ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
REPORT FROM PLANNING SUPERVISOR ON TRANSMISSION TOWERS:
Allison indicated that at the May 20, 1997 meeting, Mrs. Charlene
Roberts Hunter addressed the Board regarding cellular towers and
the County's current guidelines. Since this time, the planning
office has reviewed different ordinances in comparison with
Iredell County's, however, most of these have been for cities and
towns. it was mentioned that the vast majority of towers permitted
by the County are in rural areas. Allison said the County does
require Board approval in all residential districts except the RA,
Residential Agricultural District. (The primary reason for this is
because RA is so rural in nature.) The present guidelines for
transmission towers were updated on November 7, 1995, and January
2, 1996.
MOTION by Chairman Haire to ask the planning staff to bring
back their recommendation on transmission towers.
