Date: September 3, 2013
From: Thomas Melymuk
Director, City Development
Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Tower Installation
Wind Mobile
270 Highway 7
Installation #56
Recommendation:
That Wind Mobile be advised that City Council does not object to the proposed
60.0 metre high telecommunication tower installation located at 270 Highway 7, based
on the design and other details submitted with this request
Executive Summary: In February 2013, Wind Mobile submitted a proposal to the
City Development Department to construct a 60.0 metre high lattice style
telecommunication tower at 270 Highway 7.
Since the submission of the initial proposal, Wind Mobile has 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 does not appear to be
acceptable opportunities to co-locate this installation with an existing tower in the
immediate area. In view of the public consultation conducted by the applicant 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 Wind Mobile be advised that City Council does not object to the
proposed cell tower at 270 Highway 7, based on the design and other details submitted
with this request.
Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the
proposed development.

1. Background
1.1 Applicant's Proposal
In February 2013, Wind Mobile submitted a letter to the City Development
Department requesting comments on their proposal to construct a 60.0 metre
high lattice style telecommunication tower at 270 Highway 7 (see Location Map,
Attachment#1).
The tower is proposed to be located at the north-west corner of the subject
property. The base of the tower is approximately 2.9 metres wide. The ground
cabinet, which houses the radio equipment, occupies an area of 100 square
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
10.0 metres. Access is proposed from the existing driveway off Highway 7 (see
Applicant's Submitted Site Plan and Tower Elevation Plan, Attachments #2 and
#3).
1.2 Property Location and Description
The subject property is located on the north side of Highway 7, west of
Sideline 32, at the eastern limit of the Hamlet of Green River. The subject
property is privately owned and currently supports a residential building.
The surrounding land uses include agricultural/residential uses to the north, east,
south and west. The closest residential property (265 Highway 7) is approximately
100 metres south of the proposed tower.
The subject property is designated as Rural Settlement - Rural Hamlet Area in
the Pickering Official Plan and is zoned `HMR1/HMC6' — Hamlet Residential
Detached Dwelling/Hamlet Commercial Zone in By-law 3037, as amended by
By-law 2676/88. The Hamlet Commercial Zone permits the establishment of a
general contractors yard and outdoor storage.
2. Comments Received
2.1 Required Public Notification has been completed
City Development staff are in the process of developing a protocol respecting the
installation of telecommunication towers for City Council's consideration. It is
anticipated that this protocol will be forwarded to City Council for its consideration
in the fall of 2013. 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 -
System s".
Report PLN 19-13 September 3, 2013
Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Tower Installation Page 3
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.
Based on the proposed 60 metre tower height, the proposed installation required
notification to the 6 adjoining property owners within a 180 metre radius. The
Province of Ontario is the owner of five of the neighboring properties and the
notification was extended to two additional private property owners located
outside of the required circulation radius. The local ratepayers association was
also sent a copy of the public consultation package for comment. Wind Mobile
has indicated that they have delivered written notification to the adjoining
property owners, ratepayers association and placed a notice of the proposed
installation in the April 24, 2013 edition of the Pickering News Advertiser. They
also confirmed that no public comments were received as a result of the public
notification process (see Applicant's Public Consultation Report, Attachment#4).
2.2 Agency Comments
Toronto and Region • TRCA has advised that the property is partially
Conservation Authority located in a regulated area of the Duffins Creek
(TRCA ) Watershed; however the proposed location of
the telecommunication tower is outside of their
regulated area and therefore have no objection
to the works and confirmed no permit is required
from the TRCA
2.3 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 two telecommunication
towers in the area. The first tower is located on an unopened road allowance
(Sideline 34) between Whitevale Road and Highway 407 and the other tower is
located on 16th Avenue in the City of Markham. These towers were examined for
co-location and the proponent has advised that they are not suitable candidates for
co-location as they are located outside their search area. The applicant indicated
that the proposed tower will accommodate future co-location opportunities.
2.4 Council Resolutions
In May 2011, City Council passed a resolution 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 Resolution 102/11 —Attachment#5).
Report PLN 19-13 September 3, 2013
Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Tower Installation Page 4
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 15.0 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 Council
Resolution 87/11, Attachment#6).
The proponent has provided confirmation that this proposed installation has been
publicly circulated in accordance with Industry Canada requirements and the
proposals are 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.
3. Planning Analysis
3.1 Proposed Tower Location is Acceptable
Staff support the proposed location of this telecommunication tower. The
proposed tower and equipment compound are located in the rural area away
from residential areas. The tower is to be set back approximately 60 metres from
Highway 7. The location of the tower also avoids adverse impacts on natural
features along the western portion of the property.
Staff recommend that City Council approve the recommendation in this report as
the proposed installation has minimal impacts to the area, is not sited in proximity
to incompatible or sensitive land uses, and is located with appropriate setbacks
from Highway 7.

Background Information
Globalive Wireless
The use of wireless services in Canada continues to grow. Long gone are the days of
the comparatively simple analog cell phone which has been replaced at an
increasingly growing rate with advanced digital smart phones such as the Blackberry
and iPhone.
Meeting the coverage and capacity demands of consumers is a continual challenge
faced by the service providers. To provide effective service, the carriers develop
extensive networks comprised of antenna sites located on rooftops, other existing
structures, and, as a last resort, towers.
In 2008, Industry Canada awarded licenses to three new carriers to address the lack
of wireless competition in Canada. As a result of lagging competition, Canada ranks
last in wireless penetration amongst 22 developed countries. Canada's penetration
rate sits at 65 per cent, well below the United States at 90 per cent and many
European and Asian countries at well over 100 per cent. The lack of competition has
also resulted in Canadians paying double what Americans pay per minute and using
half as many minutes per month (Merrill Lynch).
Globalive received one of the new licenses in 2008 and the company is providing
voice, text and data services to Canadians under the brand WIND ("Wind") Mobile on
a next-generation wireless network. WIND is committed to offering a level of wireless
service presently not available in Canada. This location is part of the second phase of
its deployment of the state-of-the-art GSM network in southern Ontario.
The operation and development of telecommunication services and antenna sites in
Canada are regulated by the federal government through Industry Canada, which
encourages site sharing and the construction of multi-tenant facilities.
Turns Sites Inc. is an independent manufacturer and developer of
telecommunications infrastructure specifically designed to house several
radiocommunications providers at each facility. The facility at 270 Highway 7,
Pickering will initially service WIND but has also been specially designed with
additional capacity to support multiple tenants and will be actively marketed to other

wireless carriers. These carriers Include the incumbents: Bell, TELUS and Rogers;
and the new entrants: WIND Mobile, Public Mobile and Mobilicity. Turris'
accommodation of all telecommunication carriers in Canada will ultimately reduce the
number of towers required. Turris attests that the radio tower described in this
notification package will be constructed in compliance with the National Building
Code of Canada and comply with good engineering practices including structural
adequacy.
Turris is lead by two key individuals:
John Wahba, Ph.D., P. Eng., P. E. is Turris principal engineer and is recognized
internationally for his tower engineering - a reputation earned through 16 years of
experience in structural engineering at the design and research level. Dr. Wahba has
designed some the world's most complex towers — the most recent being the •
"hybrid" in Jakarta, Indonesia. Dr. Wahba has co-authored several publications in the
field of dynamic and static analyses of guyed towers. Dr. Wahba holds engineering
licenses in over forty jurisdictions across North America and is/has been active on
many technical committees (CSA, TIA, ASCE dynamics of latticed structures), and
the CSA Technical committee on Communication Towers and Wind Energy.
Richard Sullivan, P. Eng., is an expert in telecom and broadcast project
management, operations and the development and implementation of structures and
ancillary facilities. Mr. Sullivan's career spans 25 years in the supply, installation, and
commissioning of communications infrastructure in both the Wireless and Broadcast
industries. Mr. Sullivan's experience includes all facets culminating in senior
management positions heading Manufacturing, Engineering, Field Services and
Broadcast Services both domestically and internationally. Mr. Sullivan has extensive
knowledge of Tall Tower and Broadcast Facility implementation and the associated
construction and rigging techniques and practices required in this challenging field.
He is constantly sought out for his experience and advice in resolving challenging
conditions and situations.

• Site Justification -
A. Coverage Requirement
WIND is currently in the second stage of the development of their network. WIND
presently offers coverage in the greater Toronto area through a combination of their
own network (Home Zone) as well as roaming on one of the incumbent networks
(Away Zone). It is WIND's intention, as well as a requirement of their operating
license, that Pickering be covered by WIND's own network - of which this location is
' a key component.
The prime requirement is to provide coverage along Highway 7 and the surrounding
areas, as shown in Figure 1.0.

Existing WIND sites are marked with green circles, and sites in development are
marked with black circles. The proposed location, marked in Yellow with a 60m _
tower, fulfills engineering requirements and will enable contiguous coverage with
existing and future adjacent sites in the area. It also maintains a significant buffer to
major residential areas. The absence of the proposed site would result in a severe
coverage gap in the area.

B. Interest from Other Carriers
111
WIND is committed to collocating on any appropriate existing infrastructure and also
makes any of their proposed sites available to the other carriers. The sharing of this
site is integral to Turris' business model and as such, the incumbent carriers (Bell,
TELUS and Rogers) will be notified of WIND's intentions to develop this tower.
Mobilicity, one of the new entrants, has expressed interest in locating on this site and
formal agreements are being discussed.
C. Existing Wireless Telecommunication Infrastructure in the Area
It is always preferable to locate on an existing structure. In this particular case,
there are currently two wireless telecom facilities in the area around the proposed
tower. Figure 2.0 shows the relationship between the proposed site and area sites
utilized by Rogers and Bell.

WIND has considered these facilities and discounted their viability for the following:
1. The tower is N1.6km outside of WIND'S 1. The tower is —2.0km outside of WIN D's
search parameters required"to create search parameters required to create
homogenous coverage. homogeneous coverage.
2. The antenna height requirements for
interested carriers are beyond the height of
this tower.
• Given the lack of existing infrastructure and suitable rooftops in the immediate •
vicinity of this proposed site is the reason WIND and Turris are proposing the
construction of a tripole at this location capable of supporting multiple carriers. •

Appendix A - Existing Facilities
The following table contains the results of a search of the Industry Canada database.
Due to the complexity of the networks and the associated sitting requirements (i.e.
very small search areas), sites more than two kilometers away are not viable
alternatives. It is also important to note that each carrier may operate more than
one set of services from the same site which increases the number of results but not
necessarily the number of sites. For your convenience, we have grouped the various
services by site.
