Title/Name/Summary:
Verizon Wireless & Orland Park Public Works Cell Tower. - 15655 S. Ravinia Avenue - Collocation of Existing Cell Tower Equipment and Upgrade
History:
The 95’ monopole currently located at 15655 S. Ravinia Avenue was previously constructed and is utilized for wireless communications.
In 2010, the Board of Trustees adopted the policies titled, “Co-Locating Wireless Communication Facilities on Village-Owned Property” (2009-0288). The policy includes six components related to: screening ground equipment cabinet enclosures; if required landscaping screening cannot be accommodated, fees will be paid to the Village’s Tree Mitigation Bank in lieu of the required landscaping; ground equipment shelter screening requirements; assessment for multiple tenants or co-locations on the infrastructure; one-time maintenance fee and site access; and compensation to the Village on a quarterly basis that will follow a pre-determined fee schedule. The petitioner has met all the conditions of the above 2010 wireless communication facilities policy.
The tower is located on a parcel at the Village of Orland Park Public Works site, and the lease area is managed through Vertical Bridge, LLC.
The petitioner is now requesting an Appearance Review for the purpose of upgrading equipment mounted on the existing tower. The upgrade includes antenna, remote radio unit (RRU), and associated infrastructure replacement.
