Re: SE202000027 Special Exception for Proposed Antenna Array at an
Existing Wireless Facility (1066 Goodwin Farm Lane)
TM P: 07500-00-00-00900
Magisterial District: Samuel Miller
School Districts: Monticello HS, Walton MS, Red Hill ES
Zoning District: RA Rural Areas
A special exception has been submitted by Crown Castle on behalf of AT&T, along with an
associated building permit application, to replace an existing array of three antennae with an
array of six antennae.
County Code § 18-5.1.40(a)(12) allows special exceptions to waive or modify the
requirements of County Code § 18-5.1.40 for personal wireless service facilities. This
request is to modify County Code § 18-5.1.40(b)(2)(c), which requires that antennas be
mounted so that the closest point of the back of the antenna be no more than 12 inches
from the facility and that the farthest point of the back of the antenna be no more than 18
inches from the facility.
Staff analysis of the requests is provided in Attachment A.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution
(Attachment E) approving the special exception with the following condition:
1. No antenna authorized by this special exception may project more than four (4) feet from
the face of the monopole to the farthest point of the back of the antenna.
