Site Address: 2600 South Meridian Road Meridian, ID 83642
Prior Case No.:
AT&T Project No.: IDLO1114 Franklin and Linder/ FA10100288/ SG NR 1SR, CBand, DOD
Dear City of Meridian Planner,
On behalf of New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC ("AT&T") we are pleased to submit this request to modify AT&T's
existing wireless communication site at the location referenced above, as an Eligible Facilities Request for a minor
modification under Section 6409 and Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") rules.
Scope of Work
AT&T proposes the following minor modifications to this site. Please note: all work will be performed wholly within
the existing premises and utility easements and the project otherwise complies with the site's prior conditions of
approval.

AT&T's Proposed

structure

equipment); no new ground -mounted
cabinets if there were none before; if there
were ground -mounted cabinets, then no
new ground -mounted cabinets more than
10% larger than the existing cabinets
Concealment Elements
The existing wireless facility is an enclosed by secure chain link fence guarding the wireless monopole and
accompanied equipment. The proposed minor modification will continue to effectively stealth the wireless facility
by remaining in place with all new monopole equipment to be installed within the existing area and therefore will
not defeat the existing concealment.
FCC Shot Clock for Section 6409 Minor Modifications
AT&T requests approval of the following applications, as well as any other authorizations necessary, for its proposed
minor modification under Section 6409:
• Zoning and Building Permit being submitted concurrently through the City of Meridian web portal

Based on a filing date of 5/31/2022, the projected shot -clock deadline for a decision is August 1, 2022.
Our goal is to work with you to obtain approval of this minor modification earlier than the deadline. We will respond
promptly to any requests for information you may have for our application. Please let us know how we can work
