k. The reviewing body shall consider the impact of the proposed tower on residential subdivisions near the project site. 1. All property owners within 600' of the property boundary shall receive written notice. All of these criteria have been satisfied with the exception of portions of criterion j. With respect to criterion j, one issue still exists. This involves a conflict between the proposed lighting plan and the lighting plan detailed in the engineer's response letter. According to the proposed conceptual lighting plan, lights at the top and midpoint of the tower are to be red filtered beacons. These lights are not permitted under local code unless other agencies prohibit the use of strobe lights. For that reason the applicant will need to furnish the County with a letter from the applicable agency(s) stating that strobe lights are prohibited. However, the applicant's engineer has more recently stated that the lighting plan has been revised and that a single conical strobe light is now proposed at the top of the tower. The strobe will have a greater intensity during the daylight hours and can be turned down at night. Staff is encouraging the applicant to use this method and is verifying that the strobe lighting will be used and will be shielded from shining directly toward the ground. 13.
