The tower design will support the radio route, plus have cellular and first responder capabilities. The required site for this communications tower is adjacent to AT&T's existing communications building at 2032 Martinsburg Pike, Winchester, VA. AT&T has chosen this location because of the existence of a network access point (POP). Construction of this route will primarily serve our federal customers location at Mt. Weather, VA in support of mission critical customer network applications.

Date Typed or Printed name and Title of Person Filing Notice Signature i FAA Form 7460-1 (5-07) Supercedes Previous Edition NSN: 005$-00-012-0008 January 21, 2009 Ms. Christy Lowrey 1503 Edwards Ferry Road Leesburg VA 10176 COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/665-5651 FAX: 540/665-6395 RE: Telecommunications Tower Conditional Use Permit Location: 2042 Martinsburg Pike, Winchester, VA Property Identification Numbers (PINs):43-A-130 and 43-A-132 Zoning District: RP (Residential Performance) Dear Ms. Lowrey: The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above referenced rezoning proposal during their meeting on January 13, 2009. The HRAB reviewed information associated with the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey Report, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, as well as information provided by Dewberry 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. The Northeast Land Use Plan of the Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan shows the area where this proposed telecommunications tower is located as a Developmentally Sensitive Area (DSA). The DSA designation is meant to ensure that historical features, as well as existing residential clusters, are protected from future development proposals. 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. HRAB members also discussed the home's value as a part of the DSA. 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. The Board also 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 Winchester, Virginia 2260i-5000 Ms. Christy Lowrey RE: Telecommunications Tower Conditional Use Permit January 21, 2009 Page 2 R felt that the FEMA location provided the tower with a more appropriate level of security. The HRAB has chosen to postpone their approval of this project as proposed, as it feels that the applicant has not made the appropriate effort to locate tie tower on the FEMA site itself. However, should the owner of the FEMA site be unwi':ling to entertair_ any such arrangement, the Board did discuss and recommend that the applicant document le dwelling on 2042 Martinsburg Pike, complete the DHR survey, and assure that the horne remains intact.
