RE:
SP2007-00050 Carters Mountain (ATC) – Verizon Tier III PWSF
Tax
Map 91, Parcel 28
Dear Mr. Waller:
The Albemarle
County Planning Commission, at its meeting on January 15, 2008, recommended
approval of the above-noted petition to the Board of Supervisors.
Please note that
this approval is subject to the following conditions:
-
All work shall
be done in general accord with what is described in the applicant's request
and site construction plans, entitled “Carters Mountain Crown Orchard
property, with a final zoning drawing submittal date of 09/17/2007.
This condition
#2 on SP 00-72 does not apply because of a change in the zoning ordinance
section related to personal wireless service facilities.
Additional antennae installation on this tower will require a special use
permit.-
The facility
will have only one outdoor light fixture (that complies with the
County’s lighting requirements) attached to the proposed shelter to be used
by Verizon's technical operations staff only when night-time maintenance is
necessary
The motion passed
by a vote of 7:0.
Motion for
Modifications:
Modification of sections:
-
Subsection
5.1.40(C) (3):
Modification of the flush-mounting requirements in order to allow the
installation of a full sectored antenna array.
-
Subsection
5.1.40(C) (3):
Modification of the requirement to paint the antennas to match the existing
structure. This is because the tower’s colors are not discernable from views
that are off the property.
-
Subsection
5.1.40(c) (4&5)
Verizon is requesting that the Board of Supervisors allow a modification of
the requirements for a tree conservation plan, as no additional land
disturbance is being proposed.
The motion passed
by a vote of 7:0.
