In July 2018, Trileaf Corporation (Trileaf) performed a cultural resource inventory survey for a proposed raw land monopole telecommunications facility located at 6525 Tara Boulevard, Jonesboro, Clayton County, Georgia, at coordinates 33°34’33.99” N, 84°22’25.34” E. The proposed project area consists of an existing paved parking lot.
Eco-Site II, LLC proposes the construction of a new monopole telecommunications facility with a total height of 130 feet (39.6 meters). The new tower and associated equipment will be located in a proposed approximate 60-foot by 60-foot (18.3-meter by 18.3-meter) cell tower lease area. A proposed approximate 30-foot by 250-foot (9.1-meter by 76.2-meter) access and utility easement will connect the proposed lease area to Arrowhead Boulevard to the southeast. The new tower will occupy approximately 0.27 acres (0.11 hectares) of land.
Under the direction of Trileaf, Project Archaeologist Zach Horne, MA, RPA performed this survey in response to the planned use of the above-described parcel and the potential impacts that such use might represent to archaeological and architectural cultural resources. The Phase I cultural resource survey was designed to discover all prehistoric and historical period cultural resources that might be present within the project area.
