RE: SP- 2005 -019 Buck's Elbow Mountain - Ntelos (WBP701) (Signs #35, 36)
Tax Map 39 - Parcel 1E
Dear Ms. Walker:
On November 2, 2005, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP 2005 -019
to allow the attachment of a 6 -foot long, 11.7 -inch wide antenna supporting portable wireless
broadband services on an existing structure in accordance with Section 10.2.2.48 of the Zoning
Ordinance on Tax Map 39 - Parcel lE in the White Hall Magisterial District. This special use
permit was approved based on the following conditions:
1. The antenna, mounting pole, microwave dish and ground equipment shall all be sized,
located, installed and maintained in general accord with the construction plans, structure
elevations and schematic drawings, entitled "Telecommunications Facility Co- location,
Bucks Elbow Mountain - Waynesboro /Crozet (WBP701), Crozet, Virginia 22932 ", last
revised August 12, 2005 and initialed SBW on September 20, 2005;
2. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit a final revised set of
site drawings for construction of the facility. Planning staff shall review the revised plans
to ensure that all appropriate conditions of this special use permit have been addressed;
3. The top of the omni- directional antenna shall not exceed an elevation of three thousand
one hundred fifty -seven (3157) feet;
4. The facility shall be disassembled and removed from the site within ninety (90) days of
the date its use for personal wireless service purposes is discontinued. If the agent
determines at any time that surety is required to guarantee that the facility will be
removed as required, the agent may require that the parcel owner or the owner of the
facility submit a certified check, a bond with surety, or a letter of credit, in an amount
sufficient for, and conditioned upon, the removal of the facility. The type and form of the
surety guarantee shall be to the satisfaction of the agent and the county attorney. In
determining whether surety should be required, the agent shall consider the following: (i)

the annual report states that the tower or pole is no longer being used for personal
wireless service facilities; (ii) the annual report was not filed; (iii) there is a change in
technology that makes it likely that tower or pole will be unnecessary in the near future;
(iv) the permittee fails to comply with applicable regulations or conditions; (v) the
permittee fails to timely remove another tower or pole within the county; and (vi)
whenever otherwise deemed necessary by the agent;
The owner of the facility shall submit a report to the agent by no earlier than May or and
no later than July 1 of each year. The report shall identify each user of the existing
structure, and include a drawing, photograph or other illustration identifying which
equipment is owned and/or operated by each personal wireless service provider. Multiple
users on a single tower or other mounting structure may submit a single report, provided
that the report includes a statement signed by a representative from each user acquiescing
in the report; and
6. The following shall be submitted to the agent after installation of the monopole is
completed and prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy: (i) certification by a
registered surveyor stating the height of the monopole, measured both in feet above
ground level and in elevation above mean sea level, using the benchmarks or reference
datum identified in the application; and (ii) certification stating that the lightning rod's
height does not exceed two (2) feet above the top of the monopole and width does not
exceed a diameter of one (1) inch.
Please be advised that although the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on
the project noted above, no uses on the property as approved above may lawfully begin
until all applicable approvals have been received and conditions have been met. This
includes:
compliance with conditions of the SPECIAL USE PERMIT;
approval of and compliance with a SITE PLAN amendment; and
approval of a ZONING COMPLIANCE CLEARANCE.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued is not
commenced within twenty -four (24) months from the date of Board approval, it shall be deemed
abandoned and the permit terminated. The term "commenced" means "construction of any
structure necessary to the use of the permit."
If you have questions or comments regarding the above -noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact Keith Lancaster at 296 -5832.
