Dear Mr. MacPherson:
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on August 20, 1997, approved the

portion of 79 acres. Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. Tower height shall not exceed ISO feet. The tower shall be designed to allow an increase
in height up to 199 feet. Any increase in height above 150 feet shall require amendment
of this permit.
2. Compliance with Section 5.1.12 of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. There shall be no lighting of the tower unless required by a federal agency. All tower
lighting shall be shielded so as to minimize visibility from the ground.
4. Staff approval of additional antennae installation. No administrative approval shall
constitute or imply support for or approval of, the location of additional towers, antennae,
etc., even if they may be part of the same network or system as any antennae
administratively approved under this section.
5. The tower must be designed and adequate separation provided to property lines such that
in the event of structural failure the tower and components will remain within the lease
