Frazier Attorney at Law Ivester, Skinner & Camp, P.A. 111 Center Street, Suite 1200 Little Rock, AR 72201-4442 RE: 8424 Kanis Road PCD (Z -4776-A) Dear Mr. Frazier: Planning Zoning and Subdivision This morning, in response to your letter and phone call, I visited the site of the proposed Alltel project where I photographed the existing antenna. The photograph you furnished of the proposed antenna appears to portray an antenna which is substantially the same as the existing antenna. This antenna, then, may be placed at the top of the existing tower in lieu of the antenna which in place at this time. This will confirm that based on the site plan submitted by Alltel, dated May 18, 1993, with the job name "Gavin Arkansas", a building permit may be granted for the prefabricated equipment shelter, the 8' wood privacy fence, and the new antenna on the existing tower. An amendment to the PCD to permit a new tower has been placed on the Planning Commission agenda of July 27, 1993. If approved, the item will be placed on the Board of Directors agenda of August 3, 1993. If the amended PCD is approved by the Board of Directors, a permit may be granted for the new tower/antenna base. Fifteen days prior to the Planning Commission meeting, notification of property owners within 200 feet must have been made, and a notice must have been placed on the property. The posted notice may be picked up in my office. If there is additional information you need, please feel free to call me at 371-6814.

Sherwood Attorney at Law 300 Spring Building, Suite 500 Little Rock, AR 72201-0320 RE: 8424 Kanis Road PCD (Z -4776-A) Dear Mr. Sherwood: Planning Zoning and Subdivision By letter dated June 16, 1993, you forwarded to me a representation of a proposed antenna for the referenced PCD location. You indicated that in lieu of the nominal seven (7) foot antenna base, as approved on the PCD Site Plan, Alltel was now requesting a twelve (12) foot antenna base. I have consulted with Mr. Richard Wood, Manager of the Zoning and Subdivision Division, and have confirmed that the installation of the antenna as presented will entail amending the PCD. The difference in antenna base size is beyond what can be approved at the staff level. The next Planning Commission agenda at which this amendment can be heard is the August 24, 1993 agenda. The cut-off date for filing of an application for this agenda is July 19, 1993. Filing of this application would not delay Alltel in making application for a building permit to construct the building and fence based on the existing approved PCD site plan. If you have any questions on the determination or wish to pursue this matter in filing an application to the Planning Commission, please contact me at 371-6814. Sincerely, Bobby .

It differs from the previous tower base in that instead of being a solid concrete structure, it has concrete piers for each tower leg and has a larger footprint. The replacement tower will not be higher, neither will it be different at the top than the existing tower, but the base dimension is required to make the tower "tornado proof". The addition of the decorative fencing at the site should block the view of the lower portion of the tower from Kanis road and the positioning of the adjoining house should largely block the view of the tower from Michael Drive. These improvement's should preclude any complaints from the neighbors regarding the tower. Please send me a written confirmation once approval is obtained or call me at 374-4477 if you have any questions. Best Wishes, Michael T.

Sherwood Attorney at Law 300 Spring Building, Suite 500 Little Rock, AR 72201-0320 RE: Z -4776-A, 8424 Kanis Rosd PCD Dear Mr. Sherwood: Ordinance 15,819, passed February 20, 1990 established the referenced PCD. The approved site plan shows at 20 foot by 45 foot proposed building to the west of the existing building and parallel to the west property line. It also shows the radio tower at the north-west corner of the existing building. The site plan submitted by you and prepared by Alltel Mobile dated May 18, 1993 with a job name of "Gavin Arkansas" has been reviewed. The 12.foot by 28 foot building, as located on the site plan, falls within the building area provided in the PCD site plan. The building may be placed as shown on the Alltel site plan. Since the approved site plan shows a radio tower in substantially the same location as the proposed tower, and since the existing tower is to be removed when the new tower is installed, replacing the existing tower is approved. The proposed tower may not be higher, be larger at the base, or be substantially different at the top than the existing tower. The fence, as shown, is not an issue, and may be installed. Any further modifications to the approved PCD site plan must be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Board of Directors. Adequate time must be allowed for this approval process. If you have questions or need additional clarification, please feel free to call me at 371-6814.

Please find enclosed a copy of a site plan for the proposed placement of the tower and equipment building for the above referenced file. According to the approvals already given under the above referenced file numbers, our plan of locating a 12' x 28' equipment shelter and re -locating a 120' tower on this site should be within the approvals already granted by the planning commission. For a short period of time, not expected to exceed three weeks, two towers will exist on the site while one of the two is under construction. The "old" tower will be dismantled as soon as the "new" tower is in place.

Sims Subdivision Administrator City of Little Rock Department of Neighborhoods and Planning 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201-1334 RE: 8424 Kanis Road PCD (Z -4776-A) Dear Bob: It has been decided by my client, ALLTEL Cellular Associates of Arkansas Limited Partnership ("ALLTEL"), that a monopole structure will be used at the above -captioned property location rather than an open -lattice, self-supporting tower. This decision was based upon the limited areas available at the present site for the wider tower base which ALLTEL would need for a self-supporting tower. The monopole will be 100 feet in height. As is typical with all monopoles, it will have one platform at the top which will support antennae for cellular telephone use. It will most likely have a second platform near the top with small antennae for uses consistent with the current use of the existing tower. Due to the fact that a monopole structure is a less intrusive structure than the existing tower, I am writing this letter to request that this matter be approved at the staff level of the City of Little Rock Department of Neighborhoods and Planning. It is my belief that this matter can be approved by staff as an improvement to the current PCD and does not necessitate Planning Commission or City Board approval. Mr. Bobby E. Sims July 9, 1993 Page 2 Please contact me regarding your position on this matter at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, _ Ran 1 B.

I am in receipt of your letter to Mr. Michael Sherwood dated June 8, 1993. Your letter gave staff approval to the site plan submitted by ALLTEL Mobile dated May 18, 1993. As you are aware, ALLTEL Mobile has determined that the new tower to be constructed on the property must have a triangular base with three equal sides measuring 11'6" each. It is my understanding that the planning staff has determined this matter must be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval as a short -form PCD. I would like to request that you place this matter on the first available Planning Commission Agenda as you discussed with Cathy Kurfess of ALLTEL and me last week by telephone. Please let me know of any additional requirements which ALLTEL Mobile or I need to do to facilitate the application and approval of this matter. During the interim, ALLTEL Mobile would like to construct the 12' x 28' building as previously approved by staff and as referenced in your June 8, 1993 letter. Additionally, ALLTEL Mobile will temporarily use the tower presently located on the property. It will be necessary to place antennae at the top of the tower which will resemble the antennae pictured in the enclosed photograph. Mr. Bobby Sims June 29, 1993 Page 2 I would appreciate your response to this request with staff approval of the plans in writing as soon as possible.

If the antenna tower is, as is proposed, a monopole structure rather than an open -lattice tower; and, the tower is not taller than the 120 foot height approved for the site, then Alltel may proceed with an application for the building pernut for each of the items presented to date: the 12 foot by 28 foot prefabricated equipment shelter, the 8 foot wood privacy fence, and the monopole antenna structure with antenna as presented in your correspondence of June 29, 1993, including the two antenna support platforms. Proceeding with the course of action identified, the City staff's position is that the item can be,' and is, approved at the staff level and does not need to be heard by the Planning Commission or Board of Directors.
