HomeMy WebLinkAboutPD 27-11 caw o~ Report To Planning & Development Committee PI - RING Report Number: PD 27-11 34 Date: September 6, 2011 ; From: Neil Carroll Director, Planning & Development Subject: Proposed Wireless Cell Tower Installation Wind Mobile/Globalive 2465 Brock Road (South Part of Lot 18, Concession 3) City of Pickering Recommendation: 1. That Wind Mobile/Globalive be advised that City Council has no objection to the proposed 40 metre high cell tower installation at 2465 Brock Road based on the design and other details submitted with this request. Executive Summary: In December 2010, Wind Mobile/Globalive submitted a proposal to construct a 40 metre high tri-pole cell tower at 2465 Brock Road. The site currently supports a temporary 15 metre high monopole which did not require prior consultation. The temporary installation currently occupies the same area where the permanent installation is proposed to be placed. Since the submission of the initial proposal, Wind Mobile completed their public consultation process, in accordance with Industry Canada requirements. Wind Mobile 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 in the immediate area. The proposed tower and equipment compound have been sited at the east limit of the property to minimize visual impacts to the existing or future development. 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 regarding cell towers. It is recommended that Wind Mobile be advised that City Council has no objection to the proposed cell tower at 2465 Brock Road, based on the 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. Report PD 27-11 September 6, 2011 Subject: Proposed Wireless Cell Tower Installation Page 2135 1.0 Background: In December 2010, Wind Mobile submitted a letter to the City Clerk outlining its proposal to construct a cell tower on the lands municipally known as 2465 Brock Road in Duffin Heights (see Location Map - Attachment #1). 1.1 The Proposal The proposed installation is a 40 metre high tri-pole communication tower and related ground cabinet. The tower is to be located at the south limit and towards the rear of the subject property. The base of the proposed tower is approximately 2.4 metres wide. The ground cabinet, which houses the radio equipment, occupies an area of 1.0 metres by 1.0 metres and is located at the base of the tower. The tower and ground cabinet will be located in a fenced compound measuring approximately 10.0 metres by 5.0 metres. The compound is proposed to be set back approximately 88 metres from Brock Road. Access is proposed from the existing driveway off Brock Road (see Applicant's Proposal and Submitted Plan - Attachments #2, #3 and #4). Photo simulations of the proposed installation show a white tower with white shroud screening the antenna equipment, that blend in with the sky and adjacent hydro corridor. 1.2 Property Description The lands known as 2465 Brock Road are designated as Mixed Use Area - Mixed Corridor in the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood and zoned W- Rural Agriculture in By-law 3037 as amended by By-laws 2049/85 and 6577/05. The subject property is currently occupied by Pistritto's Farm and Greenhouses. A single detached dwelling and a number of accessory buildings related to the business also occupy the site. The property is anticipated to be redeveloped in the future in accordance with the higher intensity residential and commercial Mixed Corridor uses in the Duffih Heights Plan. Surrounding land uses include the Duffin Meadows Cemetery to the north, a rural property and hydro corridor to the south, a residential use to the west across Brock Road, and agricultural uses to the east. The closest residential property, (the residential use on the west side of Brock Road), is approximately 130 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 requirements as outlined in the Client Procedures Circular (CPC) 2-0-03 Issue 4, entitled "Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems". Report PD 27-11 September 6, 2011 Subject: Proposed Wireless Cell Tower Installation Page 3 136 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 40 metre tower height, the proposed installation required notification to six adjoining property owners within a 120 metre radius of the base of the tower. The applicant has indicated that they have provided written notification to the six adjoining property owners and placed a notice of the proposed installation in the February 4, 2011 edition of the News Advertiser. They have 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 #5). i 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. There are currently three cell towers at the north end of the Duffin Heights neighbourhood and hydro transmissions towers in the immediate area that were examined as potential candidates to co-locate Wind Mobile's equipment. Wind Mobile has advised that the existing cell towers are located outside of their 300 metre search area and that Hydro One is no longer a willing host for cellular equipment on their towers. The applicant has indicated that the proposed installation would be suitable for co-location 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 #6). 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 #6). 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. Report PD 27-11 September 6, 2011 Subject: Proposed Wireless Cell Tower Installation Page 4 X37 f. 2.4 Proposed Tower Location is acceptable Staff support the proposed location of this cell tower facility. The proposed tower and equipment compound are being sited as close to the rear of the property as is technically feasible, given grade changes at the rear of the property. The proposed location will minimize visual impact and not impede the future development of the Duffin Heights community. Staff recommend that City Council approve the recommendation in this report as the proposed installation has minimal visual impacts to the neighbourhood, is set back an appropriate distance from Brock Road, and is not located in proximity to incompatible and\or sensitive land uses.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would kindly ensure that this request is circulated to the appropriate City officials in order that Wind Mobile can receive a formal response from the City. I have also enclosed a copy of our proposed site plan and photo simulations showing the proposed installation. Purpose of Wind Mobile Proposed Telecommunication Installation Wind Mobile is proposing to build and expand the necessary infrastructure to satisfy the enormous and growing demand for high quality reliable wireless service. The vicinity of Brock Road north in Pickering is known to be an area of poor wireless coverage for Wind Mobile' network. In order to improve Wind Mobile's wireless service, to the aforementioned vicinity, a new antenna site is required. Public Mobile's Site Requirements A Mpole structure measuring 40 metres in height is required for Wind Mobile to meet its wireless coverage objectives. Radio equipment is proposed to be housed in an equipment cabinet measuring approximately 1 metres x 1 metres at the base of the Tower. The pole and equipment are located in a fenced compound measuring approximately 10 metres x 10 metres. Site Selection Process The selection of a wireless telecommunications site works similar to fitting a piece into a puzzle. In this case, the puzzle is a complex radio network, situated in a rural setting. Client demand, radio frequency, engineering principles, local topography and land use opportunities work in concert with one another to direct the location of our sites. To achieve a reliable wireless network, Wind Mobile tries to provide a seamless signal to alleviate gaps in coverage and capacity. It is gaps in coverage that are responsible for dropped calls and unavailable service to clients. Once an area is identified as potentially meeting all of the above criteria, the surrounding neighborhood is reviewed for existing structures that Wind Mobile can utilize for the placement ATTACHILPiENT # Z TO REPORT # PD 27-11 141 WMD of its equipment and antennas. Generally, this includes multi-storey buildings and towers owned by other wireless carriers that can support our antennas. Within the search area identified as meeting the criteria for Wind Mobile's network, there are no existing structures which could be utilized. A study was undertaken and photo simulations, were prepared that illustrate the tower, at the above noted location. The Photo Simulation package forms part of this letter. Land Use Consultation Process Wireless facilities are exclusively regulated by the Federal Government and as a result are not required to obtain municipal permits of any kind. It is my understanding that the City of Pickering has developed a process in accordance with Industry Canada's recommendation. In the absence of such policy the Land Use Consultation Process defaults to Industry 'Canada's Spectrum Management and Telecommunications CPC (Client Procedures Circular) 2-0-03 Issue 4, http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt- ast.nsf/ema/sfO8777.html, a copy of which has been provided as part of this proposal letter package. Within this Industry, Canada document, the process for public consultation and notification is outlined. It is noted that proponents must provide a notification package to the local public within a radius of three times the tower height, measured from the tower base or the outside perimeter of the supporting structure. Conclusion Wind Mobile' proposed installation will provide industry leading 3.5G wireless voice and data service to the area in North Pickering at Brock Road. Photo simulations have been prepared that demonstrate the effectiveness of the selected location. Wind Mobile believes that the location will have minimal impact on the neighbourhood while providing improved service to the surrounding area due to the elevation, interactions with the existing wireless network, and line-of- site requirements. Wind Mobile looks forward to receiving the City's comments in the very near future.

Introduction & Jurisdictional Context In recognition of the Federal Government's exclusive jurisdiction and in an attempt to promote balance, Industry Canada requires that proponents of telecommunication facilities consult with land use authorities as part of their licensing process. The requirement to consult can be found in Industry Canada's document, Client Procedure Circular CPC-2-0-03. According to the CPC, the purpose of consultation is to ensure that land use authorities are aware of significant antenna structures and/or installations proposed within their boundaries so antenna systems are deployed in a manner which considers local surroundings. Consultation must respect the Federal Government's exclusive jurisdiction and specifically does not give a municipality the right to veto the proposal. General information relating to antenna systems in available on Industry Canada's Spectrum Management and Telecommunications website htt Wstrategis.ic.gc.ca/antenna As a result of the Federal Government's exclusive jurisdiction, this proposed wireless facility does not require permitting of any kind. Similarly, zoning by-laws and Site Plan approvals do not apply to our facilities. Globalive attests that the radio antenna system described in this Site Selection package is excluded from environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Notwithstanding the Federal Government's exclusive jurisdiction, Globalive is committed to consultation with the Local Land-use Authority. In this case, the City of Pickering does not have an existing Telecommunications Antenna/ Tower and Related Structures procedure. This package is intended to provide the necessary information as required by this policy for the Local Land-use Authority (City of Pickering) to review and provide a Letter of Recommendation. ATTACHMENT #--~--5 TO 1 4 7 2. Site Justification REPORT # PD 2-7- I A radio antenna and a tower are, the two most important parts of a radiocommunication system. The antenna is needed to send and receive signals for the radio station. The tower raises the antenna above obstructions such as trees and buildings so that it can send and receive these signals clearly. Each radio station and its antenna system (including the tower) provide radio coverage to a specific geographic area, often called a cell. The antenna system must be carefully located to ensure that it provides a good signal over the whole cell area, without interfering with other stations and can "carry" a call as the user moves from cell to cell. i i Figure 1 If the station is part of a radio telephone network, the'number of stations needed also depends on how many people are using the network. If the number of stations is too small, or the number of users increases people may not be able to connect to the network, or the quality of service may decrease. L'a'ar-mi Q CAD 1`b EYTn~7 f~? fliZ z Figure 2 1 ATTACHMENT# -5 TO 1 48 REPORT # PDT ~ - As the number of users exceed the capacity of the radio station to receive and send calls the coverage area for the cell shrinks and the shrinkage between cells create coverage holes. As demand increases for mobile phones and new telecommunication services, additional towers are required to maintain or improve the quality of service to the public and restore contiguous wireless service. Q7 (M Mo (MP 4ZIAW du ~ Figure 3 In this case, Globalive's RF Engineering department has determined the need for a Personal Communication Services (PCS) upgrade to adequately provide contiguous cover age and service to our existing and future customer base in the area surrounding the Brock Road and Concession Road 3 intersection in Pickering. Currently, our network is burdened by a combination of poor voice and data quality in this very large area. In some cases, the coverage is so poor that a handset would be unable to place a mobile call at all in the subject location and surrounding area. The result of this situation is on- going customer complaints, high "dropped call" rates, and in extreme circumstances, the potential inability to place a mobile call that may be absolutely critical in an emergency situation. Based on Globalive's RF Engineering team, a location was chosen on the east side of Brock Road between Dersan Street and Concession Road 3. The location is on a commercial property owned by a private business owner. ATTACHMENT #--5-TO REPORT # PD 2-7-0 I 149 3. Collocation on existing tower(s) Globalive strongly supports co-location on existing towers and structures. The use of existing structures minimizes the number of new towers required in a given area and is generally a more cost effective way of doing business. However tower infrastructure is a finite resource and over time most towers reach their engineered maximum. This normally results when more than two carriers occupy the same tower as illustrated below. g Alterations to Further alterations original antennas ° include: direction, o to original antennas azimuth, etc. LL s' Implemented Futures LL Addition of Alterations to original $ 2nd Wireless Carrier v 2nd Wireless Carrier o antennas b O O M LL s' Additional Netwok s Technologies/Equipment LL 2001 2004 2009 Initial Single Carrier' Tower Profile over Tower a period of time. Figure 4 MINIMUM SEPARATION Minimum 1 metre separation between antennas required Towers are limited in terms of both allowable space and engineering capacity. I Each antenna array requires a separation of vertical space so they do not create interference with each other (see figure 5). fill' • Interference with other antennas occur when there is less than 1 Figure 5 I ACC VI i TO 1 5 0 REPORT # PD_ J- Generally a meter separation is standard, however, the closer the carrier frequency's are on the radio spectrum the more vertical separation is required. Because Bell, TELUS and Rogers operate is close proximity in the radio spectrum separation distances between antennas can be as much as 10 meters. Each successive carrier who requests space on a tower receives a lower and lower location. The impact on second and third tower co-locaters because the antennas are line-of-site is that the broadcast radius also shrinks. The location that the carrier achieves on the collocated site results in an uneven distribution of coverage from a site effecting the location of the surrounding sites for each carrier. As you can see in figures 6 and 7 below demonstrate this effect. The 1st carrier is able to locate its next tower further away from the collocated tower that either the 2°d or 3`d carrier. c ±J [.~rrrx~ c~z~~t.~yr_~ '~r~L~%J fb,(U7a - r LLJ Figure 6 • s • o Wl~.GiJ V~1:~% ~~-~~~Y~,~47~i7'1Z~ ~~~~(j~~~7n~~-y]..~i~Yi~i~~ {=.t~r[i~p~~~~~'~~~~(_-'[X~[~~f•C~~~*/~:1~7~n~C~77~Ky~)ri7~!]'47 ~w~ LL.Jr tiLLl.';~V i i • ll.~J.4.•14] [fJ'-L7 ~1P+-'~1~-.~ li] ~1 ~.~=~1~ 4 t. p 1 ~ ~ ~ G 1se~y Tewr Figure 7 ATTACHMENT # 5 70 REPORT # PDT-1 ~ Engineering capacity is a second limiting factor on how much equipment can be placed on a tower. The more equipment on a tower, the more wind and ice loading on the tower causes it to twist and tilt. Tilting has a direct impact on service quality of the tower. Since the signal is broadcast by line of sight the more it tilts the more the signal area changes causes some areas to move in and out of coverage. Dropped calls and unpredictable coverage is the result. TILTING of TOWER Wind loading saeses towers to twist a MM* WIND WIND ~ woo The more equipment on a tower, the more the tower tilts.

The signal quality is further reduced. Towers that are loaded with antennas beyond the tensile strength of the steel both twist and tilt. A tower that is appropriately loaded operated within its specified parameters and twist and tilt is kept within operating norms.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES PUBLIC'S RESPONSE Globalive- strongly supports co-location on existing Co location is the preferred option for towers and structures. The use of existing structures accommodating new telecommunications minimizes the number of new towers required in a facilities as is locating other towers adjacent given area and is generally a more cost effective way of to existing towers or hydro transmission doing business. There are no co-location opportunities towers within the search area of the proposed tower. The Rogers and TELUS towers north of the location are in excess of 1500 metres from the proposed Globalive tower. The coverage objective of the proposed site cannot be accomplished from either of these locations. The existing transmission towers to the south of the proposed location are also not suitable for Globalive's equipment as Hydro One no longer allows telecommunication carriers • to place antenna on their transmission towers. It should be noted that the proposed tower would be suitable for future co-location with third arties. Avoid locations that are sensitive to The tower is not in close proximity to any of these residential areas, historic sites, features. environmentally sensitive areas and hazard lands Avoiding areas_of topographic prominence The proposed site location elevation is approximately 120 metres above sea level which corresponds with the average geographic elevation of the area.

Furthermore the site shelters on or adjacent to existing buildings. and design of the proposed tower are proposed to be as noninvasive as possible. Tower lighting and colour will be dependent on Nav and Transport Canada location and height approval. Maintaining appropriate setbacks from road The proposed tower has been sited on existing allowances. agricultural lands. The location was specifically chosen in order to minimize the visual impact of the tower. There is two existing residential dwellings in proximity to the proposed tower. One is owed by the landlord and the second was notified of the proposed tower through the public circulation process.
