If an ANSI report has not <br />been done pursuant to the preceding schedule, an ANSI report shall be <br />done and submitted as part of the application. No Building Permit shall <br />be issued for any wireless support structure where the structure being <br />attached to is in need of remediation, unless and until the County <br />Planning and Inspections Department has approved all remediation <br />work needed has been completed or a schedule for the remediation <br />work. <br />13) A Structural Report signed by a Professional Engineer licensed to do <br />business in the State and bearing that engineer's currently valid stamp, <br />showing the structural adequacy of the wireless support structure to <br />accommodate the proposed modification or antenna array Collocation, <br />including any equipment shelter, unless the equipment shelter is located <br />on the lowest floor of a building; <br />14) If attaching to a structure other than a tower or where the proposed <br />attachment is within thirty (30') feet of areas to which the public has or <br />could reasonably have or gain access to, documentation shall be <br />provided, including all calculations, proving that the potential exposure <br />to RF radiation (i.e. Non-Ion Emitting Radiation), will be comply with the <br />most recent FCC regulations governing RF radiation and exposure <br />thereto, and further denoting the minimum distance from any antennas <br />an individual may safely stand without being exposed to RF radiation in <br />excess of the FCC's permitted standards and any portion(s) of the <br />structure that would be exposed to RF radiation in excess of the FCC's <br />permitted standards. Compliance with the FCC's regulations, in such <br />ari instance the RF radiation from all facilities at that location shall be <br />included in the calculations to show the cumulative effect on any area of <br />the building or structure deemed accessible by the public or workers. <br />Such report or analysis shall be signed and sealed by a Professional <br />Engineer licensed in the State. <br />
