The County of Albemarle Planning Division provides the following comments and concerns on the above
referenced project. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further
review). [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning
Ordinances unless otherwise specified].
[5.1.40b(6)] Screening and siting to minimize visibility. Based upon the balloon test conducted on
4/1/17, the proposed facility is not adequately screened and does not minimize visibility at various
points along Garth Road and surrounding properties.
2. [Comment] Personal Wireless Service Facilities Policy Report. The most important guideline for
sitting personal wireless facilities in Albemarle County is visibility. As stated above, this proposal does
not appear to be adequately screened and there may be more areas on the site that may be well
suited; however, additional proposals must also be reviewed on a case -by -case basis (See page 38).
3. [5.1.40e(2)(a)] Time for Action. As you are aware, you voluntarily tolled the shotclock on April 6,
2017, which would require that the application be acted upon within 60 days.
4. [Comment] VDOT may require a commercial entrance for this proposal.
