Box 99 F.auE 995 6. Airport Zoning Ordinance Regulations: The proposed 300' tower would extend into one of the county's "height notification zones." Pursuant to the county's height notification and other airport zoning ordinance regulations, the applicant has been notified that it must file a notice of proposed construction form with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), to obtain the FAA's obstruction determination on the proposed tower. If the FAA determines that the proposed tower does not exceed federal obstruction standards, then the applicant will need to obtain an "airport construction permit" from staff. That permit merely requires compliance with any limitations or conditions noted in the FAAs determination. If, however, the FAA determines that the proposed tower exceeds federal obstruction standards, then the applicant will need -to obtain an "airport construction variance" from the Board of Adjustment. Such a variance can be approved only upon satisfaction of various air traffic safety criteria. The applicant has informed staff that the appropriate notification information has been filed with the FAA. The applicant has also acknowledged that, upon receipt of the FAA's determination, it will apply for a county "airport construction permit". Prior to site plan release, the applicant must obtain a county "airport construction permit" or "airport construction variance". 7. Building Area: 600 sq. ft. (unmanned, electrical equipment building) 8. Open Space: Required: 80.0% Provided: 95.5% 9. Traffic Circulation: The tower lease area is to be accessed from 83rd Street via a private driveway that runs north and south along the east boundary of the overall site. In order to establish access rights, a proposed 20' wide access easement will be created. The easement necessary to serve the proposed tower must be recorded into the public records prior to release of the approved site plan. Due to the low traffic generation associated with an unmanned tower site, traffic engineering has approved the proposed access. 10. Off -Street Parking: Required: 2 unpaved Provided: 2 unpaved Note: County off-street parking regulations for towers require two (2) parking spaces. The spaces may be fully sodded or otherwise stabilized as approved by the Public Works Director. The stabilized parking spaces provided for the subject site have been approved by the Public Works Director. 11. Landscape Plan: For towers, such as this one, that exceed 140' in height in agricultural zoning districts, the lowest 50' of the tower must be screened from adjacent properties. Initially some screening will be provided by existing pines and myrtles on the overall site. However, in order to provide for all required screening, additional pine trees and myrtles are proposed to be planted along the perimeter of the tower lease area. Therefore, the specific land use criteria of section 971.44(2) are satisfied. 12. Stormwater Management: The Stormwater Management Plan has been approved by the Public Works Department. 20 DECEMBER 3, 1996
