From: Ryan Fletcher Sent: Friday, January 15, 20219:42 AM To: Rebecca Ragsdale <rrarsdale@albemarle.ore>; Bill Fritz <BFRITZ@albemarle.ore> Subject: RE: Parcel ID: 09100-00-00-018AO (1905 Carters Mountain Trail) Rebecca and Bill, Thank you both again for your help with this site as well as the coordination of the pre -application meeting. I was able to get the additional information added to the drawings to include the existing 267' guyed tower coordinates, the proposed 260' self-support tower coordinates, the original coordinates from the staff report associated with SP-88-14, revised the tower location to meet 1:1 setbacks from all property lines and determined the impact regarding critical slopes. I've attached the revised drawings for your reference. Below is the summary of our findings: Coordinates SP-88-14 Staff Report Coordinates: 37°58'30",-78°29'00" Existing 267' Guyed Tower Coordinates: 37°98'34.14",-78°48'34.64" Proposed 260' Self -Support Tower Coordinates: 37°58'59.88",-78°29'00.96" Setbacks We revised the location of the proposed tower to meet the 1:1 setbacks from all property lines. Critical Slopes It was determined that essentially the entire site area surrounding the existing and proposed towers are found to be critical slopes (greater than 25%). We're looking at approximately 8,550 sf of disturbed area and you can assume that all of that area will be on critical slopes, thus requiring a SE request. We're proposing a gabion basket retaining wall to stabilize the up slope and riprap protection to stabilize the existing downslope. 1 believe based on the information we should be able to construct the proposed self-support tower under the existing SP- 88-14 approval as the coordinates are a near match. The proposed tower coordinates are closer than the existing tower coordinates. We will still need to apply for the SE due to the proposed disturbance of the critical slopes. Please review and advise of your interpretation at your earliest convenience.

The tower would be located at an elevation of 1419 feet. The tower will be located at the following USGS coordinates: North Latitute: 37' 58' 300, West Longitude: 78' 29' 00'. Tower construction would involve: construction of a service road across property owned by Route 20 Land Trust to the tower location if permission is not received for use of the existing fire tower road; installation of a concrete foundation and guy wires for structural support; and trespass fencing around the base of the tower. A micro -wave relay receiver will be installed on the tower to receive signal from Richmond for rebroadcast. The tower will be engineered to accommodate nine 10' solid microwave dishes, two FM antennae and one television antenna.

The comments below are only relevant if a special use permit is needed. Please send any new information you have about the location of the proposed tower to Rebecca and she can follow up with you. Attached is the preap checklist. I have also included the link to the special use permit application. https://www.albemarle.org/home/showpublisheddocument?id=lo4o At this time I think you should plan on doing a Community Meeting with the Advisory Committee. We will help coordinate that. The fee for the special use permit application is: $io75 I have also included a link for the special exception applications (setback, critical slopes) if these are needed. https://www.albemarle.org/home/shMublisheddocument?id=2.'Io The fee for a special exception application is $457 per exception request. The setback request is reviewed against the criteria in i4 o.3.1 httus://library.municode.com/va/albemarle I stated in our meeting that an easement on the adjacent property eliminated a need for a modification of the setback. I was incorrect. That provision applies only to personal wireless facilities. The critical slopes request is reviewed against the criteria in 4.25 https://library.municode.com/va/albemarle county/codes/code of ordinances?nodeld=CH18ZO ARTIIBA RE S4GERE S4.2CRSL S4.2.SMOWA If you submit an application to disturb critical slopes your request must specifically address the following (4.2.5a(1)) - the reason for the modification or waiver, explaining how the modification or waiver, if granted, would address the rapid and/or large-scale movement of soil and rock, - excessive stormwater run-off, - siltation of natural and man-made bodies of water, - loss of aesthetic resources, - and, in the event of septic system failure, a greater travel distance of septic effluent (collectively referred to as the "public health, safety, and welfare factors") that might otherwise result from the disturbance of critical slopes. Staff will review the request against the following criteria. (4.2.5a(3)) Staff encourages you to provide your own continents addressing the criteria. Your comments will be shared with the Board in addition to staff continents. a. Strict application of the requirements of section 4.2 would not forward the purposes of this chapter or otherwise serve the public health, safety or welfare; b. Alternatives proposed by the developer or subdivider would satisfy the intent and purposes of section 4.2 to at least an equivalent degree; c. Due to the property's unusual size, topography, shape, location or other unusual conditions, excluding the proprietary interest of the developer or subdivider, prohibiting the disturbance of critical slopes would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the use of the property or would result in significant degradation of the property or adjacent properties; or d. Granting the modification or waiver would serve a public purpose of greater import than would be served by strict application of the regulations sought to be modified or waived. I have not included the schedules and procedures for special use permits because of your previous experience with the process. If you have any questions please feel free to call me. William D.

We would like to schedule a meeting for Monday, 12/21 if there's availability. Below please find a written statement outlining the scope of work for the proposal. We're requesting to replace the existing 276' guyed tower with a 260'self-support tower with a 5' lightning rod located on Parcel: 09100-00-00-018AO. The parcel is zoned RA and currently there's an existing Special Use Permit, SP-88-14 associated with this site. It should be noted that the existing equipment shelter and generator will continue to be utilized as part of the new tower. The impacts beyond the current footprint are minimal requiring some earthwork to accommodate the proposed self-support tower and foundation. Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments. Thank you for assistance with this matter.

Good afternoon Andy, I reached out to Andrew Knuppel and was informed that he was no longer with the County and instructed to reach out to you and I've copied Rebecca Ragsdale to this email as well as I'm not sure who may need to respond. I've been tasked with confirming zoning, site plan and permitting requirements to replace an existing guyed tower located on Parcel ID: 09100-00-00-018AO (1905 Carters Mountain Trail). I've attached the parcel id details above. Here's a quick summary. We have a structurally failing existing guyed tower that is used for FM. We're proposing to replace the existing tower with a new self-support tower also for FM matching the existing height (above mean sea level). It will likely require a slight compound expansion to accommodate the new location as shown on the attached aerial. I was unable to confirm if there are any current proffered conditions through GIS. I'm not sure if you can assist me with the process to swap out the towers, but I thought I'd start with you.
