Environmental Corporation of America’s (ECA’s) client, American Towers LLC, is proposing to construct a telecommunications facility as described in the following FCC Form 620, New Tower (NT) Submission Packet. ECA understands that American Towers LLC plans to construct a 235-foot (overall height) monopole telecommunications structure within a proposed 80-foot by 80-foot (24-meter by 24-meter) lease area. The proposed lease area would be accessible via a proposed approximate 281-foot long by 30-foot wide (86-meter by 9-meter) access/utility easement. Furthermore, an additional 30-feet in all directions from the proposed lease area was assessed.
ECA has identified and evaluated Historic Properties, if any, within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for visual and direct effects as directed in Section VI.D.1 and 2 of the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement, effective on March 7, 2005. We have found one Historic Property listed (Burns Cottage; NRHP 83003572) and three Historic Properties determined eligible for listing (Metropolitan Street Railroad Company Trolley Line, Ormewood Historic District, and National Guard Armory) in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) within the APE for visual effects.
Based on our review of the files at the Georgia Historic Preservation Office (GA HPD) and the GNAHRGIS online database, four Historic Properties (Burns Cottage; NRHP 83003572, Metropolitan Street Railroad Company Trolley Line, Ormewood Historic District, and National Guard Armory) identified within the ¾-mile APE for visual effects, but outside of the APE for direct effects.
