Item 2: Review of the AT&T Commercial Telecommunications Facility Conditional Use Permit
(proposed tower located at 141 Fairview Road.
The Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) has been asked to provide a review agency comment
pertaining to the AT&T Commercial Telecommunications Facility Conditional Use Permit application.
This application was seeking to construct a 199 -foot monopole telecommunications tower with an
accessory equipment building. The property is located at 141 Fairview Road.
The HRAB previously discussed this application at the September 18, 2012 meeting. At that meeting the
HRAB felt that the submitted application did not provide the Board with enough information to make a
recommendation on the proposed tower and requested that the application provide additional
information and return to a future meeting. The applicant was also requested to provide a balloon test
of where the tower would be located. For the November meeting the applicant provided a Visual Impact
Assessment Report and Photo Simulations.
At the November 2012 meeting the HRAB was satisfied with the submitted tower application package
and recommended approval of the CUP.
Other: Historic Plaque Application for the Hites Chapel United Methodist Church.
Staff received a request for a historic plaque for the Hites Chapel United Methodist Church and the
request was added to the November agenda. The HRAB reviewed the proposal and heard comments
from the applicants. With minor changes to the text in the site write up the group approved the
application.
