Attention: Eric Lawrence County of Frederick Department of Planning & Development 107 N. Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Dear Mr. Lawrence: This letter is being sent to confirm the items of discussion in the meeting at our facility on Monday, August 26. We are embarrassed that you found it necessary to take action to get our site in compliance. Your inspection was done just two days after our 31 -day Alaska tour departed and I drove that tour. Therefore your `phone calls and your letter sat on my desk until I returned on August 21". Plans had been made prior to my departure to get the exterior of our complex completed, i.e. tires and other accumulated items removed, calls had been made and the vehicles belonging to others were to be out of here before we returned, inquiries had been made about renting a grader to complete the landscaping, and some additional shrubbery and plants were on the agenda. You beat us to the draw. Please accept this as notice that we have every intention of making this place one you will be proud to have located in Frederick County. Not because of any regulations, but simply because we care and have a reputation to uphold. We take pride in our equipment, our service and our property. Had circumstances this past year been anything other than they were, everything but the paving would have been completed. Since we are a small, family -operated company, we do much of the work ourselves and the business of keeping bills paid had to be a priority. Within the next month every effort will be made to complete our outside work, with the exception of the paving, of course, and we will notify you to "check us out" as soon as we have finished. Thanks for your understanding.

RF Engineers: SHENTEL PCS Approval: None -- Dexter TorcUlas d� �o June 17, 2002 Patrick Davenport Frederick County Department of Planning and Development 107 North Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Dear Patrick: Various candidates have been identified for this site and the search area has been relocated a number of times. The current search area is within 0.5 miles of the intersection of Berryville Avenue and Interstate 81. The proposed candidate is to provide coverage in and around this area and also serve as a capacity site to assist in the area. Previously identified sites include the co -location possibility with WINC AM and the Shoney's sign located along Berryville Ave. Both sites proved to be unsuccessful. When contacted, the AM station indicated that they were not interested in leasing space for wireless carriers. The Shoney's sign turned out to be unsuccessful because Shoney's prime lease of the property comes to termination within a year thus potentially eliminating the sign and the facility. Listed below I will give a brief summary of the currently identified properties. Candidate F: Schrock Tours Property, 220 Imboden Drive, Winchester, VA This candidate is a raw land site located behind Schrock Tours at the end of Imboden Drive, Winchester, VA. The proposed site is to the rear of the property that fronts 1-81. The site is flat and would require very little grading for construction and would provide excellent access. In the general vicinity is a trailer park to the North and numerous apartment complexes to the West and South. Additionally to the West and South are various business and commercial structures. Across I-81 to the East is another very large modular home park. This proposed site is at the approximate outer edge of the search ring. The property is zoned M-1, Light Commercial. A telecommunications tower is a permitted use in this area and would require a conditional use permit. The location of this site meets or exceeds all the requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance regarding setbacks. See attached tax map, double circle 7 parcel 7A. Candidate G: Development Company of America, Parcel for Sale Candidate G is a raw land site that is located on a parcel of commercial property located at the end of Getty Lane to the North of the Winchester Mall. The site is located approximately 1000 feet beyond the end of the parking jot. The portion of the parcel identified is about 3-4 acres and is pie shaped. The point of contact with the management group does not give a positive feeling towards the remainder of the group agreeing to sell a portion of the property. He has not provided a positive response regarding lease of the property. See attached tax map, double circle A parcel 99F. Candidate U: Old Shell Sign Structure owned by Emmart Oil Candidate H is the old Shell Sign structure. This structure currently has the sign frame and 2 carriers. It is not know if this site would pass a structural to allow for the co - location of additional antenna. And Emmart Oil could not provide any information regarding any structural capabilities. We would like to refrain from using this facility if possible and adding to the mess that is currently present. Summary: Additional contacts were made regarding other properties in the industrial area. All of these sites were also for raw land. No other significantiall structures were located in the search area or close proximity. The raw land sites in the industrial area are surrounded by single-family housing or by apartment complexes. I felt that staying at the outer parcels of the industrial area would be the least obtrusive and would provide the best location to cover the targeted search area. A search of the area has provided limited co -location opportunities. No other tall structures were located in the area that would support an antenna platform other than those that had been previously identified. Attempts have been made to meet or exceed the setback requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. The tax map that I have referred to in the above paragraphs is attached your review. I have various site pictures that I can forward to you via E-mail at your request. . Representatives from Shenandoah Personal Communications (Shentel) would like to meet with your office to determine a sense of support/non-support for this proposed facility. Please contact me at 540-335-0030 or E -Mail: lynnk crshensyc.com for any additional information that you desire. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding a meeting. As I had indicated with our earlier conversation, Thursday afternoon, early Friday after I pm on Friday afternoon would work best for this group.
