Re: Notice of Antenna Installation for Evaluation of Historic Sites
Mirador Farm Telecommunication Tower(Site#5052185)
Greenwood,Virginia
Dear Ms. Maliszewski:
Cellco Partnership and its controlled affiliates doing business as Verizon Wireless
(Verizon Wireless) is proposing to construct a 112-foot tall telecommunication tower at an
approximate address 7416 Greenwood Station Road, Greenwood, VA 22943. The site is located
at Latitude 38°02' 38.9608 N, Longitude 78°45'4.8078W (Degrees Minutes Seconds). The
subject site consists of a 40-foot by 40-foot area of wooded land, which Verizon Wireless plans
to lease to construct a fenced telecommunications compound containing an approximate 108-foot
tall monopole tower (112-foot including appurtenances) and associated equipment. GTA
understands that the telecommunications compound will contain a diesel-powered generator. In
addition, the subject site consists of an approximate 20-foot wide by 200 foot long proposed
access and utility easement, which extends generally southwest from the proposed Verizon
Wireless compound lease area to Greenwood Station Road. The proposed access and utility
easement consists of an unimproved road and wooded land. Site Location Maps and Site Plans
are attached.
Pursuant to the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Review of Effects on Historic
Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission, on
behalf of Verizon Wireless, Geo-Technology Associates, Inc. (GTA) is providing written
notification of this proposal by Verizon Wireless to construct the above referenced
telecommunications tower. The antenna installation is subject to review under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act, 16 U.S.C. § 470f ("Section 106"). In accordance with
Section 106 and the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement referenced above, Verizon Wireless
invites your comments on the effects of the proposed tower on historic properties in the vicinity
that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. A copy of the
Section 106 Submittal can be provided upon request. The Section 106 review is a separate
process from any city or county approval required for this project.

Hello, Kirti.
The location of this proposed tower falls within the Greenwood-Afton National Register Historic District.The site is very
close to important historic resources and is located in a very scenic part of the county where expansive rural views are
important. It appears that several trees will have to be removed to accommodate the proposed facility and only the
reference tree has a height within 10'of the proposed tower height. Most of the other identified trees are significantly
shorter.Consequently, it appears that this proposal could have a negative visual impact on nearby historic resources.
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
Margaret.

RE: Assessment of Visual Effects for the Proposed Mirador Farm Raw Land Cellular Toower
Installation Located Adjacent to 1-64, off Greenwood Station Road, Greenwood,
Virginia
Dear Mr. Hendricks:
The report that follows presents the results of the visual effects survey for the Mirador Farm raw land
site located adjacent to Interstate 64 (1-64) off Greenwood Station Road, Greenwood, Virginia
(Figures 1-3). The balloon test was performed and photographs were taken by Stantec staff on
July 26, 2017. The report was reviewed by Ellen M. Brady, Senior Principal Investigator and Sandra
DeChard, Senior Architectural Historian, on behalf of Geo-Technology Associates Inc. (GTA).
The investigations were conducted with reference to state (Guidelines For Conducting Cultural
Resource Survey In Virginia: Additional Guidance for the Implementation of the Federal Standards
Entitled Archaeology and Historic Preservation: Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines
(48 FR 44742, September 29, 1983 [Virginia Department of Historic Resources {VDHR} 2001]) and
federal (Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic
Preservation [United States Department of the Interior {USDI} 1983]) guidelines for conducting
cultural resources investigations as well as in accordance with the Nationwide Programmatic
Agreement Regarding the Section 106 National Historic Preservation Act Review Process (NPA)
effective March 7, 2005.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project includes the construction of a telecommunications tower within a wooded
area adjacent to 1-64 (Figures 1-3).The tower will be at 112 feet, 15 feet taller than the tallest tree
in the APE.
AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECT
The Area of Potential Effect (APE) for visual effects for Mirador Farm Site, as determined by the
NPA, was 0.5 miles. This survey was designed to assess visual effects to the National Register of
Historic Places (NRHP)-eligible or listed resources within the APE.
1
PROJECT LOCATION
The project area is located in an area of woods adjacent to 1-64 (Figures 1-3). A red weather
balloon was flown at 100 and 110 feet in order to assess the visual effects. The proposed tower
will stand 108 feet tall with a 4 foot lightenting rod for a total height of 112 feet. At the time the
balloon test was conducted final tower height had not been determined and the balloon where
flown at the anticipated heights. However the additional 2 feet of lightening rod will not present
a significantly different view than represented by the balloon at 110 feet.

RESULTS OF BACKGROUND RESEARCH
Background research for the project involved a review of the VDHR's Virginia Cultural Resources
Information System (V-CRIS) database.This review was conducted in order to determine whether
any NRHP-listed or eligible individual architectural resources, historic districts, or battlefields were
located within the APE of the cell site. According to V-CRIS, one NRHP-listed historic district, the
Greenwood-Afton Rural Historic District (VDHR #002-5075), and two individually listed resources,
Mirador (VDHR #002-0100), and Cloverplains/Seven Oaks (VDHR #002-0071), are located within
the 0.5-mile APE (Figure 4; Table 1). Nineteen additional resources were also located within the
0.5-mile APE, but have been evaluated as "Not Eligible" by VDHR staff or have not been
individually evaluated and therefore do not meet the criteria for consideration according to the
NPA (Figure 4).
VISUAL EFFECTS EVALUATION
The purpose of the visual effects evaluation is to determine if the NRHP-eligible resources under
consideration within the APE will view the proposed cellular installation.The survey was undertaken
to ensure compliance with the NPA and with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
2
(NHPA) (as amended). Since three NRHP-listed resources are located within the APE, a visual
effects study was conducted for the resources (Table 1; Photos 1-16). The study included
photographing the individual resources and their views towards the cellular site, as well as views
from the rural historic district toward the proposed site location, to evaluate the visual impact of
the undertaking on the historic resources within the defined APE.All photographs were taken from
the public right-of-way.
The proposed tower will be at 112 feet and set within a wooded area adjacent to 1-64, off of
Greenwood Station Road. The proposed tower location is immediately north of the northwest
corner of the resource boundary of Cloverplains/Seven Oaks (VDHR #002-0071). The main house
was not visible from the public ROW. Although the proposed tower location is situated in close
proximity to the property boundary of Cloverplains, it appears that the tower, due to topography
and vegetation, will not be visible from the main house. The proposed tower location was visible
at 110 feet from Photo Location 3 (Figure 3); however, not at 100 feet. The balloon flights,
representative of the tower location, was not from any other visual effects survey location for
Cloverplains (Photos 2, 4, 5, and 13).
Due to topography and open fields, the proposed tower at 112 feet will be visible from Mirador
(VDHR #002-0100) at several points (Photos 3, 6, 7, 8, and 11). Although both balloon flights, were
visible from four of the five locations, only the 110 foot balloon was visible from Photo Location 3.
Photographs were taken from the edge of the property boundary outside of the 0.5-mile APE, as
the main house lies outside of the buffer, in order to provide GTA with potential views from the
entire property boundary. Based on field observations, it appears that the tower may be visible
from the primary resource (Photo 11), unless shielded by surrounding trees. It will be visible from the
drive approach to the house from Rockfish Gap Turnpike (Photo 6) and across the fields and
agricultural structures located north and northeast of the house (Photos 7 and 11).
The entire APE is within the Greenwood-Afton Rural Historic District (VDHR #002-5075),an expansive
district characterized by a rural landscape. The balloons at 100 and 110 feet was visible at six of
13 surveyed locations (Photos 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 11). At Photo Location 3, only the balloon flown at
110 feet was visible. Three of the locations were in the vicinity of the proposed tower location
and/or on overpasses crossing 1-64 (Photos 1, 3, and 8).The other three locations (Photos 6, 7, and
11) were locations adjacent to Mirador.
CONCLUSION
The proposed tower at 112 feet will be visible from the northwest corner of the Cloverplains/Seven
Oaks (VDHR #002-0071) (Photo 3), at several points from Mirador (VDHR #002-0100) (Photos 3, 6,
7,8, and 11), and from a several areas of the Greenwood-Afton Rural Historic District (VDHR #002-
5075) (Photos 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 11). As the tower will be visible from a only the northwest corner of
the Cloverplains/Seven Oaks property and, based on field observation, not likely from the house
or outbuildings of the historic core due to topography and vegetation, it is recommended that
the proposed tower installation will have No Adverse Effect on Cloverplains/Seven Oaks (VDHR
#002-0071).
Due to the topography and open fields of Mirador (VDHR #002-0100), the proposed tower, based
on the balloon flights at 100 and 110 feet,was visible over the trees in several areas of the property,
including agricultural buildings.The fieldwork was conducted along the perimeter of the property
as access to the area of the house was not granted during the survey. However,the nearest trees
to the location of the cell tower include 95-foot and 97-foot pine trees. According to the height
of the trees, the proposed tower will be less than 10 feet above the tree line. It is therefore
recommended that the proposed tower installation at 112 feet will have No Adverse Effect on
Mirador (VDHR #002-0100).
3
The entire survey APE is located within the NRHP-listed Greenwood-Afton Rural Historic District
(VDHR #002-5075). Based on the field evaluation, the proposed tower would be visible from six of
the 13 survey locations. At several locations, the balloons were minimally visible at 100 feet (Photo
Locations 1, 6, 7,and 8).The balloon flown at 110 feet was visible from Photo Location 3, however,
the 100-foot high balloon was not. Both balloons were fully visible from Photo Location 11.
Vegetation throughout the survey area aids in partially shielding the view of the balloons, and
therefore the proposed tower, from the resource, particularly at 100 feet. As such, it is
recommended that the proposed tower installation will have No Adverse Effect on the
Greenwood-Afton Rural Historic District (VDHR #002-5075).
Sincerely,

TO: Christopher Perez, County of Albemarle - Department of Community Development 401
McIntire Road, North Wing Charlottesville, VA 22902
RE: Verizon Wireless - Scruby Property—Tier III - Personal Wireless Service Facility- Special
Exception Request for Critical Slope Waiver on Rural Areas (RA) Parcel
Dear Christopher,
This letter is being submitted pursuant to section 4.2 as a request for approval of a Special
Exception to allow disturbance of critical slopes for the installation of a Personal Wireless Service
Facility ("PWSF"). The project compound, which consists of 1,600 square feet in area, when
combined with the access road, equals 3,900 square feet of total disturbed area. Approximately
340 square feet (21.25%) of the total disturbed area is in critical slopes, and those slopes are
located entirely within the proposed access road to the PWSF. This slope was man made,
created when the parent parcel was split during the interstate 64 construction project. In addition,
940 square feet of critical slopes will be created during the construction of the proposed access
road.
Areas of critical slopes have been identified, and Verizon Wireless will address the following
health, safety, and welfare concerns set forth in Section 4.2.5(a)(1) of the ordinance:
Rapid and/or large scale movement of soil and rock
During construction, the site will be stabilized using erosion control measures outlined in the
plans, including a silt fence that will keep soil on the parent property.
Excessive stormwater run-off
The finished surface of the site will be semi-pervious, consisting of gravel over a meshed layer of
synthetic fabric. This combination of gravel and fabric placed over compacted subgrade soil will
allow storm water to drain back into the ground instead of flowing off-site.
Siltation of natural and man-made bodies of water
No existing bodies of water have been identified on the subject parcel and the proposed PWSF
site accounts for a small portion or 4.4% of the property's overall area, which contains a total of
1.10 acres. The proposed compaction combined with the layer of synthetic fabric below the gravel
will stabilize soil within the lease area and the access road. These factors, combined with the
vegetation to remain around the facility and road will help to ensure silt does not travel to water
features on nearby properties.
Loss of aesthetic resources
The limits placed on tree clearing for the PWSF are intended to ensure that trees important for
screening and camouflaging the facility will remain intact. The location of the access road was
chosen to ensure only six (6) trees needed to be removed to install the access road. Other
options were explored that would limit the need for this waiver, but numerous large trees would
need to be removed to install such access options.
513 Stewart Street
Suite E
Charlottesville, VA 22902
'fir
GDsites
Van Yahres tree company will prepare a certified arborist report in order to determine the
methods of protecting trees that have been identified to remain at this site, and, once the final
report is completed, it will be submitted to the County prior to building permit submittal.
Greater travel distance of septic effluent
This will be an unmanned facility that will not have a septic system or any other form of plumbing.
Therefore, the concern for possible impact on the travel of septic effluent is not relevant to this
request.
Section 4.2.5(a)(3) allows the commission to waive the restrictions on disturbing critical slopes
upon finding the following (in part):
a. Strict application of the requirements of section 4.2 would not forward the purpose
or otherwise serve the public health, safety, or welfare.
Critical slopes regulations in the Rural Areas are largely focused on ensuring that
adequate building sites can be attained for dwellings or other uses dependent on sewage
systems without large-scaled, adverse impacts to critical slopes.. Section 5.1.40(C)(1)
states, "Notwithstanding section 4.2.3(a), a facility is not required to be located within a
building site." Therefore, the building site requirements related to critical slopes are not
relevant to PWSF's. The proposed facility complies with the design and siting
requirements for Tier 11 PWSF's in order to minimize visual impacts. Therefore, a strict
application of the critical slopes provision would not further the purpose of the zoning
ordinance as it applies to this PWSF.
b. Alternatives proposed by the developer or subdivider would satisfy the intent and
purposes of section 4.2 to at least an equivalent degree.
Any alternatives that would satisfy the conditions of this ordinance would require the need
to remove more than the six (6) trees proposed to be removed to construct the access
road for the proposed PWSF or would require a new entrance to be installed along
Greenwood Station Road. Therefore, the entrance road as designed would have the least
amount of impact on natural resources without causing soil/rock movement, excessive
storm water run-off, or other disturbances.
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.
Any alternative to bypass the critical slopes would require the need to remove more than
the six (6) trees proposed to be removed to construct the access road for the proposed
PWSF or would require a new entrance to be installed along Greenwood Station Road.
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.
Since the adoption of the wireless policy there have been several other Tier Il and Tier Ill
treetop PWSF's approved in areas where critical slope disturbance is necessary. These
approvals are normally granted when it can be demonstrated that the overall goals for
513 Stewart Street

GDslues
minimizing visual impacts are addressed and disturbance of critical slopes is limited to
the minimum amount as necessary. The location of the proposed road will give the most
direct route into the site, without creating additional tree removal or a new entrance
installation.
Conclusion
When considering critical slopes disturbance in relationship to Personal Wireless Service
Facilities, the requirements and policies for minimizing the visual impacts of the PWSF's have
been instrumental in guiding the decisions to grant waivers. In this case, critical slopes
disturbance is very minimal and Verizon Wireless will utilize the proposed site design, tree
conservation, and construction techniques to address the requirements of Chapter 4.2 in a more
site-specific manner. Therefore, we appreciate your thoughtful consideration in analyzing this
modification request for consistency with the critical slopes regulations.
Please not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience if you should have any questions,
comments or concerns, or will require any additional information for the review and approval of
this request.

Verizon Wireless—Scruby Property-Tier Ill
Personal Wireless Service Facility
Project Description / Request:
Cellco Partnership, operating as Verizon Wireless("Verizon"), respectfully requests approval of
a Special Use Permit and Special Exemption for a Personal Wireless Service Facility (PWSF),
including a 94-foot tall monopole to be located immediately south of the nearest addressed parcel
at 7418 Greenwood Station Road, and identified as Tax Map & Parcel Number 05400-00-00-
072A0 (the "Property"). The leased area is 40'x40'. Verizon's proposed radio transmitter cabinet
will be placed on a concrete pad, besides an approximately 10' wide utility H-Frame stand for
other power communication components on a steel grated platform, and an emergency back-up
power generator on another concrete pad. This facility will be installed within a 600 square-foot
fenced compound and the ground equipment will be covered with an ice guard to prevent
possible damage to the ground equipment due to falling tree branches and ice. The monopole,
antennas, and base station equipment that might be visible above the screening fence will all be
painted with Sherwin Williams Java Brown -#6090, which is a matte enamel color that has been
previously approved as an appropriate color for many other"Treetop" Personal Wireless Service
Facility sites throughout Albemarle County.
Network Objectives:
Verizon is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission(FCC)to provide state-of-the-
art wireless telecommunications services within Albemarle County using a combination of four
(4) separate bands on the frequency spectrum. These consists of the 850 MHz band for Cellular
(CDMA), the 1900 MHz frequency band for Personal Communications Services (PCS), the 4G
Long Term Evolution(LTE) on 700 MHz band, and Advance Wireless Services(AWS)on the
2100 MHz band. The network offers data upload and download transmission speeds that much
faster than the previous generations of wireless technologies. Verizon has also recently added
high-definition calling capabilities to the data networks in the form of Voice Over LTE
(VOLTE) service.
Whenever possible, it is Verizon's goal to provide seamless in-building, in-car, and on-street
coverage and the full range of voice and data services to existing and future customers. Verizon
has determined that the area surrounding this proposed site needs expanded coverage to better
service the nearby residences, businesses, and traffic along the I-64 Interstate. Therefore, this site
is intended to provide infill coverage while also adding additional network capacity by
offloading traffic from the company's nearest existing sites in all directions. Although the
proposed 94' monopole tower would be too short to maximize coverage, it should allow the
antennas to clear the highest treetops within the immediate area on this parcel allowing service
from this facility to connect the with customers who are currently drawing on the marginal
coverage levels that are currently being provided by the four(4) nearest neighboring sites: "164
West"to the west(VZW PWSF off Newton Heights Road), "Yancey Mills"to the East (VZW
PWSF off Patterson Mill Lane), "Parsons Green"to the southwest(VZW PWSF off of Route
151 —Critzers Shop Road), and "Railroad Avenue"to the Northeast(VZW Rooftop Mounted
Antenna in Downtown Crozet).
Character of the Area:
The proposed PWSF will be contained within a 1600 square-foot lease area located on a 1.098
acre property used for agricultural purposes. The site of the proposed facility has a ground level
elevation of 773.5 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). The subject parcel, which is in the
SP202000012 Scruby Property-Verizon Wireless Tier Ill PWSF
bah
Verizon Wireless—Scruby Property-Tier iii
Personal Wireless Service Facility
White Hall Magisterial District, is located off of Greenwood Station Road, is zoned Rural Areas
(RA), and is located within the Entrance Corridor(EC) Overlay District and the Greenwood-
Afton Rural Historic District(DHR ID#0088-5075). All adjoining properties are zoned Rural
Areas(RA)and have a mix of residential and agricultural uses. Access to the proposed PWSF
will be provided from the east side of Greenwood Station Road, utilizing an existing gravel
entrance to the property. The proposed monopole will be located approximately 37.5 feet east of
the nearest boundary line with the right-of-way for Greenwood Station Road. The nearest off-
site dwelling is located approximately 700' northwest of the monopole site across I-64 on
property identified as Tax Map/ Parcel Number 05400-00-00-07100.
Compliance with Section 5.1.40 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance Section 5.1.40(b)—
Development Requirements for Tier III Personal Wireless Service Facilities(Items 1-12):
1. General Design: The Facility shall be designed, installed, and maintained as follows:
(a) Guy Wires: The proposed monopole will not require any installation of guy wires.
(b) Outdoor Lighting: One LED Floodlight will be placed on the utility H-Frame and test
lights will only be used as needed during unexpected events that require nighttime
visits by Verizon's technical operations staff. The proposed light must be adjustable
to illuminate various parts of the compound for safety reasons. However, it will not
be turned on nightly and will be located well below the treetops which will provide
natural shielding from the light shining skyward during any relatively short periods
of emergency maintenance.
(c) Ground Equipment: Proposed equipment consisting of the base station cabinets, H-
Frame stand and generator will be placed in a location that is screened from offsite
views by the surrounding trees, and a wooden fence will also be installed to help
fortify the existing screening elements that are offered to this site. Any portions of
equipment that are visible above the screening fence will be painted to match the
tower and blend into the wooded area.
(d) Whip Antenna: No whip antennas are currently proposed with this application.
(e) Grounding Rod: The proposed grounding rod to be mounted at the top of this
monopole will comply with the County's suing requirements for a maximum of Two
(2)feet in length and one (1) inch in diameter.
2. Antennas and associated equipment:
(a) Number of arrays: Vernon will use a mounting collar and mounting frames that will
allow all six (6) of the necessary antennas to be installed in a single array within
three (3) horizontally separated sectors at the same height. This antenna array will
be centerline mounted at the 90 foot AGL level(864'AMSL), with the (2) antennas
grouped in each sector to support the combination of the licensed Cellular, PCS,
LTE, and AWS frequencies all at one mounting level on the monopole. Other
supporting devices that consist of six (6) remote radio heads and two (2)fiber optic
surge protection boxes will be placed below the antenna array at heights that are not
expected to be visible from the adjacent properties or any distant off-site views.
(b) Size: The antennas initially to be installed in Vernon's array are identified as
Commscope Model Number: NHH-65C-R2B[96.0"(H)x 11.9"(W)x 7.1" (D),
SP202000012 Scruby Property—Verizon Wireless Tier Ill PWSF
Verizon Wireless—Scruby Property-Tier Ill
Personal Wireless Service Facility
equaling 1,142.40 square inches]. Specific equipment will likely change over the life
of the PWSF as technology advances.
(c) Projection: The antennas are proposed to be mounted with 18" between the face of
the monopole and the backs of the antennas, and no need for physical down-tilting.
Therefore, Veri:on is also requesting approval of a Special Exception to modify
Section 5.1.40.6(2)(c) of the Zoning Ordinance which allows maximum distances of
12"to 18" between the face of the monopole and the back of the antennas when
down-tilting is employed.
(d) Color: All antennas will be painted the same Java Brown color as the proposed
monopole.
3. Tree Conservation Plan,Content:
The locations of proposed tree protection fencing are shown on the Erosion & Sediment
Control& Grading Plan Sheet ES-1. Prior to the approval of a building permit, Veri:on
will also provide a tree conservation plan that has been prepared by a Certified Arborist.
As standard practice, the designated arborist will not issue a written conservation plan
letter until after they have had the chance to review Veri:on's Final Construction
Drawings/Site Plan and visit the site. The final issued letters often provide
recommendations for any post-construction tree care techniques in addition to granting
approval for app proposed land disturbance techniques, vegetation protection fencing
locations, and other design elements that might affect the health of trees that surround
this site.
4. Creation of slopes steeper than 2:1.
Upon the completion of this project, none of the remaining slopes will be greater than 2:1
as a result of construction and land disturbing activities for the proposed facility.
5. Ground equipment shelter;fencing.
Veri:on is proposing the installation of a 10-foot (10) tall wood fence in order to prevent
trespassing. The location and design details of the proposed screening fence are
provided in the construction drawings/site plan being submitted with this application.
6. Screening and siting to minimize visibility.
The monopole will be located 36.10' from the right-of-way line for Greenwood Station
Road(Route 690) and 38.10' from the 1-64 Interstate right-of-way. There are numerous
mature trees along the north and west property line that will screen views of the
monopole from the road and adjacent properties. A total of nine (9) trees will need to be
removed to allow for the installation of the PWSF and related access.
7. Open space plan resources.
The PWSF is located along the 1-64 interstate right-of-way but the numerous mature
trees located along the right-of-way will screen the view of the monopole's location. In
addition, the PWSF is also located within the Greenwood-Afton Rural Historic District
(DHR ID #0088-5075) which covers an area of approximately 16,300 acres. The PWSF
SP202000012 Scruby Property—Verizon Wireless Tier Ill PWSF
Verizon Wireless—Scruby Property-Tier iii
Personal Wireless Service Facility
location was chosen due to its location close to the 1-64 interstate and the ability by
VZW to locate the structure on a vacant wooded lot to minimize any impact to historical
structures or uses.
8. Horizontal separation of multiple facilities.
This facility will be the first facility on the property and therefore this provision is
inapplicable.
9. Diameter of monopole
As indicated in the attached construction drawings, Verizon's proposed monopole will be
designed and constructed so that it is 30 inches at its base and tapers to 18 inches at its
top.
10. Height of Monopole
At 94'foot tall(868 feet Above Mean Sea Level-AMSL), the proposed monopole will be
10 feet above the top elevation of the reference tree, which is identified as a 12"diameter
oak tree that is 83' (858 feet AMSL).
11. Color of monopole, antennas, and equipment.
The monopole and all antennas will be painted Sherwin Williams Java Brown #6090, a
color that has been applied to a number of treetop PWSF monopoles in Albemarle
County. All of the base station equipment that is installed to support this facility will also
be painted the same color and enclosed behind a ten foot (10) wooden security fence.
12. Placement of cables, wires, and similar attachments.
The proposed monopole will be designed and constructed to contain all of Verizon
Wireless's coaxial and fiber optic cables that will run from the ground equipment to all
antennas and their supporting devices.
Section 5.1.40(c)—Applicability of other regulations in this chapter(Items 1-6):
1. Building site exemption.
Verizon acknowledges this exemption from the standard building site requirements for
PWSF.
2. Vehicular access.
Verizon will utilize Greenwood Station Road and the existing gravel access off of the
public right-of-way to access the property.
3. Setbacks.
Verizon has selected a location for this proposed monopole facility will be located 36.10'
feet from the right-of-way line for Greenwood Station Road(Route 690) and 38.10 from
the 1-64 Interstate right-of-way. The PWSF is located 108'from the adjacent property
line shared with Parcel ID #05500-00-00-01500.
4. Area, bulk, and minimum yards.

Personal Wireless Service Facility
Veri_on acknowledges this exemption that allows relief to PWSF from the standard area,
bulk, and minimum yard requirements.
5. Required yards.
Verizon acknowledges this exemption that allows relief to PWSF from the required yard
standards.
6. Site plan.
Please refer to the attached construction drawings with site plan details and the
specification sheets for proposed antennas and equipment that all demonstrate
compliance with the Tier III PWSF criteria, set forth in Section 5.1.40(a)(4) —Plans and
Supporting Documents. Any other supporting information that is deemed relevant to the
requirements set forth in Section 32 of the.oning ordinance for site plans can be
submitted upon request.
Compliance with Section 33.40 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance
Section 33.40(B)—Factors to be Considered for Special Use Permits
In acting on a special use permit, the Board shall consider the following factors, provided that the
Board is not required to make specific findings in support of its actions.
1. No substantial detriment:
This proposal meets all the design criteria for a Tier 11 PWSF currently required by
Section 5.1.40 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The property is screened by a
buffer of mature trees that will screen the facility from adjacent properties and the 1-64
interstate. The PWSF is unmanned(no water and sewer) and only requires monthly trips
by a technician to maintain the facility, therefore impacts to public facilities and
infrastructure will be minimal. The property does not contain steep slopes or foodplains
nor will the proposed development create any steep slopes greater than 2:I. Lastly, the
PWSF will not require any lighting on the structure or emit noise or odors which would
affect any adjacent property owner's quiet enjoyment of their property.
2. Character of the nearby area is unchanged:
The area surrounding this facility is a mix of rural residential with large parcels being
used for agricultural purposes. Only nine (9) trees on the property are scheduled to be
removed by the installation of this PWSF and their removal will not affect any views from
adjacent properties as an already existing mature buffer currently exists.
3. Harmony:
The RA (Rural Area) district was established to preserve agricultural and forestall land
activities, water supply protection and conservation of natural, scenic, and historic
resources. Per Section 10.2.1 —By Right Uses allowed include residential, commercial,
and outdoor uses including Tier 1 and Tier 11 PWSF(10.2.1(22)). The proposed facility
meets the design criteria of a Tier 11 facility, except the property is located within the
Greemvood Afton Rural Historic District(DHR ID #0088-5075) and therefore within a
defined "Avoidance Area"causing it not to meet the definition of a Tier II PWSF. In
SP202000012 Scruby Property—Verizon Wireless Tier Ill PWSF
Verizon Wireless—Scruby Property-Tier ill
Personal Wireless Service Facility
addition, there are adjacent conservation easements located on Tax Map ("TMP') 55-15
& 71-2B (Seven Oaks Farm—ALB-00860), TMP 54-74E (Mirador Farm—ALB-00933),
TMP 70-15E(PRF20140002), TMP 70-15D (PRF20140001), TMP 55-13A & TMP55-
12E& TMP 55-12 (ALB-02266), TMP 55-21 & TMP 55-81 & TMP 55-80 (ALB-0822),
TMP 55-12B& TMP 55-20A & TMP 55-20& TMP 55-16B (ALB-01370), and TMP 54-
74F& TMP 54-20 & TMP 70-4 (ALB-00741). These easements seek to protect the open
and scenic views, as well as visibility from neighboring properties also currently under
conservation easements. A mature tree buffer on the associated property along with
those on neighboring properties will adequately screen the facility from adjacent
properties and those traveling within the Historic District. The Applicant advised Justin
Altice of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) about the details of the project, and
Mr. Altice provided the Applicant and the County staff with the six (6) VOF deeds for the
easements in the area. Though the Applicant invited VOF to the balloon test, VOF
responded that review is conducted by County staff, and VOF would not be reviewing the
proposed facility. Two easements are held by the County in the ACE program.
4. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
Per the adopted Albemarle County 2015 Comprehensive Plan calls for the preservation
of the county's historic, archeological, and cultural resources within the Rural Areas.
The PWSF meets the criteria for a Tier II facility required by the Albemarle County
Zoning Ordinance and the mature tree buffer located along the property line will screen
the PWSF from adjacent properties and passing vehicles. In addition, the proposed
PWSF and ground based equipment will be painted brown which further will allow the
facility to blend within the natural environment.
Objective 10 of the Community Facilities Chapter 12 of the Comprehensive Plan is to
support the provision of private utilities, including wireless service when its provision is
in keeping with other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. This proposed site supports
this objective and is consistent with Strategy 10e as the proposed facility has been sited
and designed in accordance with the County's Personal Wireless Service Facilities
Policy.
Conclusion
Approval of this PWSF application will contribute to the expansion of Verizon's coverage to the
Rural Areas, existing and future residents and businesses as well as travelers on the I-64
interstate. This facility will also help to reinforce network capacity and relieve some of the high
levels of traffic that has been experienced at the neighboring network locations. The monopole
tower serving this PWSF will meet the County's design preferences for monopoles that extend
just above the treetops with dark brown finishes and well-screened base station compounds.
Therefore, Verizon is confident that the proposed PWSF will meet the design criteria necessary
for approval of a Tier III Facility, and that is does not conflict with any of the goals and
objectives set forth in the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan.
