Wireless Tower Height Text Amendment (160 to 199 Feet)
At a glance
What: a Planning Board-initiated text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance raising the permitted height of wireless telecommunication towers from 160 feet to 199 feet.
Where it stands: resolved; the Planning Board approved it 5-0 on July 7 and the Commissioners passed it on July 16, per the July 21 minutes.
Next: nothing further in the record.
The change
Amends the Table of Permitted Uses, Article V special use requirements and Article VI standards.
Lee Crook explained that 199 feet stays under the FAA's 200-foot lighting threshold and restores the original intent of the wireless committee.
Setbacks of 350 feet to side and rear lines remain.
