(applicant). Located in the NW quadrant of the inters. of Miller School Rd and I- 64. TM 72/Parcel 19B, zoned Rural Areas and Entrance Corridor. Requests reduction of front yard setback from Rt. 64 from 75 to 10 ft to allow construction of 90-ft monopole tower. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: See Attached JUSTIFICATION SHALL BE BASED ON THESE THREE (3) CRITERIA: 1) That the strict application of this ordinance would produce undue hardship. See Attached 2) That such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district and the same vicinity. See Attached 3) That the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and that the character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the variance. See Attached The application may be deferred by the staff or the Board of Zoning Appeals, if sufficient information necessary to this review has not be submitted by the deadline. I hereby certify that the information provided on this application and accompanying information is accurate, true and correct to the be t of my knowledge and belief. 4q (:: j4L4, 311 • at. I 1- C0 S-O(�Attorneyror 360' Commations at Receipt# Date Company of Charlottesville hr 360° COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE d/b/a ALLTEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Berman Site) 360° Communications Company of Charlottesville d/b/a ALLTEL Communications, Inc. ("the Applicant") submits this application in conjunction with its Special Use Permit application filed by the May 30, 2000 deadline. (Note: This application contains a copy of the landowner's permission letter to file this application, because the original of that letter was filed with the Special Use Permit application.) The Applicant hereby requests the following: (1) a 64.2'variance to the 75' required right-of- way setback(Section 10.4) from Interstate 64, and (2) a waiver of the 1:1 tower height/setback ratio requirement set forth in Section 4.10.3.1. The Applicant's proposed facility includes a 90' monopole tower, the centerline of which is located 10.8' from the boundary of the right-of-way. The applicable setback provisions are designed to prevent undue crowding of land, and to prevent safety hazards should a tower fall. The proposed facility does not create any undue crowding of land by its placement. Furthermore, the tower presents no safety risk of falling. The proposed tower's monopole design is constructed to withstand high wind speeds, and, in the unlikely event of tower failure, is designed to collapse into itself rather than fall on its side. Accordingly, the proposed tower's placement, 10.8'from the right-of-way, does not violate any intention of the applicable setback provisions. Furthermore,the proposed facility meets the three criteria listed on the variance application form as follows: 1. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship. The placement of the tower is carefully selected so the tower can provide adequate coverage while still concealed among the trees. Movement of the facility to accommodate the setback requirements would put the facility over the hill and on to terrain which could not accommodate the tower. The proposed site allows for adequate coverage and little visibility while remaining faithful to the objectives of the setback ordinance. 2. Such hardship is not shared generally among other properties in the vicinity. The hardship is created as the result of finding a site which is able to accommodate the facility and which balances adequate telecommunications coverage and low visibility. Such considerations are not applicable to most other uses, but are unique to telecommunications facilities. The proposed facility satisfies those conditions while preventing undue crowding and minimizing safety concerns. 3. Authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property or the character of the district. In fact, authorization of the variance is the best way to prevent detriment in that regard, because the tower is concealed by the trees and presents no safety hazards. As it is proposed, the facility has little impact because of its minimal visibility among the trees. Furthermore, even if a tower could be located on the hillside terrain, a substantially taller tower would be required, and the facility would be more visible. The County recently approved a similar variance request for CFW's Ivy & 1-64 facility (SP 99- 11). The County approved the variance because moving the facility to meet the setback requirements would require the tower be outside the cover of the trees, and therefore be extremely visible. In addition to that analysis,the Applicant's proposed site cannot be moved to accommodate the setback requirement because the terrain is inappropriate for such construction. Accordingly, the Applicant's request for a variance should also be approved. For these reasons, the Applicant requests the Board of Zoning Appeals grant its request for a variance of 64.2'to the 75'setback requirement, and waive the 1:1 setback ratio requirement set forth in Section 4.10.3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
