RE: ARB -2016-18: Albemarle High School PWSF Telecommunications Facility
Dear Ms. Stelzer,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on April 18, 2016, completed a preliminary
review of the above -noted request. The Board took the following actions.
Regarding the visibility of the monopole:, the Board, by a vote of 3:0, forwarded the following
recommendation to the Agent:
The ARB does not support the requests for special exceptions and finds that:
1. The location of the facility does not serve to minimize visibility of the facility.
2. The height of the facility and the method of antenna attachment do not serve to minimize visibility.
3. The addition of the facility, as designed, does not respect existing views and vistas.
4. Telecommunications facilities to be constructed on County property should meet the County's
established design standards and the Personal Wireless Service Facilities Policy, which is a
component of the Comprehensive Plan.
Regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness for the ground equipment and base station: The ARB
took no action on this item based on the previous action.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
