Article 5: Uses <br /> Section 5.10: Standards for Telecommunication Facilities 23 <br /> (b) A detailed description of the proposed telecommunication support <br /> structure(i.e. monopole, self-supporting lattice, etc.) including a detailed <br /> narrative description and explanation of the specific objective(s) for the <br /> new facility including a description as to the coverage and/or capacity, <br /> technical requirements, and the identified boundaries of the specific <br /> geographic area of intended coverage for the proposed <br /> telecommunication support structure. <br /> (c) Elevation drawings and color renderings of the proposed tower showing: <br /> 0) The vertical rendition of the telecommunication support <br /> structure(s) identifying all users and attachments, <br /> (ii) All related fixtures, structures, appurtenances and apparatus <br /> including the height of said structures above the lowest adjacent <br /> pre-existing grade, <br /> (iii) The materials that will be used on site for said structures <br /> including their color and any proposed lighting and shielding <br /> devices, and <br /> (iv) If the facility is intended to be a stealth, as defined herein, the <br /> colors and screening devices for the Planning Director to verify <br /> consistency with applicable definitions. <br /> (d) A signed statement from the applicant certifying that the proposed <br /> telecommunication support structure: <br /> (i) Shall be maintained in a safe manner, <br /> (ii) Is in compliance with all conditions of all applicable permits and <br /> authorizations without exception, and <br /> (iii) Is in compliance with all applicable and permissible local, State, <br /> and Federal rules and regulations. 20 <br /> (e) A statement, prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of <br /> North Carolina, which through rational engineering analysis, certifies the <br /> tower's compliance with applicable standards as set forth in the State of <br /> North Carolina Building Code, and any associated regulations; and <br /> describes the tower's capacity, including an example of the number and <br /> type of antennas it can accommodate. <br /> (f) A statement stating how the proposed tower will minimize visual <br /> intrusiveness to surrounding properties in the area. Criteria that may be <br /> used for such evidence may be height and type of existing trees <br /> surrounding the proposed tower, and local topography. <br /> (g) A copy of the installed foundation design including a geotechnical sub- <br /> surface soils investigation, evaluation report, and foundation <br /> recommendation for the proposed wireless support structure. <br /> (h) The existing cell sites (latitude, longitude, power levels)to which this <br /> proposed site will be a handoff candidate. <br /> (i) Propagation studies of the proposed site and showing all adjoining <br /> planned, proposed, in-service or existing sites. This will include all of the <br /> modeling information used to produce the study including, but not limited <br /> to, any assumptions made about ambient tree height. <br /> (j) The search ring utilized in finding the proposed site. <br /> 20 Moved from Section 5.10.6(B)(3)of the UDO <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 5-84 <br />
