Proposed Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance: Owner/Applicant Benchmark CMR,
Inc., Requests an Amendment to SR 31, Radio, Television or Communication
Transmission Towers: Planning Director Ron Smith said this amendment pertained to the
setback requirements for "tall' transmission towers (not wireless or cell towers) in limited areas
of the county.
Applicant Jessica Sick with Benchmark CMR, said a client had requested the
amendment. She said one revision was for a setback requirement of one -foot per each one -foot
of tower height along with a provision to allow towers to encroach on the setback if the
encroachment was certified by an engineer. She said the purpose was to ensure that if the tower
fell, it would fall totally within the setback distance. Sick said the amendment had no risk for the
county, rather the design and certification responsibilities would be placed on the engineer. She
said another request was for a separation between the towers and residential dwellings (one foot
to one foot setback from any residential towers). Sick said this setback could not be waived
upon a certification, and this would only be for existing residential dwellings. Ms. Sick said the
final amendment stated that transition towers would meet all applicable federal aviation
administration standards. She said tower developers had to provide a determination of no hazard
from the FAA.
