From: Neil Carroll
Director, Planning & Development
Subject: Proposed Wireless Cell Tower Installation
Summit Telecom Services on behalf of 'Rogers Communications Inc.
882 Kingston Road
City of Pickering
Recommendation:
1. That Summit Telecom Services be advised that City Council has no objection to
the proposed 30 metre high cell tower installation at 882 Kingston Road for
Rogers Communications Inc., based on the stealth design and other details
submitted with the request.
Executive Summary: Summit Telecom Services, on behalf of Rogers
Communications Inc., submitted a proposal to construct a 30 metre high "stealth" type
cell tower at 882 Kingston Road, which is the St. Paul's on the Hill church property.
Since the submission of the initial proposal, Rogers Wireless has completed its public
consultation process in accordance with Industry Canada requirements. The applicant
has advised that no public comments were received and are requesting that City
Council provide a statement of concurrence in support of the installation.
City staff are supportive of the proposed installation. There do not appear to be
acceptable opportunities to co-locate this installation with an existing cell tower in the
immediate area. The proposed tower and equipment compound have been sited at the
southeast corner of the upper parking lot where visual impacts are minimized. In view
of the public consultation and Council engagement associated with this proposal, the
processing of this application through this report is not considered contrary to Council's
recent resolutions respecting cell towers. It is recommended that the applicant be
advised that City Council has no objection to the proposed cell tower at 882 Kingston
Road, based on the stealth design and other details submitted with the request.
Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the
proposed development.
Sustainability Implications: Enhancement to the wireless coverage at this location
will improve business and community communication capability.

1.0 Background:
Rogers Wireless is proposing to install a 30 metre high cell tower on the St.
Paul's on the Hill church property at 882 Kingston Road (see Location Map -
Attachment #1).
1.1 The Proposal
The proposed installation is a 30 metre high "stealth" type tri-pole communication
tower and related ground cabinet. A current example of a "stealth" design tri-pole
cell tower exists at the Durham Regional Police station located at Brock Road
and Finch Avenue (although that installation is 40 metres in height).
The tower is proposed to be located in the southeast corner of the upper parking
lot of the church property, adjacent to Kingston Road. The base of the proposed
tower is approximately 2.4 metres wide. The ground cabinet, which houses the
radio equipment, occupies an area of 1.6 metres by 2.4 metres and is located at
the base of the tower. The tower and ground cabinets will be located in a fenced
compound measuring approximately 4.6 metres by 6.1 metres. The compound
and tower are proposed to be set back approximately 26 metres from Sheppard
Avenue and 27 metres from Kingston Road. The antenna equipment at the top
of the tower will be hidden by a shroud bearing a cross insignia to reflect the
adjacent church land use. Access to the tower and compound for maintenance
will be from Sheppard Avenue, through the upper parking lot (see Applicant's
Submitted Plan - Attachments #2 & #3).
Photo simulations of the proposed installation have been provided to illustrate the
design of the tower and its visual impact on the area (see Applicant's Site
Selection and Public Consultation Report - Attachment #4).
1.2 Property Description
The lands known as 882 Kingston Road are designated Urban Residential Area -
Low Density Area in the Official Plan and zoned `R4(DN)' - Detached
Dwelling\Day Nursery Zone in By-law 3036 as amended by By-law 1398/81.
Surrounding land use include residential uses to the north and west, an
automobile service station to the east and Kingston Road to the south. The
closest residential property, located on the north side of Sheppard Avenue, is
approximately 50 metres from the proposed tower.
2.0 Discussion:
2.1 Required Public Notification has been completed
Planning & Development staff are currently in the process of developing a
protocol respecting the installation of cell towers for City Council's consideration.
In the absence of a City protocol, applicants must follow Industry Canada's
requirements as outlined in the Client Procedures Circular (CPC) 2-0-03 Issue 4,
entitled "Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems".
Report PD 25-11 September 6, 2011
Subject: Proposed Wireless Cell Tower Installation Page 3
68
The Industry Canada requirements for public consultation require the proponent
to consult with the land use authority, and the public within a radius of three times
the tower height, measured from the tower base or the outside perimeter of the
supporting structure. For structures 30 metres or more in height, proponents are
required to place a notice in a local community newspaper circulating in the area.
Based on the proposed 30 metre tower height, the proposed installation required
notification to eight property owners within a 90 metre radius of the base of the
tower. The applicant has indicated that they have provided written notification to
the eight adjoining property owners and placed a notice of the proposed
installation in the April 2011 edition of SNAP Pickering. The applicant has also
confirmed that no public comments were received as a result of the public
notification process (see Applicant's Site Selection and Public Consultation
Report - Attachment #4).
2.2 Co-location opportunities have been examined
The installation and creation of separate, stand alone, radio communication
towers and broadcasting facilities is discouraged unless all other co-location
options have been explored and are considered unfeasible. The applicant has
advised that the closest existing cell tower, located at the base of Dixie Road
adjacent to Highway 401, is outside of their search area and does not provide
available space to properly serve their coverage objectives. The applicant has
indicated that the proposed tower will have space reserved for future antennas,
and that all Rogers telecommunications structures are considered for sharing
with other carriers.
2.3 Council Resolutions
In May 2011, City Council passed resolution 102/11 requesting Industry Canada
to cease consideration of communication towers in any residential area of
Pickering in order to establish criteria for all matters pertaining to land use for the
installation of these towers (see Council Resolutions - Attachment #5). This
resolution was a response to a number of cell tower installations that were
erected without municipal and\or public consultation, specifically a proposed
tower installation under 15 metres at 1820 Whites Road. The Whites Road
proposal precipitated an earlier Council resolution in April 2011 requesting that
Industry Canada reverse approval of the tower and amend its policies to require
municipal consultation on all installations, regardless of height (see Resolution
87/11 in Attachment #5). Currently, municipal and public notification of towers
under 15 metres is not required.
The applicant has provided confirmation that this proposed installation has been
publicly circulated in accordance with Industry Canada requirements and the
proposal is now before Committee and Council for consideration. In view of the
public consultation and Council engagement associated with this proposal, the
processing of this application through this report is not considered contrary to
Council's Resolutions.

2.4 Proposed Tower Location is acceptable
Staff support the proposed location of this cell tower facility. The proposed tower
and equipment compound are to be located at the southeast corner of the upper
parking lot, maximizing the distance from the low density residential
neighbourhood north of Sheppard Avenue. The equipment compound will be
screened with wood privacy fencing and the applicant has agreed to augment the
existing landscaping by introducing additional shrub plantings on the south side.
The shroud design will minimize the visual impact of the tower equipment.
Staff recommend that City Council approve the recommendation in this report as
the proposed installation has minimal visual impact on the neighbourhood,
provides appropriate setbacks from Sheppard Avenue and Kingston Road, and
will be appropriately screened at ground level from Kingston Road.

Introduction:
This proposal is being submitted on behalf of Rogers Communications Inc., ("Rogers") in
an effort to facilitate improved wireless services within the City of Pickering in an area
where coverage has been calculated to be inadequate by Rogers radio frequency
engineers and network planners.
Telecommunication companies such as Rogers make large investments every year on
improving wireless networks both in the "reach" of these networks and their capabilities
to handle increased traffic. The need to improve these networks arises from the
increases in demand for wireless services such as voice and data, with advancements in
technology and an increasing number of wireless technology users.
Coverage deficiencies such as this area in Pickering can result in a lack of service or
dropped and interrupted calls. Wireless. services may not be top priority for every
Canadian however; many rely on wireless networks for emergency services such as
police, firefighters and other first responders.
For this specific site in Pickering, Ontario located at 882 Kingston Road, a new
telecommunications structure or "tower" was determined necessary as there was a lack
of other options including sharing opportunities or locating on top of an existing tall
structure. Many people do not realize the limitations in the reach of radio waves while
still remaining reliable inside and out of buildings; as such the location for a new site is
very specific. Please keep in mind that a new structure or tower is not built out of
convenience for a communications company. A new structure is built at a very large cost
and is only considered necessary after an extensive search for alternate options.
The purpose of the following document is to provide information about the procedure,
selection and proposed structure in order to facilitate the federally regulated Industry
Canada process..
Procedure:
In lieu of a municipal protocol governing radio communications and broadcasting
antennas, Summit Telecom Services will be following Industry Canada's default process
as set out in their Spectrum Management and Telecommunications document CPC-2-0-
03 (Issue 4).
As these installations are regulated under federal policy, provincial legislation, municipal
by-laws and site plan control do not apply to these facilities. The Industry Canada
procedure provides the requirements outlining land use and public consultation and the

general requirements to be satisfied, including but not limited to the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Act, Health Canada's Safety Code 6 and Transport and NAV
Canada regulations.
While final approval of these proposals falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Government of Canada through Industry Canada, local concerns related to land-use are
important elements to consider in the siting of these facilities. We will work together
with the land-use authority and accommodate all reasonable concerns as best possible
where they do not unduly impede the process of siting new facilities.
Proposed Location:
In the initial stages of Rogers network development, an area centering roughly on the
intersection of Kingston Road and Fairport Road calculated as the best possible location
to address any coverage deficiencies. A new telecommunications facility in this area will
decrease deficiency while extending the reach and capacity of the existing network.
Site acquisition and network implementation specialists investigated this search area for
any infrastructure that would allow for the deployment of a new telecommunications
facility without the construction of a new tower. Our search in this area revealed that
the closest existing telecommunications tower is approximately 900m east along
Highway 401. This existing site is outside the required search area and further, at only
30m in height with multiple levels of antennae already in operation on this tower, we
would not be able to efficiently service this market. The surrounding search area does
not feature any other existing structures with the appropriate height to achieve the
necessary coverage objectives. With alternate options exhausted it was determined that
a new structure was necessary to efficiently reach and maintain the coverage objectives.

The new telecommunication structure will be located in the southeast corner of the
upper parking lot of St. Pauls on-the-Hill Anglican Church. Some telecommunications
towers are considered unsightly to the public, for this installation due to its proximity to
some residential dwellings Rogers has opted for a "stealth" installation in order to
better satisfy the siting conditions of the church and the surrounding area. This tower
will be a shrouded tripole (further described in the Tower section)

The demand for wireless services and the lack of existing infrastructure in the area make
a site of this type at 882 Kingston Road an ideal candidate to house a new Rogers
Communications Inc., telecommunications structure complying with all federal rules and
regulations.
The Tower:
At the above noted location Rogers proposes a 30m "stealth" type tripole tower and
related radio equipment cabinet. The tower and cabinet will be located inside a fenced
perimeter and the compound will occupy 28sq.m. The fence with locked gate is for
safety and to limit access to authorized personnel only.
The 30m high stealth tower will be constructed from three steel poles and shrouded at
the top with an image of the cross for the church. The antennas will be concealed inside
the structure. The tower fence will be constructed of cedar as opposed to chain link and
appropriate landscaping will be added along the south side for additional screening per
the City's request. (see attached photo simulations)
This tower type complies with all rules and regulations set forth by Industry Canada
including Transport and NAV Canada and health and safety. This tower was selected as
opposed to typical tower installations (monopole and self-support) in an effort to better
blend in with the surrounding area.
The proposed tower will feature initial services with space reserved for future antennas.
All Rogers telecommunications structures are considered for sharing with future
applicants.
