The specific site in the request for zoning is the parcel of property located at the SE* of Section 18 T7N R67W, Weld County, Colorado. (FCC) A Radio station is a Federal Communications Commission/licensed broadcast facility which provides service in the form of aural transmission to a large area using the technology of electromagnetic wave propagation. Because, the facility is licensed by the FCC it must conform to their •I rules and regulations in all aspects. As these rules and regulations pertain to technical operation, the FCC has set down certain criteria for a broadcast facility in providing a necessary coverage as well as protection to other existing broadcast stations. In order to better understand the operation of a broadcast facility, visualize this analogy: The signal being broadcast from a radio station, if it could be seen , would have the shape of that of a balloon filled with water and placed on the floor. This configuration would be called "omni- directional" in that the radiated signal emitted from one tower (the stem of the baloon fixed to the floor) would characteristically spread out in all directions. This is the most simple operation for an AM broadcast station. Using the technology of electro-magnetic wave engineering, it is possible to change the shape of the radiated signal by using additional towers. Referring once again to our water-filled balloon , if one was to place a pencil along side the balloon and press It toward the balloon, the shape would change so that in certain directions the balloon would bulge out and in other directions would be supressed. It is impolrtaiit to note that the stem of the balloon is fixed to the floor and cannot move. This stem can be referred to as a "reference"tower• and the pencil can be referred to as a "control" tower. It can easily be pictured that by varying the •location Weld County pg 2 of the control tower with respect to- the reference tower, numerous shapes of the pattern can be achieved. The FCC, in very definite rules, places stringent requirements with regard to the quality of the signal which must be provided over the primary licensed city as well as the suppression of signal to meet protection requirements of co- and/or adjacent channel stations. With respect to the KIIX facility in Fort Collins, the stations which require protection are as follows: KCSJ, Pueblo CO KSJB, Jamestown ND KCSR, Chadron NE KNOW, Denver CO. As can be seen, the station directions from Fort Collins in which protection must be provided are northeast, east and south. Therefore, going back to our water-filled balloon, let's put sharp pointed needles in the directions where protection must be provided. Now we take our control tower and vary the shape of the balloon so as not to be pricked by any of these needles. In the case of KIIX it requires a four-tower arrangement in a particular manner so that the protection requirements in the correct directions are met. Such 2 configuration results in one large signal lobe directed from due west to almost due north. This pattern is achieved using a four-tower directional antenna system with the spacing and orientations of the towers with respect to one another being that in the shape of a parallelogram. Full engineering details with regard to the protection requirements necessary, and proposed operation of the four-tower antenna system have been submitted to the FCC in the WREN Broadcasting Company' s application for construction permit dated 16 March 1978. THis application for CP is on file and readily available to the public from the FCC as well as the public file of the broadcast facility, KIIX. • Because of the shape of this directional antenna pattern, it was necessary to locate a transmitting site east and slightly south of Fort Collins. In addition to a directional daytime pperation, KIIX Radio is planning a directional nighttime operation which has more stringent protection and coverage requirements. It is best to utilize the same transmitting site for both operations therefor a transmitter site location becomes extremely critical so as to be able to meet the necessary FCC requi4rements. = Weld County page 3 t . In the case of KIIX radio the transmitter location site was confined to an area of approximately 6 square 'miles measuring 2miles north and south, and 3 'miles east .and west. The proposed transmitter site located almost in the center of the northern boundary of the area. I It is imperative that the transmitter site for any AM broadcast installation be comparatively level in nature and free of obstacles which would impair its operation. Such obstacles as- irrigation ditches, creeks, sharply disruptances in elevation (ravines, cliffs , etc) . Therefore, in addition for the KIIX facility to be located in the relatively limited area, the area that it could be located in must be comparatively level . The gperation of a broadcast facility is m non-polutingpe vvironmentally clean. The land which the facility is located upon can be 'used for either planting or grazing. There is no affect on the land f immediately adjacent to the transmitter site by the operation of the facility. ' Nor does the operation of the facility affect the development of the land adjacent to it in any way. As can be seen around numerous broadcast installations, home developements have been constructed. And because 'of the extremely low frequency, there has never been a question of health or safety hazard by the operation of the facility to the surrounding areas. It is, of course, understood that if anyone should happen to brush up against one of these towers during its operation, then of course it would be comparable to placing one's hand on a hot frying pan. However, and because of stringent FCC requirements, these towers are enclosed in an an'dT.w 4,P,4 appropriate fenceiland locked.aad• constructed in a manner so as to discourage entrance. Add-i-t-Fena-1-}y The location for the guy anchors are similarly enclosed to both provide protection for the tower and as well as for the health and safely of animals and/or people. Compatability of this operation with the surrounding terrain is a difficult subject to speak to. When the surrounding terrain consists of flat, level land four 360' towers do not seem compatible. But then again, a 4-lane wide, 200'' long bridge 'over a 400' deep gorge is also not compatible with the surrounding terrain, but is extremely necessary. -t /a.wt aoae # The area for miles arounp the proposed transmitter, site is agricultural in ' nature(at this date)wi4eh would not dis\ upted by the operation of the facility. i e .• JJ , Weld County page 4 And the population is so slight minimum impact with regard to esthetics for maximum amount of people is evident. 1 y . .. - • Weld County page 5 With regard to esthetics it must be pointed out that running along the northern and 1 western boundery of the proposed property presently exists the Platt Riverpower authority^'1 transmission line.

The towers are uniform cross-section and ere guyed. There are constructed in a triangular shape, using three poles ( each leg of the - triangle) which are approx. two inches in diameter. The poles are then interlaced with i I 4" diameter structural supports so as to give strength the higher the tower goes. The overall width of a face is approx. 2' . The overall structure is held in place with guyes r lay to /fri,, (steel cables) which are normally 3/8" in diame r. As compared to the ia-1 =, .off diameter transmission line cables of the power poles. 41.

It is immaterial to the operation of the broadcast facility what color the tower is painted. l ` However, the Federal Aviation Administration has a Health and Safety factor that requires ‘ t Weld County page 6 • that the towers be painted international orange and white so as to discourage low flying turkeys a�*'� their ,during daytime flying.

The following information is submitted in accordance with the provisions.'of 'tCC Section 1 .1311 . 1 ) • The proposed site of the KIIX directional antenna system is located 6.4 km (4.0 mi ) east of Interstate Highway 25 and 1 .1 km (0.7 mi ) south of Highway 14. This site is 12.9 km (8.0 mi ) east of Fort Collins in • Section 18,. T7N, R67W, Weld County, Colorado. 2) The proposed site is the best available location for city-grade coverage • and ease of access for rapid maintenance. 3) The proposed KIIX .directional antenna system consists of- four 109.7 m (360' ) vertical steel towers of uniform cross-section, guyed and each mounted on a 1 .5m (5' ) base with 0.9m (3' ) lighting; The towers are • arranged in a parallelogram. The long side is spaced 266.5m (874.3' ) on a line bearing 040°T. The short side is spaced 111 :0 m (364.3.' ) on a line bearing 165°T. See Exhibits E-7 and E-10. 4) The applicant will confer with zoning officials as necessary and assures that zoning regulations will be met with approval to construct. 5) The proposed construction 'has not received any unfavorable- comment on, environmental grounds from the local community inasmuch as the site is ' located in a sparsely populated area east of Fort Collins. It is believed that the proposed array will not cause any adverse environmental effects. • 6) The site is not located 'in an area officially designated a wildlife preserve, wilderness area, nor adjacent to any area •listed in the "National Register of Historic Places" .

The property was dry land farming at the time we purchased the "site. To irrigate, water must either be purchased or rented. Locating the towers_on the property will not prevent future farming. - ,sin `-+e ,i' 2. Within the pefimeter-and guidelines set down by the Federal Communication Commission, this property was the only property available for sale or lease. 3. All other property in the area that was available, was not suitable because of existing irrigation ditches and reservoirs. 4. The property was in an area of low density housing as com- pared to other available ground with high density housing. • ' Sincerely, • et) r� J G----- • Jack Landon - Vice President WREN Broadcasting Company, Inc. mjs :r" AN ALF M.LANDON RADIO STATION 4', f�ir:„' ---___Tua_0 Culls el__&.o_Sec--.of\S_ -- - t .

Ho es I Fort Colli , olo1ado 80521 This is in answer to your.request for soil information for the construction of radio towers and a control building !to be located in the SEi of section 18, Twp. 7N, Range 67W, Weld County, Colorado. I As indicated by the accompanying' location map, the proposed construction will take place on soil types (X53-B) Kim loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes, (X53-C) Kim loam, 3 to 5 percent slopes and (41-B) Weld loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes. . I All three soil types are deep and well ,drained with moderate to slow permea- bility. All exhibit a low load support characteristic which may require special structural 'design for the intended use. The Weld loam soil also exhibits a shrink-swell potential in the subsoil which may require special design for construction purposes. These soils should be evaluated by a competent. soil engineer to determine proper design and construction requirements for the individual sites. Soil descriptions for the other soil types found in the SE4 of section 18, Twp. 7N, Range 67W are included for your information. I did not comment on the characteristics of these soils for planned activity as it does not appear they will be involved.
