A pre -application meeting is not necessary, or appropriate for this type of inquiry. Section 971.44 (1), which regulates non -wireless commercial communications towers 70 feet or more in height does not include any provision for a design fall radius. The subject tower and site are nonconforming under the current Land Development Regulations (LDRs). In fact, non -wireless commercial communications towers are now prohibited on A-1 zoned properties. Also, as you mentioned below, there appears to be several off-site existing homes and/or other structures that fail to meet the 300% setback requirement. Constructing a new single-family home within the 300% setback on the subject tower site would make the tower and site a more nonconforming site, which is prohibited in Chapter 904 of the County LDRs. While structures on adjacent legal parcels do make the tower more nonconforming, they are allowed to remain since it is not the same property owner/controlling entity deliberately making a structure more nonconforming by their own actions. An agricultural structure may be built on an A-1 zoned property in support of an agricultural use (e.g. a hay barn for livestock), prior to/independent of, a residential structure. However, accessory structures that are customarily subordinate/incidental to a principal residential structure (e.g. a detached garage/"hobby shop") may only be built in conjunction with, or after, a principal residential structure.

I have a few questions. 1. The initial reply we received from your office indicated that the discovery of a certified fall radius would result in a review, otherwise we would need to use the default regulation of 300% of the height. (971.44(1)(g)l . You've found and attached the documented fall radius; and a report that further supports it, so I am unsure why the below conclusion remains 300%? If 300% is the case, I have to point out that the following structures are all within that radius - - My current home and barn located at 7760 66th Ave ATTACHMENT 6
