r <br /> <br /> a <br /> News Relea a City View Tower <br /> November 2 1987 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The n w facility would consist of a 140-foot, free standing, galvanized <br /> tower; a c ntrol building, six "whip-type" antennas; and one, six-foot <br /> diameter m crowave antenna. For size comparison, Page said the new tower <br /> would be o e-seventh the size of the 850-foot KVAL-TV tower. <br /> ~ The t wer would be unpainted, have no lights, and be enclosed by both a <br /> chain-link fence and a secondary security fence around the base of the tower. <br /> To limit visual impact, the new facility would be located at the southwest <br /> corner of he reservoir and sited to blend with the surrounding trees. <br /> The C'ty View site was selected as the best alternative because it meets <br /> the requir d radio coverage, the visual impact is limited and will be masked <br /> by the su ounding terrain and trees, the site is secluded, it was the most <br /> cost-effe tive, and is already in municipal ownership. <br /> Othe sites, such as Blanton Heights, were analyzed but not selected <br /> i <br /> because o interference from nearby radio and television towers and because <br /> signals o other cities could potentially cause interference. <br /> A fo mal public hearing will be held later.
