17 <br />2) propagation studies of the proposed site and all adjoining planned, <br />proposed, in- service or existing sites; <br />3) the search area irk utilized in finding the proposed site; <br />4) the make, model and manufacturer of the tower and antenna(s), <br />antenna heights and power levels of proposed site; <br />5) the frequency, modulation and class of service of radio or other <br />transmitting equipment; <br />6) the actual intended transmission and the maximum effective <br />radiated power of the antenna(s); <br />7) the direction(s) of maximum lobes and associated radiation of the <br />antenna(s); <br />8) certification that the NIER levels at the proposed -site are within <br />the threshold levels adopted by the FCC; <br />9) certification that the proposed antenna(s) will not cause <br />interference with other telecommunications devices; <br />10) a written affidavit stating why "the proposed site is necessary for <br />their communications service" (e.g., for coverage, capacity, hole - <br />filling, etc.) and a statement that there are no existing alternative <br />sites within the provided search area & and there are no <br />alternative technologies available which could provide the <br />proposed telecommunications service need without the tower. <br />a) County staff will utilize the services of a registered <br />professional engineer to confirm the accuracy and <br />reliability of the substantive portions of data provided in <br />tower applications. No tower shall be permitted to exceed <br />its designed loading capacity. For all teweFS wireless <br />support structures attached to existing structures, the <br />statement shall include certification that the structure can <br />support the load superimposed ' from the teweF ' ss <br />support structure. All teweFs wireless support structures <br />shall have the capacity to permit multiple users; at a <br />minimum monopole teweFS wireless support structures <br />shall accommodate two (2) users and self- support/lattice or <br />guyed teweFs wireless support structures shall, at a <br />minimum accommodate three (3) users. <br />e) Standards of evaluation. <br />1) A proposed tower shall not be permitted if it is not substantially <br />necessary for the telecommunications service_ need identified <br />pursuant to Subsection d. (10) of this Section. <br />2) Tower height shall be measured from the base of the tower to the <br />highest point of the proposed antenna(s), with lightening rod, to be <br />located atop the tower structure. <br />
