Article 8.2.4 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance <br />requires: <br />a) that applicants for a special use permit show the <br />methods and adequacy of provisions for sewage <br />disposal facilities, solid waste and water service. <br />The Board finds that the site will not be a staffed <br />facility, and therefore water and sewer disposal <br />facilities will not be necessary. <br />b) that an applicant for a special use permit show the <br />method and adequacy of police, fire and rescue squad <br />protection. The Board finds that fire protection <br />for the proposed tower site would be provided by <br />Orange Grave Fire Department; rescue service by <br />Orange County Emergency Management; and police <br />protection by the Orange County Sheriff's <br />Department. <br />c) that an applicant for a special use permit show the <br />method and adequacy of vehicle access to the site <br />and traffic conditions around the site.
