Lepore explained that was an unrealistic goal . <br /> Director Boling cited various concerns and questions regarding the " build out " of the <br /> County ' s wireless plan ; including whether or not the County currently has enough towers ; <br /> whether the County needs to allow any more 300 - foot towers ; whether the existing radio <br /> station towers can be utilized ; whether the County can require " stealth " towers in residential <br /> areas , and asking the providers to pay for review of the required information . <br /> Commissioner Adams questioned where the current gaps in coverage would be <br /> located , and Mr . Collins noted the North Beach area and the I - 95 border areas in the western <br /> portions of the County . <br /> Chairman Ginn questioned whether the County must accept more carriers than those <br /> presently doing business in the County , and Mr . Lepore advised that if they have a license , <br /> you have to allow them . <br /> Commissioner Adams questioned coverage of conservation lands , and Mr . Collins <br /> suggested that possibly fire watchtowers could be used , which would also serve a public <br /> safety purpose . <br /> Mr . Lepore stated that the plan to be presented to the Board would contain first <br /> choices and then rate those designs which would have the most stringent requirements . <br /> Norman Hensick, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission , asked for a <br /> clarification as to whether or not there are dangers associated with RF radiation . <br /> Chairman Ginn stated that there are no substantiated health risks , which does not <br /> mean there are none , but the County cannot take that issue into consideration as it is <br /> regulated by the federal government . <br /> Mr. Lepore noted that the County cannot legislate standards but can require providers <br /> to meet the requirements and to certify to the County that they have met those requirements . <br /> B ► i s PG 7 J <br /> JULY 25 , 2001 - 11 - <br /> Cr e <br />
