June 12, 2020 Eagle Harbor Township Planning Commission George Bailey, Chairman 321 Center Street Eagle Harbor, Michigan 49950 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR SECTION 106 COMMENTS = CLG REPRESENTATIVE SITE: COPPER HARBOR (SITE NUMBER: MI100)
HWY 41 COPPER HARBOR, KEWEENAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN 49918 RAMAKER & ASSOCIATES, INC. PROJECT NUMBER: 20670
Dear Mr. Bailey: Ramaker & Associates, Inc. (RAMAKER) was retained by Diamond Towers V, LLC (DIAMOND) to complete a NEPA and Section 106 review of a proposed antenna and equipment installation on a proposed 260-foot self support tower (overall height with appurtenances of 263 feet). RAMAKER and DIAMOND have opined that the proposed activities cannot be considered compliant with the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC’s) Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the FCC (Nationwide Agreement) nor the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Collocations or the FCC’s March 8, 2015 “Report & Order”. Thus, a Section 106 submittal is required on behalf of the proposed DIAMOND undertaking. The purpose of this report is to document the potential for effect to the project’s Direct and Indirect Areas of Potential Effect (APEs). The proposed activity is located along Hwy 41 in Copper Harbor, Keweenaw County, Michigan. The property is further identified as being located in the Northeast ¼ of the Northeast ¼ of Section 1, Township 58 North, Range 29 West. The location of the property is depicted on the attached Lake Medora, Michigan Quadrangle. The project is also identified as being located at 47° 27’ 28.2” North and 87° 55’ 21.6" West. The locations of the site, site photographs, and appropriate Area of Potential Effect (APE) maps have been included. The property is an approximately 200-foot by 200-foot area and is currently wooded and vacant land improved with a proportion of an existing access drive. The proposed development includes construction of a self support tower within a fenced compound. The compound was designed to be suitable for additional equipment shelters/platforms. Utilities will be routed underground from the Hwy 41 right-of-way to the property within the proposed shared access and utility easement. Access to the property will be from Hwy 41 along the proposed and existing gravel access drive within the easement. Additional site development details are included in the attached figures. The property was historically wooded land dating back to at least 1938. By 1983 an access was developed on the host property and transected the property. In 2013 a portion of the property was clear cut. The surrounding area is currently characterized by the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge and wooded land. It is the opinion of RAMAKER that the proposed DIAMOND undertaking will have “No Effect” to the Direct APE and “No Adverse Effect” to the Indirect APE. Following the FCC protocols and procedures, should you wish to provide additional comments with respect to the potential to effect cultural and/or historic properties, please contact RAMAKER. Additionally, if you have any information regarding other potentially interested commenting parties that should be contacted, your input on this matter would also be greatly appreciated. As the project is proposed for development in the very near future, we would appreciate receiving your comments in the next 30 days.
