We have reviewed the FAA Aeronautical Study No. 2012 -AEA -5145 -OE and included in the FAA determination is a statement thai cranelconstruction equipment exceeding the maximum height provided as 197` will require separate filing for crane/equipment operations with the FAA for review and comment. This would not require review by the Winchester Airport. 2. To maintain a safe navigable airspace environment for medevac and aircraft operations in Frederick County the Winchester Regional Airport Authority requests proposed towers/structures between 150' and 199' AGL to be marked and lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460 -IK, Change 2, Obstruction Marking and Lighting. As a condition to be met for approval of this CUP, I am requesting that the proposed tower be marked and lighted accordingly with the standards in the referenced FAA AdAsory Circular. This completes our review comments. Should you have questions or require additional information, please *do not hesitate contacting my office. Thank you for your cooperation in support of a safe navigable airspace environment in Frederick County. Sincerely, Serena R.

Donohue & Stearns, PLC 801 North Fairfax Street, Suite 209 Alexandria, Virginia 22314 COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/665-5651 FAX: 540/665-6395 RE: Application Requesting a Conditional Use Permit Application for a 195' Monopole Telecommunications Facility — Verizon — 2250 Back Mountain Road Property Identification Number (PIN): 49-A-28 Current Zoning District: RA (Rural Area) Dear Ms. Themak: The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above referenced conditional use permit application at their meeting on May 21, 2013. The HRAB reviewed information associated with the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Surve�Report, 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 195 -foot monopole commercial telecommunications tower with accessory equipment building on a property located at 2250 Back Mountain Road in the Back Creek Magisterial District. Historic Resources Advisory Board Concerns The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley, published by the National Park Service, does not identify the proposed tower site or the surrounding areas as being part of a battlefield. The Rural Landmarks Survey Report for Frederick County, Virginia, identifies three historic structures located within the vicinity of the proposed tower, one of which is located on site. All of these properties are listed as potentially significant. The sites that are listed in the survey are: House, Route 600 (#34-357) — On site Larrick Legge House (04-339) Schultz House (04-385) After reviewing this information and the applicant's materials and proposals, the Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) recommended that the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors approve the proposed conditional use permit application with the following condition: 107 North Fent Street, Suite 202 e Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Ms. Tracy L. Themak, Esq. Re: Conditional Use Permit Application for Verizon May 31, 2013 Page 2 The applicant at a minimum should prepare a detailed preliminary information sheet (PIF) for the subject property, but should consider a PIF for the surrounding area because this area could be a potential rural historic district. This PIF should be included as part of the Conditional Use Permit Application submitted to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Please contact me with any questions concerning these comments from the HRAB. Sincerely, Candice Perkins, AICP Senior Planner CEP/bad cc: Lauren Murphy, HRAB Chair
