The"CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL"listed in this report are accepted in total without exception by the
entity requesting approval of this conditional use.
Name: Date:
BACKGROUND:
This is the first application for a new wireless communications tower since the revision of the
City's cell tower ordinance in August 1999. The applicant is proposing to erect a 150'tall
monopole with an area at the base for an equipment building.
The proposed lease site is located on property at the northeast comer of Huntsville Rd. and
Stonebridge Road. The exact location of the tower is called out to be north and west of the
westernmost existing commercial building on the property. This building currently houses
Diamond's Gentleman's Club. Access to the tower site is from the existing curb cut for the
building and through the gravel parking area which is located west of the building.
Following the revised ordinance requirements, notification (certified mail)was provided to all

523 Stonebridge Drive—Monopole
A. A map identifying the search ring and the propagation projections for coverage is
attached.
B. A map identifying all proposed facilities planned for the CricKet Communications
operations in Fayetteville is attached.
C. The map described in item B. above also includes identification of other stand
alone locations that have been explored.
D. A scaled site plan is attached.
E. Visual Aspects, Setbacks &Proximity to Single Family Residences - The
proposed monopole will be located at the rear of a commercial facility on the
north side of Huntsville Road. The profile of the structure looking north from
Huntsville is minimized by the rising terrain further north. The setback from the
road is over 300 ft, allowing ample room for future road widenings without
encroachments. The site was selected in part because it does not directly adjoin
any existing homes. A subdivision northwest of the site is heavily screened by
dense vegetation. The height of the facility is below the required elevation for
mandatory lighting. From a community perspective,the selected site offers the
public with broad coverage for telecommunications services, is partially screened
from the highway by an existing commercial building, and does not directly abut
residential development.
F. Efforts to collocate—The subject site lies on the eastern fringe of Fayetteville in
an area previously underserved by competitors in the cellular industry. The
CricKet target market requires coverage not only of major transportation
corridors, but also of the places people live, work and play. The subject site
provides coverage to industrial and recreational facilities in south Fayetteville as
well as a large concentration of residential population in the southeast section of
town that is a central component of the CricKet market. Mount Sequoyah sites are
too far west. Cell sites further east do allow for adequate coverage of the targeted
population, workplaces and recreational facilities. No other cellular carriers have
towers in or near the search ring.
G. Accommodation of Other Antenna Arrays on this Tower—The 150' monopole is
designed for up to three carriers. The foundation design and monopole ports for
cable runs are pre-engineered in anticipation of other PCS &cellular
communications carriers. Callahan Tower Joint Venture is a locally owned tower
aggregator in the business of leasing space to wireless customers. The CricKet
lease is structured to assure that there are no prohibitions regarding competing
carriers on the subject structure.

Dear Mr. Conklin:
Lucent Technologies is currently in the process of designing the Fayetteville RF network
for Cricket Communications. The Cricket Communications RF design plan calls for a site
to provide coverage to Route 265, Route 16 east towards Lake Sequoyah, and the
surrounding areas as well as to provide seamless coverage to the RF network.
At this time there are no viable colocation opportunities in this area. All the existing
towers are over 2-3 miles away from the desired coverage area, which would not satisfy
our client's coverage objectives.
Sincerely,

The applicant is requesting a temporary construction trailer to serve as an office for 12-18
months in order to oversee the design and installation of new equipment which will expand the
capacity of the current manufacturing facility. Recently, this property was rezoned from I-1,
Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial to I-2, General Industrial in order to match the use with the
zoning and to allow expansion of the facility.

This site on South School Ave. contains three entities of Tyson, Inc., the Entree Plant, the
Fayetteville Freezer Operation and one of the Tyson Mexican Original Plants. Uncle Ben's, Inc.
has developed product lines which occupy approximately 80% of the Entree Plant portion of this
Tyson facility. Last year, the Entree Plant built an expansion to install new equipment and to
begin to convert manufacturing lines from manual to automated processes.
At this time, an automated packaging component as well as at least two new product lines are
proposed to come on line for production in 2002. These new functions will require that
modifications are made to the existing plant operations. The equipment expansion and capital
projects to effect the desired capacity expansion within the plant will maximize the available
room within the structure. Engineers and designers from Uncle Ben's will be on site on a regular
basis to automate the plant. Since the need for these individuals is only during design and set up
and there is not available office space within the plant, this temporary facility has been proposed.
The proposed structure is a standard 12'x 60'mobile home. Skirting will be placed around the
base of the trailer which will be located on a level gravel pad just north of the Entree Plant
building. Electricity will be provided to the trailer, but no other utilities will be extended. The
employees using the trailer have been granted permission from Tyson to use existing parking and
restroom facilities.
r.
Surrounding properties include residential, commercial and industrial uses. The location
designated for the temporary facility is far removed from the public right-of-way along S. School

Dear Planning Commissioners,
Subject: Conditional use permit
The purpose of this request for a conditional use permit is to allow for a 12' x 60' trailer to be
installed at 2615 S. School Ave in Fayetteville. This is a property that is owned and operated
by Tyson as a multi-purpose manufacturing facility. This temporary project trailer will be
used as space for 1 to 5 Uncle Ben's, Inc. engineers to design and plan for manufacturing
improvements to our current process operating at this address. Typically 1-2 engineers will
be occupying the trailer through the workday. Most likely once a month the full team will
meet to review progress. Visitors are likely to include equipment vendor and engineering
firm representatives on a frequency of once to twice a week.
Off street parking will be provided in Tyson's employee parking lot. The typical hours for
use for the project trailer will be 8am to 6pm. Since the site operates 24 hours a day for
production and sanitation, there may be times outside of the above stated hours that some
work may need to be done in the project trailer. We do not intend to install toilets in the
trailer. The trailer will be placed about 300 feet from Tyson's lobby and necessary facilities
will be available inside the factory.
Exterior lighting will include a porch light and maybe some landscaping lights. We intend to
skirt the bottom of the trailer and do necessary landscaping to level and secure the trailer
along with making it fit into the Tyson site.
If you have any inquiries or would like additional information as to the intended use,please
contact me via the below listed phone numbers.
Sincerely,
Jerry Lindley
Engineering Manager
