(e) Buffering. In all zones, existing vegetation shall be preserved to the <br />maximum extent possible. In the C-4, I-1, I-2 and I-3 zones, no buffering is <br />required beyond that required by this land use code. In all other zones, <br />landscaping shall be placed completely around the transmission tower <br />and ancillary facilities located at ground level except as required to access <br />the facility. Such landscaping shall consist of evergreen vegetation with a <br />minimum planted height of 6 feet placed densely so as to form a screen. <br />Landscaping shall be compatible with other nearby landscaping and shall <br />be kept healthy and well maintained. <br />Response: Theproposed project is a stealth transmission tower designed to look like an evergreen <br />tree (monopine) and surrounded by a 6-foot tall cedar fence. The equipment shed is designed to <br />look like an extension of the chapel on the property. The mature trees and existing vegetation <br />along the perimeter of the property will be preserved to buffer the view of the site from adjacent <br />properties.The mature trees are detailed at Attachment 04: Site Plan, SV1, as submitted with this <br />application. <br /> (f) Noise Reduction. In R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, C-1, and GO and in all other zones <br />when the adjacent property is zoned for residential use or occupied by a <br />dwelling, hospital, school, library, or nursing home, noise generating <br />equipment shall be sound-buffered by means of baffling, barriers, or <br />other suitable means to reduce sound level measured at the property line <br />to 45 dBa. <br />Response: Sound from the ancillary equipment for this project will be at or below 45 dBA, and <br />thus meets this code requirement. Please see Attachment 07: Sound Study. <br /> (g) Status of Location. No permit may be issued for the location of a new <br />telecommunications facility within an R-1 or C-1 zone unless the lot on <br />which it is to be placed is vacant or developed with a non-residential use <br />at the time the permit application is submitted. This restriction does not <br />apply within other zones. <br />Response: This proposal is located on a property zoned R-1 currently developed with a non- <br />residential use, a Church. <br /> (h) Lighting. No lighting shall be permitted on transmission towers except <br />that required by the Federal Aviation Administration. No high intensity <br />white lights may be located on transmission towers in an R-1, C-1, or PRO <br />zone. <br />Response: No onsite lighting is required or proposed. <br />(i)Color. The transmission tower and attached antennas shall be unpainted <br />galvanized steel or painted neutral colors or such shades as are <br />Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 14of 22 <br />
