Furthermore,
moving the box should have no noise impact on close-by neighbors.
As
a result of the purchase of the equipment by VoiceStream,
Donaldson Run will now receive two sets of reports each year
showing an annual energy output from the site’s antennae -- one
from VoiceStream and one from Sprint. Finally, VoiceStream will be
subject to all terms of the existing use permit governing the
operation of cellular antennas at the Lee Pumping Station.
DRCA
members passed a resolution voicing no significant objections to
the VoiceStream application to transfer equipment at the site nor
to the County’s administrative approval of the request.
However, it is not the intent of DRCA to establish a
precedent which would impact future actions at this site. Further,
DRCA requested that the County require VoiceStream and APC to
conduct the annual environmental testing on an alternating
schedule (6 months apart) from each other to help ensure accurate
measurements.
Volunteers
Needed for “Citizen Radar” Program
Corporal
Patrick Donahue, DRCA liaison with the Arlington County Police,
presented information about a new program in Arlington designed to
help stop speeding on neighborhood streets.
The program has been successful in other jurisdictions.
After receiving training from the Police Department, volunteers
will work in groups of three to measure speeds and record license
plate numbers and make/model information of speeders.
Volunteers will be posted at problem spots in the
neighborhood
