The property (Tax Map Parcel 90 -35Y) contains approximately 5.78 acres and serves as Snow's Garden Center retail landscaping business. The applicant is proposing a 80.2 -foot metal pole with flush mounted antennas. As a result of its design in conformance with the requirements of the zoning ordinance, its careful siting within a grove of mature tall trees, and the partial use of an existing access road, the facility will be minimally visible and therefore will have no impact on the historic resources or structures within the district. The flush - mounted antenna and cables will be painted brown to blend in with the surroundings. The proposed pole is 10 feet above the reference tree which is a 68 -foot poplar within 25 feet of the proposed tower. Any lighting of the facility will be motion operated and for maintenance purposes only. Maintenance workers on average will visit the facility on a monthly basis to maintain and inspect the facility. The proposed personal wireless facility will be minimally visible from adjacent property. The majority of the pole and all of the ground equipment are obscured from the view of adjacent properties by the trees and vegetation in the area as well as being set on the back of the property to avoid view from the roadway. The proposed facility is a metal pole with the antenna and cables painted brown to match. This pole and painted equipment will enable the facility to blend with the surrounding area, including the numerous trees surrounding it, and reduce visibility. As a result of the minimized visibility, the proposed personal wireless facility will have no adverse impact on any surrounding historical structures, historical districts, or historical resources. The surrounding area is zoned Light Industrial, Rural Areas, RI Residential, and Planned Residential Development and includes a variety of uses such as farms, small businesses, planned and rural residential dwellings. Due to its design in conformance with the requirements of the zoning ordinances, its careful siting within a grove of mature tall trees at the back of the property, and the partial use of an existing access road, the facility proposed will have no impact on the character of the district surrounding the property. The proposed personal wireless facility has been designed in accordance with the provisions of Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance Section 5.1.40. The proposed facility is a metal pole, painted brown, with antennas flush mounted. The antenna, cables, and the ground equipment will be painted brown to reduce any visibility they may have and to blend with the surrounding area and the pole. The facility is sited within a grove of mature tall trees to minimize its M visibility from adjacent parcels, streets, and any historic resources in the area. The proposed monopole is 80.2 feet high which is 10 feet above the reference tree. This proposed personal wireless facility is also in accordance with the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan. This proposed personal wireless facility is intended to improve the public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the citizens of Albemarle County by improving the wireless communications coverage in the area for safety and convenience of the citizens and travelers in addition to improving the emergency services communications available. In addition, this facility has been carefully planned to minimize visibility, and thus any adverse impact on the surrounding area. The proposed facility will not have any adverse impacts on the uses permitted by right in the district, due to its design in conformance with the requirements of the zoning ordinance, its careful siting within a grove of mature tall trees, and the use of an existing access road. The facility will not emit noise or light (except during maintenance periods) and due to its minimal visibility it will be in harmony with the surrounding area and other by right uses in the district. This proposed personal wireless facility is in accordance with the Albemarle County's Personal Wireless Facility Policy (the "PWFP ") which is a component of the Comprehensive Plan. In accordance with the goals of the PWFP, the applicant is proposing a facility which is sited within a grove of mature tall trees and at a height of not more than ten (10) feet above the reference tree to minimize visibility. The applicant has carefully limited the size of the ground equipment to shield any possible view of the equipment. Further, the facility does not adversely impact any identified historic resources in the area. This proposed personal wireless facility is intended to improve the public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the citizens of Albemarle County by improving the emergency services communications available thereby improving the safety and welfare of the citizens. 7197184_1 DOC Application for '* � Site Development Plans and Site Plan Waiver A!' �RGINP SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANS SITE PLAN WAIVER ® Preliminary Site Development Plan (Subject to Planning Commission Review) ❑ Site Plan Waiver (Ordinance Section Number) = $270 ❑ Residential = $1,190 plus $13 /dwelling unit 8 folded copies of sketch plan are required a, Non - residential = $1,580 plus $13/1,000 sq. ft. of dev. 17 folded copies of plan are required ❑ Final Site Development Plan (Administrative Review) ❑ Residential= $410 ❑ Non - residential = $410 8 folded copies of plan are required for first submission OR ❑ Final Site Development Plan (Subject to Planning Commission Review) ❑ Prior to preliminary approval = $1,130 17 folded copies of plan are required ❑ After preliminary approval = $790 8 folded copies of plan are required for first submission Two (2) m lays and two (2) paper copies ofplan are re uired or sign in offinal plan GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT (Required for all non- residential site plans not serviced by public water) If the plans show a use less than 2,000 gallons per day ❑ Tier 3 Groundwater Review = $400 If the plans show a use greater than 2,000 gallons per day ❑ Tier 4 Groundwater Review = $1,000 Project Name: Mill Creek Dr. / Snow's Garden Center (AT &T CV 375) Tax map and parcel: 90 -35Y Magisterial District: Scottsville Zoning:Light Industry Physical Street Address (if assigned): 1879 Avon Street Extended, Charlottesville, VA 22902 Location of property (landmarks, intersections, or other): SVlDWS C CQ ab u A er ' uS SUU_+VL uv` Raw �k �xk o� Iv�te.ecq bvt tiF Scene C,� ee�c m� e4 Contact Person (Who should we call /write concerning this project ?)Kat her ine M.
