The applicant shall submit all necessary bonding/financial security documents to the County Attorney’s 3 office for review and approval guaranteeing the removal of the tower in the event it is abandoned or 4 unused for a period of 12 months. A cost estimate shall be provided by a qualified contractor. The 5 amount of the security shall be 110 percent of the estimate. This must be completed before building 6 permits are issued. 7 13. Telecommunication tower owners shall submit a report to the County Inspections Division certifying 8 structural and electrical integrity upon completion of the initial construction and at intervals as specified 9 within the UDO. 10 14.

In those cases where an inspection is required, which is not performed by Orange County Inspections, 14 the applicant is required to notify the Planning Department and any applicable County telecommunication 15 consultant of the inspection and its results. 16 16. Nothing associated with the approval, development or use of the property in support of the proposed 17 telecommunication facilities shall be construed as impacting the use of the property for bona-fide farm 18 purposes. Expansion of farming activities shall not constitute a modification of the special use permit as 19 detailed within the UDO requiring a re-review of the project by the Board of Adjustment. 20 17. The County’s telecommunications consultant shall issue a final Certificate of Completion upon the 21 completion of a final inspection of the constructed telecommunication facilities. Commercial service 22 cannot be provided/initiated until this final Certificate is completed and issued. 23 18. The Special Use Permit will automatically expire within 12 months from the date of approval if the use 24 has not commenced or construction has not commenced or proceeded unless a timely application for 25 extension of this time limit is approved by the Board of Adjustment. 26 19. If any condition of this Special Use Permit shall be held invalid or void, then this Special Use Permit shall 27 be void in its entirety and of no effect. 28 29 Larry Wright: Now we move to the recommendations with the 20th recommendation which would be the easement. 30 Mr. and Mrs. Yow are willing to provide an easement so that the existing trees on the tower site will be preserved 31 throughout the duration of its use of this telecommunications site. 32 33 MOTION made by Samantha Cabe that the board approve the application for the special use permit with the 19 34 conditions that are proposed on pages 187 through 188 of the abstract with the additional condition “that a 35 conservation easement consistent with the applicant’s Exhibit 2 submitted today be executed and recorded as a 36 condition to the approval of the permit”. David Blankfard seconded. 37 VOTE: Unanimous 38 39 Michael Harvey: Before we adjourn, we have to poll the board members. We have an application that needs to be 40 heard in September. The typical meeting date for this board is the second Monday of each month. That puts it in 41 direct conflict with the Board of County Commissioner’s Public Hearing so we will not be holding the Board of 42 Adjustment meeting that evening. We are asking if you would be available on Tuesday, September 10 for a meeting 43 to hear this application which is an appeal of the decision by the Orange County Planning Department. 44 45
