RE: SP 2005-00023 Ford, Linda — ALLTEL Tier III (Sign #77)
Tax Map 59 - Parcel 80C
Dear Mr. Caramanis:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on May 24, 2005, unanimously
recommended approval of the above -noted petition to the Board of Supervisors.
Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. The replacement power pole, antennas and ground equipment shall all be sized, located,
installed and maintained in general accord with the site construction drawings of the
facilities, structure elevations and schematic drawings, entitled "Alltel - Linda Ford
Bucks", last revised November 7, 2005 and initialed SBW on November 8, 2005.
2. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit a final revised set of
site construction drawings 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 replacement pole antenna shall not exceed a height of 53 feet above ground
and elevation of 731 feet above sea level.
4. The replacement pole shall be of a color and finish that is consistent with the other
existing poles that are to remain within the power line easement, and the antennas shall be
painted to match that color and flat finish as well.
5. The ground equipment cabinets shall be painted a flat, natural dark brown color and/or
screened in accordance with the requirements of the Architectural Review Board.
6. The gravel access road shall be screened from State Route 250 in accordance with the
requirements of the Architectural Review Board.
7. 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 the 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.
8. The owner of the facility shall submit a report to the agent by no earlier than May 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.
9. Certification by a registered surveyor stating the height of the replacement pole, measured
both in feet above ground level and in elevation above mean sea level, and using the
benchmarks or reference datum identified on the construction plan shall be submitted to
the agent after installation of the monopole is completed and prior to issuance of a
certificate of occupancy.
Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review this petition and
receive public comment at their meeting on December 14, 2005. Any new or additional
information regarding your application must be submitted to the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors at least seven days prior to your scheduled hearing date.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please do not
hesitate to contact me at (434) 296-5832.
