and will not provide coverage to the intended area as it is too far away and does not have line of site to the intended users in Mission. There are no buildings or structures high enough to place antenna equipment in order to meet the coverage needs of a wireless site in this area.

The proposed location is considered to be appropriate and reflective of the objectives outlined in the District of Mission “Land Use Wireless Telecommunication Towers Policy, LAN.46”. The site is located on private land in an Institutional Assembly Zone (IA), is well set back from the highway and is largely removed from residential uses and views. The tower will be partially visible from the Highway and Rail Avenue. The combination of the lower land elevation and setback from highway will limit visibility of the monopole.

Tower Proposal Details

WIND is proposing to install a 41m monopole tower with flush mounted antennas to reduce visibility of the tower. An enclosed equipment compound is proposed at the base of the monopole and is required to operate the facility. WIND has completed preliminary design plans (Schedule B: Preliminary Plans) as well as a photo-simulation (Schedule C: Photo-simulation). These preliminary design plans are subject to final engineered design, land survey and approval of Transport Canada. Transport Canada approval may require tower lighting and/or marking. The photo-simulation is for conceptual purposes only.

WIND encourages comments from the District of Mission regarding the proposed location and design of the tower. Applications to both NavCanada and Transport Canada have been submitted. Comments from both are pending.

Consultation Process with the District of Mission

The District of Mission has adopted a “Land Use Wireless Telecommunication Towers Policy, LAN.46” which outlines a detailed process under which tower applications are managed. This policy clearly outlines a defined review and consultation process.

As co-location is encouraged for new tower installations, WIND requested that other carriers respond to a written request for co-location. TELUS and Rogers declined interest in co-locating.Copies of returned co-location are included see Schedule D: Co-location Letters.

As discussed with staff and Council Members, WIND will hold a combined public open house meeting to review both this tower and the other tower (BAB0012) at the same meeting within the context of its network deployment plans with the community. WIND will also meet with the local Community Association Executives, if one exists, as one of the initial steps in the consultation process, subsequent to the application submission. WIND will notify residents

WIND Site: BAB0024 Page 3 of 12

within six (6) times the tower height, which is 246m, the local community association, staff, and Mayor and Council. A map of the Notification Area (Schedule E: Notification Area) has been attached; the notification area includes eight (8) properties. WIND will be seeking direction from the District of Mission in regards to this and the timeline for the meeting. Notification of the meeting will also be placed in the local newspaper. WIND will pay a $600 fee to the District of Mission in compensation for the public notification costs. WIND is required to advertise the application. Ads will run in the Mission City Record as directed by the District.

Subsequent to the public information meeting, WIND will provide a summary of the meeting to the District. The District of Mission will then provide the telecommunication tower proponent with a letter after the Council Meeting at which Council considers the input provided at the community meeting.

Health and Safety

Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 regulations are applicable to this, and all, telecommunications sites. Safety Code 6 seeks to limit the public’s exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and ensures public safety. Additional information on health and safety may be found on-line at:

Health Canada:

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct-eng.php

Concurrence Requirements

In order to complete the consultation process, WIND will be requesting concurrence from the District of Mission in a form acceptable to both the District and to Industry Canada. We understand that, subsequent to the Council decision, the District of Mission would be providing a letter of resolution.

Conclusion

Please consider this information package as the official commencement of the District of Mission’s telecommunications consultation policy. WIND is committed to working with the District of Mission and the community in an effort to deploy its wireless network in Mission.

We look forward to working together during this process. Please do not hesitate to contact us by phone at 604.620.0877 or by email at [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your assistance and consideration.

Sincerely, CYPRESS LAND SERVICES
