Tom <br />r%^I l \A� - - -- <br />nGVhRU11VV 1 rnt UKUINANUh TQ AMEND THE ZONING OI <br />INANCE <br />but this Ordinance cannot be written to create a cottage industry for engineers to review zoning <br />applications. There has to be some level of trust between the applicants and the governing bodies <br />when certain certifications are made. All costs to construct a wireless system are passed <br />onto the consumer. The wireless Industry does not operate in a monopoly where all <br />carriers are guaranteed a fixed rate of return. These high fees in some cases may <br />deter future deployment of wireless technology, and ultimately result in a lack of <br />state of the art services being made available to the citizens of Orange County. <br />Orange County should embrace wireless technology, and pass laws which encourage <br />the rapid deployment of the same. Such fees have the opposite impact: Local <br />governments pass legislation every day to encourage economic development in <br />communities. The wireless industry has asked for no such special economic <br />Incentives. However, do not underestimate .the impact on the local economy by the <br />deployment of wireless technology, the hiring of employees in the wireless industry, <br />and the use of this technology by Orange County citizens. A more reasonable fee in <br />light of the services rendered by the County is requested. <br />FAVSRr MftX=MI COUNTY zO 0000A► SIM RROARDINO TNl ORDMANCa TO AMRNO THa WHOM ORWW CI OF ORANOa =Wff <br />RIOARDINO.dw <br />4 <br />88 <br />
