ASG No. 32 -Cell tower Applications
Thank you for reaching out to me on Tuesday and following up with this email.
As I mentioned to you on Tuesday, there is a site (I believe its T-mobile or Verizon) with underground
equipment that you can visit to hear a realistic example of the fan noise.
It is at the intersection of Ridgegate and Highridge ... check it out.
Additionally, Condition No. 17 includes the following:
o Noise:
• Backup generators shall only be operated during periods of power outages, and shall not
be tested on weekends or holidays, or between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
• At no time shall equipment noise from any facility exceed an exterior noise level of 55
dBA three feet from the source of the noise if the facility is located in the public right-of-
way adjacent to a business, commercial, manufacturing, utility or school zone; provided,
however, that for any such facility located within 500 feet of any property zoned residential
or improved with a residential use, such equipment noise shall not exceed 45 dBA three
feet from the sources of the noise. The foregoing noise level limitations shall govern
facilities subject to RPVMC Chapter 12.18.080(A)(16) until such time that a specific noise
regulation ordinance is adopted and effective in this code, at which time such noise
ordinance shall govern.
The City Council agenda on the Item (ASG No. 32) is available on the City's website at the following
link. You can review the draft conditions of approval.

Subject: Cell tower Applications
HI Ara,
Good to see you again on Tuesday at the recent CC meeting.
I am concerned about the Cell Tower #32, the one planned for the Intersection of Whitley Collins Drive and Crest Road in RPV ...
have NO issue with the Aesthetics; but, I am
very concerned about (potential) noise that might emanate from such an installation.
I find the noise test done (relative to a Torrance, CA street corner) to be TOTALLY irrelevant
for use with ANY RPV application. I would strongly suggest that a noise test be done AT the very site referenced and sometime
between the hours of9PM and SAM to have any degree ofrelevance.. The proposed site is currently VERY, VERY QUIET-except
for the occasional traffic on Crest Road between those hours .. I am VERY VERY concerned about ANY cooling (fans) or other noise
that might be generated from such an installation. I understand Antennas and Electronics (related experience over 60 YEARS) and
for them to be in CONTINUOUS use, would naturally require some degree of cooling; potentially from cooling FANS... I also am
lead to believe that there will be an UNDERGROUND compartment associated with this Cell Antenna installation. I assure you that
just going UNDERGROUND does NOT necessarily calm MY (NOISE) concerns. I often hear an occasional OWL hooting in my
neighborhood.. I would be grossly upset if that noise FLOOR were raised by this installation .... I am also concerned about HOW the
installation will be powered ..... I would HOPE from NOISE-LESS commercial power -NO power generator(s) involved either ....
I need to go now; so, I will curtail further comment(s) ..
This email is a good way to reach me about this and/or other potential issues.
My Phone Number is 310 541-5495 ..
Sincerely
Joe Locascio
