Approved 9/10/2013 OC Board of Adjustment – 7/8/2013 Page 23 of 82 concerning the submittal of the application as well as all the required attachments. That goes on to page 136 and then 1 we provided documentation dealing with whether or not the applicant has complied with Section 2.75 which deals with 2 notification requirements. We have provided you the linkages not only in the applicant’s document but as well as 3 providing you documentation in our own abstract signifying that all notification requirements were adhered to as 4 described in the UDO and state law. That takes us to page 138 complying with the specifics development standards. 5 You will note an affirmative finding by staff. You will also note there are various locations where we state the 6 provisions are not applicable. For example, there is a requirement that the applicant provide an environmental 7 statement if they are required to by code. This project is not required to provide one as it does not meet the criteria to 8 submit an environmental statement and we have indicated that in the script for your review. We have found they have 9 complied with the necessary documentation with respect to the technical detail on the erection of the tower. As Ms. 10 Kemerait pointed out, they have the detailed narrative as well as attachments showing the search ring utilized to find 11 the proposed site and the propagation studies indicating there were no towers as required by the code for them to co-12 locate onto an existing tower with this antenna. That takes us to the conclusion of this script on page 183. This is 13 where the board has to base their decisions based on the testimony evidence entered into the record. These are the 14 three general findings in Section 5.3.2 (A) (2). Specifically that the use will maintain or promote the public health, 15 safety and general welfare if located where proposed. I am not reading verbatim. Secondly, that the use will maintain 16 or enhance the value of contiguous property and finally, location and character of the use if developed according to the 17 planned submittal will be in harmony with the area in which it is located and the use is in compliance with the physical 18 development of the county’s UDO and Comprehensive Plan. We have provided you with a reminder of what is in the 19 record with respect to testimony that has already been presented. If you see fit to grant this application, you will see 20 on page 187 and 188, we have recommended 19 conditions which the applicant has agreed to. I would further 21 stipulate that if this board sees fit, you need to add a 20th condition indicating that conservation easement(s) will be 22 executed as proposed by the applicant to address board’s concerns over the removal of foliage from the property. 23 You will need to add that it was not an original condition. I will remind the board in Attachment 2 of the packet, you 24 have correspondence from our county telecommunications consultant recommending approval of the tower. You have 25 correspondence from Orange County Environmental Health, the fire marshal’s office and other county agencies 26 indicating their support for the tower application indicating they do not believe there are issues with respect to either 27 they being able to provide service to the tower from a public safety standpoint or from the tower being erected on the 28 parcel of property. I will answer any specific questions. I will remind you that once you close the public hearing, you 29 cannot ask questions of the staff, applicant or anyone in the audience. Just to make sure no one has questions for Mr. 30 Monroe, he has to leave. 31 32 Larry Wright: Anyone have any questions for Mr. Monroe. No. At this point we will close the public hearing. Are 33 there any general comments from the board members before we start? I would like to address the application 34 components. I would like to ask for a motion and before there is a second, I would like to give ample time for any 35 discussion on the motion. Do I have a motion on the application components? We are all voting members here. 36 37
