(414 4,70_)c— Sign re: Owner or Authorized Agent EXHIBIT 2005-2019 SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW(USR)QUESTIONNAIRE The following questions are to be answered and submitted as part of the USR application. If a question does not pertain in to your use, please respond with "not applicable", with an explanation as to why the question is not applicable. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property. The property consists of 93.882 acres+/-and is described as Lot"B"of RE-3507, being part of the North '%of Section 33, Township 2 North, Range 67 West of the 6111 P.M. The current use of the property is as agricultural grazing land and has situate upon it 3 oil &gas wells. The proposed use of the property is to erect 2 broadcast towers of approximately 1,180 feet in height with associated broadcast support buildings. The towers will be owned and used by Longmont Broadcasting, LLC for purposes of their own broadcast facilities as well as the leasing of broadcast sites (on the towers)for other users. The broadcast users include, but are not limited to: television, radio, private radio communications, emergency radio communications, cell phone sites, satellite send/receive equipment, and private signal relays. The advent of mandatory digital television beginning in 2006 creates additional need for the broadcast facilities. These uses are needed in this location due to the rapid growth in population in the Northern Colorado area, particularly the southwest portion of Weld County, including Erie, Dacono, Frederick, Firestone, Fort Lupton, Brighton, Berthoud, and Mead. Public, private and emergency uses will be available to users of the tower. The surrounding site will continue to be used as agricultural grazing land. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22(Comprehensive Plan). The proposed use of the property for commercial broadcast towers is allowed in the"A" Agricultural District through Use by Special Review(USR). Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located. The proposed use of the property for commercial broadcast towers is allowed in the"A" Agricultural District through Use by Special Review(USR). What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposed use of the property for commercial broadcast tower is allowed in the"A" Agricultural District through Use by Special Review(USR). Surrounding lands would not be materially impacted by this use. Surrounding properties are utilized for agricultural production and the adjacent parcel to the southwest already has situate upon it a broadcast tower similar to the ones proposed by this application. That particular tower includes relay sites for the Weld County Communications system used by Weld County Sheriffs Office, Weld County Ambulance, and other users of the emergency system. Within one mile of the property, other uses of surrounding properties are: ag grazing, ag production, rural residential, dairy, natural gas processing plant, rural water district facility&tanks, oil &gas well operations, and high density residential use(Frederick/Firestone/Dacono). See Exhibit X. Describe, in detail,the following: How many people will use this site? Personnel requirements on site are minimal for the operation and maintenance of the towers. There will be no public use or access to the site. The facility operates automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with personnel visits only intermittently to check facility operation. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? It is anticipated that one or two employees will visit the site 2 to 4 days per week for inspection, operation, and maintenance. During construction or if facilities are being repaired or upgraded, construction crews will visit the site as necessary, but this will be on a minimal and intermittent basis. What are the hours of operation? The broadcast sites on the towers are designed to operate on demand and on the basis of 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Operation is automatic and remote, thus no on-site operator is required full time. There will be no stated hours of operation as the facility is accessed on an as- needed basis with no public access. What type and how many structures will be erected (built) on this site? Please refer to the attached USR site plan details. Proposed construction consists of 2 broadcast towers with support operations buildings and associated utilities. After completion, each tower will be 1,180 feet in height, anchored in concrete at the base and secured with 3 guy wire cable"legs"extending up to 950'from the tower center. The tower base foundation creates a relatively small footprint of 20' x 20'. The first tower to be constructed will be the"east"tower with the"west"tower to be added within 5 years, or sooner as demand requires. Each tower will require construction of a small operations building to house the tower monitoring and operation equipment. Each building will be approximately 45' by 45' in size with gravel parking spaces. The building and parking area will be located to protect from ice falls where possible. Parking areas will be covered to protect vehicles and personnel from potential ice falls. Each tower site will provide for the construction of up to eight(8) small base sites for satellite receiving dishes. The satellite receiver dishes will be constructed near the center of the base of each tower at ground level with a height not to exceed 20 feet each. See Exhibits C & S. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site? None What kind (type,size,weight) of vehicles will access this site and how often? After construction is complete, the vehicles accessing the site will consist primarily of passenger vehicles(cars, pick-ups)for site employees 3-4 days per week, and an occasional on-site visit by larger trucks or vehicles for upgrading or maintenance purposes. Vehicle traffic to the site is minimal and should provide very little traffic impact to Weld County roads or surrounding properties. Who will provide fire protection to the site? The property lies within the boundaries of the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation). Water supply for the site(both domestic and landscape irrigation)will be provided by a water tap to be obtained from Central Weld County Water District. See Exhibit E. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed). The site is currently unimproved. The small number of on-site employees and visitors creates a very small demand for sewage disposal. The applicant proposes to install adequate size septic systems for each building and will make appropriate application for same to the Weld County Department of Health. The site size and proposed location of facilities is more than adequate for location and construction of necessary septic systems. If storage or warehousing is proposed,what type of items will be stored? No bulk storage or warehousing is proposed beyond the on-site equipment and operational supplies. There will be no retail uses on the site. There are no commercial goods to be inventoried and the proposed buildings will be adequate for the applicants minimal storage needs. Any hazardous materials will be properly stored and secured. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal. No landscaping is planned as there will be minimal disturbance to the existing landscape and ground cover. The is no practical way to screen a tower of over 1,000 feet in height, however the structures have such a minimal profile as to not create a major visual blockage. Buildings are all low profile and will be located well off the county road right-of-way so as not to create a structure requiring screening. Building colors will be neutral colors to blend with soil &vegetation on site. The chain link security fencing surrounding the tower structure and buildings as well as the tower guy anchors will not be screened, as the see-through nature of chain link provides better visual inspection for security purposes. The screening of the chain link fencing would create a much greater visual impact to the site than unscreened chain link. There may be a need to construct an earthen berm near the proposed satellite send/receive dishes in order to reduce terrestrial radio interference to those devices. If there is a need for the berms to be constructed, soil disturbance will be kept to a minimum and the surface of the site and berms will be reclaimed to compatible status(grass and ground cover to prevent erosion). Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity occurs. Dismantling of the towers on site with debris removed from the site is the only reclamation ever anticipated. This is intended to be a permanent installation; it is unlikely that the facility use will terminate. If use is terminated for any reason, applicant will agree to proper dismantling of the tower and equipment. See Exhibit W. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site. The site has adequate natural drainage. No changes to site drainage area anticipated. Any gravel surfaced interior roads will utilize roadside channels for drainage. Beyond that, the proposed small buildings and non-paved internal roads will not materially change or impact the current drainage and precipitation absorption, or create an erosion hazard. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin. Construction is to begin within 1 year of approval of the USR. Estimated completion time is approximately 180 days. The same timeline will apply to the proposed second tower, which construction timing is based on future need. The time from approval to commencement of construction is due to the lengthy lead time required to have the tower facility and equipment ordered and constructed prior to delivery to the site. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. Operations for the broadcast towers do not create waste beyond typical small office or small household volumes of trash which can easily be disposed of with a commercial refuse firm. ADDENDUM QUESTIONNAIRE Addressing Weld County Zoning Regulations, Commercial Towers- Sec. 23-4-810 Regulation is paraphrased in standard type. Response is in italics. Sec.234-810. Preferred Commercial Tower facilities. Antenna towers. The proposed uses for the towers on this site cannot be otherwise served by any other type of tower or facility. Sec.234-820. General requirement Antenna Towers are permitted by Special Use Review in the following zone districts: C, I, A and PUD. This property is in the "A"zoning district and application is being made by Use by Special Review. Accessory uses to a commercial tower shall not include offices, broadcast studios, long-term vehicle storage or other outdoor storage, or other uses not needed to send, receive or relay transmissions. No offices or studios are planned or proposed. Proposed facilities are only those which are necessary for the staffing and operation of the tower facility. Radial Spacing. Antenna towers over seventy (70)feet high must be located at least one thousand (1,000)feet from other antenna towers over seventy(70)feet high that are capable of supporting Commercial Tower facilities. Closer spacing between towers may be granted through the Special Use Review process. This radial spacing requirement does not apply to facilities located at designated antenna farms. This proposal is the equivalent of an antenna farm in that a total of 2 new towers are planned(over time) and they will be located adjacent to an existing tower of essentially equivalent appearance and use. The proposed towers are of the latest technology, design, and engineering and will exceed the standard of the existing, adjacent tower. Applicant seeks approval of tower design, location, &setbacks set forth on the USR plat. The radial spacing of the towers will meet or exceed the stated 1,000 foot requirement See Exhibit C. In addition to meeting the Special Use Review standards set forth in article 11, Division 5 of this Chapter, the applicant shall submit documentation addressing the following standards: 1. Existing or approved towers cannot accommodate the telecommunications equipment planned for the proposed tower. The existing tower adjacent to the site is estimated to be 300%of planned antenna capacity. The population growth in Northern Colorado and the federally mandated switch to digital television more than justifies the additional capacity of the proposed towers. An analysis of the technical and loading capacities of the existing tower are included in this application to demonstrate the further need for additional tower structures. See Exhibit M. 2. The tower shall not constitute a hazard to aircraft. FAA approval letter included in application. See Exhibit N. 3. The tower shall be placed on the property to contain on site all ice-fall or debris from tower failure. Any ice fall is contained fully on the property, and the tower engineering is such that any debris from unlikely tower failure would be contained on site. The property is over 93 acres in size and is more than adequate to contain and ice or debris fall on site. 4. The proposed tower shall provide for shared capacity, if technically practicable. The proposed towers will provide for shared capacity and leasing of sites on the tower up to the maximum allowed under applicable regulations. The attached proposal for the facility provided by ERI contains the design which accommodates numerous shared users,potential cell phone sites, and expansion of users as necessary. See also the attached letter regarding shared capacity. See Exhibit O. 5. The tower shall have the least practicable adverse visual impact on the environment. While it is impossible to "hide"a tower of over 1,000 feet in height, the visual impact is minimized by the very small profile of the tower itself (see photo-syms attached). Support buildings are low profile. Security fencing is"see-through"chain link to minimize visual impact. See attached photo-syms of the project to help illustrate the minimal visual impact. See Exhibit P. 6. The proposed tower shall not emit radiation that will adversely affect human health. No studies have proven adverse health effects from broadcast towers of this type when constructed and operated within allowable regulatory guidelines. The strongest signals are emitted from the very top most sections of the tower, which are farthest from any persons in the area. FCC requires all applicants for such broadcast facilities to meet the current ANSI standards for broadcast non-ionizing radiation. Attached is a report containing the requirements set forth by FCC that must be met before FCC will issue a construction permit. The applicant has been granted the FCC permit, thus the tower construction proposal has satisfied the FCC regulations in regard to non-ionizing radiation. See Exhibit Q. 7. The proposed tower shall be the minimum height needed to accommodate the antenna. The proposed height is essentially similar to the existing tower on adjacent property. This is the minimum practical height to accommodate the type of broadcast equipment and activities required. The tower height is necessary to reach the broadcast area as shown in the attached documentation coverage map(s). See Exhibit T. 8. The proposed tower shall comply with all applicable federal and state regulations. FAA and FCC approvals are included as a part of the application. See Exhibits N&R. 9. The design of the proposed tower shall insure structural integrity. The tower is designed to FCC standards for wind loading and ice accumulation. The tower is designed to fold and collapse in the event of a catastrophic failure. The proposed tower will be of the most recent, modern design which is specifically engineered for maximum structural integrity. The design is described in the ERI documents attached. See Exhibit S. 10. The proposed tower shall have adequate measures to discourage unauthorized climbing and to insure the security thereof. There will be adequate guy wires to maintain the structural integrity of the towers. All buildings, the tower bases, and guy wire anchor structures will be secured with tall chain link security fences which remain locked at all times. 11. All reasonably possible sites for the tower have been considered, and the proposed site is the most appropriate, available site from a land use perspective. The elevation, topography, and location to potential signal recipients make this the best location for these towers. The coverage area is shown in the attached coverage map(s). Co-location of these towers adjacent to the existing tower will provide for less visual and land impact than other sites while providing the required coverage by potential users of the tower. See Exhibit T. 12. The proposed tower shall not adversely impact wildlife. No changes to the site will materially impact wildlife. The tower has no moving parts or operations which will materially adversely impact birds, bats, or terrestrial wildlife. No fencing or structure is proposed that would interfere with migration or wildlife habitat. A.Antenna Tower and Equipment Setbacks. From property lines of properties in the E, R, PUD, A: one hundred percent(100%) of tower height but not less than minimum building setbacks in the underlying zoning district. This application proposes a setback of slightly less than 100%of tower height. The proposal is for 2 towers co-located next to an existing tower, essentially creating a tower farm.. All similar modern guyed antenna towers are designed to fold and collapse in the event of catastrophic failure, thus they would not fall over in a linear manner like a "stick." The careful design of these structures combined with the proposed setbacks should provide more than adequate setbacks to accommodate ice falls, falling debris, or even a catastrophic failure. The applicant requests approval of the location and setbacks as shown on the USR plat. See Exhibits C& V. 4. Guy wires and equipment buildings and cabinets. Minimum setbacks for guy wires and equipment buildings and cabinets are the same as minimum building setbacks in the underlying zoning district. Structures, cabinets, and guy wire bases will all meet minimum setbacks for the "A" zoning district. B. Equipment Design. Antenna towers must not be artificially lighted unless required by the FAA or other state or federal agency. If safety lighting is required, the use of red beacons is preferred to flashing strobe lights. Security lighting on the site may be mounted up to twenty (20) feet high and must be directed toward the ground to reduce light pollution, prevent offsite light spillage and avoid illuminating the tower. Safety and security lighting must meet all FAA or other requirements. The tower will be painted per FAA regulations and will utilize red lights for safety clearance. Unlike the existing tower on the adjacent site, these towers will not utilize strobe flashing lights, thus helping to reduce nighttime visual impact. 4. Equipment buildings must be compatible with the architectural style of the surrounding building environment with consideration given to exterior materials, roof form, scale, mass, color. Buildings will be constructed within the area designated on the USR plat, and are planned to be low profile and security fenced. Building colors will be neutral colors which blend with the surrounding soil& vegetative cover. As shown on the plat, the buildings are designed to be expanded as necessary to accommodate future co-location of additional broadcast tenants. See Exhibit C. 5. The maximum permissible noise level shall adhere to the maximum permissible noise levels allowed in the underlying Zone district as delineated in Section 25-12-102, C.R.S., as provided by the Department of Public Health and Environment. Equipment must not generate noise that can be heard beyond the site. However, this does not apply to generators used in emergency situations where the regular power supply for a facility is temporarily interrupted. It also does not apply to air conditioners or noise made during regular maintenance and upkeep of the facility and site. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2002-9) The applicant will comply with all regulations regarding noise set forth in the Weld County code. Sec.234-840. Base or accessory site design. A. Screening and landscaping appropriate to the context of the site and in harmony with the character of the surrounding environment is required when any part of the facility is visible from public rights-of-way or adjacent properties. All structures are either low profile or have a small visual profile(width). While visible from the county road right-of-way, the structures are located a minimum of 200 feet from county ROW and have less visual impact than the existing oil&gas facilities on the site. No screening landscaping is proposed due to the profiles and distance to county road ROW. The chain link security fence is a see-through fencing that provides security while allowing a visual survey of the facility for security purposes. If screening is added to the chain link, the visual impact is much greater from county road ROW than unscreened, see-through chain link, thus no screening is proposed. B. Existing vegetation and grades on the site should be improved or preserved to the extent possible. Minimal disturbance of the surface will occur during construction. Existing vegetation will be maintained or improved to minimize erosion hazard. Noxious weeds will be controlled on the site. Post construction, the disturbed areas will be reclaimed to agricultural grazing status and will continue to be used for grazing purposes. C. Signage at the site is limited to nonilluminated warning and equipment identification signs. The only proposed signage is nonilluminated warning, emergency contacts, equipment designation signs, and federally required non-illuminated signage. D. Commercial Tower facilities, except those in the C and I zones, must not include manned offices, long term vehicle storage or other outdoor storage, or other uses not needed to send, receive or relay transmissions. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2002-9). Agreed. The facility is not manned, but will be operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The only equipment storage proposed will be inside the security fenced areas and will be limited to the time and equipment needs required to operate the ongoing broadcast send and receive operations. Sec.234-850. Co-location on Antenna Towers. A. Commercial Tower providers must not exclude other providers from co-locating on the same tower when co-location is structurally, technically or otherwise possible. Other users are included in the proposal and users will be actively sought at fair market rates. The towers are designed specifically for co-location of additional providers. Please see letter attached. See Exhibit O. B. In addition to equipment proposed for the applicant's use, proposed antenna towers (excepting concealed antennas)and sites must be designed to accommodate co-location of additional Commercial Tower providers. Other users are included in the proposal and users will be actively sought at fair market rates. The towers are designed specifically for co-location of additional providers. Please see letter attached. See Exhibit O. A. Removal of abandoned Commercial Towers shall be addressed in all lease agreements and shall specifically address the duties and obligations of the lessee and its assigns as well as the property owner regarding the removal of Commercial Towers deemed by the County to be abandoned. Co-locations will be on the existing towers, so termination, abandonment, or non-use of a co-located facility will not involve removal of a tower, only the tenant's broadcast equipment mounted on the tower. Lease agreements will address equipment removal with each individual tenant. Please see letter attached. See Exhibit W. B. The applicant or owner shall submit an improvements agreement agreeing to remove the improvements as shown in the application, plans, plat and other supporting documents. The agreement shall be made in conformance with the County policy on collateral for improvements. The agreement shall be approved by the Board of County Commissioners prior to commencement of operations, as applicable. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2002-9) Applicant will provide appropriate collateral agreements after consultation with WCDPS staff and Weld County Attorney to determine the correct form and content Sec. 23-4-870. Application. A. Application Contents.

The ERI tower design is a guyed structure and has six guy anchor location points,with two in line in each of three directions. These guys support a 7 foot face width triangular steel tower mast. Due to the slenderness of the guyed tower mast in relation to the towers height and the multiple guy anchor locations the mode of collapse for this structure is in a folding configuration with the main portion extending out 25%to 50%of the tower height. Any distance beyond this will be quite unusual. For the outer limits of an unusual collapse condition I still do not expect any portion of the tower mast or other significant debris to extend beyond 70%of the tower height,or in other words debris of any significance • will remain within the guying radius of this structure. Enclosed is a sketch which has a basic representation of the guyed tower collapse mode described. Should you have any additional questions or comments please let me know. \iltt �� \\ ,•......,FA Sincerely, `�\ ,1 R.dphe i J 1 2 • fir; Emest R.Jones, P.E. =t. \\\� 30 ERI Structural Division Manager pt. t !/IINI End: E-1 Drawing, 3 3v -L) Y 1904-too 11BBd e.eas.8s e 1124.211 11471.00.11 I .I .., !IL: :6I ^ e . 1 ' — - 1 1241.0! 4 V 4 cc ., 4.)11 4 t MS C = 1u g :$ �z n ` r_ • ' 01.011 �> em u 70. _ .81_011 c X — - iS T 16saerNn nrrlswn °5 C .81_0.

Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby determined that the structure would not be a hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s) is(are) met: As a condition to this, Determination, the structure should be marked and/or lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/746.0-1 AC70/7460-1K, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, paint/red lights Chapters 3 (Marked) ,4, S (Red) , &12. It is required that the enclosed FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be completed and returned tothis office any time the project is abandoned Or: -X` At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part I) _X Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part II) As a result of this structure being critical to flight safety, it is required that the FAA be kept appraised as to the statue of the project. Failure to respond to periodic FAA inquiries could invalidate this determination. See attachment for additional condition(s) or information. This determination expires on 3/21/2006 unless: (a). extended, revised or terminated /by the issuing office. (b) the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed , as required by the FCC, within 6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on Page 1 Exhibit N ep . zt . CUU4 flLJAM (.Mb INC NO. !b/4 V. ti the date presc. ,ed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application. NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST HE POSTMARKED OR DELIVERED TO THIS OFFICE AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. This determination is subject to review if an interested party files a petition on or before 10/21/2004. In the event petition for review is filed, it must contain a full statement of the basis upon which it is made and be submitted in triplicate to the Manager. Airspace and Rules Branch - ATO-R, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave. Rm. 423, Washington, D.C. 20591. This determination becomes final on 10/31/2004 unless a petition is timely filed. In which case, this determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the grant of any review. This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights, frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc. , which may be used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the FAA. This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe -and efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft and -does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or regulation of. any Federal, State, or local government body. This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact on all existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed structures. The study disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect on air navigation. An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA during the study (if any) , and the basis for the FAA's decision in this matter can be found on the following page(s) . A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications Commission if the structure is subject to their licensing authority. If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office at (425)227-2520. On any future correspondence concerning this matter, please refer to Aeronautical Study Number 2004--ANM-47-OE.

LOCATION OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed structures will be located approximately 8 .6 nautical miles northeast of the Erie Municipal Tri-County Airport, Erie Colorado. 2. OBSTRUCTION STANDARDS EXCEEDED The proposed structures are identified as an obstruction under the standards of Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 77, as follows: Section 77.23 (a) (5).: The surface of a takeoff and landing area of an airport or any imaginary surface established under 77.25, 77.28, or 77.29. Exceeds by 680 and 659 feet, respectively. 3. EFFECT ON AERONAUTICAL OPERATIONS a. The impact on arrival, departure, and en route procedures for aircraft operating under visual flight rules (VFR) follows: Adverse Impact- The proposed antennas would exceed the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) , Part 77 Horizontal Surface by 680 and 659 feet . However, there are already two existing structures in the vicinity at the same height above sea level. The impact of the proposed antenna towers can be mitigated with obstruction marking and lighting. b. The impact on arrival, departure, and en route procedures for aircraft operating under instrument flight rules (IFR) follows: None. c. The impact on all-existing public-use airports and aeronautical facilities follows: None. d. The impact on all planned public-use airports and aeronautical facilities follow; None. e.

We are designing our towers from a structural and technical perspective to accommodate co-location with other providers of communication services to the surrounding communities. In fact, we believe for our tower project to be commercially viable, we must attract a reasonable number of new and existing providers. We hope that we could provide tower space for the facilities of some combination of commercial, municipal, or other governmental entity. We will then %urk diligently to finalize commercially reasonable lease agreements with the co-located service providers and within our structural and technical design criteria. Additionally, once we have our necessary approvals and if it's appropriate, we would appreciate the County's making this information available to any service providers looking for tower locations. If you have any question regarding our plans, please contact me at 303-885-6116, or our chief engineer Dirk Freeman at 303-940-4886. Sincerely, /W' 1O �M W•icgiVVVV William A.

December 7,2001 Dirk Freeman KDEN-Blair Media PO Box 753 Wheat Ridge, CO 80034 TX: 303.940.4886 FAX: 303.940.1229 e-mail:Blairmedia@aol.com Re: Structural Analysis Frederick,CO site(Weld County) 1161' Guyed Tower Analysis Project#09043 Executive Summary This analysis was performed by ERI to determine the present structure's capability to meet the requirements of the ANSI/TIA/EIA-RS 222-F structural design standard for steel antenna towers and antenna supporting structures with the addition of antennas as specified by the customer. This tower was analyzed under three(3) loading configurations; fast,with the current existing loads only; second,with the ERI 6 Bay FM Panel and corresponding transmission line at 1000' to 1060' removed and replaced with the proposed Dielectric TFU-28DSC-R P210 fed by a 4" rigid transmission line; and third,with the ERI 6 Bay FM Panel and corresponding transmission line at 1000' to 1060' removed and replaced with the proposed Dielectric TFU-26DSC-R P210 fed by a 6"rigid transmission line. This report details the tower history, the present design code history and application, and the impact of the wind speed and antennas on the structure. The ERI analysis fmds: 1. Under all three loading configurations,the tower will not meet the minimum requirements of the ANSI/TIA/EIA-RS Standard 222-F for the prescribed design wind speed of 85 mph and 74 mph concurrent with 1/2"of radial ice. However, it should be noted the structure's overall condition is improved with the 6 Bay ERI Panel FM,currently located at 1000' to 1060', removed and replaced with either proposed TV antenna as specified by the customer. Exhibit M 2. According to ERI's records, this structure has never been compliant to full design wind speed requirements of the ANSI/TIA/EIA-RS design standards. The maximum rating this structure has achieved is a 70 mph design wind speed without consideration to ice. 3. Intensive reinforcement is required for the structure to be brought up to current industry standards with the analyzed loading considered(see `Recommendations'). If the tower is to maintain all antenna loading in accordance with current industry standards, ERI recommends a new structure be considered for economic reasons associated with required reinforcement costs. Authority and Purpose As authorized by William Vanderpole,of Blair Media, in a purchase order signed October 23, 2001, a structural analysis was performed to investigate the adequacy of an 1161' guyed tower in Frederick, Colorado, to support additional antenna loading. J- Method of Analysis The analysis was performed using ERI Tower,a computer operation which investigates the structure using both a linear and non-linear(P-delta)analysis. Only this technique determines the true forces, displacements, and second order effects in the structure. Unlike most other analysis programs,which assume the tower to be a continuous beam-column on non-linear elastic supports,the ERI Tower program properly investigates all internal forces as they apply to each individual member of the structure. The tower was analyzed considering wind directions of 180 degrees(or"normal"), 60 degrees, and 90 degrees to a tower face,and considering appurtenance and gravity loads for the design wind velocity and when considering the additional effects of radial ice where appropriate. Also,wind escalation and wind thrust on the tower and appurtenances were considered. The ERI Tower program is licensed and currently used by several major tower manufacturers and consulting engineers. More information concerning this program and its users can be found at: www.c-conceptsinc.com We have analyzed this tower based upon the following information: 1. KYOU Antenna Tower/Frederick, Colorado/Original Antenna Configuration tower drawing dated 1988. 2. Redwine-Reizian Incorporated evaluation report for this structure dated May 10, 1994. 3. Related ERI analyzes and evaluation reports dated from 1994 to 1998 (SP 209;SP 359;281/2059;285/1223;292/4645;292/4646;1080/136). 4. Written and Oral communication with Dirk Freeman of Blair Media. 5. Published antenna design data. Loads and Stresses The analysis was performed using the basic wind speed of 85 mph and 74 mph concurrent with 1/2"of radial ice. The loads were calculated and applied in accordance with the provisions of the ANSI/TIA/EIA Standard 222-F, Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures, effective March 29, 1996 to present date. Historic Review and Design Criteria According to our records,the tower was originally manufactured by Vector Structural Incorporated in 1988. The accepted design standard at that time was the ANSUEIA Standard 222-D,effective for June of 1987 to February of 1991. From 1994 to 1998, ERI conducted several evaluations of this structure. During this time period, ERI recommended/designed leg member reinforcement,transmission line brackets,one additional top guy level, and one additional guy anchor to accommodate the new guy level in order to improve the structure to a rating of 70 mph basic wind speed without ice. According to ERI's records, this structure has never been compliant to full design wind speed requirements of the ANSI TIA/EIA-RS design standards. The maximum rating this structure has achieved(after previous reinforcement)is a 70 mph design wind speed without consideration to ice. It remains ERI's position to not accept or recommend anything less than a structure complying with at least the minimum rating specified by the current version of the ANSUEIA/TIA Standard 222-F,and to any local and/or state code requirements. The current EIA/TIA-222-F standard employs a basic wind speed to determine the design forces. It is important to understand the difference between the forces generated by a gust wind speed and the forces generated by the designated basic design wind speed or"fastest mile"wind speed. A gust wind speed is generally reported by the weather service after a severe storm. By definition it is the maximum wind velocity as a result of a three second or very short duration of wind as measured 10 meters or 33 feet above ground level. The basic or"fastest mile"wind speed is used to determine the design forces for a tower and differs greatly from a gust wind. The fastest mile wind is the average wind velocity as measured 33 feet above ground level for a duration of the time required for a particle of air to travel one mile at the specified average velocity. As an example, a 60 mph"fastest mile"wind speed would be the average wind velocity for a 60 second duration. A 60 mph"fastest mile"wind speed would typically include gust winds of much greater velocity. The resulting design forces created by each type of wind are also much different. The resulting design force created by a 70 mph basic or"fastest mile"wind velocity is approximately 1.4 times greater than the force created by a 70 mph gust wind. The typical probability of a"fastest mile" wind speed used for the design in the current standard is 1 in 50 years. Considering these differences it is easier to understand why a tower designed to meet a specified fastest mile wind will withstand much faster reported gust wind speeds. And conversely, why an analysis may indicate an over stressed condition may exist at a design wind speed which is less than a reported gust wind speed which the tower has successfully withstood. Assumptions This analysis is based upon the theoretical capacity of the structure. It is not a condition assessment of the tower. In offering this report ERI assumes: 1. Customer supplied information is accurate and correct. The Discrete(appurtenant) Tower Loads are shown on the following pages. Antenna and appurtenance loading is also portrayed on drawing E-1. These should be checked for accuracy and any corrections communicated to ERI. 2. Existing transmission lines are distributed on the tower as portrayed on drawing E-7. These should be checked for accuracy and any corrections communicated to ERI. 3. In absence of confirmed values from original tower manufacturer, leg member steel was analyzed at minimum yield strengths (Fy)of 50 ksi. All other steel was analyzed at minimum yield strengths of 36 ksi. 4. There has been no damage or modifications to the original design and materials either by man or nature, either gradual or sudden, except where may be disclosed elsewhere in this report.

Tower foundations were not analyzed due to lack of information. Recommendations 1. Considering the severity of the tower stresses, if the tower is to maintain all antenna loading in accordance with current industry standards, ERI recommends a new structure be considered for economic reasons associated with required reinforcement costs. Though no tower loading configuration meets current industry standard requirements, with the 6 Bay ERI Panel FM, currently located at 1000' to 1060',removed and replaced with either proposed TV antenna as specified by the customer,the structures overall condition is improved. 2. Overstressed guy levels can be replaced with properly sized guying cable and attachment hardware. 3. Overstressed tower leg members may be reinforced by the applications of welded and/or bolted split pipe sections or angle members to increase their effective cross-sectional area,or by adding intermittent horizontal members to reduce their un-braced length. 4. Overstressed horizontal and diagonal inner members could be reinforced by replacing the member or by adding additional redundant bracing to reduce their un-braced length. Accurate measurements on members would be necessary. 5. Overstressed connection bolts may be replaced with a higher strength bolts and/or connections welded. 6. Original tower foundation drawings should be located, if possible, to properly analyze capacities. 7. Re-analysis of the structure considering the additional wind loading of any reinforcing members should be performed prior to installation of the new materials. 8. All structural changes made to the tower should be performed by professionally trained individuals in tower erection and post-erection modifications. 9. The ANSI/TIA/EIA-222-F standard recommends owners of guyed towers perform initial and periodic tower inspections and maintenance to assure safety and to extend the tower's service life. Major inspections should be performed at a minimum of every three years by authorized personnel experienced in climbing and tower adjustments. A complete list of the recommended maintenance and inspection procedure is contained in Annex E of the ANSI/TIA/EIA-222-F standard. Copies of the complete standard may be obtained from Global Engineering Documents, 1-800-854-7179.

Ruedlinger Structural Engineer Structural Division January 25, 2002 Dirk Freeman KDEN-Blair Media PO Box 753 Wheat Ridge, CO 80034 TX: 303.940.4886 FAX: 303.940.1229 e-mail:Blairmedia@n,aol.com Re: Structural Analysis—Re-run Frederick, CO site(Weld County) 1161' Guyed Tower Analysis Project#09043 Executive Summary This re-analysis was performed by ERI to determine the present structure's capability to meet the requirements of the ANSUTIA/EIA-RS 222-F structural design standard for steel antenna towers and antenna supporting structures with loading modifications as specified by the customer. This tower was analyzed under a fourth proposed loading configuration(Proposed Loading Configuration 4)which included all existing tower loads except for the ERI 6-Bay FM and transmission feed at 1,000' to 1,060' which was replaced with a low-power ALP 12L2 HSNR 29 UHF antenna fed by a 3"transmission line. This report details the tower history, the present design code history and application, and the impact of the wind speed and antennas on the structure. The ERI analysis finds: 1. With the analyzed loading in Proposed Loading Configuration 4,the tower will not meet the minimum requirements of the ANSUTIA/EIA-RS Standard 222-F for the prescribed design wind speed of 85 mph and 74 mph concurrent with 1/2"of radial ice. 2. Though the structure will not meet full requirements of the current ANSUTIA/EIA- RS Standard 222-F, the structure's overall condition is improved with the loading changes listed above. Authority and Purpose As authorized by William Vanderpole, of Blair Media, in a purchase order signed October 23, 2001, a structural analysis was performed to investigate the adequacy of an 1161' guyed tower in Frederick, Colorado,to support specified loading. Method of Analysis Refer to previous report(#09043). Loads and Stresses The analysis was performed using the basic wind speed of 85 mph and 74 mph concurrent with 1/2"of radial ice. The loads were calculated and applied in accordance with the provisions of the ANSI/TIA/EIA Standard 222-F, Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures, effective March 29, 1996 to present date. Historic Review and Design Criteria Refer to previous report(#09043). Assumptions Refer to previous report(#09043). Analyzed Tower Loading Conditions Investigated 1.

Three (3) sections contain overstressed horizontal connection bolts. 8. Tower foundations were not analyzed due to lack of information. Proposed Loadine Configuration 4 1. Four(4)guy levels are overstressed. 2. Forty-eight(48)sections contain overstressed leg members. 3. Six(6) sections contain overstressed horizontal inner members. 4. Sixteen(16) sections contain overstressed diagonal inner members. 5. Two (2) sections contain overstressed leg connection bolts. 6. Four(4) sections contain overstressed diagonal inner member connection bolts. 7. Two(2) sections contained overstressed horizontal connection bolts. 8. Tower foundations were not analyzed due to lack of information. Recommendations 1. With the specified loads removed for Proposed Loading Configuration 4,the tower will not meet the minimum requirements of the ANSI/TIA/EIA-RS Standard 222-F for the prescribed design wind speed of 85 mph and 74 mph concurrent with 1/2"of radial ice. Tremendous reinforcement costs would be incurred to bring this tower into full compliance with current industry standards. 2. Though the structure will not meet full requirements of the current ANSI/TIA/EIA-RS Standard 222-F,the structure's overall condition is improved with the loading changes specified for this loading configuration(Proposed Loading Configuration 4). 3. Overstressed guy levels can be replaced with properly sized guying cable and attachment hardware. 4. Overstressed tower leg members may be reinforced by the applications of welded and/or bolted split pipe sections or angle members to increase their effective cross-sectional area,or by adding intermittent horizontal members to reduce their un-braced length. 5. Overstressed horizontal and diagonal inner members could be reinforced by replacing the member or by adding additional redundant bracing to reduce their un-braced length. Accurate measurements on members would be necessary. 6. Overstressed connection bolts may be replaced with a higher strength bolts and/or connections welded. 7. Original tower foundation drawings should be located, if possible,to properly analyze capacities. 8. Re-analysis of the structure considering the additional wind loading of any reinforcing members should be performed prior to installation of the new materials. 9. All structural changes made to the tower should be performed by professionally trained individuals in tower erection and post-erection modifications. 10. The ANSI/TIA/EIA-222-F standard recommends owners of guyed towers perform initial and periodic tower inspections and maintenance to assure safety and to extend the tower's service life. Major inspections should be performed at a minimum of every three years by authorized personnel experienced in climbing and tower adjustments. A complete list of the recommended maintenance and inspection procedure is contained in Annex E of the ANSUTIA/EIA-222-F standard. Copies of the complete standard may be obtained from Global Engineering Documents, 1-800-854-7179.

Design Notes: HIP PE sealed documents do not include nor imply any special, local authority mandated fabrication inspection or site foundation or tower erection inspection responsibilities. Any special inspection requirements must be specified at the time of work authorization and may necessitate additional costs. Special inspection of fabricated material can not be accomplished with the same degree of accuracy after galvanization and often will not be accepted by the requesting authority. It is the purchaser's responsibility to notify ERI of any stipulations in addition to the ANSI/TIA/EIA-222-F design standard which may be required by state or local authorities prior to the start of the contracted services. Failure to make timely notification may necessitate additional charges if supplemental services are requested or the quoted design is changed in order to satisfy state or local jurisdiction requirements. The foundation design for the above described quote is based upon the"Standard Foundation"as defined in Section 7 of the TIA/EIA-222-F Standard for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures. This definition includes,"Standard Foundations and Anchors-Structures designed to support the specified loads defined in Section 2 (of this standard)for Normal Soil conditions as defined in 7.1.3 and modified below. Pile construction, roof installations, foundations or anchors designed for submerged soil conditions, saturated or submerged soils(below the water table or perched water level), rock, noncohesive soils(sands and sandy clays), etc., are not to be considered as standard." This standard further states, "Standard foundations and anchors may be used for bidding purposes and for construction when actual soil parameters equal or exceed Normal Soil parameters." When standard foundations and anchors are utilized for final design, it shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to verify by geotechnical investigation that actual site soil parameters equal or exceed Normal Soil parameters. If the purchaser elects to accept the Normal Soil foundation for construction, he accepts the responsibility and liability for the adequacy of the subsurface soil conditions. dr—J Cat ELECTRONICS RESEARCH, INC. Description Price Qty Extend EIA"Normal Soil"is defined as, "a cohesive soil(clays and clayey sands)with an allowable net vertical bearing capacity of 4000 psf and an allowable net horizontal pressure of 400 psf/ft to a maximum of 4000 psf. Uplift forces shall be resisted by the foundation weight plus the weight of earth enclosed within an inverted pyramid or cone whose sides form an angle of 30°with vertical above the foundation. Earth shall be considered to weigh 100 pcf and concrete 150 pcf. Straight shaft drilled piers shall have an ultimate skin friction of 200 psf/ft to a maximum of 1000 psf." ERI strongly recommends a geotechnical investigation be performed prior to final design to verify the adequacy of these soil conditions.

JONES -- CORPORATION STATEMENT OF JOHN E. HIDLE, P.E. IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT KDEN(TV) - LONGMONT, COLORADO TV - CH. 25 - 2200 kW -495.0 m HAAT Prepared for: Longmont Channel 25, Inc. I am a Consulting Engineer, an employee in the firm of Carl T. Jones Corporation, with offices located in Springfield, Virginia. My education and experience are a matter of record with the Federal Communications Commission. I am a registered Professional Engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Registration No. 7418, and in the State of New York, Registration No. 63418. GENERAL This office has been authorized by Longmont Channel 25, Inc., licensee of KDEN(TV), channel 25, Longmont, Colorado, to prepare this statement, FCC Form 301, Sections III and III-C, and the associated exhibits in support of an application for construction permit for modification of KDEN(TV)'s licensed transmission facility. It is proposed herein to re-locate KDEN(TV)'s transmission facilities to a new tower support structure to be located at 40•.5' 57" North latitude, 104•.53' 48"West longitude. The FAA has been properly notified and the licensee will dutifully register the proposed structure with the Commission upon receipt of a determination of no hazard to air navigation. This application seeks to co-locate KDEN(TV) with the facilities of KDEN-DT as is proposed in a separate application for modification of construction permit BPCDT-19991018AAS. The re-location of KDEN(TV), and KDEN-DT, is necessary because the licensed and CP site is leased, and can not be sufficiently altered to accommodate KDEN-DT. Carl T. Jones Corporation Exhibit 7901 Yam wood Court, Springfield, Virginia 22153-2899 (703) 569-7704 Fax: (703) 569-6417 Q • STATEMENT OF JOHN E. HIDLE, P.E. KDEN(TV) - LONGMONT, COLORADO PAGE 2 PROPOSED DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA The applicant proposes to relocate KDEN(TV)'s existing licensed antenna, a Dielectric Model TFU-33JSC-R (S), to the new support structure. It is intended to install KDEN's existing antenna on the new tower structure below the KDEN-DT antenna, which is to be top-mounted. The manufacturer's horizontal plane azimuth directional radiation pattern is shown in exhibit 2. The manufacturer's vertical plane elevation radiation pattern, illustrating the proposed antenna's radiation characteristics above and below the horizontal plane, is shown in exhibits 3 and 4. A vertical plan antenna sketch is shown in exhibit 1. PREDICTED COVERAGE CONTOURS The predicted coverage contours were calculated in accordance with the method described in Section 73.684 of the Rules, utilizing the appropriate F(50,50) propagation curves (47 CFR Section 73.699, Figure 9), power, and antenna height above average terrain as determined for each profile radial. The average terrain on the eight cardinal radials from 3 kilometers to 16 kilometers from the site,was determined using the National Geophysical Data Center Thirty Second Point Database (TPG-0050) as prescribed in the FCC Rules. The antenna site elevation and coordinates were determined from data provided by a licensed surveyor. Exhibit 5 contains the predicted Grade B (64 dBu) contour, the predicted Grade A (74 dBu) contour and the principal community (80 dBu) contour. It is readily apparent that the 80 dBu contour completely encompasses the principal community of license, Longmont, Colorado. Carl T. Jones Corporation 7901 Yarnwood Court, Springfield, Virginia 22153-2899 (703) 569-7704 Fax: (703) 569-6417 .... STATEMENT OF JOHN E. HIDLE, P.E. KDEN(TV) - LONGMONT, COLORADO PAGE 3 ALLOCATION CONSIDERATIONS NTSC Allocation Considerations An allocation study was performed to ensure that the proposed transmitter site complies with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements of Section 73.610. The study revealed that the proposed site satisfies the minimum distance spacing requirements to all pertinent authorized NTSC facilities. DTV Allocation Considerations A study was performed to determine if the proposed relocation of KDEN(TV) is predicted to cause any level of new prohibited interference to DTV stations, expansion construction permits or DTV allotments. Results of the FCC program "tv-process" indicate that the instant proposal to relocate KDEN(TV) is predicted to cause no unacceptable level of new interference to the populations served by any DTV station, expansion construction permit or allotment. Class A Television Allocation Considerations As required in Section 73.613 of the FCC's Rules, a study of interference contour overlap was considered, based on the proposed relocated KDEN(TV) facility, to establish compliance with the protection requirements contained therein. The study results indicate that no prohibited contour overlap exists with any LPN stations which have obtained Class A Status. Carl T. Jones Corporation 7901 Yamwood Court, Springfield, Virginia 22153-2899 (703) 569-7704 Fax: (703) 569-6417 _.-. STATEMENT OF JOHN E. HIDLE, P.E. KDEN(TV) - LONGMONT, COLORADO PAGE 4 Table Mountain Radio Receiving Zone Section 73.1030(b) of the Commission's Rules requires all applicants to protect the area therein designated from potentially harmful interference. The modifications proposed herein were evaluated to determine compliance with those requirements. The predicted signal strength from any proposed facility operating in the 470 MHz to 890 MHz band should not exceed a field value of 30 millivolts per meter within its authorized bandwidth. As shown in exhibit 6 the Table Mountain Radio Receiving Zone is located entirely outside the predicted KDEN(TV) 30 mV/m (89.5 dBu) signal strength contour. BLANKETING AND INTERMODULATION INTERFERENCE A number of broadcast and non-broadcast facilities are located within 10 km of the proposed KDEN(TV) transmitter/antenna site. The applicant recognizes its responsibility to remedy complaints of interference created by this proposal in accordance with applicable Rules. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS RADIO FREQUENCY IMPACT Effective October 15, 1997 the FCC adopted new guidelines and procedures for evaluating environmental effects of radio frequency (RF) emissions. The guidelines are generally based on recommendations by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Carl T. Jones Corporation 7901 Yamwood Court, Springfield, Virginia 22153-2899 (703) 569-7704 Fax: (703) 569-6417 STATEMENT OF JOHN E. HIDLE, P.E. KDEN(TV) - LONGMONT, COLORADO PAGE 5 Measurements (NCRP) in NCRP Report No. 86 (19861 and by the American National Standards Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, LLC (IEEE) in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (IEEE C95.1-1991). The guidelines establish a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) level for occupational or "controlled" situations that apply in cases that affect the general public. The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology's technical bulletin No. 65 entitled, "Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields" (DA 04-319, February 6, 2004), provides assistance in the determination of whether FCC-regulated transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply with guideline limits for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields as adopted by the Commission in 1996. Bulletin No. 65 provides the technical data required to evaluate compliance with the FCC's policies and guidelines. The FCC's Maximum Permitted Exposure (MPE) level for "uncontrolled" environments is 0.2 milliwatts per centimeter squared(mW/cm2)when applied to broadcast facilities operating between 30 MHz and 300 MHz, and for broadcast facilities operating between 300 MHZ and 1500 MHz, primarily UHF TV stations, is derived from the formula, (frequency/1500). The MPE level for "controlled" environments is 1.0 milliwatts per centimeter squared (mW/cm2) for operations between 30 MHz and 300 MHz, and for broadcast stations operating between 300 MHz and 1500 MHz is derived from the formula, (frequency/300). The predicted emissions of KDEN(TV) must be considered, along with the predicted emissions from other proposed stations at the site. For KDEN(TV), which Carl T. Jones Corporation 7901 Yarnwood Court, Springfield, Virginia 22153-2899 (703) 569-7704 Fax: (703) 569-6417 STATEMENT OF JOHN E. HIDLE, P.E. KDEN(TV) - LONGMONT, COLORADO PAGE 6 operates on television Channel 25 (536-542 MHz), the MPE is 0.359 milliwatts per centimeter squared (mW/cm2) in an "uncontrolled" environment and 1.795 mW/cm2 in a "controlled" environment. The proposed KDEN(TV) facility will operate with a maximum ERP of 2200 kW using a horizontally polarized transmitting antenna at a centerline height of 466.9 meters above ground level (AGL). Considering a very conservative vertical plane relative field factor of 0.3, the KDEN(TV) facility is predicted to produce a power density at two meters above ground level of 0.01536 mW/cm2, which is 4.28% of the FCC guideline value for "uncontrolled" environments, and 0.856% of the FCC guideline value for "controlled" environments (see Appendix A). The total percentage of the ANSI value including all station at the proposed site is only 57.37% of the limit for "uncontrolled" environments, and 11.47% of the limit for"controlled" environments. OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY The licensee of KDEN(TV)is committed to the protection of station personnel and/or tower contractors working in the vicinity of the KDEN(TV) antenna. The applicant is committed to reducing power and/or ceasing operation during times of service or maintenance of the transmission systems, when necessary, to ensure protection to personnel. SUMMARY It is submitted that the instant application for construction permit seeking to relocate the transmission facilities of KDEN(TV) as described herein complies with the Rules, Carl T.

Special operating conditions or restrictions: i The grant of this construction permit is subject to the condition that, with ample time before commencing operation, you make a good faith effort to identify and notify health care facilities (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, see 47 CFR 15.242(a) (1) ) within your service area potentially affected by your DTV operations. Contact with state and/or local hospital associations and local governmental health care licensing authorities may prove helpful :n this process. During this pre-broadcast period, you must provide all notified entities with relevant technical details of your operation, such as DTV channel, targeted on-air date, effective radiated power, antenna location, and antenna height. You are required to place in the station's public inspection file documentation of the notifications and contacts made and you may not commence operations until good faith efforts have been made to notify affected health care facilities. During this pre-broadcast period and for up to twenty (20) days after commencing operations, should you become aware of any instances of medical devices malfunctioning or that such devices are likely to malfunction due to your DTV operations, you must cooperate with the health care facility so that it is afforded a reasonable opportunity to resolve the interference problem.

Mountain Standard Time From: Ernie@eriinc,com To: Blairmedia@aol corn CC: jheard@eriinccom Dirk, I will be able to get you an engineering stamped fall radius letter. For your proposed tower(70 % guying and six guy anchors)our normal guyed tower design will have a majority of the tower mast falling a radius of 50% of the tower height or less with any significant debris falling beyond 70% quite unusual, and to my knowledge has not occurred in the past with any collapsed towers of this type. A tighter radius can be designed into a guyed tower, but cost more because of a layered factor of safety arrangement beefing up certain portions of the design to force the tighter result. I will get back in our office Friday and should be able to get you a letter by the first part of next week, if this will work for you!

Monica Mika,Director 918 101h Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Re: Longmont Broadcasting, LLC Tower Application March 15, 2005 Dear Ms. Mika, This letter acknowledges that Longmont Broadcasting,LLC will include in all of its lease agreements specific provisions requiring any lessee and its assigns to promptly remove at their expense all of its facilities from our tower and property upon the lease termination and or abandonment of such facilities. In the event the lessee does not comply with the duties and obligations of the lease in a commercially reasonable timeframe, Longmont Broadcasting, lie or its successors in interest be obligated to fulfill the responsibility of the removal of the facilities. Since co-location will be provided for and sought after, the termination,abandonment, or non-use of a given facility will generally not impact the continued commercial viability of our commercial towers, and therefore not require the removal of a tower. However, in the event that Longmont Broadcasting, LLC or its successors in interest (the owner) determine the towers are no longer commercially viable or if the County reasonably deems the towers as abandoned, the owner will agree to dismantle and remove the structure from the property at its expense. If you have any question regarding these or related issues. please contact me at 303-885- 61 16 or our chief engineer Dirk Freeman at 303-940-4886. Sincerely, W LQ12-4:44441-14#11 William A.
