BOOK 98 PAf 421 <br />B. Specific criteria for towers over 140' in height <br />requiring special exception use approval. <br />1. Suitable protective anti -climb fencing and a <br />landscape planting screening shall be provided and <br />maintained around the structure and accessory <br />attachments. Where the first fifty (50) feet of a <br />tower is visible to the public, the applicant shall <br />provide one canopy tree per three thousand (3,000) <br />square feet of the designated fall radius. The <br />trees shall be planted in a pattern which will <br />obscure the base area of the tower, without <br />conflicting with the guy wires of the tower; <br />2. *All towers shall submit a conceptual tower lighting <br />plan. Louvers or shields may be required as <br />necessary to keep light from shining down on <br />surrounding properties. Strobe lights must be used <br />unless prohibited by other agencies; <br />3. The reviewing body shall consider the impact of the <br />proposed tower on residential subdivisions near the <br />project site; <br />4. All property owners within six hundred (600) feet <br />of the property boundary shall receive written <br />notice; <br />5. Applicants shall explain in writing why no other <br />existing tower facility could be used to meet the <br />applicant's transmitting/receiving needs. An <br />application may be denied if existing tower <br />facilities can be used; <br />6. Towers shall be designed to accommodate multiple <br />users; <br />7. A condition of approval for any tower application <br />shall be that the tower shall be available for <br />other parties and interests. This shall be <br />acknowledged in a written agreement between the <br />applicant and the county, on a form acceptable to <br />the county, that will run with the land. <br />Note: This criterion has been satisfied: see <br />attachment #4. <br />Each of these 14 criteria has been addressed by the applicant. <br />Staff has verified that each criterion is satisfied. In order <br />to maintain continued compliance with the intent of criterion <br />A.2., the applicant will need to document to staff that no <br />residences will be allowed within the tower's fall radius. <br />16.'
