2 <br />11. The Mellott property (P-14). <br />Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the Plan. As stated during the public hearing, there <br />is no action required by the Planning Board on this item. The adoption of this Plan does not <br />pre-approve tower applications nor grant any development authority to those individually listed <br />properties. <br />During the public hearing, the following comments were made: <br />• Questions arose over the imposition of conditions associated with County properties. <br />Board members stated that the County ought to go through the same notification process <br />and adhere to certain submittal requirements as a private firm proposing a <br />telecommunication wireless support structure. <br />STAFF COMMENT: Please refer to Attachment 3 for a proposed resolution establishing <br />various conditions associated with the location of telecommunication wireless support <br />structures on County-owned properties. <br />• BOCC members recommended that existing regulations governing the erection of <br />telecommunication wireless support structures be reviewed by staff and the Planning <br />Board as part of the second phase of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) review. <br />STAFF COMMENT: Existing regulations will be reviewed as part of the next phase of <br />UDO development. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Other than the published legal advertisement, which was paid for with <br />fiscal year 2010/2011 budget funds, there is no financial impact at this time other than staff <br />time. Eventually, ground lease revenues may be received from towers located on County <br />properties. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />1. Accept any additional public comments on the subject, <br />2. Close the public hearing, and <br />3. Approve the Plan, as provided at Attachment 1, and the Resolution provided at <br />Attachment 3 outlining the County's position on the process required for the review of <br />projects on County-owned property. <br />
