In the course of amending the regulations, the <br />County has attempted to identify public, private, and semi-!quasi-public properties that may be <br />suitable for the location of telecommunication equipment (towers or antennas). The purpose <br />being to identify sites that, given their strategic location in relation to existing <br />telecommunications facilities and related infrastructure, may be suitable for the location of future <br />telecommunications towers or related facilities. The resulting plan is called a "Master <br />Telecommunications Plan (MTP)". <br />The purpose of the MTP is to provide the best locations for overall public benefit and also limit <br />the number of towers built in the County by suggesting some prime locations for such towers. <br />Only if property owners are interested in being part of the MTP program do then have to <br />participate. Many potential sttes include Voluntary Agricultural Distracts, fire stations, <br />community centers, and public lands where tower revenue could be returned to the entities that <br />provide benefits to the area citizens. Towers or tower antenna could be located on silos, <br />steeples, water tanks and be restricted by whatever the landowner prescribes, as long as it <br />does not exceed the general standards of the Zoning Ordinance. <br />The County understands and feels strongly that cooperation with potential and known <br />stakeholders within the County is an important factor to consider, while the MTP is being drafted <br />and proposed.
