The applicant is requesting approval to collocate three telecommunication antennas to an existing
telecommunication monopole. The top height of the existing pole is 65 feet and the antennas will be
mounted at a height of 45 feet eight inches measured to the top of the antennas. Three associated
equipment cabinets totaling approximately 25 square feet will be located at ground level adjacent to an
existing telecommunications building. The height of the cabinets will be approximately 6.5 feet and
will be enclosed by a six foot tall cyclone fence. The collocation of telecommunication facilities is
strongly supported by the Town. Therefore, a recommendation for approval should be forwarded to the
County subject to the recommendation that the color of the antennas match the existing monopole. It
is acceptable to the Town if the color of the entire monopole be modified to better blend with the
hillside.
