BOOK 98, Fir, i :787 7 <br />General discussion ensued regarding "roaming" charges and <br />James Randall, site acquisition manager for AT&T, explained that <br />each company with an existing site generally seeks to work out an <br />arrangement with other companies; however, there is a problem in <br />that each system is different. All sites must be tied together in <br />order to get coverage and other companies' requirements of the <br />service area may be different from AT&T. In this case, several <br />other carriers have contacted AT&T relative to sharing costs and <br />AT&T has sent "shared use" notifications out to these companies. <br />Mr. Randall suggested that in the future the County might require <br />these shared use notices. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this <br />matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously granted <br />special exception use approval to AT&T for the 300' <br />tower on the conditions that, prior to site plan <br />release, the applicant shall: (1) obtain a county <br />"airport construction permit" (which condition has <br />been satisfied); (2) execute an agreement acceptable <br />to the County Attorney's Office that acknowledges <br />the tower shall be available for other parties and <br />interests; and (3) document to the County Attorney <br />Office's satisfaction that no residences will be <br />allowed within the tower's fall radius; all as <br />recommended by staff. <br />AUGUST 13, 1996 44 <br />
