Analysis) shall <br />be performed on all towers in excess of one hundred (100 <br />feet in height and shall be submitted to the Inspections <br />Division.

For all towers less than six (6) <br />years old, a current existing P.E. analysis of the tower may be <br />submitted in lieu of the new P. E. analysis required above. If <br />the tower does not meet the aforementioned EIA standards, <br />the letter or existing P.E. analysis shall include the types of <br />modifications that would be required to bring the tower up to <br />standard. All existing towers shall be subject to the annual <br />electrical inspection conducted by the Inspections Division <br />including any associated inspection fees. <br />1) The Inspections Division shall be notified in writing <br />when a required analysis is complete. A copy of the <br />analysis report shall be made available to the County <br />Inspections Division upon request.
