Hayes Inc. (Hayes)is hereby applying for a Special Exception Use and a Variance of <br /> Developmental Standards to construct a 235' (240' overall)telecommunications facility on property <br /> owned by Hayes at 324 West Garst Street. The proposed facility will supplement an existing 349 <br /> foot tower and compound at that location. <br /> 0 The Variance of Developmental Standards are as follows: <br /> 1) A lattice-type, self-support tower is proposed instead of'a monopole-type tower because <br /> t this tower will primarily be used for point to point microwave telecommunications. It is <br /> impractical to mount microwave dish type antennas on a monopole. <br /> 2) A 240' tower is proposed instead of 200' tower because this height is necessary to <br /> accommodate multiple antennas at required heights. <br /> 3) No landscaping is proposed for the compound as extended on the south because there is <br /> an existing chain link fence on the adjoining property and no room for planting. <br /> All existing driveways, landscaping, fencing, utilities,and compound areas including the expanded <br /> compound area that will contain the new tower and equipment buildings will continue to be <br /> maintained in the same meticulous fashion. <br /> INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRYTm <br />
