The HRAB reviewed information associated with Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley and information provided by Verizon (HRAB & CUP Application, Photographs of the site/ Photo simulations of the facility, coverage plots). The proposal seeks to construct a 155 -foot monopole commercial telecommunications tower with accessory equipment building on a property located at 143 Greenwood Road in the Red Bud Magisterial District. Historic Resources Advisory Board Comments: The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley published by the National Park Service identifies this property as core battlefield area for the Battle of Third Winchester (Opequon) with lost integrity. The Rural Landmarks Survey Report for Frederick County Virginia identifies one mapped property and two mapped battlefield boundaries within the immediate area of the subject site: Wood - Sibell House ( #34 -1065) — potentially significant Second /Third Battle of Winchester Site ( #34 -0456 and #34 -5023) — eligible for the National Register After reviewing this information and the applicant's materials, the Historic Resources Advisory Board HRAB) recommended the conditional use permit be sent forward to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for review with no comments. The HRAB felt that this area had already been heavily impacted by development and therefore had no recommendations. 0 0 • Ms. Heather Rubinstein, SCE, LLC Re: Verizon Wireless — Conditional Use Permit Application May 24, 2016 Page 2 Please contact me with any questions concerning these comments from the HRAB.

Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Re: CUP Application Verizon Wireless — Shenandoah Hills 143 Greenwood Road Winchester, VA Entrex Job 1102.272 Dear Mr. Cheran: The setback required for the above referenced Verizon Wireless tower is 50' plus one foot for every foot of height over the maximum for the district (35') - which equates to 165'. The tower is proposed to be setback only 100' from the property line, so we are requesting a waiver of 65'. The tower will be designed such that, should the tower collapse, it would fall on itself and the resulting fall zone would still be within the setback (i.e. 50' fall radius). Please contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, J.
