Re: Opposition to Special Exception Petition No.22-003-SE
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
This letter is written on behalf of SBA 2012 TC Assets, LLC, a subsidiary of SBA
Communications Corporation ("SBA"), in opposition to the Application for Special Exception
("Application") submitted by Ignite Wireless/Kyle Lotze, as authorized agent for CitySwitch II-
A,LLC("CitySwitch"). The Application was heard by the Board of Zoning Adjustment("BZA")
on October 20, 2022, and the BZA non-unanimously recommended approval of the Application
with conditions.The Application is scheduled to be heard by City Council for a final determination
of approval or denial at its upcoming quasi-judicial meeting on February 7, 2023, at 6:00 p.m.
The Application seeks approval for the construction of a new 150-foot telecommunications
tower, with an additional 10-foot lightning rod (total above ground level ("AGL") height of 160-
feet) ("Proposed Tower") on CSX Transportation Inc.'s ("CSX") property located at 1117 NW
9th Street, Okeechobee, FL 34972. SBA is the owner of an existing 150-foot telecommunications
tower("SBA's Tower") located at 3079 NW 8th Street,Okeechobee,Florida 34972,just 0.7 miles
from the planned location of the Proposed Tower. Please see Exhibit A for the specific location
of the Proposed Tower and SBA's Tower. As stated in the Application,the Proposed Tower is
being sought by AT&T for the primary purpose of relocating its equipment from SBA's
Tower to the Proposed Tower to obtain a lower monthly rental rate.
As described in more detail below, City Council should deny the Application because
CitySwitch fails to demonstrate compliance with all of the requirements of the City's Land
Development Regulations ("LDR") necessary for the Application to be approved, as follows:

(1) CitySwitch fails to demonstrate a need or demand for the Proposed Tower, as
required by LDR Section 90-602(2)(b), because:
(a) AT&T's argument that the Proposed Tower is needed due to the cost of rent on SBA's
Tower is no longer applicable because SBA offered to match the monthly rent rate
currently offered to AT&T by CitySwitch on the Proposed Tower, less $10.00; and
(b) the Proposed Tower would not provide any appreciable increase in signal coverage or
strength over SBA's Tower due to its close proximity to SBA's Tower and another
existing tower owned by American Tower Corporation which is located to the East of
the Proposed Tower and available for AT&T's collocation ("Existing ATC Tower");
(2) CitySwitch fails to demonstrate compliance with the performance and construction
standards listed in LDR Section 90-603, as required by LDR Section 90-602(2)(d), because:
(a) LDR Section 90-603(1)(5) encourages CitySwitch to seek collocation on existing
communication towers rather than constructing an entirely new tower, however,
CitySwitch has not provided evidence of any good faith attempts to seek collocation
on SBA's Tower or the Existing ATC Tower.
CitySwitch Fails to Demonstrate a Need or Demand for the Proposed Tower
For the Application to be approved by City Council, CitySwitch is required to demonstrate
a "need or demand for the" Proposed Tower, pursuant to LDR Section 90-602(2)(b). In its
Application, CitySwitch states that the Proposed Tower is needed for AT&T to "relocate
equipment off an existing tower where rent has become exorbitantly high."
However, the "need" or "demand" referenced in LDR Section 90-602(2)(b) was clearly
intended to be the "need" or "demand" of the public, i.e., the citizens of the City, for a new
communications tower for cellular coverage. "Need"or"demand" under that section of the Code
was certainly not intended to be the desire of a Fortune 100 company like AT&T to have an entirely
new communications tower constructed to obtain a lower monthly rental rate.
Further, any alleged economic need related to the rental payments under AT&T's lease
with SBA is negated by the fact that on December 14,2022, SBA offered to match the monthly
rental rate currently offered to AT&T by CitySwitch on the Proposed Tower, less $10.00.
As set forth in the Declaration under oath of SBA Site Marketing Manager Brooke Irby, attached
as Exhibit B, in a good faith effort to accommodate AT&T's newly expressed desire to re-
negotiate the terms of its lease with SBA for AT&T to continue collocating on SBA's Tower, SBA
sent a letter to AT&T on December 14, 2022, offering to match the monthly rental rate currently
offered to AT&T by CitySwitch, less $10.00, upon AT&T providing a copy of bona fide
documentation of the monthly rental rate offered by CitySwitch. In short, SBA has offered
AT&T lease terms at a lower cost than what AT&T could obtain from CitySwitch.
As stated in the Sworn Statement of Spencer Gamrell with AT&T that CitySwitch provided
in support of the Application, AT&T will bear a significant capital cost in decommissioning its

equipment from SBA's Tower and re-locating to the Proposed Tower, and would prefer not to do
so. As SBA has offered to match the monthly rental rate offered by CitySwitch, less $10.00,
AT&T will be better positioned by remaining on SBA's Tower and avoiding the cost of re-locating
to the Proposed Tower. AT&T can instead use the relocation costs, as well as its monthly rental
rate savings,to benefit the public by upgrading its equipment and installing FirstNet equipment on
SBA's Tower.
Moreover,although AT&T provided an RF analysis and RF maps("AT&T RF Analysis")
which appear to depict a slight gap in coverage in the middle of the map and to the East of SBA's
Tower, the AT&T RF Analysis fails to consider coverage from all of the existing and available
towers located in AT&T's search ring, including the Existing ATC Tower. As demonstrated
below, the Existing ATC Tower is located in the exact area that AT&T claims there is a gap in
coverage:

As explained in the Declaration under oath of SBA Vice President, New Business
Technology and Operations Sanjay Dhawan, attached as Exhibit C, when considering the scope
or strength of available coverage in the area, it is necessary to consider coverage from all existing
and available towers in the area, including SBA's Tower and the Existing ATC Tower. In
comparing coverage from both SBA's Tower and the Existing ATC Tower to the Proposed Tower,
it is clear that the Proposed Tower will not appreciably expand the scope or strength of available
coverage in the area. Rather,the Proposed Tower will provide duplicative or overlapping coverage
with SBA's Tower and the Existing ATC Tower, making the Proposed Tower unnecessary.

Instead of constructing another new tower in AT&T's identified search ring,AT&T should
instead put its equipment in a location where it expands coverage to the citizens of the City by
keeping its equipment on SBA's Tower and putting any new equipment on the Existing ATC
Tower. This is exactly what other carriers in the area have done, including T-Mobile and Verizon.
Should City Council approve the Application and allow for construction of the Proposed
Tower without a demonstrated need or demand, it will set a dangerous precedent that could result
in the proliferation of multiple unnecessary towers throughout the landscape. Further, if
CitySwitch is permitted to construct an entirely new communications tower based solely on the
economic reasons of AT&T(which economic reasons, as discussed above,are moot due to SBA's
offer to match the monthly rental less $10) and without any benefit to the public, other tower
companies and carriers can expect to be permitted to construct a new communications tower in the
City without demonstrating any actual public need or demand for a new tower. Clearly, such a
situation would be to the detriment of the citizens of the City, and contrary to the intent and plain
language of the City's LDR.
Accordingly, because CitySwitch fails to demonstrate a need or demand for the Proposed
Tower, the Application should be denied.
CitySwitch Fails to Demonstrate Compliance With
The LDR's Performance and Construction Standards
In addition to demonstrating a need or demand for the Proposed Tower,for the Application
to be approved by City Council, CitySwitch is also required to demonstrate "[compliance with
the performance and construction standards listed in section 90-603." However, as described in
more detail below, CitySwitch fails to comply with the performance and construction standards
for collocation (Section 90-603(1)).
(a) Collocation Standards
The performance and construction standards relating to collocation provided in LDR
Section 90-603(1)(5) encourages CitySwitch to "collocate onto existing communication towers,"
rather than constructing an entirely new communication tower. However, CitySwitch has not
provided evidence that it made any good faith attempt to seek collocation onto an existing
communication tower, including SBA's Tower or the Existing ATC Tower.
Importantly, SBA's Tower is only 0.7 miles from the location of the Proposed Tower, and
is available for collocation of both AT&T's and CSX's proposed antennas and equipment. As the
Declaration of Brooke Irby (Exhibit B) confirms, AT&T has collocated on SBA's Tower since
2008, pursuant to the existing lease agreement originally established between Nextel South Corp.
and AT&T. Since AT&T has collocated on SBA's Tower, AT&T has never mentioned any
concerns or issues with SBA's Tower, or the terms of its lease with SBA, until SBA discovered
the Application after it was submitted.
Further, on November 22, 2022, during this Application process, AT&T provided a copy
of an October 27, 2020 letter to SBA regarding its lease with SBA. However, as explained under
JIMERSON BIRR!
One Independent Drive-Suite 1400 I Jacksonville,FL 32202 I Telephone:(904)389-0050 I Facsimile:(904)212-1269 I www.jimersonfirm.com

oath at the BZA hearing, that letter did not go to the correct address as provided in the lease with
SBA. Further, the October 27, 2020 letter was a generic letter that was sent to SBA on thousands
of towers across the County at the same time, and in fact, AT&T and SBA have been actively
negotiating amended lease terms on thousands of those towers. Had AT&T properly
communicated its concerns with the terms of the lease on SBA's Tower in Okeechobee prior to
the filing of this Application, SBA would have worked with AT&T to come to some sort of
resolution.
Unfortunately, SBA was not properly given an opportunity to negotiate with AT&T prior
to CitySwitch filing the Application, but SBA is willing to negotiate with AT&T for AT&T to
remain collocated on SBA's Tower and to prevent the unnecessary proliferation of communication
towers in the City. In fact,because all the AT&T and CSX equipment can be collocated on SBA's
Tower, there is no need to allow another unnecessary tower to be constructed just 0.7 miles apart
from SBA's Tower.
Accordingly, because CitySwitch has not provided evidence of any good faith attempts by
AT&T or CSX to seek collocation on SBA's Tower, or the Existing ATC Tower, it fails to meet
the performance and construction standards relating to collocation provided in LDR Section 90-
603(1)(5).
Conclusion
In sum, the Application should be denied because (1) CitySwitch failed to demonstrate a
need or demand for the Proposed Tower, as required by LDR Section 90-602(2)(b), and (2)
CitySwitch failed to demonstrate compliance with the performance and construction standards
listed in LDR Section 90-603, as required by LDR Section 90-602(2)(d). Accordingly, SBA
respectfully requests for City Council to deny the Application.
Sincerely,

RE: Application No.22-003-SE
DECLARATION OF BROOKE IRBY
STATE OF GEORGIA
COUNTY OF FULTON
I,Brooke Irby, hereby certify and state as follows:
1. I am the Site Marketing Manager for SBA 2012 TC Assets, LLC, a subsidiary of
SBA Communications Corporation ("SBA").
2. I make this Declaration with the understanding that it is to be used in opposition to
the Application for Special Exception, Application No. 22-003-SE, submitted by Ignite
Wireless/Kyle Lotze, as authorized agent for CitySwitch II-A, LLC ("CitySwitch"). All
statements contained in this Declaration are based upon my personal knowledge or my personal
knowledge of the business records of SBA. I am over the age of eighteen and I am fully competent
to testify to the facts recited herein.'
3. It is my job to interact with carriers, such as AT&T, who have located, or are
interested in locating, onto an SBA telecommunications tower in Florida.
In my capacity working for SBA, I am one of the primary custodians of the organizational documents, files,
applications, letters, correspondence, reports, and other paperwork transmitted or received in connection with the
dealings with AT&T Wireless ("AT&T") in Florida(the "Records"). SBA's files contain documents which were
made and/or kept as part of the Records,contemporaneously at or near the time of the events so memorialized herein,
by or from information transmitted by SBA's employees and personnel who had knowledge of the facts set forth in
such documents. The Records are kept in the course of a regularly conducted business activity and for each such
document contained in the Records,it was the regular practice of business activity to make or retain such document.
To the extent that I refer to any such document other than those made or received by me personally,such document is
one of SBA's Records.
4. I maintain an open line of communication with the carriers, such as AT&T, to
discuss tenant issues, including but not limited to, collocation, new equipment, centerline
placement of equipment onto SBA communication towers, and other related matters. This would
include the communications tower SBA has owned, operated, and maintained since October 1,
2012, in Okeechobee County,FL on property located at 3079 NW 8th Street, Okeechobee,Florida
34972 ("SBA's Tower").
5. I understand CitySwitch is seeking approval for the construction of a new 150-foot
telecommunications tower, with an additional 10-foot lightning rod (total above ground level
("AGL") height of 160-feet) ("Proposed Tower") on CSX Transportation Inc.'s ("CSX")
property located at 1117 NW 9th Street, Okeechobee, FL 34972.
6. I was surprised by CitySwitch's Application for Special Exception that identified
AT&T as the primary intended tenant on the Proposed Tower, as I regularly communicate with
AT&T.
7. AT&T currently leases space and maintains its communications equipment on
SBA's Tower. AT&T has collocated on SBA's Tower since 2008, prior to SBA's ownership.
8. In exchange for collocating on SBA's Tower,AT&T agreed to make rent payments
to SBA, in accordance with the Site Lease Agreement dated September 23, 2008, originally
established between Nextel South Corp and AT&T. SBA has always billed AT&T in accordance
with the agreed upon Site Lease Agreement.
9. Since AT&T has collocated on SBA's Tower, the Site Lease Agreement has been
amended 6 times. The most recent amendment to the Site Lease Agreement is dated August 30,
2021, for AT&T to make changes to its equipment mounted on SBA's Tower.
2
10. When AT&T executed the Site Lease Agreement on August 30, 2021, AT&T did
not mention any issues or concerns with the Site Lease Agreement with SBA or raise any concerns
about the amount of the rent due to SBA for collocating on SBA's Tower.
11. In my prior communications with AT&T, it has not mentioned concerns or issues
with SBA's Tower, inquired whether SBA's Tower could accommodate FirstNet equipment, nor
has AT&T raised any other concerns to SBA about its occupancy on SBA's Tower. Notably,
AT&T has never contacted me about reducing the overall monthly rent rate on SBA's Tower, nor
attempted to re-negotiate the terms of the Site Lease Agreement relating to the monthly rent rate.
12. AT&T is currently a tenant on over 6,690 SBA telecommunications towers
nationwide. Given our relationship with AT&T, SBA would certainly appreciate the opportunity
to work with AT&T to stay collocated on SBA's Tower, which prevents the unnecessary and
needless proliferation of telecommunication towers in the City of Okeechobee, Florida.
13. Notably, on December 14, 2022, in an effort to accommodate AT&T's newly
expressed desire to re-negotiate the terms of the Site Lease Agreement for AT&T to continue
collocating on SBA's Tower, I sent an email to AT&T offering to match the monthly rent
rate currently offered to AT&T by CitySwitch on the Proposed Tower, less $10.00 ("SBA's
Rent Match Email"). A copy of SBA's Rent Match Email that was sent to AT&T on December
14, 2022, is attached as Exhibit 1.
14. As stated in SBA's Rent Match Email, SBA is willing to match the monthly rental
rate currently offered to AT&T by CitySwitch on the Proposed Tower, less $10.00, upon AT&T
providing a copy of bona fide documentation of the monthly rental rate offered by CitySwitch on
the Proposed Tower.
3
15. Further, having reviewed SBA's corporate records, I can confirm SBA most
certainly can accommodate additional equipment for AT&T, including FirstNet equipment, and
can accommodate CSX's equipment, on SBA's Tower.
16. Should AT&T's needs require modifications to SBA's Tower, SBA is willing to
discuss AT&T's needs with them further. Such modifications as may be needed to accommodate
AT&T at a higher height or for more/larger equipment are common practice in the
telecommunications industry.
17. In sum, there is ample structural capacity for SBA's Tower to handle more
equipment, including CSX's equipment and AT&T's FirstNet equipment, as SBA constructed
SBA's Tower to house multiple tenants.

Good Morning John,
I hope this email finds you well and please consider this email as SBA's offer to renegotiate the lease terms at the
referenced SBA Site in the City of Okeechobee, FL.
I did not know that AT&T had any interest in renegotiating the current lease or moving away from SBA's tower
until SBA discovered CitySwitch's and AT&T's application to construct a new wireless communications facility (.7
miles from the SBA tower) after it already had been filed. It surprises SBA that AT&T did not reach out to SBA or
contact me to attempt to renegotiate the lease at issue before moving forward with relocation efforts especially
since AT&T just amended this lease in 2021. SBA comes in good faith, seeking to negotiate a lease for AT&T's
continued collocation at this site.
Please accept this email as SBA's offer to match the corresponding monthly rental rate currently offered to AT&T
by CitySwitch on the above referenced tower lease for the above referenced site, less $10.00. SBA will require
AT&T first to provide a copy of bona fide documentation proving the rate offered by CitySwitch to AT&T. In order
to expedite this process, please send the requested documentation to me via e-mail at birby@sbasite.com.
SBA is hopeful we can reach a solution that is best for the City of Okeechobee community while helping AT&T be
successful.

RE: Application No.22-003-SE
DECLARATION OF SANJAY DHAWAN
STATE OF FLORIDA
COUNTY OF PALM BEACH
I, Sanjay Dhawan, hereby certify and state as follows:
1. I am employed as the Vice President, New Business Technology and Operations
for SBA Communications Corporation. I am providing this Declaration on behalf of SBA Towers
IX, LLC, a subsidiary of SBA Communications Corporation ("SBA").
2. I have thirty(30)years of wireless experience working in designing,deploying,and
optimization of networks with wireless carriers. During my tenure in the wireless industry,I have
worked with wireless carriers on multiple generations of deployment from 2G to 5G. Additionally,
I manage a team of Radio Frequency ("RF") Engineers, who focus on wireless design and
engineering, in and among other things.
3. I make this Declaration with the understanding that it is to be used in opposition to
the Application for Special Exception,Application No. 22-003-SE("Application"),submitted by
Ignite Wireless/Kyle Lotze, as authorized agent for CitySwitch II-A, LLC ("CitySwitch"). All
statements contained in this Declaration are based upon my personal knowledge or my personal
knowledge of the business records of SBA. I am over the age of eighteen (18) and I am fully
competent to testify to the facts recited herein.l
4. SBA has owned, operated, and maintained a 150-foot communications tower
situated on property located at 23079 NW 8th Street, Okeechobee, Florida 34972 ("SBA's
Tower").
5. I understand the Application is seeking to construct a new 150-foot
communications tower,with an additional 10-foot lightning rod(total above ground level("AGL)"
height of 160-feet,to be situated on property located at 1117 NW 9th Street, Okeechobee,Florida
34972 ("Proposed CitySwitch Tower"), which is only 0.747 miles from SBA's Tower.
6. The SBA Records include an RF Coverage Plot Analysis and the RF Coverage
Plots, which compare the available coverage at varying frequencies on SBA's Tower at 120-feet
and 155-feet, and the Proposed CitySwitch Tower at 145-feet (collectively, the "SBA RF
Analysis"). The SBA RF Analysis is attached to this Affidavit as Exhibit 1.
7. I have reviewed the SBA RF Analysis,and based upon my education,training, and
experience, I can confirm that the SBA RF Analysis is an accurate depiction and comparison of
the RF coverage between SBA's Tower and the Proposed CitySwitch Tower at varying
frequencies.
In my capacity working for SBA, I am one of the primary custodians of the organizational documents,
files, applications, letters, correspondence, reports, and other paperwork transmitted or received in
connection with communication towers located in Florida (the "SBA Records"). SBA's files contain
documents which were made and/or kept as part of the SBA Records, contemporaneously at or near the
time of the events so memorialized herein, by or from information transmitted by SBA's employees and
personnel who had knowledge of the facts set forth in such documents. The SBA Records are kept in the
course of regularly conducted business activity and for each such document contained in the SBA Records,
it is the regular practice of business activity to make or retain such documents. To the extent that I refer to
any such document other than those made or received by me personally, such document is one of the SBA
Records.
2
8. Based upon my education, training, and experience, I agree with and adopt the
findings in the SBA RF Analysis that the Proposed CitySwitch Tower would not appreciably
expand the scope or strength of available coverage in the area, but would instead provide
duplicative or overlapping coverage with the that provided by SBA's Tower. Further, the
installation of additional antennas on the Proposed CitySwitch Tower would be considered an
"overbuild" or impractical given the coverage overlap with SBA's Tower.
9. I have also reviewed the RF analysis by AT&T entitled, "RF Justification for HRR
Site FA 15611191, West Okee Relo" (the "AT&T RF Analysis"), which was included with the
Application. A copy of the AT&T RF Analysis is attached to this Affidavit as Exhibit 2.
10. The AT&T RF Analysis only considers coverage from SBA's Tower which is 0.747
miles to the West of the Proposed CitySwitch Tower and another tower which is 3.107 miles to
the East of the Proposed CitySwitch Tower(the"OKEE Tower"),on which AT&T also currently
has active antennas.
11. However,the AT&T RF Analysis does not consider coverage from another existing
tower owned by American Tower Corporation which is 0.866 miles to the East of the Proposed
CitySwitch Tower and available for collocation(the"Existing ATC Tower"). A map identifying
the locations of SBA's Tower, the Proposed CitySwitch Tower and the Existing ATC Tower is
attached as Exhibit 3, and the specific addresses of each Tower are set out below:
• SBA's Tower(existing AT&T colocation)
Address: 3079 NW 8th Street, Okeechobee, FL 34972
Coordinates: Latitude 27.2514; Longitude -80.85687
• Proposed CitySwitch Tower
Address: 1117 NW 9th Street, Okeechobee, FL
Coordinates: Latitude 27.25214; Longitude-80.84480
• Existing ATC Tower(colocation candidate)
Address: 119 NW 8th Street, Okeechobee, FL
3
Coordinates: Latitude 27.250869; Longitude-80.830700
12. SBA's Tower and the Existing ATC Tower are both located within the search ring
identified by AT&T in the AT&T RF Analysis.
13. When considering the scope or strength of available coverage in the area, it is
necessary to consider coverage from the towers that are located within AT&T's search ring and
are available for collocation,including SBA's Tower and the Existing ATC Tower. In comparing
coverage from SBA's Tower and the Existing ATC Tower to the Proposed CitySwitch Tower, it
is clear that from the SBA RF Analysis, that the Proposed CitySwitch Tower would not
appreciably expand the scope or strength of available coverage in the area, but would instead
provide duplicative or overlapping coverage with SBA's Tower and the Existing ATC Tower.
14. Further,if AT&T re-located from SBA's Tower to the Proposed CitySwitch Tower,
it would shift the available coverage in the area 0.7 miles to the East, causing at best a marginal
improvement in coverage 0.7 miles to the East. However, this relocation would also eliminate
some of the available coverage to the citizens located to the West of SBA's Tower.
15. Rather than building an entirely new tower that would at best only marginally
improve coverage to slightly to the East of SBA's Tower, while hurting coverage at the expense
of the citizens located to the West of SBA's Tower, AT&T could remain on SBA's Tower and
also collocate onto the Existing ATC Tower,which would maximize coverage to all citizens in the
area.
16. In fact, the other carriers on SBA's Tower (Verizon and T-Mobile) are already
collocated on both SBA's Tower and the Existing ATC Tower to achieve maximum coverage to
all citizens in the area.
4
17. Instead of constructing another new tower in AT&T's identified search ring,AT&T
should instead put its equipment in a location where it expands coverage to the citizens of the City
of Okeechobee by keeping its equipment on SBA's Tower and putting any new equipment on the
Existing ATC Tower.

TO: SBA
Subject: RF Coverage Plot Analysis: City of Okeechobee, FL
Date:October 18, 2022
1. METHODOLOGY. The attached plots depict broadcast radio frequency(RF) coverage from the existing
site to City of Okeechobee, FL and a proposed site approximately 0.7452 miles to the East. At each
location,cellular industry typical LTE operating parameters were considered for omnidirectional antennas
mounted at 120 and 155 feet above ground level at the existing site, and at 145 feet above ground level
for the proposed site. Ground elevations are 33 and 29 feet above mean sea level, respectively.
Plots for both locations were generated for 700, 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz operations. The signal levels
depicted are associated with LTE service reliability where the strong coverage levels in green and blue
occur near the towers and decrease with distance from the sites and intervening terrain obstructions.
Signal levels greater than -70 dBm shown as blue are associated with feasible coverage within buildings.
Marginal coverage is provided in the regions depicted in yellow between-90 dBm and-80 dBm and signal
levels between-100 dBm and-90 dBm shown as red represent poor coverage associated with call failures.
A comparison of coverage performance for each site is based on low band (700 and 850 MHz) and high
band (1900 and 2100 MHz) prediction results. Radiowave propagation conditions between these bands
differ because of terrain and ground clutter(e.g. vegetation) effects at different frequencies. Generally,
low band operations provide greater area coverage. Therefore, high band operations provide additional
customer traffic capacity closer to the cellular site.
2. COMPARISON. The sites considered in these coverage plots provide service to the depicted locations
and roads leading to City of Okeechobee, FL. For low band operations, the existing site provides strong
coverage approximately 1.3 miles in all directions and to non-contiguous areas to 1.7 miles from the site.
This includes 1.6 miles of US Hwy 98. The proposed site provides strong coverage approximately 1.3 miles
in all directions and to non-contiguous areas to 1.7 miles from the site. This includes 1.6 miles of US Hwy
98.
For high band operations, both sites provide strong coverage to non-contiguous areas 0.7 miles in all
directions.
3. CONCLUSION. Based on the coverage comparison presented above, the proposed site provides
comparable coverage to City of Okeechobee, FL due to its close proximity to the existing site. For wireless
operators with antennas mounted on the existing site, the installation of additional antennas on the
proposed site would be considered to be an "overbuild" or impractical given the coverage overlap.

Re: RF Justification for HRR Site FA 15611191, West Okee Relo
AT&T's RF department has been asked to provide RF coverage maps for proposed site West Okee
Relo, the subject of this application. AT&T intends to remove its equipment from the SBA tower (West
Okee) located at 2773 NW 8th Street in Okeechobee and install it on the proposed tower to be located
at 1678 NW 9th Avenue in Okeechobee.
Figure 1 below shows a predicted cellular coverage map for the AT&T network with the SBA site as
the network exists today and Figure 2 shows the same predicted cellular coverage map view with the
SBA site replaced by the proposed West Okee Relo site.

AT&T moving their cellular equipment from the SBA tower West Okee to the proposed West Okee
Relo tower will enable AT&T to maintain existing service toward the west and improve indoor service
levels in downtown Okeechobee where the area's structure density exists the most
