§ 11-303. Procedures for administrative review of a tower.

A project involving construction of or major modification to a tower, which is subject to administrative review pursuant to the terms of this Article, shall be submitted to the staff of the County Planning Board, and shall contain the information required by the form which is attached to Ordinance No. 99-34 in Appendix "B" and entitled "Application for Administrative Approval of Tower." The applicant must also provide a letter certifying that the tower meets or exceeds design criteria and all current local, state, and federal requirements regarding the construction, maintenance and operation of the tower; said letter to be issued by an architect, engineer, manufacturer, or other similar professional if determined to be qualified by the Planning Administrator.

If the application is complete and complies with the terms of this Article, the staff shall approve the application without the necessity for review by the full planning board. If, for any reason, the staff determines that administrative approval is not appropriate, the applicant shall be entitled to amend the application to come within the ambit of Section 11-304 and to have the amended application considered by the Planning Board. The staff shall use best efforts to provide a response to any application within five (5) working days, and a failure to respond within fifteen (15) working days after receipt of a completed application shall be deemed to be an approval of such application. Administrative review shall not be available if any variance from these regulations is requested.

The owner of the property upon which the tower sits must consent in writing to the above and Appendix B should be amended to reflect such; unless the lease for the site states otherwise.
