Prior to operation of the facility, a low volume commercial entrance (per attached) must be constructed to our standards to allow for safe egress and ingress of the property and positive drainage. Any work performed on the State's right-of-way must be covered under a land use permit. The permit is issued by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety bond coverage. <<S C N_201 005241 51 1 1 8_001. pdf>> Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to comment.

Winchester Regional Airport's Comments: SERVING THE TOP OF VIRGINIA / May 25, 2010 Evan Wyatt, AICP Greenway Engineering 151 Windy Hill Lane Winchester, Virginia 22602 WINCHESTER REGIONAL AIRPORT 491 AIRPORT ROAD WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 22602 (540) 662-5786 Re: Site Plan Final Comment 120' Monopole — AT&T POP Tower 2042 Martinsburg Pike — Winchester Dear Mr. Wyatt: The Winchester Regional Airport Authority offers the following final comment on the above referenced request for a conditional use permit as conditions to be complied with at all times: We determined that the proposed tower does not penetrate any FAR Part 77 surfaces therefore a tower located at the proposed site should not impact current or future operations at the Winchester Regional Airport. Our comment is based on the determination study completed by the Federal Aviation Administration, Aeronautical Study Number 2009 -AEA -383 -OE dated May 5, 2009. If at any time the tower height exceeds 150 AGL, the Winchester Regional Airport Authority requests the following condition be met: 1. Towers over 200 feet AGL are required by FAA to be lighted. For towers between 150 and 199 feet AGL, the Winchester Regional Airport is requiring all structures to be marked and lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1 K, Change 2. Please note on the determination study, that any variation from the information submitted by your firm for review would require a separate notice to the FAA. In addition, the determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derrick, etc., which may be used during construction of the structure as long as the equipment does not exceed the 120' height submitted. Should temporary construction equipment exceed that height, a separate notice to the FAA must be filed. This comment should be included on the building plans to ensure the contractor meets this Federal regulation. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact this office (540) 662-5786. Sincerely, '5 RYWNkX4 S. R. Manuel Executive Director June 21, 2010 Mr. Evan Wyatt Greenway Engineering 151 Windy Hill Lane Winchester, Virginia 22602 COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development RE: Telecommunications Tower Conditional Use Permit Location: 204.2 Martinsburg Pike, Winchester, VA Property Identification Numbers (PINs): 43-A-130 and 43-A-132 Zoning District: RP (Residential Performance) Dear Mr. Wyatt: 540/665-5651 FAX: 540/665-6395 The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above referenced Conditional Use Permit proposal during their meeting on June 15, 2010. The HRAB reviewed information associated with the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Surveyport and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, as well as information provided by Greenway Engineering. Historic Resources Advisory Board Concerns The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley, published by the National Park Service, shows that this site is located in the core area of the Second Battle of Winchester and the study area of Third Winchester. While this property is located within an area indentified as having lost integrity, the area directly behind this site is identified as core area for the Second Battle of Winchester that has retained its integrity. In addition to these concerns, the HRAB noted that the home located at 2042 Martinsburg Pike was built in 1947. As it is older than fifty years in age, the structure should be documented and a DHR survey should be completed. Ultimately, the HRAB was concerned about the visual impact of the tower on the core battlefield area and felt that the tower, which is proposed to serve the FEMA development across the street, should be located on the roof of the FEMA building or on the FEMA site. It was the Board's expressed priority that the applicants first make a serious and genuine effort to locate the tower on the FEMA site where existing trees and development would make the tower less visible from the battlefield. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 - Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Mr. Evan Wyatt RE: Telecommunications Tower Conditional Use Permit June 21, 2010 Page 2 The HRAB expressed a preference for a monopole telecommunication facility over a lattice facility such as has been proposed. It was suggested that monopole facilities with limited microwave dish mountings (due to the size of the microwave fixtures) would minimize visual disruptions to the historic battlefield viewshed. The HRAB does not support this request because of its visual impacts on the historical character and significant civil war battlefields in the area. As in the 2009 review of a CUP for the same site, the Board continues to recommend that the applicant document the dwelling at 20+2 Martinsburg Pike, complete the DHR surrey, and assure that the home remains intact. Please contact me with any questions concerning these comments from the HRAB. Sinc rely, Eric awrence, AICP HRAB Staff Support ERL/bad cc: Rhoda Kriz, HRAB Chair
