COVERAGE OBJECTIVE:
The primary objective is to build a new site in the area of Ridings Hill that will
provide coverage especially along Marlboro Road, Germany Road, Middle
Road and Carters Lane. The addition of this site will provide service for the
residents of Ridings Hill and surrounding areas.
Cingular networks' nearest existing sites are Opequon, Stephen City, and
Middletown. This site will extend the coverage onto Marlboro Road, Middle
Road and Germany Road by providing overlapping coverage with existing
sites. This site will benefit the customers commuting along these roads and
the residents of this neighborhood. No existing structure was found which
could satisfy the Coverage needs for this Search Ring. The proposed facility
will operate with following RF parameters
This proposed installation at 1009 Germany Rd, Stephens City, VA 22655 will
not disturb or diminish with Radio, Television, Telephone or other household
electronic appliances. Cingular Wireless will work within its spectrum of
frequencies and will not interfere with county's emergency frequencies or
other county frequencies.

communications facility.
Please See the Attached Map
(2) Identification of all service providers and commercial telecommunication
facility infrastructure within a proposed search area. The applicant shall
provide confirmation that an attempt to collocate on an existing
telecommunication facility has been made.
Please See the Attached Propagation Maps
(3) Information demonstrating that the commercial telecommunication facility
is in compliance with the Federal Communication Commission's
established ANSI/IEEE standards for electromagnetic field levels and
radio frequency radiation.
Please See the Attached Radio Frequency Justification

he/she may be held responsible for the removal of the commercial
telecommunications facility as stated in 165-48.613(7).
Please See Attached Landowner Affidavit
B. The following standards shall apply to any property in which a commercial
telecommunication facility is sited, in order to promote orderly economic
development and mitigate the negative impacts to adjoining properties.
(1) The Planning Commission may reduce the required setback distance for
commercial telecommunication facilities as required by 165-24B(8) of this chapter if
it can be demonstrated that the location is of equal or lesser impact. When a reduced
setback is requested for a distance less than the height of the tower, a certified
Virginia engineer shall provide verification to the Planning Commission that the
tower is designed, and will be constructed, in a manner that if the tower collapses for
any reason the collapsed tower will be contained in an area around the tower with a
radius equal to or lesser than the setback, measured from the center of line of the base
of the tower. In no case shall the setback distance be reduced to less than '/2 the
distance of the tower height. Commercial telecommunication facilities affixed to
existing structures shall be exempt from setback requirements, provided that they are
located no closer to the adjoining property line than the existing structure.
Cingular will meet all county setback requirements in accordance
with county code.
(2) Monopole -type construction shall be required for new commercial
telecommunication towers. The Planning Commission may allow lattice -type
construction for new telecommunication towers that are located outside the Urban
Development Area and are not adjacent to properties that are identified as historic
sites.
The proposed communications facility will is designed as a monopole
in accordance with the Frederick County Ordinance. Please see attached
construction drawings page A-2.
(3) Advertising shall be prohibited on commercial telecommunication facilities
except for signage providing ownership identification and emergency information.
No more than two signs shall be permitted. Such signs shall be limited to 1.5 square
feet in area and shall be posted no higher than 10 feet above grade.
There will be no more than two signs which will provide ownership
identification and emergency information. The signs will comply with Frederick
County code and be limited to 1.5 square feet and not higher than 10 feet above
grade.
(4) When lighting is required on commercial telecommunication facility
towers, dual lighting shall be utilized which provides daytime white strobe lighting
and nighttime red pulsating lighting unless otherwise mandated by the Federal
Aviation Administration or the federal Communications Commission. Strobe
lighting, shall be shielded from ground view to mitigate illumination to neighboring
properties. Equipment buildings and other accessory structures operated in
conjunction with commercial telecommunication facility towers shall utilize infrared
lighting and motion -detector lighting to prevent continuous illumination.
Although this facility is under 200 feet and would note normally
require any lighting, due to a request by the Winchester Regional Airport.
(5) Commercial telecommunication facilities shall be constructed with
materials of a galvanized finish or painted a noncontrasting blue or gray unless
otherwise mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration or the Federal
Communications Commission.
The monopole will be constructed of galvanized steel and colored gray
in accordance with Frederick County code.
(6) Commercial telecommunication facilities shall be adequately enclosed to
prevent access by persons other than employees of the service provider. Appropriate
landscaping and opaque screening shall be provided to ensure that equipment
buildings and other accessory structures are not visible from adjoining properties,
roads or other rights-of-way.
The proposed 75'x75' area will be enclosed by a chain linked fence
with barbed wire to prevent unauthorized use. Please see attached construction
drawings A-1 and A-4.
(7) Any antenna or tower that is not operated for a continuous period of 12
months shall be considered abandoned, and the owner of such tower shall remove
same within 90 days of receipt of notice from Frederick County department of
Planning and Development. Removal includes the removal of the tower, all tower
and fence footers, underground cables and support buildings. If there are two or more
users of a single tower, then this provision shall not become effective until all users
cease using the tower. If the tower is not removed within the ninety day period, the
county will remove the facility and a lien may be placed to recover expenses.
If the tower is not operated for a continuous period of twelve months
the tower will be removed within 90 days of receipt of notice from Frederick
County department of Planning and Development.
