In response to your two inquires: 1. A condition was placed on each approved CUP application stating that "In the event a telecommunications tower is not erected within twelve (12) months of the approval of this Conditional Use Permit, then the CUP will be deemed invalid." Therefore, if you anticipate a failure to comply with this condition, it may be appropriate for you to re -apply for a CUP and have the condition modified, and the time frame extended. 2. The Hunting Ridge tower CUP approval enabled the construction of a 195 foot telecommunication tower. Therefore, you'll need to keep the tower under 195-feet tall. Feel free to contact me with questions. -Eric Kamal Doshi wrote: > Hello Eric: > Just a quick update and a request: > - The cell companies have all slowed down as they all are having trouble raising funds after problems at MCI Worldcom, Quest and others. I cannot get any feedback out of Triton (partly because of their emotional attachment to competing sites). Shentel who likes my sites is unable to commit to any specific dates because of its budget constraints. If you have had any other inquiries for Route 522 corridor please let me know. For the time being, I am going ahead with Hunting Ridge (the first tower in the series) and Cross Junction after that. Others will probably wait for more interest level. I may need to come back to you for extensions of time on zoning approvals. Please let me know how that is to be handled. , > - Regarding Hunting Ridge, we have approval for 195' tower. Our plan was to install a lightening rod of 4 feet and stay within the 199' guideline. The tower manufacturer Rohn has informed me that their towers are built in standard sections in 4' increments, thus the nearest available height to our requirement is 196' and they can ship a shorter lightening rod of 3' thus still maintaining 1991. I know this is different from the original plan but only by a small degree (1 foot) and I wanted to get your input on whether this would be acceptable. The other alternative is to build the tower shorter by four foot, which is also OK by me, but could give reason for a uncooperative future carrier to demand a new tower. > Kamal > cc: Alan Estes, Rohn (please wait till I receive feedback on this from Mr. Lawrence at Frederick County) > Mark Smith, Greenway Engineering.

Your request for a revision to Conditional Use Permit #18-01 for a 260-foot-high lattice - type telecommunications facility, rather than the 195-foot-high lattice -type tower which was approved on January 23, 2002, was approved. The approval also granted a reduction in the setback requirements against the property lines. The application was approved with the following conditions: All Zoning Ordinance requirements and review agency comments shall be addressed and complied with at all times. 2. The tower shall be available for co -locating personal wireless services providers. A minor site plan shall be approved by the County. — 4. The tower shall be removed by the applicant or property owner within twelve (12) months of abandonment of operation. 5. In the event a telecommunications tower is not erected within twelve (12) months of the approval of this Conditional Use Permit, then the CUP will be deeded invalid.

Use Permit #18-01 Cross Junction Tower. As I indicated to you, I am a new member of the FCPC and had not been involved in the initial proceedings regarding your request to place a lattice -type .telecommunications facility on -property ID Number 18 A-18. I did, however, go out to the si�e on Tuesday morning in preparation for Wednesday night'smeeting, and had an opportunity to meet two members of Mrs. Collins' family. As you know, she is the property owner adjacent to the land on which you are proposing to erect your tower. They are rural residents of Frederick County, and they expressed very deep concerns regarding this proposed tower, mostly in.reference -to "quality of W'.issues. Without having_a_map, I could not -determine what was meant by my Review notes, `The applicant has attempted to place the facility in the middle of the site (property under common ownership), maximizing the structural setback."It appears to me to be. very close to Mrs. Collins property, the road, and a small village. Would you -please clarify this -point for me? I am a lifelong -resident. of the Winchester/Frederick County area, residing in my present home for forty years. When my husband and I built our home, it was "out in the country." I enjoyed the - sounds of nature such as birds, crickets, and frogs. Now, the tractor trailer -sounds of 81 roar through my backyard. Many of the-surrounding_wetlands have been filled in, so I don't hear the frogs anymore._ As a result of all this manmade noise, I could have withdrawn from this turmoil into the peace and silence of my home. However, I chose .to adapt to my natural environment by placing stone shaped, speakers into my flower -gardens allowing tranquil.music to float upon the breeze.. This does not drowned out the truck noise completely, but I'm working on it! This past summer, I had�small pond installed at the back of my yard, and then in the fall friends stocked it with nine frogs. With great.delight, I'm anticipating -that I will hear the "Spring -Peepers" this year. The purpose of the above information is .to ask one simple, question. As you -pursue your. quest to instalLa. communication tower in what is now a very rural area of Frederick County, are you willing to work with the local residents of that small community, such as Mrs. Collins, on " quality of life issues"? This could be something as simple as adding additional landscaping such as planting lots of trees to screen the view of the base of your tower from Mrs. Collins' deck. I am well aware of the fact that the residents of The Summit want this tower, but it is not in their backyard. I am well aware the battle cry of growth, but every person needs to have a game plan, to keep a positive attitude, and to practices the art of conversation, which includes listening. This will results in the whole team winning the game. On a personal note, as an environmentalist, has the field of Telecommunications addressed the issue of towers being in the pathway of migratory birds? This has been a serious problem facing our nation as thousands of these birds have been killed over the last decadeas more _and more of these towers have been erected. Has there been a device invented which can be added to these towers as a warning signal to these transitory birds, and if so, will your tower have such an apparatus? If you have any information on this topic, I wish you would please share it with me. I have taken the liberty of including a copy of my poem, I Don't Hear the Frogs A more_ I wrote this poem as part of an Earth Day celebration in the spring of `95, but the message is still clear today which is asking all of us to be good stewards of God's creation. Looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. \Aot C d r�r _C4 4___1 Patricia W. Gochenou , Planning Commissioner: Red Biid District: Frederick County cc: Gina A.

Planning and Zoning: The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance allows for Commercial Telecommunication Facilities in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District with an approved Conditional Use Permit. The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance specifies that a CUP for a commercial telecommunication tower may be permitted provided that residential properties, land use patterns, scenic areas and properties of significant historic values are not negatively impacted. Furthermore, additional performance standards shall apply to the CUP review in order to promote orderly economic development and mitigate the negative impacts to adjoining properties. The Board of Supervisors granted the initial request for CUP#18-01 on January 23, 2002. This approval enabled the construction of a 195-foot-high lattice -type telecommunications tower. The approval also granted a reduction in the setback requirements against the property's northeast and southeast property lines. The application was approved with the following conditions: 1. All Zoning Ordinance requirements and review agency comments shall be addressed and complied with at all times. 2. The tower shall be available for co -locating personal wireless services providers. 3. A minor site plan shall be approved by the County. 4. The tower shall be removed by the applicant or property owner within twelve (12) months of abandonment of operation. 5. In the event a telecommunications tower is not erected within twelve (12) months of the approval of this Conditional Use Permit, then the CUP will be deeded invalid. Page 3 Cross Junction Tower, Revised CUP #18-01 March 6, 2002 Following discussions with the Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors, and representatives from SunCom/Triton PCS, the applicant determined that an increase in tower height to 260 feet would better accommodate the needs of the community and personal wireless service providers. Therefore, the applicant has requested the ability to increase the tower's height by 65 feet, bringing the tower height to 260 feet. The applicant contends that the increased tower height will enable personal wireless carriers to provide a more efficient service to the community as topographical restrictions will be lessened. The applicant is requesting a reduction of the setbacks pursuant to Section 165-48.6(B).1 of the Zoning Ordinance as the proposed increase in height would require an increase in structural setback distances. Based on the proposed 260-foot height, the setbacks would be as follows: Required Proposed Requesting a Setback Setback Setback Setback from: Reduction of: Northwest Property line 275 ft 220 ft 55 ft (Collins property) Northeast Property Line 275 ft —135 ft — 135 ft (Hoffman - property owned by applicant) East Property Line 275 ft — 40 ft — 235 ft (Hoffman - property owned by applicant) Southwest Property Line 285 ft 284 ft 1 ft (Route 522 North) The Planning Commission may reduce the required setback distance for commercial telecommunication facilities if it can be demonstrated that the location is of equal or lesser impact. The applicant has attempted to place the facility in the middle of the site (property under common ownership), maximizing the structural setback. The applicant has provided a letter (dated January 2, 2002) certified by the Tower Manufacturers Professional Engineer indicating that the tower can be built with a safety stress point to reduce its fall zone. The applicant is also requesting the ability to continue to utilize lattice -type material construction pursuant to Section 165-48.6(B)2 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance requires that new commercial telecommunication facilities be of monopole -type construction. The Planning Commission may allow lattice -type construction for new commercial telecommunication facilities that are located Page 4 Cross Junction Tower, Revised CUP #18-01 March 6, 2002 outside of the Urban Development Area, and are not adjacent to properties that are identified as historic areas. The proposed site is located outside of the UDA,-and is not in close proximity to any identified historic areas. Therefore, allowing a lattice -type tower would be in conformance with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. This proposed commercial telecommunication facility will be in conformance with Section 704 of the Telecommunication Act of 1996. In evaluating this application, it has been demonstrated that there is a need for the infrastructure within the area of the County identified. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 2-20-02 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: Staff believes that this application for a Commercial Telecommunication Facility has adequately addressed the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance in that need for this facility, based on a lack of coverage and capacity in this part of the County, has been demonstrated. Further, a reduction of the setback requirements, as well as allowance for a lattice -type tower construction, may be appropriate. Should the Planning Commission choose to recommend approval of this application, the following conditions of approval would be appropriate: All Zoning Ordinance requirements and review agency comments shall be addressed and complied with at all times. 2. The tower shall be available for co -locating personal wireless services providers. A minor site plan shall be approved by the County. 4. The tower shall be removed by the applicant or property owner within twelve (12) months of abandonment of operation. 5. In the event a telecommunications tower is not erected within twelve (12) months of the approval of this Conditional Use Permit, then the CUP will be deemed invalid. PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY & ACTION OF 02/20/02 MEETING: Numerous issues were discussed by the Planning Commission. Commissioners asked if SunCom/ Triton PCS had indicated for certain that the additional tower height would now meet their service requirements for this area. They verified with the applicant that the setback requirements regarding the easements would be legally recorded through a lease agreement between Shared Towers and the property owner. Commissioners verified with legal counsel that the County would not be held liable for damages, if the tower collapsed. They discussed the contents of a letter submitted by the applicant's engineer certifying that tower construction will include safety stress points to reduce the fall zone to within the property owners' boundaries and they heard the applicant's explanation of 0 0 Page 5 Cross Junction Tower, Revised CUP #18-01 March 6, 2002 specifications regarding the wind load design. Commission members also discussed the need to specify the exact height of the tower, plus the additional height required for the lightening rod. The applicant spoke with the Commission about why this particular location was selected for tower placement and his primary objectives for service coverage; he spoke of the pros and cons of using lattice structures versus monopoles; he discussed his meetings with SunCom/Triton PCS and county officials; and the Summit community's desire for service coverage. One adjoining property owner came forward and had questions regarding the distance of the tower to her property line, concerns about the possibility of the tower collapsing, and the affect on the viewshed from her home and for the Cross Junction community as a whole. Overall, the Planning Commission was satisfied that their concerns had been adequately addressed. They believed that the increased height of the tower was appropriate in light of the increased service area capability and usability by other service providers. The Commission recommended approval of the Cross Junction Tower CUP #18-01 for a 260-foot lattice telecommunications tower, with a six- foot lightening road placed at the top, with the requested setback waivers, and the following conditions: 1. All Zoning Ordinance requirements and review agency comments shall be addressed and complied with at all times. 2. The tower shall be available for co -locating personal wireless services providers. 3. A minor site plan shall be approved by the County. 4. The tower shall be removed by the applicant or property owner within twelve (12) months of abandonment of operation. 5. In the event a telecommunications tower is not erected within twelve (12) months of the approval of this Conditional Use Permit, then the CUP will be deemed invalid. The vote on this recommendation was as follows: YES (TO APPROVE): Watt, Unger, Morris, Light, Thomas, Ours, Kriz, Fisher, Triplett, Deflaven ABSTAIN: Straub, Gochenour (Note: Commissioner Rosenberry was absent from this meeting.) 0:\Agendas\COMMENTS\CUP's\2001 \CrossJunctionTowecrevi s ed.wpd WINCHESTER REGIONAL AIRPORT SERVING THE TOP OF VIRGINIA / January 22, 2002 Greenway Engineering 151 Windy Hill Lane Winchester, Virginia 22602 491 AIRPORT ROAD WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 22602 (540) 662-2422 RE:. Revised Site Plan Comments — Share Towers Cross Junction Pole — Height Increase 266' Dear Sir: The Winchester Regional Airport Authority offers the following comments on the above referenced revised site plans as conditions to be included for approval of this site ptan: 1. As required by FAA regulations, structure must be,marked and lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1 J, Obstruction Marking and lighting, Chapters 4, 8 (M-Dual) & 13 2. Consideration should be given to the owner/operator of the Timber Ridge Airport which is a private airport located approximately four nautical miles from two of the towers as to possible impact on that facility. These comments are based on review provided by our engineering firm, Delta Airport Consultants, Richmond, Virginia. They have determined that the proposed revision in the height of the tower does penetrate any FAR Part 77 surfaces therefore there should be no impact on current or future operations at the Winchester Regional Airport. Final comment will be withheld pending review of the FAA's determination of the aeronautical study. If the above referenced conditions along with any others outlined in the FAA's study are met, the Winchester Regional Airport Authority has no objections to this conditional use permit.

The approved height of this tower is 195 feet. We are requesting an increase in height to 260 feet to improve cellular coverage provided by this tower. Winchester Regional Airport has provided its comments on this height increase. All other Agencies comments remain unaffected, as the nature of their concerns would not be affected by this height increase. We have also obtained and attached a letter certified by the Tower Manufacturers Professional Engineer indicating that the tower can be built with a safety stress point to reduce its fall zone. The attached sketch indicates that the height increase will require additional setback waivers. We request your approval of the height increase through the Frederick County Planning Commission and the Frederick County Board of Supervisors as the proposed structure will not affect the safety of the adjoining neighbors as we commit to designing stress points for the tower to fall within the landlord's properties.

January 2, 2002 Shared Towers, LLC 6501 Sandy Knoll Court McLean, VA 22101 Attn: Kamal Doshi Reference: 250' SSV Tower Frederick County, Virginia The referenced tower will be designed to meet the specified loading requirements in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-222-F Standards for a 70 MPH basic wind speed, no ice. The 70 MPH basic wind speed is assumed constant up to 33' above ground level and is escalated to an effective wind speed of approximately 98 MPH at the top of the tower. In the event an extreme wind speed were to occur, failure would not be expected to occur the instant the design wind speed was exceeded. All tower members will be designed to support a minimum of 1.25 times their design load without permanent deformation. This would be equivalent to an effective wind speed of 82 MPH at the base of the tower and escalate to 110 MPH at the top of the tower. Based on customer specifications, the tower may be designed with heavier members than required by analysis in the lower portion of the structure. Therefore, in the unlikely case of failure, the point at which such failure would occur would be in the upper portion of the tower, allowing the upper portion to fold over the lower portion, limiting the area affected by the failure. Please contact us at your convenience should you have further questions concerning the safety of tower structures or other aspects of tower design. ; Please reference this letter with any forthcoming purchase orders where local �ined fall radius. requiremenWto ' Sincer �,(s T Azouri'vwr,' a in2 Adn i tiOr HJ cc: Al Est Ken Cordrey _ r T COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/665-5651 FAX: 540/ 665-6395 PICAIFICAMICA'sl Of PUBLIC HEAl"WINIG February 6, 2002 TO: THE APPLICANT(S) AND/OR ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS(S) RE: HEIGHT REVISION REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION #18-01 FOR THE CROSS JUNCTION TOWER On behalf of the Frederick County Planning Commission, you are hereby notified of a public hearing being held on Wednesday, February 20, 2002, at 7:00 p.m. in the Board Room of the Frederick County Administration Building at 107 N.

Although not required by FAA, structure should be marked and lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1 J, Obstruction Marking and lighting, Chapters 4, 8 (M-Dual) & 13 2. Consideration should be given to the owner/operator of the Timber Ridge Airport which is a private airport located approximately four nautical miles from two of the towers as to possible impact on that facility. These comments are based on the review provided by our engineering firm, Delta Airport Consultants, Richmond, Virginia. They have determined that these. proposed towers do not penetrate any FAR Part 77 surfaces therefore there should be no impact on current or future operations at the Winchester Regional Airport. If the above referenced conditions along with any outlined in the FAA study are met, the Winchester Regional Airport Authority has no objections to these site plans. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact this office (430) 662-5786. Sincerely, S. R.

Manuel Executive Director Winchester Regional Airport 491 Airport Road Winchester, Virginia 22602 T Dear Ms. Wel- RE: Communications Towers Share Towers - Greenway Engineering Winchester Regional Airport Winchester, Virginia Delta Project No. N/A We have reviewed the three (3) Frederick County Conditional Use Permits from Greenway Engineering sent to us with your letter dated October 15, 2001. We find that the none of the towers penetrate any FAR Part 77 Surface associated with Winchester Regional. Airport. The following summary details the positions of the three proposed towers: Hunting Ridge 45,202' (8.6 miles) 17,152' (3.2 miles)- 1,116' MSL Pole right Cross Junction 71,488' (13.5 miles) 16,426' (3.1 miles)- 1,175' MSL Pole right Reynolds Store 85,749' (16.2 miles) 31,479' (6.0 )- right 1,325' MSL Pole These towers are all far enough from the airport that they will not be a factor in any future airport development as currently depicted on the approved Airport Layout Plan. However, two private airports, Al and Timber Ridge, both located about 14 nautical miles from Winchester Regional Airport along the extended RW 32 centerline, may be affected as they are each about four nautical miles from two of the towers.

Lawrence County of Frederick 107 North Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Dear Mr. Lawrence: Map of Cellular Towers in the County and Update I have enclosed a map showing locations of cell towers in the county. You will recall that we had agreed to provide such a map per discussion with Mr. Harrington Smith at January 23`d meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Greenway Engineering has submitted on January 25th: • An amendment to the application for Cross Junction tower to raise it to 260' to allow placement of Shentel and other carriers at very good heights of 260', 250', 240', 230' respectively. A new application to move Hunting Ridge tower approximately 1100' South. This moves the tower closer to Route 522 and at a meeting hosted by planning department SunCom/Triton had agreed that this location would work better for them. Shentel has agreed to go on this tower at either location. As this move allows the tower to be away from the landowners' driveway, they have agreed to allow lattice structure, so we are requesting permission for that change also. Upon approval, we will withdraw the approved CUP for the original location. I understand that these will be heard by the Planning Commission and later submitted to the Board of Supervisors for action.

This land disturbance include access roads and site development. Winchester Regional Airport: Please see attached letter from Serena R. Manuel, Executive Director, dated 10122101. Planning and Zoning: The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance allows for Commercial Telecommunication Facilities in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District with an approved Conditional Use Permit. The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance specifies that a CUP for a commercial telecommunication tower may be permitted provided that residential properties, land use patterns, scenic areas and properties of significant historic values are not negatively impacted. Furthermore, additional performance standards shall apply to the CUP review in order to promote orderly economic development and mitigate the negative impacts to adjoining properties. The applicant proposes to build a 195-foot lattice -type telecommunication facility that is designed to accommodate commercial telecommunication carriers. The proposed facility will be located on a 96.41-acre site located east of Route 522. The applicant has provided an inventory of existing telecommunication facilities in the area, and staff would concur that there are no existing facilities or appropriate structures available for collocation in this general area. The maps provided within the application analyzing coverage need in this area appear to be sufficient to determine the adequacy of the search area, and the existing coverage and capacity of the licensee holder in the vicinity of the proposed facility. As shown on the maps, the coverage needs will be met by a facility in this location. The applicant will be required to provide lighting to comply with the requirements of the Winchester Regional Airport Authority. The lights shall comply to FAA standards as noted in the letter submitted by the Director of the Airport Authority. The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance requires that these lights be shielded from ground view to mitigate illumination to neighboring properties and right-of- ways. Buffer and screening requirements will be determined at site plan review. The applicant is requesting a reduction of the setbacks pursuant to Section 165-48.6(B).1 of the Zoning Ordinance as they are proposing to locate the commercial telecommunication facility approximately 35 feet from property line boundaries. The Zoning Ordinance provisions require that towers of 195 feet or higher (as is proposed) be placed a minimum of 220 feet from road right-of- ways and 210 feet from side property lines. The Planning Commission may reduce the required setback distance for commercial telecommunication facilities if it can be demonstrated that the location is of equal or lesser impact. The applicant has attempted to place the facility in the middle of the site maximizing the structural setback. The request for a reduced setback of 35 feet from the property line has been made in order to provide increased flexibility in the exact location for the placement of this tower. Cross Junction Tower, CUP #18-01 Page 3 January 16, 2002 The applicant is requesting the ability to utilize lattice -type material construction pursuant to Section 165-48.6(B)2 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance requires that new commercial telecommunication facilities be of monopole -type construction. The Planning Commission may allow lattice -type construction for new commercial telecommunication that are located outside ofthe Urban Development Area, and are not adjacent to properties that are identified as historic areas. The proposed site is located outside of the UDA, and is not in close proximity to any identified historic areas. Therefore, allowing a lattice -type tower would be in conformance with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. This proposed commercial telecommunication facility will be in conformance with Section 704 of the Telecommunication Act of 1996. In evaluating this application, it has been demonstrated that there is a need for the infrastructure within the area of the County identified. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 12-05-01 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: Staff noted that the applicant has stated by letter, dated November 15, 2001, that this tower will have space available free of charge for Frederick County emergency communications. Staff believes that this application for a commercial telecommunication facility has adequately addressed the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance in that need for this facility, based on a lack of coverage and capacity in this part of the County, has been demonstrated. Further, a reduction of the setback requirements, as well as allowance for a lattice -type tower construction, may be appropriate. Should the Planning Commission choose to recommend approval of this application, the following conditions of approval would be appropriate: All Zoning Ordinance requirements and review agency comments shall be addressed and complied with at all times. 2. The tower shall be available for co -locating personal wireless services providers. 3. A minor site plan shall be approved by the County. 4. The tower shall be removed by the applicant or property owner within twelve (12) months of abandonment of operation. PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY & ACTION OF 12/05/01: An attorney representing Triton, PCS, a licensed service provider in Frederick County, requested that the CUP application be denied or deferred until his client could submit their own tower applications for alternative sites. The representative stated that studies conducted by his clients determined that serious transmission gaps would occur along Rt. 522, if the Hunting Ridge and Cross Junction tower sites were used with Triton's system. The 0:\Agendas\COMMENTS\CUP's\2001 \Cross3.wpd Cross Junction Tower, CUP #18-01 Page 4 January 16, 2002 representative said that his client believed a tower should not be constructed until a service provide has a need for the tower in a specific location. A radio frequency engineer and a deployment manager were also present to speak on behalf of Triton, PCS. An adjoining property owner spoke in opposition to the request for a reduction of the setbacks for placement . of the tower. The applicant and the applicant's representative believed their business's success depended on designing towers for multiple users and, if a tower is empty or only has one tenant, their project has failed. They believed the data provided was good, credible data, provided by radio frequency engineers with 40+ years of experience. The applicant stated that he had met with representatives of Triton and he believed a technical solution was available to Triton to meet their particular needs. The applicant believed that the tower locations as proposed were appropriately placed. Planning Commissioners discussed whether it was more appropriate for the service provider or the tower provider to determine the most appropriate tower locations. Some commissioners were not in favor of tower speculators; they believed it would necessitate service providers coming in with "fill-in" tower requests. Other commissioners were of the opinion that Triton, PCS's coverage requirements would not necessarily be duplicated by another service provider. Further, a reduction of the setback requirements, as well as allowance for a lattice -type tower construction, may be appropriate. By a majority vote, the Planning Commission recommended approval of CUP # 18-01 with a reduction of the setback requirements, as well as allowance for a lattice -type tower construction, as requested, with the following conditions: 1. All Zoning Ordinance requirements and review agency comments shall be addressed and complied with at all times. 2. The tower shall be available for co -locating personal wireless services providers. 3. A minor site plan shall be approved by the County. 4. The tower shall be removed by the applicant or property owner within twelve (12) months of abandonment of operation.

Sir: The Winchester Regional Airport Authority offers the following comments on the above referenced site plans as conditions to be included for approval of this site plan: 1. Although not required by FAA, structure should be marked and lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1J, Obstruction Marking and lighting, Chapters 4, 8 (M-Dual) & 13 2. Consideration should be given to the owner/operator of the Timber Ridge Airport which is a private airport located approximately four nautical miles from two of the towers as to possible impact on that facility. These comments are based on the review provided by our engineering4irm, Delta Airport Consultants, Richmond, Virginia. They have determined that these proposed towers do not penetrate any FAR Part 77 surfaces therefore there should be no impact on current or future operations at the Winchester Regional Airport. If the above referenced conditions along with any outlined in the FAA study are met, the Winchester Regional Airport Authority has no objections to these site plans. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact this office (430) 662-5786. Sincerely, S. R.

Manuel Executive Director Winchester Regional Airport 491 Airport Road Winchester, Virginia 22602 Dear Ms. Wel. RE: Communications Towers Share Towers - Greenway Engineering Winchester Regional Airport Winchester, Virginia Delta Project No. N/A We have reviewed the three (3) Frederick County Conditional Use Permits from Greenway Engineering sent to us with your letter dated October 15, 2001. We find that the none of the towers penetrate any FAR Part 77 Surface associated with Winchester Regional Airport. The following summary details the positions of the three proposed towers: Hunting Ridge 45,202' (8.6 miles) 17,152' (3.2 miles)- 1,116' MSL Pole right Cross Junction 71,488' (13.5 miles) 16,426' (3.1 miles)- 1,175' MSL Pole right Reynolds Store 85,749' (16.2 miles) 31,479' (6.0 )- right 1,325' MSL Pole These towers are all far enough from the airport that they will not be a factor in any future airport development as currently depicted on the approved Airport Layout Plan. However, two private airports, Al and Timber Ridge, both located about 14 nautical miles from Winchester Regional Airport along the extended RW 32 centerline, may be affected as they are each about four nautical miles from two of the towers. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Rincerely, C. Longnaker, P.E.
