At least once every thirty-six (36) <br />months, or thirty-six (36) months from the date of a co- <br />location approval, a structural engineer who is regularly <br />involved in the maintenance, inspection and/or erection of <br />telecommunications towers shall inspect the tower and submit <br />a report to the Inspections Division within a reasonable time <br />thereafter. At a minimum, this inspection shall be conducted <br />in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance and in <br />accordance with the tower inspections check list provided in <br />the EIA-222 (as amended from time to time).

The owner <br />of the telecommunication tower may be required by the County to <br />
