Holt, Director <br />Chuck Huffer, Director <br />GENERAL MANAGER EMERITUS <br />Tex Ward <br />SUBJECT: Proposed First Amendment --t Option and Lease Agreement with Verizon <br />Wireless for Change in Location of Cellular Communications Facility at North <br />Ranch Playfield <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Authorize the General Manager to execute First Amendment to Option and Lease <br />Agreement between Verizon Wireless (VZW) and the District to memorialize a change in <br />location of the cellular communications facility at North Ranch Playfield. <br />2. Authorize the General Manager to execute other documents and agreements necessary to <br />effectuate this wireless installation. <br />DISCUSSION <br />In September 2012, the Board approved a wireless communications facility at North Ranch <br />Playfield. The Planning Commission later considered the project and, aware of the public's <br />sensitivity to such installations, required VZW to move the facilities to the interior of the <br />property, thus creating further distance between the facilities and neighboring residents. The <br />newly proposed location is outside of the south ballfield on the first base side of the field. With <br />this change in location, VZW intends to utilize the existing light standard against the perimeter <br />ballfield fence northwest of the volleyball court. They will place the underground equipment <br />vault immediately adjacent to the antenna pole on the west side. The Planning Commission is <br />also requiring a re -design of the two above -ground vent stacks placing them at grade similar to <br />the vault hatch. <br />403 West Hillcrest Drive I Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 <br />(805) 495-6471 FAX: (805) 497-3199 Email: parks@crpd.org <br />
