Sincerely, Wanda Kielty Site Acquisition Manager General Dynamics 3022 Durban Houston, TX 77043 713- 829 -3159 Description of Design Plan This site, Brazos, site # 04055450007, being located at 1430 Texas Avenue South, is to provide Verizon Wireless additional capacity as well as new coverage within the City limits and ETJ of College Station. This site will serve to support Verizon Wireless's growing customer base in this area as well as provide for new technology that is currently being used in this market. This site will be a stealth light pole on the garage rooftop of the Retail Properties Group, strip center facility. The antennas being used at this stealth site will be the Unicell 20, which is designed to provide superior RF performance as well as provide for a "zoning friendly" package design.. Verizon Wireless must utilize a regular or normal cell site design at this location because this site is both for coverage as well as for capacity. The typical coverage for PCS is 2 miles and for cellular it is 2.5 miles. if Verizon were to utilize microceil or minicell technology, it would only provide for coverage of %Z mile or less. And, if microcells or minicells were to be used at this location it would require approximately 18 to 20 and would be cost prohibitive, not to mention very unsightly. The anticipated traffic will be from the Texas Avenue street as well as the surrounding residential neighborhoods. There are several technicians who will be responsible for servicing this site. They will, on occasion, have to come to the site to perform system performance tests as well as maintain the facility, during the maintenance window time of midnight to 5 am, or when it is deemed necessary.

AFFIDAVIT COUNTY OF HARRIS STATE OF TEXAS BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared Sharon C. Beck, known to me to be the person whose name appears below, who upon being duly sworn, deposes and states the following: 1. "My name is Sharon C. Beck. I am over the age of 18, I have never been convicted of a felony, and I am fully competent to make this affidavit. I have personal knowledge of the facts and statements contained herein and they are all true and correct. I am employed by Verizon Wireless ( "VZW ") as a Real Estate Implementation Manager, and I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein, which facts are true and correct. 2. "I am authorized to supervise independent site acquisition contractors (the "Contractors ") hired by VZW to research and locate acceptable telecommunications sites to service certain geographic areas. 3. "VZW's radio frequency engineers have identified an area near the intersection of Old State Hwy 6 and George Bush Drive, College Station, Texas, where the existing radio frequency coverage is less than minimum acceptable quality and suffers from significant gaps in wireless service. Standard business practice by VZW, and my instructions from VZW's radio frequency engineers, were to find a location within or as near as possible to this area that either (i) had an existing structure suitable for the location of VZW's telecommunications equipment or (ii) would allow for the construction of a structure upon which VZW could attach its telecommunications equipment. VZW engineers have conducted radio frequency studies of the area surrounding this intersection, and have determined that a proposed wireless communications facility site atop a parking garage located at 1430 Texas Avenue South, College Station, Brazos County, Texas, 77840 (the "Proposed Site ") would meet VZW's radio frequency coverage and capacity objectives in the area. A one -half mile radius from the Proposed Site is noted on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein (the "Search Ring "). 4. "Prior to making this determination, in accordance with the City's (as defined herein) requirements and at VZW's request, the Contractors conducted an exhaustive research of the geographic area in and around the Search Ring in an effort to locate a suitable existing site for the installation or collocation onto a tower or antenna support structure for VZW's telecommunications equipment. SANANTONIO \710572.2 00 -0302 Brazos 9 Location No. 102193 5. "In the course of their work, the Contractors typically begin their research by investigating the zoning of the applicable municipality. They conduct a thorough search for existing structures with landowners who are willing to enter in to a lease with VZW pursuant to terms acceptable to both the landowners and VZW. If they are unable to find a workable solution utilizing existing communication towers or structures, only then do they begin searching for a building on which to install telecommunications equipment. The Contractors followed these procedures with respect to the Search Ring for this site. 6. "During the initial search of the geographic area in and around the Search Ring, the Contractors determined that there were possible existing sites or support structures within the Search Ring that might be viable for the placement of VZW's equipment (see Exhibit "A" attached hereto for their relative locations). However, none the sites identified were viable solutions due to unavailability of such site or inability to agree on terms acceptable to both landowners and VZW. Following are the sites identified: (a) an existing "stealth" telecommunications tower located within the Search Ring owned and operated by Sprint (FCC #1234544), having an address of 205 Dominik Road. In 2002, the Contractors approached Sprint about the collocation of VZW antennas onto their tower. VZW engineers determined that, in order to accommodate VZW's antennas, the Sprint tower would have to be extended from 84' to 110'. VZW submitted its application to the City of College Station (the "City ") which required the tower to be and remain "stealth ", and went to a zoning hearing. However, the City felt like there was a substantial amount of pressure from surrounding land owners and that to extend the tower would, in their opinion, make the tower "non- stealth ". For this reason, VZW's request was denied, (b) an existing elevated water tower located within the Search Ring owned and operated by the City (FCC #1236521), located on Park Place Road. In 2002, the Contractors approached the City about the collocation of VZW antennas onto their water tower. Per correspondence from the City, dated June 18, 2002, and attached hereto as Exhibit "B ", the City advised VZW it is not their policy to allow wireless communication antennas on their elevated water storage facilities; (c) an existing building located within the Search Ring owned and operated by the College Station Independent School District (the "CSISD "), located at Oakwood Elementary School on 106 Holik Drive, College Station, Texas. In 2003, the Contractors approached the CSISD about the placement of a stealth telecommunications tower on their property. Per correspondence from CSISD, dated July 7, 2003, and attached hereto as Exhibit "C ", CSISD advised VZW it was not interested in pursuing discussions regarding the placement of a telecommunications tower on their property; (d) an existing Clarion hotel located within the Search Ring owned and operated by Texas Hotel Management, LP (the "Hotel Owner "), being at 1203 Texas Avenue South, College Station, Texas. The Contractors approached the SANANTONIO \710572.2 00 -0302 Brazos 9 Location No. 102193 Hotel Owner in 2002 and the Contractors were told that the Hotel Owner would not negotiate a business deal with VZW due to the Iraq War. A certified letter dated June 21, 2005, and attached hereto as Exhibit "D ", was sent to the Hotel Owner to determine if any interest currently exists. The Hotel Owner has since informed the Contractor the terms of a lease could not be worked through (e) an existing Ramada Inn also owned by Hotel Owner and located at 1502 Texas Avenue South, College Station, Texas. This site is outside the Search Ring, but has the same owner as the Holiday Inn and the Clarion Hotel, so was considered. However, VZW's RF engineers rejected this site in 2001 and 2002 since the building was too short to meet VZW's height requirements (f) an existing "stealth" 75' telecommunications tower located within the Search Ring owned and operated by Sprint, located at the Grace Bible Church on 700 Anderson St. This site is a single carrier stealth pole and VZW's engineers rejected the site since it was too short to meet VZW's height requirements. 7. "Based on exhaustive research in and around the Search Ring, I can say unequivocally that the Proposed Site is the only available site to VZW to meet its pressing radio frequency coverage needs in the vicinity of the Proposed Site. The Contractors have made diligent, but unsuccessful, efforts to obtain permission to install or collocate the new VZW facility on existing towers or antenna support structures located within the Search Ring."
