If so, state maximum number of stories Whether there is a significant (± 3 foot) change in elevation within 1000 feet of the site What the nearest public accessible location is closest to the antennas Whether access to the public would need to be restricted to meet the Public MPE limits How and where access would need to be restricted (e.g., location of fencing and signage) Locations likely to have the potential to have the highest exposure How many antennas are proposed How many antennas are existing at the facility The make and model of the proposed antennas The projected maximum ERP for each sector in watts (i.e., all channels operating at maximum) For collocation sites (i.e., where other carriers are on the same structure as the proposed project) the projected cumulative maximum exposure levels (all facilities combined) expressed as a percent of the public MPE
