DESCRIPTION
TIER II PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICE FACILITY
VERIZON WIRELESS
JONES MILL" — TRACY - TEMPLE LP PROPERTY
Proiect Descrintion:
Cellco Partnership, operating as Verizon Wireless, respectfully requests approval to allo
installation of Tier I1 Personal Wireless Service Facility ( "PWSF" or "facility ") on a parcel with
an address of 2352 Holly Hill Farm and identified as Tax Map 40- Parcel 8 (the "Property "). The
Property contains 91.07 acres located in the Whitehall Magisterial District of Albemarle County.
The proposed PWSF facility will be contained within a 2,500 square foot lease area on the
Property and this site is located at an elevation of approximately 886 feet Above Mean Sea Level
AMSL). The proposed PWSF will include a metal monopole, with a top height of 69 feet above
ground level (955 feet AMSL) that will be fitted with three (3) flush - mounted antennas, a 2 -foot
long lightning rod and coaxial cables that will be run vertically inside the monopole. The ground -
based equipment will consist of transmitters and radios and a diesel powered emergency back -up
generator that will be housed inside of a prefabricated equipment shelter measuring 12' x 30' x
10.92' (W x L x H). The monopole and antennas will be painted with Sherwin Williams Java
Brown - #6090, which is a matte enamel color that has been previously approved as an
appropriate color for Tier 11 facilities at other sites in Albemarle County.
Network Obiectives:
Verizon Wireless recently secured a license from the Federal Communications Commission to
provide Personal Communications Services within a new market that includes the County of
Albemarle, City of Charlottesville and other surrounding counties. These services range from
phones with voice, data, text, video and GPS capabilities, to wireless broadband solutions for
personal and business computer systems. All phones and facilities operating on the Verizon
Wireless network will be compatible with the Enhanced 911 (E -91 1) emergency service that use
GPS and triangulation technology to help quickly identify the locations from where emergency
calls are being made.
Verizon Wireless does not currently offer any service options locally, providing limited services
within this market only to existing customers from other areas through roaming agreements with
another wireless carrier. There had been no opportunities for Verizon Wireless to offer the full
range of services until the FCC license was obtained.
Verizon Wireless has identified several sites throughout the market that will be integral to
establishing this service. Once all of the proposed sites are "on- air". Verizon Wireless will be
able to provide potentially seamless in- building, in -car and on- street coverage throughout the
market. By providing coverage within this market, it is Verizon Wireless' objective to ensure
that the full range of services will be available to existing customers, while also allowing an
additional, competitive option for access to wireless services by future customers.
The specific facility proposed with this application will establish in- building coverage for nearby
residents located in the area north of Crozet and south of Whitehall and it will also support in -car
coverage for customers traveling on Whitehall Road (State Route 810), by connecting its service
with the other nearby antenna including a recently approved site in Whitehall and a site planned
in the town of Crozet.
Verizon Wireless PWSF Page 1 Jones Mill (Tracy - Temple LP)
Character of the Area
The Property is zoned Rural Areas (RA). and each of the surrounding properties share the same
zoning designation. The proposed PWSF will not substantially impact the rural character of the
area due to the fact that this site is located within a heavily wooded area that will provide
camouflaging for the dark brown monopole and screen the ground equipment shelter from nearby
property lines.
Access to the proposed PWSF will be provided from the northern side of Bearwood Road (State
Route 81 1) using an existing farm road that currently provides access to the orchards on the
adjacent property (Tax Map 40 - Parcel 9) and runs parallel to the tree line of the wooded area
ou. vending the Site. lli order to allow sale access tG the site in c'xtrcinc wCatllCr Conditioih, tiir
road which is currently dirt surfaced will be graveled starting at the entrance and leading all the
way up to the facility. The PWSF will be located approximately 701 feet west of the nearest
property line and more than 600 feet west of the nearest off - property dwelling unit. This site is
located below and outside of the Mountain Resources District for Bucks Elbow Mountain, and
none of the resources that are identified as characterizing avoidance areas in Section 3.1
Definitions) of the zoning ordinance are present on the Property. However, some of the adjacent
and nearby properties lie within the Sugar Hollow Agricultural /Forestal District and are also held
under conservation easements.
Compliance with Section 5.1.40 of the Zoning Ordinance:
The County's specific design criteria for Tier 11 Facilities, set forth in Section 5.1.40(d), are
addressed as follows:
5.1.40(d)(1) - The facility shall comply with subsection 5.1.40(b) and subsections
5.1.40(c)(2) through (9).
Subsection 5.1.40(b ) (1 -5) The proposed PWSF will not meet the minimum required
tower setback distance, which is equal to 100% of the structure's height, from the
adjoining parcel identified as Tax Map 40 - Parcel 9. However, instead of obtaining a
separate fall -zone easement from the owners of that parcel, who are also the parents of
the owners of the subject property, Verizon Wireless will hold a lease with the owners of
both properties. The leased area on TMP 40/8 covers the PWSF site and the end of the
access road, while the lease on TMP 40/9 it for the main portion of the access road and
the fall -zone area of the tower. For the reasons cited above, Verizon Wireless is
requesting that the Planning Commission grant approval of a setback modification as
allowed by 4.10.3.1. There should be no concerns for the public health, safety or welfare
related to this request, because the owner of the adjacent parcel sharing a boundary where
the waiver is being requested will enter into the lease with Verizon Wireless, as
demonstrated with the limited power of attorney submitted with this application. This
will allow the family to cover all necessary agreements with Verizon Wireless with a
single document. The proposed facility meets the Rural Areas setback regulations and all
other area and bulk regulations and minimum yard requirements along all other adjoining
property lines.
The attached site drawings, antenna and equipment specifications are being provided to
demonstrate that the PWSF regulations and the relevant site plan requirements, as set
forth in Section 32 of the zoning ordinance, will also be met with this application.
Subsection 5.1.40(c)(2) The proposed monopole does not require the installation of any
guy wires, nor would it be fitted with any whip antennas prior to receiving any further
approvals required by the County. A grounding rod that complies with the County's size
requirements will also be attached at the top of the monopole. The proposed shelter
Verizon Wireless PWSF Page 2 Jones Mill (Tracy - Temple LP)
containing ground equipment will have a single outdoor lighting fixture that will be
operated by a timed motion sensor for security purposes, but it will only be used by
Verizon Wireless' technical operations staff during times when maintenance of the site is
necessary. Verizon Wireless is currently in the process of securing a design for a retrofit
shield for the original light or a replacement light fixture to ensure that the facility will be
in full compliance with Section 4.17 of the zoning ordinance. Verizon Wireless is also
requesting approval to enclose the shelter within a wood fence for the purposes of
screening the site from nearby property lines and a dwelling that is currently being
constructed on the Property.
Subsection 5.1.40(c)(3) The proposed antenna configuration will consist of one array
witt, h „... I ,.......,, r n r t_ ,...,.t A a„I 1A a,.t lA Dv n 7 ocnoc /t l at ^/2 —u three paitet aiitcutta ruNucuvt rnutel tvtodel m u /',tA 0_rvo_u t.: that illcasiirc i..r
x 6.1 ” x 4.1 giving each antenna an area of approximately 441 square inches, which is
well below the maximum allowable area of 1 152 square inches. These antennas will be
installed using "pipe- mounts that will allow for any required amount of down - tilting
without exceeding the County's requirements for flush- mounts (12- inches maximum
between the face of the monopole and the face of the antenna). All antennas will be
painted the same dark brown color as the monopole.
Subsection 5.1.40(c)(4 and 5) : Installation of the proposed PWSF and the extension of
access from the orchard road will require the removal of two (2) trees along with some
underbrush surrounding the site. The largest of the trees to be removed is a 18" Oak that
is already dead and the other is identified as a 14" Poplar. Neither of these trees would
be important in screening the proposed facility, considering the heights and locations of
the trees that are identified to remain.
Verizon Wireless has already contracted Van Yahres Tree Company to provide a tree
conservation plan that will be prepared by a certified arborist. In order to ensure that
there is no significant impact to any of the trees that are to remain, the conservation plan
will be completed prior to the submittal of a building permit for this facility.
Recommendations of the tree conservation plan will then be integrated into the
construction process and followed on all portions of the Property that will be affected by
the construction of the proposed facility.
Subsection 5.1.40(c)(6) Should use of the antenna site in this location become
discontinued at anytime in the future, Verizon Wireless and /or its assignee(s) will be
required to remove the facility within 90 days.
Subsection 5.1.40(c)(7) Verizon Wireless shall submit an annual report updating the user
status and equipment inventory of the facility in the required time period.
Subsection 5.1.40(c)(8) No 2:1 or greater slopes will result from the construction of this
facility.
Subsection 5.1.40(c)(9) Because the wooded portion of this site is already fenced off
from the orchard, Verizon Wireless is not proposing the installation of any additional
fencing. However, a swinging gate will be installed for security purposes. That gate will
be consistent with an existing fence between the orchard and wooded area and the
agricultural character of the surrounding area.
Section 5.1.40(d)(2) - The proposed PWSF will be located in a heavily wooded area, and will
not require the removal of any trees that would be important in screening the site or
establishing the height of the monopole. Therefore, the remaining trees around the site will
be adequate to screen the facility and provide a camouflaging for the proposed monopole
when it is viewed from locations off of the property.
Verizon Wireless PWSF Page 3 Jones Mill (Tracy- Temple LP)
Section 5.1.40(d)(3) - The proposed PWSF should not impose any adverse impacts upon
open space resources.
Section 5.1.40(d)(4) - Once constructed, Verizon Wireless PWSF will be the only PWSF on
the located on the Property, and there are no existing facilities located with 200 feet in either
direction of this site.
Section 5.1.40(d)(5) - The proposed monopole will have a base diameter that is a maximum
of 30 inches and a top diameter that is no more than 18 inches.
Section 5. L40(d)(6) - having the ability to extend above the tree tops is key in achieving the
optimal coverage because the proposed directional antennas are most effective when there is
a line of site between the transmitting (antennae) and receiving (PCS handsets) objects.
Therefore, Verizon Wireless is requesting permission to install a monopole that will be 10
feet higher than the reference tree to allow the maximum separation from the leaves and
limbs that can reduce the effectiveness of these low powered radio signals.
In this case the reference tree has been identified as an 18 -inch caliper Oak tree that has a top
elevation of 94.5 feet AMSL and is located within sixteen feet of the proposed location of the
monopole. Because the site is also surrounded by several other tall trees that are similar in
height of the reference tree, it is anticipated that a dark brown monopole would appear as a
minor extension of the treetops when viewed from locations off of the Property. The
presence of a monopole in this location at the proposed height should not have a material
difference in any potential for adverse visual impacts from one that is only seven feet taller
than the reference tree. Therefore, if this is demonstrated by the balloon test, then the request
to extend a maximum of 10 feet above the reference tree should be supported and approved.
Section 5.1.40(d)(7) - The monopole and all antennas will be painted Sherwin Williams Java
Brown 46090. This is a color that has been applied to previously approved PWSF
monopoles. The prefabricated shelter that will be installed at the facility has siding that is a
natural brown earth -tone color with a stone aggregate finish.
Section 5.1.40(d)(8) - All coaxial cables and service lines running vertically from the
transmitting equipment to the antennas will be located inside the monopole.
Section 5.1.40(d)(9 -13) - Verizon Wireless has reviewed and understands all of the
remaining criteria for Tier II Personal Wireless Service Facilities and will provide any
additional information or assistance to ensure that these standards are met.
Conclusion:
Verizon Wireless is confident that the proposed Personal Wireless Service Facility meets the
design criteria for approval of a Tier 11 facility and does not conflict with the goals and objectives
of the Comprehensive Plan. The approval of this PWSF application will contribute to the
deployment of a highly reliable personal communications system in this new market, providing
an additional option for high quality personal wireless services to Albemarle County residents in
the area between Crozet and Whitehall as well as travelers on Whitehall Road (State Route 810).
