American Tower Proposal for the Planning Commissio Part 2.


The Presentation starts with  seven pages of illustrations and technical drawings.If you don't understand them don't worry.  They are for illustrative purposes  and will give you an artists rendering of what is being proposed.  You may however make them bigger by clicking on the drawing with your mouse.

Then there is a four page letter with photographs describing the proposal. 

Then there are four pages of before and after graphics indicating the advantages of tower height and how the tower will improve "in building" communications.

Legal Description




The above  shows the coverage area of 85 foot tower. The rectangle around the circle is the City of  Bloomfield Hills. Coverage is weak in the southern part of the City and in the upper left hand corner (Hickory Grove and Lahser.  Increasing the tower height to 120 feet (below)  still misses the western and south east corners  of the City and has enormous spill over beyond city limits. Both measurements were made on 2011-04-05 which wou;d have been two months before initial correspondence with City began.

The below  "in building coverage" with no tower in the City shows poor coverage in the Northeast corner of the City where there are single family  homes but no buildings. Again the center rectangle with the letters mTPD is the City.
With the new tower all is better as indicated below.
