Re: shared Towers Revised CUP -North Gainesboro (White fail Lane) Tower
Dear Mr. Lawrence:
As you know, Shared Towers, Inc. has submitted a new conditional use permit application to request an
extension of time for the construction of a 195 -foot lattice telecommunication tower on parcel 19-A-27
owned by the Winchester -Frederick County Conservation Club, Inc. The condition for construction of this
tower expires on January 23, 2003; therefore, it is requested that the revised conditional use permit
application is included as an agenda item during the December 4, 2002 Planning Commission meeting and
the January 8, 2003 Board of Supervisors meeting.
Thank you for your assistance regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Greenway Engineering

Dear Mr. Lawrence:
CUP # 22-01 for the White Tail Lane Telecommunications Facili
We are in need for an extension in the time allowed to complete construction of the telecommunication facility.
Until now,. I have made diligent efforts to attract the users of facility to make a commitment to the facility. In each
case, the response I am getting is that due to slowdown in telecommunications industry (as a result of financial
market conditions all are limiting their expenditures to improving existing services and cutting back on new
coverage areas) they are unable to commit to specific timeline when they would install their systems on the
proposed towers. They are also saying that ultimately they will cover Route 522 in Frederick County, it is a matter
of finding resources.
We have in the meantime, taken all the steps necessary_ (site plan approval, specifications ready, bids obtained, etc)
to build promptly upon positive response from users.
We continue to spend money in good faith to bring telecommunications facilities to this section of the county. I
have obtained the building, permit. issued construction contract and purchase order for the tower steel for the tower
nearest to Winchester (Hunting Ridge). That tower should be constructed soon.
Since, the county requires empty towers to be taken down, and for economic reasons, it is not prudent to build
towers and have them sit empty. At the same time. all indications are that these towers are needed and wireless
companies will install their services on them.
Hence, I request processing of an application to extend the time granted by this CIP for a period of twelve months
Sincerely,
Kamal Doshi
