The .application of the Mary A. Cutchin Estate and Crown
Communication, Inc. for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a self-
- .supporting lattice tower of one hundred eighty-five feet and provide an
.equipment pad at the base of the tower. Said property is located at the
southeast intersection of Carrsville Highway and Carver Road in
Windsor Magisterial District. Tabled 1/20/2000.
Mr. Hartley briefed the Board on the status of the application of Mary
A. Cutchin .Estate, .which was previously tabled by the Board at its January
20, 2000 meeting. He noted the Director of Economic Development at that
time had voiced a concern relative to the use of the property and a proposed
access road. He stated the Director of Economic Development has since .met
with representatives of Crown Communications and representatives of the
.owner and has indicated, based on information provided, that he no longer
feels that approval of the application negatively impacts the development of
the property. He stated regarding the access road, language is being
proposed as a condition to allow for an alternative access. when the property
is developed. He stated regarding the issue raised with the Route 260
Connector Project, he has spoken with Pat Byrum and the Franklin District
Resident Engineer, who are of the opinion that this tower would not
interfere with any of the road plans on record at this time. He stated it may
be appropriate to request, as part of the design now being proposed, to
require preliminary design for future .expansion at this intersection. He
stated this could be -done now and/or included in the County's preallocation
request in April. He suggested the Board require aself-renewing surety
bond with any changes requiring notification to the County so that staff is
not required to monitor this on a yearly basis.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated with respect to how this intersection may
work in the future, he is still concerned with the proximity of the tower to
Route 260/Route 258 and the railroad.
Mr. Hartley recommended that staff correspond with the design team
working on the Route 260 Connector Project and request, on a preliminary
basis, that they explain. design options and limitations and that the County's
comments also be added in to the County's comments for the Preallocation
Hearing.

Hearing.. The motion was adopted with Supervisors MacManus, Bradby,

Supervisor voting against the motion.
County Attorney Crook .stated he has reviewed the model ordinance
provisions from VACo which require that towers be located 400 feet from
any. residential home, rather than the 200 feet as required in the County's
ordinance. He stated the model ordinance further requires that any collapse
of a tower would have to be within the property's boundary lines. He stated
regarding removal, the model ordinance provides that the owner of each
.tower shall remove same. within ninety. (90) days of receipt of notice from
the governing body, notifying the owner of such removal, which includes
removal of the tower, all tower fence footers, underground cables and
support. buildings. He recommended the Board consider amending its
ordinance to include these provisions. He advised the Board. that it can
impose any reasonable condition in the issuance of a Conditional Use
Permit, such as security, footer removal of the tower or that the removal will
be both above and below the ground.
Chairman Bradshaw requested the County Attorney come back to the
Board with proposed ordinance amendments.
Supervisor Claud stated he sees the removal of underground footings
as being as issue between the lessee and the lessor which could be
negotiated in the price. He stated he does not see the public need of
demanding that the footings be removed.
Supervisor MacManus stated he would like to see space for the
County's use, if desired, in any conditional use requirements for emergency
services. He also suggested .that an annual report. be included in: any
ordinance changes.

School Board include removal three (3) feet below ground and an annual
report with County space being reserved on the tower.

telecommunications needs by the County. The motion. was adopted with
Supervisors MacManus, Bradby, Bradshaw, Clark and Claud voting in favor
of the motion (5-0) and no Supervisor voting against the motion.

would have to look at the proposed change to determine if it is substantial
