I would like to state that this is a separate case from the one before even though the 23 <br />attorney and the applicant will have the same case of characters. This will be on 1426 Old 24 <br />Greensboro Road property. Does anyone have any comments? 25 <br /> 26 <br />James Bryan: This board did hear partial testimony about this in the previous case. That expatriate 27 <br />communication just for information in case anyone came in late. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Michael Harvey: On page 97, we have another Special Use Permit by American Tower and AT&T 30 <br />Mobility proposing to erect a telecommunication facility on a parcel of property located on 1426 Old 31 <br />Greensboro Road, PIN 9768-22-3878. There is a property map in Attachment 1 providing an aerial 32 <br />photo of the property. Attachment 2 is staff comments relating to this application. We would also like 33 <br />to point out that I have a revised, what I am calling Applicant Exhibit 1, a revised letter for the Center 34 <br />of Municipal Solutions approving the project or recommending approval of the project. Attachment 3 35 <br />is a Notification of Materials for certification for the mailing and the sign posting and the special use 36 <br />permit Findings of Fact. We are looking at another 199 foot telecommunication tower and a 100 by 37 <br />100 foot leased area of the subject parcel. There will be a 60 by 60 foot fenced compound supporting 38 <br />the telecommunication tower. As we stipulated during the last application on page 99, there are no 39 <br />preselected sites or County owned/leased sites or commercial property in this general area where a 40 <br />telecommunication tower should be located and as such, this is the last tier out of the residential 41 <br />zoned property where telecommunications tower could be located and it required by 5.10.8 of the 42 <br />UDO. As I have indicated, Attachment 2 contains various comments from county departments on this 43 <br />project. We will stipulate that the applicant met their burden with respect to submission of this 44
