Article 5: Uses Section 5.10: Standards for Telecommunication Facilities Orange County, North Carolina – Unified Development Ordinance Page 5-86 geographic area of intended coverage for the proposed telecommunication support structure. (c) Elevation drawings and color renderings of the proposed tower showing: (i) The vertical rendition of the telecommunication support structure(s) identifying all users and attachments, (ii) All related fixtures, structures, appurtenances and apparatus including the height of said structures above the lowest adjacent pre-existing grade, (iii) The materials that will be used on site for said structures including their color and any proposed lighting and shielding devices, and (iv) If the facility is intended to be a stealth, as defined herein, the colors and screening devices for the Planning Director to verify consistency with applicable definitions. (d) A signed statement from the applicant certifying that the proposed telecommunication support structure: (i) Shall be maintained in a safe manner, (ii) Is in compliance with all conditions of all applicable permits and authorizations without exception, and (iii) Is in compliance with all applicable and permissible local, State, and Federal rules and regulations. (e) A statement, prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of North Carolina, which through rational engineering analysis, certifies the tower's compliance with applicable standards as set forth in the State of North Carolina Building Code, and any associated regulations; and describes the tower's capacity, including an example of the number and type of antennas it can accommodate. (f) A statement stating how the proposed tower will minimize visual intrusiveness to surrounding properties in the area. Criteria that may be used for such evidence may be height and type of existing trees surrounding the proposed tower, and local topography. (g) A copy of the installed foundation design including a geotechnical sub- surface soils investigation, evaluation report, and foundation recommendation for the proposed wireless support structure. (h) The existing cell sites (latitude, longitude, power levels) to which this proposed site will be a handoff candidate. (i) Propagation studies of the proposed site and showing all adjoining planned, proposed, in-service or existing sites. This will include all of the modeling information used to produce the study including, but not limited to, any assumptions made about ambient tree height. (j) The search ring utilized in finding the proposed site. (k) The number, type, height, and model of the proposed antennas along with a copy of the applicable specification sheet(s). (l) The make, model and manufacturer of the tower and antenna(s), antenna heights and power levels of proposed site. This will include documentation establishing the azimuth, size, and centerline height location of all proposed and existing antennas on the structure. (m) The frequency, modulation and class of service of radio or other transmitting equipment. 25
