Community Meeting
Dear Neighbor,
We, Verizon Wireless, invite you to share comments and ask questions regarding our request to
construct a 140-foot-tall monopole tower to be used as a Personal Wireless Facility. The facility
will include a lease area with ground equipment. The applicant has also requested a special
exception to allow the antenna to be mounted 18 inches from the face of the tower instead of 12
inches. The proposed facility is located adjacent to 1-64 approximately 750 feet east of where
Route 690 (Greenwood Station Road) crosses 1-64 on Tax Map/Parcel 05500-00-00-01400.
As part of the County's Special Use Permit application review process, Verizon has scheduled a
balloon test at the proposed site. A red balloon will be raised to the height of the proposed
monopole and remain up during the hours of 8:30am-11:OOam on Wednesday, June 15`h,
2022. In the event of rain or high wind, the test will be re -scheduled for Thursday, June 16`h,
2022 at the same time. During the balloon test, County staff and representatives of the
application will drive around the area to take photographs and evaluate visibility from public
roads and the photographs will be used to prepare photosimulations of the proposed monopole.
To help prevent the transmission of COVID-19, we invite you to ask questions and share
comments about the proposed project, County review procedures, and relevant regulations and
policies of the County applicable to the proposed project at a virtual community meeting. The
virtual meeting will be held through an online video stream on Thursday June 30`h, 2022 at
5:30pm.
