Dear Ms. Williams:

On February 7, 2011, Prince George's County Board of Education (the Board) entered into a

Telecommunications Leasing Master Agreement with Milestone Communications (Milestone) to allow

Milestone to market School Board properties to wireless carriers looking

to

improve cellular service

within

Prince George's County by constructing towers and base stations on school property. Two

properties owned by the Board

of

Education and located in District 9, Old Croom Vocational High School

and Burroughs Middle School, have been selected by Verizon Wireless to cover gaps in wireless

coverage

within

these communities. An aerial view and site plan

for

each of the proposed sites are

included

with

this letter. Please note: Site plans remain subject to revision. For example, we are

coordinating efforts at Burroughs Middle School to we provide a plan revision

that

harmonizes

with

the

current development underway at the school. Ultimately, the facilities will not interfere with the

schools' use

of

the property, and classify

as a

permitted use subject

to

the setback and landscaping

requirements of the Prince George's County Zoning Code.

In

accordance with the Board

of

Education policy and associated administrative procedures, Milestone

presented these sites

for

the Board's consideration as viable locations

for

the siting of wireless

telecommunications facilities, and was given approval to proceed with initial preparations and

coordination to bring the proposals forward.

Milestone then met with Princ ipal Judy Adams on January 16, 2014 to discuss the proposed facility at

Burroughs Middle School. Old Croom Vocational H igh School is not an active school at this time, so

efforts there were coordinated with Sam Stefanelli and Don Howerton of Prince George's County Public

Schools (PG CPS). Principal Adams did not object t o the proposal, provided that Milestone follows the

Board of Education policies and procedures, and that Milestone coordinates with the appropriate

stakeholders. Again, we are also

coordinating with

PGCPS s

n-site engineering eam, who

oversee

the

current development project at Burroughs Middle School, o assure our plans synchronize with existing

and futureuses for the site. Milestone is also making progress in preparing to file with the Prince

George's County Telecommunications Transmission FacilitiesCoordinating Committee

(TTFCC)

for

review of

these

sites. As Milestone draws closer to beginning our community outreach and notification

process, we wish to provide you with any information you may require regarding

the

proposed facility

and our community outreach efforts.

Milestone's comprehensive community outreach efforts often exceed

the

requirements of

the

jurisdictions in which we seek to locate telecommunications facilities. Milestone

will

not only contact

the elected officials,community leaders, neighbors livingnear the site and community organizations as

required, but also will expand the notifications mailing area for this site. Jn our outreach letter, we also

provide a web address for a dedicated website created to provide information specific o this proposed

facility. Our policy

s

to

get

information out to stakeholders early and transparently, so

that there

are no

surprises later on in the process. In-keeping with TTF C C requirements, we will of course provide a

After

OnceTTF C C approval has been granted and written approval received, Milestone

will

apply for a

and executed leases construction will be scheduled and completed.

We welcome the opportunity to speak with your or meetwith you to address any questions you may

have or provide any additional information. We will contact you to confirm receipt of this letterand

Thank You for the Teleconference

Demetria Tobias

Dear Board Member Higgins:

Thank you

so

much

for

holding a teleconference with me today regarding proposals

for

potential wireless facilities at

Carroll Middle School and Parkdale High School. I am grateful for the opportunity to address your questions about

Milestone's Master Lease Agreement with Prince George's County Public Schools(PGCPS) and the benefits it offers. It

was good to hear that you are pleased about the revenue source for

PGCPS.

Pursuant to our conversation I will send an information packet for each site,

for

your future reference. I will also

forward information about the structure of financial distribution implemented in other School Districts, along with reach

information for contacts within those School Systems who may serve

a s

a

references.

As we discussed, Milestone will now proceed in the process and request an Authorization to Proceed Letter from the

Chief Executive Officer

of

PGCPS for the proposed facility at Carroll Middle School. As mentioned, we are still preparing

the documentation required for Parkdale High School, and will keep you advised when we are ready to request

authorization to proceed for Parkdale High School. Thank you, again, for allowing me to provide the information to you

so that we may move forward.

Most sincerely,

RE:

Property Owned by Prince George's County Board of Education

Carroll Middle School

6130 Lamont Drive

New Carrollton, MD 20784

Dear Ms. Higgins:

On February 7, 2011, Prince George's County Board of Education (the Board) entered into a Telecommunications Leasing

Master Agreement with Milestone Communications (Milestone) to allow Milestone to market School Board properties

to

wireless carriers looking

to

improve cellular service

within

Prince George's County by constructing towers and base

stations on school property. A property owned by the Boardof Education and located in District 2, Carroll Middle

School, has been selected by Verizon Wireless

to

cover a gap in wireless coverage

within

this community. An aerial view

and site plan of the proposed site are included

with

this letter. Please note: The drawings are being revised to show 110'

height

for

the

tower

(monopole). The facility will not Interfere

with

the school's use

of

the property, and

is a

permitted

use subject to the setback and landscaping requirements

of

the Prince George's County Zoning Code.

In

accordance with the Board of Education policy and associated administrative procedures, Milestone presented this

site

for

consideration

as

a

viable location

for

the siting of

a

wireless telecommunications facility, and was given approval

to proceed

with

initial preparations and coordination to bring the proposal forward.

Milestone then met

with

Principal David Curry on November 13, 2013

to

discuss the proposal. Mr. Curry does not

object to the proposal, provided

that

Milestone follows the Board of Education policies and procedures, and

that

Milestone coordinates

with

the appropriate stakeholders. Since that meeting, Milestone has made significant progress

in preparing

to

file with the Prince George's county Telecommunications Transmission Facilities Coordinating Committee

(TTFCC) for

review of this site.

As

Milestone draws closer to beginning our community outreach and notification

process, we wish to provide you

with

any information you may require regarding the proposed facility and our

community outreach efforts.

Milestone's comprehensive community outreach efforts often exceed the requirements of the Jurisdictions in which w

seek to locate telecommunications facilities. Milestone will not only contact the elected officials, community leader

neighbors living near the site and community organizations

as

required, but also will expand the notifications mailing

area

for

this site. In our outreach Jetter, we also provide a web address

for a

dedicated website created

to

provide

information specific to this proposed facility. Our policy

is

to get information out to stakeholders early and

transparently, so

that

there are no surprises later on

In

the process. In-keeping

with TTFCC

requirements, we will

of

course provide

a

briefing at

a

mutually-convenient time to affected parties who make such

a

request

within

30 days of

the date of the notification mailing.

After

the community outreach process

is

complete, Milestone will proceed with its' application to the

TTFCC.

Once

TTFCC

approval

has

been granted and

written

approval received, Milestone will apply

for

a building permit and

coordinate leases through the School Board. Upon receipt of the building permit and executed leases construction wil

be scheduled and completed.

We welcome the opportunity to speak

with

your

or

meet

with

you to address any questions you may have or provide

any additional information. We will contact you to confinm receipt

of

this Jetter and arrange

for

any additional

discussion

or

meeting,

as

you deem appropriate.

Thank you

for

your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Maureen Kane Smith

Dear Ms. Higgins:


RE:

Property Owned by Prince George's County Board of Education

Carroll Middle School

6130 Lamont Drive

New Carrollton, MD 20784

On February 7, 2011, Prince George's County Board ofEducation (the Board) entered into a

Telecommunications Leasing Master Agreementwith Milestone Communications (Milestone) to

allow Milestone to market School Board properties

to

wireless carriers looking to improve

cellular service within Prince George's County by constructing towers and base stations on

school property. A property owned by the Board of Education and located in District 2, Carroll

Middle School, h a s been selected by Verizon Wireless to cover

a

gap in wireless coverage within

this community. An aerial view and site plan of the proposed site are included with this letter.

Please note: The drawings are being revised to show 110' height for the tower (monopole). The

facility will not interfere with the school's use of the property, and

is

a permitted use subject to

the setback and landscaping requirements of the Prince George's County Zoning Code.

In accordance with the Board of Education policy and associated administrative procedures,

Milestone presented this site for consideration a s a viable location for the siting of a wireless

telecommunications facility, and was given approval to proceed with initial preparations and

coordination

to

bring the proposal forward.

Milestone then met with Principal David Curry on November 13, 2013to discuss the proposal.

Mr. Curry does not object to the proposal, provided that Milestone follows the Board of

Education policies and procedures, and that Milestone coordinates with the appropriate

stakeholders. Since that meeting, Milestone has made significant progress in preparing to file

with the Prince George's County Telecommunications Transmission Facilities Coordinating

Committee (lTFCC) for review of this site.

As

Milestone draws closer to beginning our

community outreach and notification process, we wish to provide you with any information you

may require regarding the proposed facility and our community outreach efforts.

Milestone's comprehensive community outreach efforts often exceed the requirements of the

jurisdictions in which we seek to locate telecommunications facilities. Milestone will not only

contact the elected officials, community leaders, neighbors living near the site and community

organizations

a s

required, but also will expand the notifications mailing area for this site. In our

outreach letter, we also provide

a

web address for

a

dedicated website created to provide

information specific to this proposed facility. Our policy is to get information out to

stakeholders early and transparently,

so

that there are no surprises later on in the process. In

keeping With TIFCC requirements, we will of course provide a briefing at a mutually-convenient

time to affected parties who make such

a

request within 30 days of the date of the notification

mailing.

After the community outreach process is complete, Milestone will proceed with its' application

to the TIFCC. Once TIFCC approval h a s been granted and written approval received, Milestone

will apply for

a

building permit and coordinate leases through the School Board. Upon receipt of

the building permit and executed leases construction will be scheduled and completed.

We welcome the opportunity to speak with your or meet with you to address any questions you

may have or provide any additional information. We will contact you to confirm receipt of this

letter and arrange for any additional discussion or meeting, a s you deem appropriate.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Maureen Kane Smith

Project Manager
