PROPOSAL:
This is a proposal to install a Tier II personal wireless service treetop facility A
The proposed facility consists of a 77 -foot tall steel monopole, painted with Sherwin Williams
Java Brown, which is a matte enamel color that has been previously approved as an appropriate
color for Tier II facilities at other sites in Albemarle County. The top elevation of the monopole
is 753 feet, measured above mean sea level (AMSL). The proposed monopole will be 10 feet
higher than the identified reference tree located 20.9 feet from the monopole. The monopole will
be equipped with three (3) flush- mounted antennas, a two (2) foot long lightning rod, and coaxial
cables that will be run within the monopole's interior. Supporting ground equipment will be
contained within a prefabricated equipment shelter measuring 12' x 30'x 10.58' (W x L x H) at
the base of the tower. This shelter will be surrounded by a six -foot tall screening fence which
will also be painted matte brown.
The lease area for the proposed facility is located on property described as Tax Map 41, Parcel
28, which is approximately 20.18 acres and is zoned RA, Rural Areas (At ( ;! !it 11 ail 11). The site
is located on 4605 Garth Road (State Route 614) approximately 1133 feet east of the intersection
of State Route 614 and State Route 810.

STAFF COMMENT:
Section 3.1 provides the following definitions that are relevant to this proposal:
Tier II personal wireless service A personal wireless service facility that is a treetop
facility not located within an avoidance area.
Trcetop A personal wireless service facility consisting of a self - supporting monopole
having a single shaft of wood, metal or concrete no more than ten (10) feet taller than the crown
of the tallest tree within twenty -five (25) feet of the monopole, measured above sea level (ASL),
and includes associated antennas, mounting structures, an equipment cabinet and other essential
personal wireless service equipment.
Avoidance area: An area having significant resources where the siting of personal wireless
service facilities could result in adverse impacts as follows: (1) any ridge area where a personal
wireless service facility would be skylighted; (ii) a parcel within an agricultural and forestal
district; (iii) a parcel within a historic district; (iv) any location in which the proposed personal
wireless service facility and three (3) or more existing or approved personal wireless service
facilities would be within an area comprised of a circle centered anywhere on the ground having
a radius of two hundred (200) feet; or (v) any location within two hundred (200) feet of any state
scenic highway or by -way.
Section 5.1.40(d), "Tier II facilities" states:
Each Tier H /acility may be established upon commission approval of an application satisfying
the requirements of subsection 5.1.40(a) and demonstrating that the hill be installed and
operated in compliance with all applicable provisions of this chapter, criteria (1) through (8)
below, and satisfying all conditions of the architectural review board. The commission shall act
on each application within the tinie periods established in section 32.4.2.6. The commission
shall approve each application, without conditions, once it determines that all of these
requirements have been satisfied. If the commission denies an application, it shall identify which
requirements " not satisfied and inform the applicant vi needs to be done to satisfy each
requirement. "
The applicant has submitted an application that satisfies the requirements set forth in Section
5.1.40(a) and has performed a balloon test at the location of the proposed facility (: llachll),
Section 5.1.40(d)(1): The facility shall comply with subsection 5.1.40(b) and subsection
5.1.40(c)(2) through (9).
Staff has determined that the proposed facility's location complies with all of the exemptions of
Section 5.1.40(b) and the proposed equipment meets all relevant design, mounting and size
criteria that are set forth in Section 5.1.40(c)(2) and (3). The remainder of subsection (c)
provides requirements that are subject to enforcement if the facility is approved.
3
Section 5.1.40(d)(2): The site shall proyidc adequate opportunities for screening and the facility
shall be sited to minimize its visibility .toms adjacent parcels and streets, regardless of their
distancc from the facility. If the, facility would be visible from a state scenic river or a national
park or national regardless of tirhether the site is adjacent thereto, thc also shall
be sited to minimize its visibility from such river, park or forest. If the facility would be located
on lands subject to a conservation easement or an open space easement, the shall be
sited to so that it is not visible fi -onu any resources specifically identified protection in the
deed of easement.
The proposed facility includes a monopole that would have a height of approximately 753 feet
above mean sea level (AMSL). The height of the reference tree is approximately 743 feet above
mean sea level AMSL and is located within 25 of feet of the proposed monopole. A balloon test
was conducted on November 8, 2007. The balloon was flown at a height of 10 feet above the
reference tree. The balloon was not visible from State Route 614 (Lath Road). The balloon was
minimally visible from the State Route 810. When it was visible, it was seen through trees and it
was skylighted. It was visible for a very short period of time when traveling along State Route
810. The blue color of the balloon made it more noticeable than a brown pole would be. The
pole, in the location and at the height of the balloon that was flown, is not expected to have a
major visual impact
Based on the information above, it is staff's opinion that the proposed facility will be minimally
visible from adjacent parcels and streets.
Section 5.1.40(d)(3): The_facility shall not adversely impact resources identified in the countv's
open space plan.
Staff analysis of this request addresses the concern for the possible loss of aesthetic or historic
resources. The proposed lease area is not delineated as a significant resource on the Open Space
Plan Map. However, the installation of this tower within the 2,500 square foot lease area will
require the removal of two existing trees. An arborist report and a tree conservation plan will be
required to show measures being taken to protect the remaining trees.
The County's wireless service facilities policy encourages facilities with limited visibility,
facilities with adequate wooded backdrop, and facilities that do not adversely impact Avoidance
Areas (including Entrance Corridors and historic resources). The proposed pole is expected to
be visible for a relatively short period of time when traveling on State Route 810. The degree of
visibility is not expected to have a major impact on surrounding properties based on these
findings. Staff feels the visibility of the monopole will not adversely impact the open space plan
resources.
Section 5.1.40(d)(4): The facility shall not be located so that it and three (3) or more existing or
approved personal wireless servicc facilities would be within an area comprised of a circle
centered anywhere on the ground having a radius of tii hundred (200) feet.
There is no other existing personal wireless service facility located within an area comprised of a
circle centered anywhere on the ground having a radius of two hundred (200) feet.
M
Section 5.1.40(d)(5): The maximum base diameter of the monopole shall be thirty (30) inches
and the maximum diameter at the top of the monopole shall be eighteen (18) inches.
Notes on the construction plans for this facility propose a monopole that will have a maximum
base dimension of 30 inches and a maximum dimension of 18 inches at the top. These
dimensions comply with the maximum width requirements for treetop monopoles serving Tier II
facilities.
Section 5.1.40(d)(6): The top of the monopole, measured in elevation above mean sea level,
shall not exceed the height approved by the commission. The approved height shall not be more
than seven (7) feet taller than the tallest tree tivithin twenty -five (25) of the monopole, and
shall include anv base, foundation or grading that raises the pole above the pi•c- existing natural
ground elevation; provided that the height approved by the commission may be up to ten (10)
feet taller than the tallest tree if the otivner of the,facility demonstrates to the satisfaction of'the
commission that there is not a material difference in the visibility of the monopole at the
proposed height, rather than at a height seven (7), feet taller than the tallest tree; and there is not
a material difference in adverse impacts to resources identified in the county's open space plan
caused by the monopole at the proposed height, rather than at a height seven (7) feet taller than
the tallest tree. The applicant may appeal the commissioner's denial of a modification to the
board ofsupervisors as provided in subsection 5.1.40(d)(13).
As mentioned previously in this report, the proposed monopole would have a height of
approximately 753 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The height of the reference tree is
approximately 743 above mean sea level (AMSL). The proposed monopole will be (10) feet
taller than the tallest tree within twenty -five (25) feet (measured at the dripline). The height
approved by the Planning Commission may be up to ten (10) feet taller than the tallest tree if the
owner of the facility demonstrates to the satisfaction of the commission that there is not a
material difference in the visibility of the monopole at the proposed 10 feet above the tallest tree.
Based on the balloon test mentioned above, staff determined that there would be little or no
material difference in the visibility of the monopole at the proposed height (10) feet, rather than
at a height of 7 feet taller than the tallest tree.
Section 5.1.40(d)(7): Each wood monopole shall be a dark bronvn natural tivood color; each
metal or concrete monopole shall be painted a broivn tivood color to blend into the surrounding
trees. The antennas, supporting brackets, and all other equipment attached to the monopole
shall be a color that closely matches that of the monopole. The ground equipment, the ground
equipment cabinet, and the concrete pad shall also be a color that closely matches that of the
monopole, provided that the ground equipment and the concrete pad need not be of'such a color
if they are enclosed within or behind an approved structure, f t(ade or_ fencing that: (i) is a color
that closely matches that of the monopole; (ii) is consistent with the character of the area; and
iii) makes the ground equipment and concrete pad invisible at anv time of' vear anv other
parcel or a public or private street.
The applicant is proposing the installation of a facility with a metal monopole. The proposed
color for the tower and screening fence is a brown paint that has been previously used and
approved in Albemarle County. A note on the construction plans identifies the proposed brown
color of the antennae and ground equipment for this facility as Sherwin Williams Matte "Java
5
Brown" #6090.
Section 5.1.40(d)(8): Each wood monopole shall be constructed so that all cables, wiring and
similar attachments that run vertically front the ground equipment to the antennas are placed on
the pole to face the interior of the property and ativay f - om public view, as determined by the
agent. Metal monopoles shall be constructed so that vertical cables, wiring and sitnilar
attachments are contained within the monopole's structure.
Schematic drawings provided in the construction plan packet indicate that the vertical wires
extending from the ground equipment to the antennas shall be contained within the monopole
structure.
Section 704(a)(7)(b)(I)(II) of The Telecommunications A of 1996
This application is subject to the Teleconrntunications Act of'1996, which provides in part that
the regulation of the placement, construction, and tnodification ofpersonal wireless set
facilities by anv State or local government or instrumentality thereof (I) shall not unreasonably
discriminate among providers of fitnctionally equivalent services; (H) shall not prohibit or have
the effect of prohibiting the provision ofpersonal tivireless services. 47 U.S.C.
The Telecommunications Act addresses concerns for environmental effects with the following
language, "No state or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement,
construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the
environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with
the Commissions' regulations concerning such emissions." In order to operate the proposed
facility, the applicant is required to meet the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions.
These requirements will adequately protect the public health and safety.
It is staff s opinion that the denial of this application would not have the effect of prohibiting the
provision of personal wireless communication services.
SUMMARY
Staff has identified factors which are favorable and unfavorable to this proposal:
Factors favorable to this request include:
1. The lease area for the ground equipment and monopole is not located on critical slopes
or other significant features identified in the Open Space Plan.
2. The design of the facility has minimal visual impact.
Factors unfavorable to this request include:
None identified.

PRIOR TO SEEDING, INSTALL NECESSARY CONTROL PRACTICES SUCH AS
DIKES, WATERWAYS AND BASINS.
PLANT SELECTION
SELECT PLANTS APPROPRIATE TO THE SEASON AND SITE CONDITIONS FROM
TABLES 3.
31 -b AND 3.
31 -C. NOTE THAT TABLE 3.
31 -13 PRESENTS PLANTS
WHICH CAN BE USED WITHOUT EXTENSIVE EVALUATION OF SITE CONDITIONS;
TABLE 3.
31 -0 PRESENTS MORE IN -DEPTH INFORMATION ON THE PLANT
MATERIALS.
SEEDED PREPARATION
TO CONTROL EROSION ON BASE SOIL SURFACES. PLANTS MUST BE ABLE TO
GERMINATE AND GROW. SEED BED PREPARATION IS ESSENTIAL.
1. LIMING
AN ELEVATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE IF LIME IS NECESSARY
FOR TEMPORARY SEEDING. IN MOST SOILS, IT TAKES UP TO 6 MONTHS FOR
pH ADJUSTMENT TO OCCUR FOLLOWING THE APPLICATION OF LIME,
THEREFORE, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO JUSTIFY THE COST OF LIMING A
TEMPORARY SITE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SOIL WILL LATER BE MOVED AND
REGRADED. THE FOLLOWING TABLE MAY BE USED TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL
NEED ALONG WITH SUGGESTED APPLICATION RATES.

OR EQUIVALENT NUTRIENTS. LINE AND FERTILIZER SHALL BE INCORPORATED
INTO THE TOP 2 TO 4 INCHES OF THE SOIL IF POSSIBLE.
MULCHING
1. SEEDING MADE IN FALL FOR WINTER COVER AND DURING HOT AND DRY
SUMMER MONTHS SHALL BE MULCHED ACCORDING TO MULCHING, STD, AND
SPEC. 3.
35 EXCEPT THAT HYDROMULCHES (FIBER MULCH) WILL NOT BE
CONSIDERED ADEQUATE. STRAW MULCH SHOULD BE USED DURING THESE
PERIODS.
2. TEMPORARY SEEOINGS MADE UNDER FAVORABLE SOIL AND SITE CONDITIONS
DURING OPTIMUM SPRING AND FALL SEEDING DATES MAY REQUIRE MULCH.
B. PERMANENT SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS
PLANT SELECTION
1. SELECTION OF PLANT MATERIALS IS BASED ON CLIMATE, TOPOGRAPHY,
SOILS, LAND USE, AND PLANTING SEASON. TO DETERMINE WHICH PLANT
MATERIALS ARE BEST ADAPTED TO A SPECIFIC SITE, USE TABLES 3.
32 -
A
AND 3.
32 -

32 -8 FOR
RECOMMENDED VARIETIES.
3. A MORE EXTENSIVE DESCRIPTION OF PLANT MATERIALS (GRASSES AND
LEGUMES), THEIR USAGE AND PICTORIAL REPRESENTAION CAN BE FOUND IN
APPENDIX 3.
32 -
c.
4, WHEN USING SOME VARIETIES OF TURFGRASSES, THE VIRGINIA CROP
IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION (VCIA) RECOMMENDED TURFGRASS MIXTURES MAY
ALSO BE USED. CONSUMER PROTECTION PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN DEVISED TO
IDENTIFY QUALIFY SEED OF THE VARIETIES RECOMMENDED BY THE VIRGINIA
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE. THESE WILL BEAR A LABEL INDICATING
THAT THEY ARE APPROVED BY THE ASSOCIATION. MIXTURES MAY BE
DESIGNED FOR A SPECIFIC PHYSIOGRAPHIC REGION OR BASED ON INTENDED
USE. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO PLANT CHARACTERISTICS,
PERFORMANCE, ETC.
LIME AND FERTILIZER
LIME AND FERTILIZER NEEDS SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY SOIL TESTS. SOIL
TESTS MAY BE PERFORMED BY THE COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE SOIL
TESTING LABORATORY AT VPI & SU, OR BY A REPUTABLE COMMERCIAL
LABORATORY. INFORMATION CONCERNING THE STATE SOIL TESTING
LABORATORY IS AVAILABLE FROM COUNTY EXTENSION AGENTS. REFERENCE

APPLICANT Cellco Partnership D /B /A Verizon Wireless
PROPOSAL:
This is a proposal to install a Tier 11 personal wireless service treetop facility
The proposed facility consists of a 77 -foot tall steel monopole, painted with Sherwin Williams
Java Brown, which is a matte enamel color that has been previously approved as an appropriate
color for Tier II facilities at other sites in Albemarle County. The top elevation of the monopole
is 753 feet, measured above mean sea level (AMSL). The proposed monopole will be 10 feet
higher than the identified reference tree located 20.9 feet from the monopole. The monopole will
be equipped with three (3) flush- mounted antennas, a two (2) foot long lightning rod, and coaxial
cables that will be run within the monopole's interior. Supporting ground equipment will be
contained within a prefabricated equipment shelter measuring 12' x 30'x 10.58' (W x L x H) at
the base of the tower. This shelter will be surrounded by a six -foot tall screening fence which
will also be painted matte brown.
The lease area for the proposed facility is located on property described as Tax Map 41, Parcel
28, which is approximately 20.18 acres and is zoned RA, Rural Areas t;4tta 1m ici)t 13). The site

STAFF COMMENT:
Section 3.1 provides the following definitions that are relevant to this proposal:
Tier II personal wireless service facility: A personal wireless service facility that is a treetop
facility not located within an avoidance area.
Treetop_facility: A personal wireless service facility consisting of a self - supporting monopole
having a single shaft of wood, metal or concrete no more than ten (10) feet taller than the crown
of the tallest tree within twenty -five (25) feet of the monopole, measured above sea level (ASL),
and includes associated antennas, mounting structures, an equipment cabinet and other essential
personal wireless service equipment.
Avoidance area: An area having significant resources where the siting of personal wireless
service facilities could result in adverse impacts as follows: (i) any ridge area where a personal
wireless service facility would be skylighted; (ii) a parcel within an agricultural and forestal
district; (iii) a parcel within a historic district; (iv) any location in which the proposed personal
wireless service facility and three (3) or more existing or approved personal wireless service
facilities would be within an area comprised of a circle centered anywhere on the ground having
a radius of two hundred (200) feet; or (v) any location within two hundred (200) feet of any state
scenic highway or by -way.
Section 5.1.40(d), "Tier 11 facilities" states:
Each Tier II niav be established upon coniniission approval gfan application satisffirtg
the requirements of'subsection 5.1.40(a) and demonstrating that the facility will be installed and
operated in compliance with all applicable provisions of this chapter, criteria (1) through (H)
below, and satisfting all conditions of the architectural review board. The commission shall act
on each application within the time periods established in section 32.4.2.6. The commission
shall approve each application, without conditions, once it determines that all of these
requirements have been satisfied. Ifthe connnission denies an application, it shall identify which
requirements tiwre not satisfied and inform the applicant what needs to be done to satisfy each
requirement. "
The applicant has submitted an application that satisfies the requirements set forth in Section
5.1.40(a) and has performed a balloon test at the location of the proposed facility
C).
Section 5.1.40(d)(1): The facility shall comply with subsection 5.1.40(b) and subsection
5.1.40(c)(2) through (9).
Staff has determined that the proposed facility's location complies with all of the exemptions of
Section 5.1.40(b) and the proposed equipment meets all relevant design, mounting and size
criteria that are set forth in Section 5.1.40(c)(2) and (3). The remainder of subsection (c)
provides requirements that are subject to enforcement if the facility is approved.

Section 5.1.40(4)(2): The site shall provide adequate oppor'tuniticS for screening and the facility
shall be sited to minimize its visibilitv.f °orn adjacent parcels and streets, regardless of their
distance from the If the would be visible a state scenic river or a national
park or national forest, regardless of whether the site is adjacent thereto, the, facility also shall
be sited to minintLe its visibility ftont such river, park or,forest. If the, facility would be located
on lands subject to a conservation casement or an open space easement, the shall be
sited to so that it is not visible_1rom any resources specifically identified protection in the
deed of easement.
The proposed facility includes a monopole that would have a height of approximately 753 feet
above mean sea level (AMSL). The height of the reference tree is approximately 743 feet above
mean sea level AMSL and is located within 25 of feet of the proposed monopole. A balloon test
was conducted on November 8, 2007. The balloon was flown at a height of 10 feet above the
reference tree. The balloon was not visible from State Route 614 (Lath Road). The balloon was
minimally visible from the State Route 810. When it was visible, it was seen through trees and it
was skylighted. It was visible for a very short period of time when traveling along State Route
810. The blue color of the balloon made it more noticeable than a brown pole would be. The
pole, in the location and at the height of the balloon that was flown, is not expected to have a
major visual impact
Based on the information above, it is staffs opinion that the proposed facility will be minimally
visible from adjacent parcels and streets.
Section 5.1.40(d)(3): The facility shall not adversely impact resources identified in the countv's
open space plan.
Staff's analysis of this request addresses the concern for the possible loss of aesthetic or historic
resources. The proposed lease area is not delineated as a significant resource on the Open Space
Plan Map. However, the installation of this tower within the 2,500 square foot lease area will
require the removal of two existing trees. An arborist report and a tree conservation plan will be
required to show measures being taken to protect the remaining trees.
The County's wireless service facilities policy encourages facilities with limited visibility,
facilities with adequate wooded backdrop, and facilities that do not adversely impact Avoidance
Areas (including Entrance Corridors and historic resources). The proposed pole is expected to
be visible for a relatively short period of time when traveling on State Route 810. The degree of
visibility is not expected to have a major impact on surrounding properties based on these
findings. Staff feels the visibility of the monopole will not adversely impact the open space plan
resources.
Section 5.1.40(d)(4): The, facility shall not be located so that it and three (3) or more existing or
approved personal wireless ser vice facilities would be within an area comprised of 'a circle
centered anywhere on the ground having a radius of two hundred (200)
There is no other existing personal wireless service facility located within an area comprised of a
circle centered anywhere on the ground having a radius of two hundred (200) feet.
M
Section 5.1.40(d)(5): The maximrun base diameter of the monopole shall be thirty (30) inches
and the niaximuni diameter at the top of the monopole shall be eighteen (18) inches.
Notes on the construction plans for this facility propose a monopole that will have a maximum
base dimension of 30 inches and a maximum dimension of 18 inches at the top. These
dimensions comply with the maximum width requirements for treetop monopoles serving Tier I
facilities.
Section 5.1.40(d)(6): The top of the monopole, measured in elevation above mean sea Icvcl,
shall not exceed the height approved by the cornniission. The approved height shall not be more
than seven (7) feet taller than the tallest tree vi twenty five (?S) of the monopole, and
shall include anv base, foundation or grading that raises the pole above the pre- existing natural
ground elevation; provided that the height approved by the commission ntav be up to tell (10)
feet taller than the tallest tree if the owner of the facility demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
conunission that there is not a material difference in the visibility of the monopole at the
proposed height, rather than at a height seven (7) feet taller than the tallest tree; and there is not
a material difference in adverse impacts to resources idefitgicd in the county's open space plan
caused by the nonopole at the proposed height, rather than at a height seven (7),feet taller than
the tallest tree. The applicant niav appeal the coniniissioner's denial of a modification to the
board of supervisors as provided in subsection 5.1.40(d)(1').
As mentioned previously in this report, the proposed monopole would have a height of
approximately 753 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The height of the reference tree is
approximately 743 above mean sea level (AMSL). The proposed monopole will be (10) feet
taller than the tallest tree within twenty -five (25) feet (measured at the dripline). The height
approved by the Planning Commission may be up to ten (10) feet taller than the tallest tree if the
owner of the facility dernonstrates to the satisfaction of the commission that there is not a
material difference in the visibility of the monopole at the proposed 10 feet above the tallest tree.
Based on the balloon test mentioned above, staff determined that there would be little or no
material difference in the visibility of the monopole at the proposed height (10) feet, rather than
at a height of 7 feet taller than the tallest tree.
Section 5.1.40(d)(7): Each rrood monopole shall be a dark brown natural ra color; each
metal or concrete monopole shall be painted a brown wood color to blend into the surrounding
trees. The antennas, supporting brackets, and all other equipment attached to the monopole
shall be a color that closely matches that of the monopole. The ground equipment, the ground
equipment cabinet, and the concrete pad shall also be a color that closcly matches that of the
monopole, provided that the ground equipment and the concrete pad need not be of such a color
if they are enclosed within or behind an approveded structure,. Cade or fincing that: (i) is a color
that closely matches that of the monopole; (ii) is consistent with the character of the area; and
iii) makes the ground equipment and concrete pad invisible at arty time of Year, f-om any other
parcel or a public or private street.
The applicant is proposing the installation of a facility with a metal monopole. The proposed
color for the tower and screening fence is a brown paint that has been previously used and
approved in Albemarle County. A note on the construction plans identities the proposed brown
5
color of the antennae and ground equipment for this facility as Sherwin Williams Matte "Java
Brown" #6090.
Section 5.1.40(d)(8): Each wood monopole shall be constructed so that all cables, wiring and
similar attachments that run vertically ft•oni the ground equipment to the antennas are placed oil
the pole to the interior of the property and atiyay public vietii as determined by the
agent. Metal monopoles shall be constructed so that vertical cables, miring and similar
attachments are contained within the inonopole's structure.
Schematic drawings provided in the construction plan packet indicate that the vertical wires
extending from the ground equipment to the antennas shall be contained within the monopole
structure.
Section 704(a)(7)(b)(1)(11) of The Telecommunications Act of 1996
This application is subject to the Telecommtntications Act of] 996, which provides in part that
the regulation of the placement, construction, and tnodification ofpersonal wireless service
facilities by any State or local government or instrumentality thereof (I) shall not unreasonably
discritninate among providers of finzctionally equivalent services; (H) shall trot prohibit or have
the effect ofprohibiting the provision ofpcisonal wireless services. 47 U.S.C.
The Telecommunications Act addresses concerns for environmental effects with the following
language, "No state or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement,
construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the
environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with
the Commissions' regulations concerning such emissions." In order to operate the proposed
facility, the applicant is required to meet the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions.
These requirements will adequately protect the public health and safety.
It is staffs opinion that the denial of this application would not have the effect of prohibiting the
provision of personal wireless communication services.
SUMMARY
Staff has identified factors which are favorable and unfavorable to this proposal:
Factors favorable to this request include:
1. The lease area for the ground equipment and monopole is not located on critical slopes
or other significant features identified in the Open Space Plan.
Factors unfavorable to this request include:
1. Two trees will be removed a 12" dead pine, and an 8" paradise to make room for access
to the tower location.
