Telecommunication Plan Map-To review government-initiated amendments to modify the adopted Master Telecommunications Plan Map (MTP) by adding 4 additional sites. Glenn Bowles showed the Telecommunication Plan Map modifications. At the February 2011 Quarterly Public Hearing, the boards reviewed the initial MTP map and then in May the BOCC approved the initial map. This is a modification of that map. The map that was approved last year was all the red and green areas (red being existing towers and green being proposed). The light green circle around each area is a two-mile buffer. There are four additional sites — two of which are County-owned sites (Blackwood Farms and the park across the street from the , Chapel Hill Service Center). Site B-12 is owned by OWASA and is also the American Stone Quarry property. The Scott property is in the northwest part of the County. He asked the � County Commissioners to accept this map. I Commissioner Jacobs made reference to Site P-10, the Blackwood property and said ', that there was a discussion about a ten-acre parcel that was going to have a cell tower, and he thinks that the County ended up buying that site. He wants to make sure that this is the same I site he is thinking about. I Craig Benedict said that he is not familiar with whether this is that site or not. He will research this. Commissioner Hemminger said that the County did purchase the ten acres. Commissioner Jacobs said that he is interested in being involved in site placement of towers on each site. Commissioner Yuhasz said that he would like to see a map of all private towers and also an inventory of which of those sites have available space. A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz to close the public hearing and forward any comments to the March 22"d meeting.
