The Albemarle County Planning Division will approve the Tier II personal wireless service
facility referenced above once the following comments have been addressed. The following
comments are those that have been identified at this time. Comments may be added or eliminated
based on further review. [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Wireless
Ordinance of the Albemarle County Code, unless otherwise specified.]
1. [5.1.40(a)(1)]/[5.1.40(a)(3)] Completed application form /Signing authorization. The
application form is not signed by the parcel owner. Provide the signature of the parcel
owner to complete the application form or submit written evidence that the parcel
owner's agent may sign the application.
2. [5.1.40(a)(4)(g)] Setbacks. Note the side yard setback.
3. [5.1.40(b)(2)] Fall zone easement. A draft copy of a fall zone easement has been
provided as a miscellaneous submittal on May 9, 2012 during the balloon test. County
Attorney's review is pending.
4. [5.1.40(c)8] Critical Slopes. Critical slopes may not be disturbed in association with
installation of the wireless facility. A critical slopes waiver has been requested.
Review and a recommendation of approval by the County Engineer or designee to the
Board of Supervisors is required. The planner will also review the critical slopes
waiver request and provide a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Following
the Sinclair vs. County of Albemarle (Virginia State Supreme Court) case, Board of
Supervisors review and approval of the critical slopes waiver is required. Retaining
walls, revetments, and other stabilization measures employed must be acceptable to
the County Engineer and the Board of Supervisors. Review of the critical slopes
waiver is pending.
5. [5.1.40(d)] Tier II Review by the Planning Commission. Planning Commission review
of this wireless facility is pending. Obtain Planning Commission approval. Although
the parcel is located in the Entrance Corridors, the design planner for the
Architectural Review Board has no objections to this wireless facility since the tower
site is not located in the Entrance Corridors.
6. [5.1.40(d)(5)] Maximum diameter at the top of the monopole. The maximum diameter
at the top of the monopole must be 18 inches.
7. [5.1.40(d)(8)] Vertical cables, wiring, and similar attachments. On sheet C -3. a steel
monopole is replacing the existing wood monopole, so note #5 under General Notes
does not apply. Remove note #5 and replace it with a note that metal monopoles shall
be constructed so that vertical cables, wiring and similar attachments are contained
within the monopole's structure.
