TOWN OF NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 37 WASHINGTON STREET NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554 Assessor's Map 40 14 Eel Point Road Parcel 64 Plan Book 16, Page 46 LUG-2 Deed Ref. 127/157 DECISION: 1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals held at 1:00 p.m., Friday, November 20, 1998, in the Town Annex Building Conference Room at 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, on the application of NEW ENGLAND TELEPHONEBELL ATLANTIC, owner, and for WGBH EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, lessee, of 15 High Street, Boston, MA 02110 and 125 Western Avenue, Boston, MA 02134, respectively, Board of Appeals File No. 107-98, the Board made the following decision: 2. The Applicant (WGBH) seeks a modification of Special Permits issued in ZBA decisions in file nos. 071-90, 044-91 and 054-98, and a Special Permit under Nantucket Zoning Bylaw §139-33A (alteration/expansion of apre-existing nonconforming structure/use). The Applicant proposes to mount two antennas at the 180 foot mark on an existing 220 foot telecommunications tower. No additional structures would be placed on the ground at the locus, all equipment would be placed inside existing equipment buildings. The new antennas would provide FM public radio broadcasts to the Island. The locus is nonconforming as to height limitations with the existing tower exceeding the 30-foot maximum height allowed; and as to use. The premises is located at 14 Eel Point Road, Assessor's Map 40, Parcel 64, Limited-Use-General-2. 3. This decision is based on the application and materials submitted with it and the testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing. The Planning Board made a favorable recommendation on the grounds the existing tower would be used and no new tower constructed for the proposed use. There were no letters on file in support or opposition. 4. The Applicant represents that the existing 220 foot communications tower was constructed in 1966 prior to the 1972 enactment of the Zoning Bylaw. The tower also exceeds the maximum allowable height in the LUG-2 zoning district and communications towers are not a permitted use in said zoning district. Therefore, both the structure and use are validly grandfathered, pre-existing and nonconforming. The proposed antenna installation will not increase the nonconforming height of the existing tower nor have a visual impact upon the character of the surrounding neighborhood being placed at an elevation above 180 feet from the base of the tower. The WGBH antennas will consist of a broadcast and astudio-to-transmitter link antenna. The former will consist of a Shively 6513-3 three bay, one-half wave spaced FM broadcast antenna which will extend from approximately 182 to 200 feet in three elements, each consisting of a three foot horizontal element and two two-foot diagonal elements mounted on a 45° angle. The latter will be a Scala PR-950 parabolic antenna 68 inches by 36 inches by 18 inches, mounted approximately 1'80 feet from the ground on the west face. The Applicant further represents that the radio frequency emissions from the installation will be safe. The link antenna is a receiving antenna which will receive a 950 Mhz signal relayed from Martha's Vineyard. The broadcast antenna will transmit 14 kilowatts at 91.1 Mhz. At the base of the tower, RF density will be less than 14.6 microwatts, an emission that is in compliance with federal and state regulations governing RF exposure. All mechanical support and ancillary radio equipment will be housed in the existing structures at the site. The tower and shelter, located in the center of the 11.7 acre parcel, are surrounded by a 250 foot buffer of existing mature vegetation and the existing 12 foot wide unpaved road will continue to be used for access to the site. 5. Therefore the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that WGBH's proposed radio rebroadcast installation is similar to recently approved licensed wire carrier installations in the area. Because the proposal consists of utilizing an existing tower and structure with no discernible public health impact, the Board further finds that the proposed installation of a receiving antenna and a broadcast antenna would ~t~e~u~,b,~ tantiall , more detrim~~,n,,,tal to the surrounding neighborhood than the existinglstructufe an us . There would~6 additional noise or traffic generated at the site and the modification of the decisions issued in ZBA file nos. 071-90, 044-91, and 054-98 would be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Bylaw. 6. Accordingly, by a unanimous vote, the Board grants the requested modification of the Special Permits issued in the decisions in ZBA file nos. 071-90, 044- 91, and 054-98, and a Special Permit under Nantucket Zoning Bylaw § 139-33A to mount receiving and broadcast antennas at approximately the 180-200 foot mark on the existing 220 foot telecommunications tower.

Background on WGBH The WGBH Educational Foundation is one of leading public broadcasting institutions in the nation operating WGBH-TV (channel 2), WGBX-TV (channel 44) and WGBH-FM (89.7) in Boston and WGBY-TV (channel 57) in Springfield. WGBH is the producer of such renowned public television and radio programs as "Nova," "Frontline," "Masterpiece Theater," "The World," and "Sound and Spirit." Cape & Islands Public Radio WGBH, in conjunction with Cape and Islands Community Public Radio (CICPR), is building two new public radio stations serving Cape Cod and the Islands. WNAN (91.1FM) will serve Nantucket while WCAI (90.1FM) will cover Cape Cod and Martha's Vinyard. In addition to local news, information and cultural programs, WNAN and WCAI will present many of leading public radio programs including "All Things Considered," "Morning Edition," "Fresh Air," "The World," "Prairie Home Companion," and "Car Talk." WGBH is planning for WNAN to go on-the-air in the spring of 1999. FCC-Form 340 Major Change In January of 1997, the FCC granted 'a construction permit to Cape and Islands Community Public Radio to build a new FM station with transmitter facilities located at 23 Wauwinet Road, Nantucket. Because of community concerns and potential construction problems regarding the originally licensed site, CICPR decided to relocate the WNAN transmitter to the Bell Atlantic tower at 14 Eel Point Road. In January 1998, the FCC transfered the construction permits for WNAN and WCAI from CICPR to WGBH. CICPR and WGBH continue to collaborate on the development of the stations. Zoning Compliance The Bell Atlantic tower was constructed in 1966 prior to the town's adoption of the Zoning Bylaw. The tower exceeds the maximum allowable height in the LUG-2 Zoning District. Both the tower and its use are grandfathered, pre-existing and non-conforming. Section 139-33-4 (a) of the Zoning Bylaws allows the Board of Appeals to grant a Special Permit for extending or altering a pre- existing, non-conforming structure if the Board finds that the alteration will not be detrimental to the neighborhood. WGBH's proposed installation will not increase the non- conforming height of the existing tower and the mounting antennas on the tower is consistent with the use of the structure as approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The following information outlines the proposed installation and demonstrates that the alteration of the tower will not be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood. Proposed Installation The proposed installation co-locates WGBH's equipment on the existing Bell Atlantic tower, a site used for other telecommunications installations. WGBH's installation is consistent with the town's goals for preserving the communities historic character because it minimizes the number of new towers needed on Nantucket. Using the Bell Atlantic tower enables WGBH to provide its public radio service to the community with the least visual impact to the Island. WGBH's installation will consist of one Shively FM antenna (see enclosed picture) with a center of radiation at approximately 195' on the north-east face of the tower and one Scala parametric studio-to-transmitter link antenna (see enclosed picture) located at approximately 180' on the west face of the tower. Both antennas will be connected to 7/8" coaxial cable that will run down the tower and into the current Bell Atlantic building. FM Antenna The FM broadcast antenna is a Shively.6513-3 three bay, one- half wave spaced antenna (see enclosed picture and technical data). The antenna will extend from approximately 182' 6" to 200" 3" and consists of three elements. Each element consists of a 3' horizontal element and two 2' diagonal elements mounted on a 45 ° degree angle. Each element weighs approximately 40 pounds. The FM antenna will transmit 14 kilowatts at 91.1 MHz and will serve a radius covering all of Nantucket (see Figure 3, coverage map). STL Antenna The Studio-to-transmitter link antenna is a Scala PR-950 parabolic antenna (see enclosed picture and technical data) that provides reception of the relayed signal from the WCAI-WNAN main studios. The antenna is 68" x 36" x18", weighs 38 pounds and will be mounted at approximately 180' on the west face. The antenna is a receiving antenna picking-up a 950Mhz signal relayed from Martha's Vinyard and originating in Woods Hole. Radio Shelter WGBH will not be constructing any additional building on the site. All of WGBH's equipment will be located in the existing Bell Atlantic building. Screening The existing tower and equipment buildings are located in the center of the 11.7 acre parcel of land. The developed portion of the lot is surrounded by existing mature vegetation. A 250' vegetated buffer currently exists around the facilities. WGBH's proposed installation will not effect the landscape in any way. Access Road The existing 12' wide unpaved access road will be used. No additional access roads proposed. Traffic Generation WGBH's equipment in the Bell Atlantic building will be serviced an average of once per month. The antennas will be serviced on an as needed basis. The proposed installation will generate very little traffic in the area. Public Safety The tower and equipment buildings are enclosed by a 6' chain link fence. The Bell Atlantic building housing the WGBH equipment is secure ensuring the safety of the community and protecting the equipment. The radio frequency emission from the FM antenna complies with federal and state regulations governing RF exposure. In accordance with FCC rules, an assessment was made for the proposed facilities and its impact at the proposed site. See "Non- Ionizing Radiation Calculations" from the enclosed FCC form 340. At the base of the tower, RF density will be less than 14.6 microwatts. In the words of the engineer conducting the study, there's not enough RF radiation at the base of the tower to "light a light bulb." Figure #7 in our FCC Form 340 outlines the power density in terms of distance from the tower. To assure that WGBH is in compliance with the projected calculations for non-ionizing radiation, WGBH will have Broadcast Signal Lab, an independent consulting firm specializing in RF measurements, verify our projections. Broadcast Signal Labs measurements will be reported to the State Department of Labor and Industries' Department of Occupational Hygiene. Construction Techniques & Schedule WGBH's facilities will be constructed in a good workman like manner by a professional tower company and WGBH staff engineers following industry standards and all applicable federal, state and local laws. WGBH plans to install its equipment in conjunction with Nextel as soon as all necessary approvals are secured. Summary WGBH's proposed installation is similar to others recently approved by the Zoning Board. Since our proposal consists of using an existing tower and building set back on a large lot, the proposed installation will not substantially change the site nor effect the surrounding neighborhood. There will be very little traffic as the site will only be serviced monthly. Installation of the antennas will have very little negative impact on the community and, WGBH believes, that the new broadcast service will be a significant community asset. The new radio station will provide a second locally originated radio service featuring local news and public affairs and many of the nation's leading public radio programs. For these reasons, we request that the Board of Appeals approve this special permit request.

Name (Typed or Printed) Donald E. Mussell__Jr. NCE Signature =may Date August 20, 1998 Relationship to Applicant (e.g., Consulting Engineer) Consulting Engineer Address (include ZIP Code) 415. Emerald Forest Lane Bonny Doon,CA 95060 Telephone No. (include Ana Code) (831) 420-1571 FCC 340 (Page 20) July 1997 According to information supplied by the applicant, the proposed site is not a subject of controversy on environmental grounds. The site is not believed to be near any official designated wilderness area, wildlife preserve, or any culturally, historically, architecturally or archaeologically significant feature. The site is not located in a floodplain, and no change in the character of the site is proposed as a part of the construction. No change in grade or land surface is proposed. The site will experience little or no change in human presence as a result of the proposed construction. NON-IONIZING RADIATION CALCULATIONS In accordance with the Commission's rules, an assessment was made of the proposed WNAN facility and it's impact at the proposed site. Table 1 of O.E.T. Bulletin 65 (Edition 97-01) was utilized to determine the extent of radio frequency radiation, as defined by the Commission's MPE limits, which are based upon those of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and the NCRP Report No. 86 (1986). The proposed WNAN antenna and effective radiated power was taken into consideration, utilizing the FCC/EPA computer model (FM Model) for estimating ground-level power densities. The applicant is proposing to utilize an existing tower. The proposed location has no other broadcast users, and a number of auxiliary users. The proposed anteiu~a system is a Vertically polarized Full-Wave spaced two-bay design. The proposed center of radiation is 68 meters above ground. This will produce a maximum field intensity level of 14.6 microwatts at a distance of 11 meters distant from the base of the tower (at a height of two meters above ground level), and a negligible field intensity level at the base of the tower and beyond 11 meters. See Figure 7. Because the predicted field intensity does not exceed the maxunum levels for controlled or uncontrolled exposure, it is believed that the proposal will be in compliance with the limits set forth in OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01(Table 1, Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure). The proposed site is located within private property, and access is restricted to the property owners and WNAN engineering personnel. The area directly surrounding the site is rural, and has no permanent population. Only authorized persons are allowed to enter the site, which is .1 kilometers from the nearest public highway, and access is through two locked gates. The WGBH Educational Foundation, (nc. Page 3 The applicant will, in coordination with other future users of the site, reduce power or cease operation as necessary to protect persons having access to the site, tower or antenna from radio frequency radiation in excess of FCC guidelines. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY AND BLANKETING There are no additional broadcast facilities located within 60 meters of the proposed transmitting site. No adverse interaction is expected to occur between the proposed facility and any other existing or proposed facilities. Applicant acknowledges its responsibilitytocoaect any problems caused by intermodulationinterferenceresulting from its proposed operation of Channe1216A and certifies that it will assume full financial responsibility for resolving any interference related problems. The 115 dBu blanketing contour extends .56 km from the proposed site covering an area that has a very sparse permanent population. Should any blanketing interference arise, the applicant will work to solve the problem in an expedient manner and will take full financial responsibility for the resolution of all complaints for a period of one year following commencement of program tests. After the first year, applicant will continue to provide technical information and assistance to any complainants. No specific procedure is proposed as each case will be handled as the circumstances dictate. Respectfully Submitted, Broadcast Engineering Services ;' ~~=" ~--- Donald E. Mussell jr.
