Approved 3113117 <br />1 Barry Katz: You would also have an irrigation plan, some way to maintain this vegetation? Not <br />2 simply put the vegetation in? <br />3 <br />4 Laura Goode: I'm not sure that there is an irrigation per se but it definitely has to be maintained. If <br />5 the vegetation dies we have to go in there and ranstall it. It has to be maintained in order to <br />6 maintain our SUP. <br />7 <br />8 Barry Katz: Alright. You know when they go in they're not big enough to actually obscure anything. <br />9 They have to grow and have to live. Is there any plan for suppressing the inevitable poison ivy and <br />10 sumac and things that come in there so that you can actually sustain these plants? <br />11 <br />12 Samantha Cabe: May I clarify, did I understand you correctly that this is a heavily wooded area <br />13 now that you're only putting this in if the current trees die? <br />14 <br />15 Laura Goode: That's correct. Yes. And I believe that Towercom would agree to any additional <br />16 conditions that you want to place on the SUP to make sure that it is maintained appropriately. <br />17 <br />18 Barry Katz: My sense though is that if the natural vegetation is lost and you make the effort to put <br />19 in this landscape plan and it's not sustained that the Planning Department will hear from the <br />20 neighbors. <br />21 <br />22 Michael Harvey: Well actually the Planning Department will revoke the SUP. <br />23 <br />24 Barry Katz: Right, ok. I understand. <br />25 <br />26 Samantha Cabe: Ok. I didn't mean to interrupt, I just wanted to make sure that that agreement <br />27 was documented in what we were going to be improving. <br />28 <br />29 Barry Katz: You said at the top of this tower there's a 4 -foot lightning rod? <br />30 <br />31 Laura Goode: Yes. <br />32 <br />33 Barry Katz: And there's not little red light at the top? <br />34 <br />35 Laura Goode: Correct. It is not required to be lit by Federal and Aviation administration. So that's <br />36 how we satify all three findings of fact for the Board. In addition to the three findings of fact there <br />37 are SUP standards that this Board must consider. The first being that there's adequate sewage, <br />38 solid waste, and water for the facility. This will be an unmanned facility that will not require those <br />39 services. The second special use standard that the Board must consider is that there be adequate <br />40 police, fire, and rescue squad protection.
