UNFINISHED BUSINESS
SUP 2018-03 763 James Madison Highway
Ms. Schaeffer briefed the Commission on the SUP application for the purposes of
propane fuel distribution and storage facility on a 1.34 acre of a nine acre parcel located at 763
James Madison Highway and included the Staff recommended conditions. The applicant and
staff have worked out all issues for both the fire hydrant location and the site access.
Mr. Zarabi moved to deny the application, Mr. Moore seconded the denial.
Mr. Zarabi noted in his research and in his conversation with numerous people within the
community he has indeed heard good things about the company and their services. While Mr.
Zarabi noted his support for the company he relayed he cannot support the application as he does
not feel it is the best use for the land and he does not feel that this application does not provide a
benefit to the community.
The vote was called to question to vote in DENIAL of the application. Motion failed.
Ayes: Mr. Ali Zarabi, Vice Chair;

Nays: Mr. Mark Moore; Ms. Anna Maas; Ms. Helander
Abstention: Mr. Gerald Johnston; Mr. James Lawrence
Ms. Maas moved to recommend approval of the SUP, Mr. Moore seconded the motion.
Mr. Moore made comment that he does still have concerns with the application. However he
agrees he does not want to hold out the vote any longer. He does feel that Mr. Stewart also has
several concerns and questions that have not been answered yet. Ms. Maas asked if Mr. Moore
knew what Mr. Stewart’s concerns were. Mr. Moore said he believed it was mostly concerns
about safety however, he was not completely sure. Mr. Stewart also mentioned the concerns
about the fire hydrant. Ms. Helander stated while she agrees there are some issues to be worked
out with the installation of a fire hydrant she does not feel it is fair to put the entire financial
burden on the applicant. Ms. Schaeffer stepped in and said it would be possible to add additional
conditions to the motion. The conditions that were on the motion were staff recommended
however, she recommended that it would be possible to amend the motion to include a one year
review. Mr. Moore seconded the motion for approval to include the addition of a one year
review.
Ms. Maas moved to recommend approval of the SUP, Mr. Moore seconded the motion
with the recommended additional condition.

WORKSESSION
SUP 2017-03/CP 2017-01 721 Industrial Road
A Special Use Permit (SUP) and Commission Permit (CP) application to allow for a 140'
telecommunications monopole to be constructed addressing a stated Verizon service void on a
6.2 acre parcel located at 721 Industrial Road.
Ms. Harris briefed the Commission on application.
Scott Von Rein, with Capital Telecom addressed the commission by giving an extensive
overview of the location, type and specifics that would be encompassed in the monopole
construction.
COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION
Mr. Zarabi commented on the similarity of two special use permits, Blossman and
Industrial Road. He noted the commission should explore what the real benefit of the
community is.
Ms. Helander stated that while most would not like another tower in town, she and Mr.
Johnston both agreed that the need for better service in and around the town is important to our
citizens. All were in agreement that the location is very important and Ms Schaffer expounded
upon the location possibilities for the tower that would be better suited for the tower. Mr.
Lawrence questioned the ‘expert’ that Mr. VanRhyne kept referencing. Ms. Schaeffer clarified
that the Town did hire a firm but that firm simply identified there was a coverage gap and the
town was in need of a tower.
There were no additional comments from the Commission.
COMMENTS FROM STAFF
Ms. Schaeffer informed the Commission about the Town of Warrenton’s Facebook page
and other social media pages. She directed their attention to a few specific posts. Ms. Harris,
briefed the Commission that there will be a Work Session held on September 25 to go over the
draft of the Article 6. It is possible the ARB may be invited to sit in on the consultant’s report.

I. Summary:
A. Owner: Carter Machinery Company, Inc.

B. Applicant: Capital Telecom Holdings, LLC
C. Request - The request is for a Commission Permit (CP) per Article 11-3.8 (“2232 Review”) and
Special Use Permit (SUP) per Article 3-4.12.3 Permissible Uses by Special Use Permit, to allow
for construction of a 140’ wireless telecommunication facility with an additional 5’ lightening
rod on an approximately 6.2 acre parcel.
D. Site Location - The site is located at 721 Industrial Road (see maps in Attachment A). The site is
identified as GPIN 6983-77-6556-000.
E. Comprehensive Plan - The site is designated Light Industrial on the Future Land Use Map.

II. Outstanding Issues:
The applicant has worked with the Town since 2013 to find a site to address a service gap in the County.
With the addition of the tower in the Town addressing the service gap in the County, there would be some
capacity benefits realized by the Town, but only to the most southern portion of Town. The current
proposed site does not meet the Zoning Ordinance setbacks. As such, if the Town Council approves the
721 Industrial Road
September 18, 2018
Page 2
land use entitlement, the applicant will still have to seek approval from the Board of Zoning Appeals
(BZA). This approval is not a foregone conclusion as the applicant must demonstrate a hardship to be
granted a variance. The lack of break point technology not being adopted by the Town may not be
considered a hardship. This technology allows the fall zone to be substantially reduced. As the application
is presented and legally advertised for the whole 6.2 acre site, if the CP and SUP are approved, than the
applicant will have flexibility to build as proposed with BZA approval or shift the location to meet
setbacks if the BZA denies the variance.
III. Staff Recommendation:
The Planning Commission will take this application in two motions. The first motion is to determine if
the proposed use is in substantial accordance with the Comprehensive Plan per Article 11-3.8 of the
Zoning Ordinance and §15.2-2232 of the Code of Virginia.
The second motion is to review the SUP proposal. Staff has drafted Conditions of Approval that require
the applicant to obtain approval from the Board of Zoning Appeals, employ break point technology and
certify prior to construction, and various other requirements related to landscaping, fencing, and lighting.
However, the draft conditions still do not change the fact the application does not meet required setbacks
and the Board of Zoning Appeals may not find for a hardship.
The Planning Commission may choose to explore three options. One is to recommend denial of the SUP
application due to not approving the Commission Permit, or outstanding issues like the setbacks not being
met as presented and other identified concerns; two is to allow the applicant to request postponement of
Planning Commission action until concerns are further addressed; or three, recommend approval to the
Town Council based on the accompanying draft Conditions of Approval.
IV. Suggested Motions:
1. I move the Planning Commission find Commission Permit 2017-01 to be substantially in accordance
with the Comprehensive Plan by demonstrating there are no existing structures that meet the co-
location needs and by not locating in the Historic District.
OR
2. I move the Planning Commission find Commission Permit 2017-01 not to be substantially in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan due to the location being adjacent to the Warrenton Branch
Greenway, visibility to the Historic District, and proximity to the Journey Through Hallowed Ground
National Scenic Byway, Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area, and the Town’s
southern gateway. The proposed telecommunications facility would irreparably harm the historical
character and view shed of these nationally recognized areas.
AND
3. I move that the Planning Commission recommend approval of SUP 2017-03 subject to the SUP Plan
and the Conditions of Approval dated September 18, 2018.

Staff Analysis
Application Background
The Commission Permit (CP) and Special Use Permit (SUP) applicant, Capital Telecom Holdings, LLC, is
proposing to construct a 140’ wireless telecommunication facility with an additional 5’ lighting rod on a 6.2 acre
parcel located at 721 Industrial Road. The property is owned by Carter Machinery Company, Inc. that currently
uses the eastern portion of the parcel adjacent to U.S. Route 29. The subject parcel is zoned Industrial and
identified on the Future Land Use Map as Light Industrial.
In 2013, Capital Telecom submitted a similar application for a wireless facility at 267 Alwington Boulevard. After
a Planning Commission public hearing the application was withdrawn to allow the applicant time to explore
alternative, less visible sites. In late 2017, the applicant submitted a new Commission Permit and Special Use
Permit application at the 721 Industrial Road site that took into account surrounding existing structures, topology,
and research of multiple alternative sites.
The application contains a Statement of Justification, RF Design Report, photo simulations, and SUP Plans. The
proposed monopole will include space for up to four providers. This site was chosen to fill a service void in the
County between the Leesview structure off U.S. Route 29 and the Town water tower. Verizon had submitted a
Letter of Intent to locate on the structure. The applicant is proposing to paint the tower a color to help conceal it
against the sky.
On August 21, 2018, the Planning Commission held a work session on the proposal. The Planning Commission
asked the applicant for additional information regarding:
• Samples of towers in varying colors and types of concealment designs (silo, water tower, etc).
• Coverage from additional locations, including the power lines to the east, the state police location to the
SE, and approved but not yet built towers in the County.
• Better understanding of usage. For example, the percentage capacity Verizon is at now on the existing
towers, how much would the new tower lower that capacity, when is Verizon forecasting there will be a
problem, and would this new tower solve the capacity issues until what anticipated date?
• How does this new tower work with 5G and will it become obsolete?
• What is the benefit to the Town when there is the existing water tower with coverage?
• Placement on the proposed site that meets setbacks and has less intrusive nature on the Greenway. As the
applicant is aware, this has been an ongoing staff concern and a hardship will need to be demonstrated to
the Board of Zoning Appeals in order for a variance to be granted.
• Additional simulation pictures from Old Town, adjacent to the site on the Greenway, and the approach
into Town from the gateway entrance. The Planning Commission may request a balloon test.
On September 4, 2018, the applicant submitted additional materials to address alternative sites, photo simulations
from additional locations, and tower design treatments. Many of the above questions were addressed in the
response letter and Millennium Engineering letter dated August 29, 2018 (Attached background material).
The following is a more detailed analysis of the application.
SUP 2018-03
Page B-1
State and Federal Telecommunication Laws
The proposed use is governed by stated and federal laws for telecommunications facilities. The Middle Class Tax
Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (“Spectrum Act”) is an example that governs how localities and proposed
telecommunications facilities may interact with each other on land use decisions. As such, the Town hired
Cityscape Consultants, Inc that provides technical assistance to localities across the country, including Fauquier
County. Localities have the ability to review height, location, safety, and type of structure. Cityscape worked with
staff and the applicant on analyzing the radio frequency (RF) engineering reports, the proposed sites, and
navigating the specialized field of telecommunications.
Cityscape advised the Town that the federal telecommunication laws grant localities “absolute right” to govern
height, location, safety, and type of structure. This is important for this proposed use when considering the
following facts:
Height: Impacts historical view shed of the Town’s Historic District, the Journey Through Hallowed
Ground National Heritage Area, and the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Scenic
Byway that transverses Main Street, Falmouth Street, and James Madison Highway where it joins
U.S. Route 29.
Location: Does not meet setbacks and is adjacent to the Warrenton Branch Greenway.
Safety: The proposed breakpoint technology would bring the tower falling within 2.5’ of the Greenway if
there is a failure.
Type: The proposed monopole does not utilize concealment techniques beyond paint color.
One detail of the federal law is called out in proposed condition number three. This condition references a
onetime exception to increase the height of the tower granted by Section 6409 (a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief
and Job Creation Act of 2012. This means if the use is granted, and the facility is found eligible, the tower might
increase in height 10% or 20’, whichever is greater.
Condition number 12 speaks to one co-location space on the tower to be reserved for the Town of Warrenton or
Fauquier County. It is common practice for telecommunication tower companies to agree to provide space on
towers for emergency services and/or broadband.
Finally, condition number 14 speaks to the structure being dismantled within 120 days if the facility is no longer
in use.
Board of Zoning Appeals
Since the Zoning Ordinance was adopted, the technology of wireless telecommunication monopoles has
advanced. The Zoning Ordinance requires setbacks that take into account a 1:1 fall zone. However, monopoles are
now constructed with “break point” technology. The applicant submitted letter from Valmont Structures stating
the “pole is effectively designed to collapse within a theoretical 0 ft radius.” Further the applicant submitted an
independent engineering letter stating that the monopole, as designed, would have a maximum fall zone of 70’ if
there was a failure.
The applicant is proposing to locate the structure 72’6” from the property line on two sides. While this keeps the
monopole within the boundary of the property in case of a failure, it does not meet the adopted setbacks of the
approved Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, if the Commission Permit and Special Use Permit are granted, the
applicant will still be required to seek a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals to locate the facility as
proposed on the SUP Plan.
CP 2017-01/SUP 2017-03
Page B-2
The legal ads and public notice have been issued for the entire 6.2 acre site. This will enable to the applicant to
negotiate the specific location on the site further with the property owner should the use be entitled but the
variance denied.
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Analysis
The 2002 Comprehensive Plan designates this parcel as Light Industrial on the Future Land Use Map. The goal
for Light Industrial states “To encourage and plan for clean and light industrial activities that are economically
beneficial and compatible with the needs, character, and environment of the Town.” Light Industrial areas are
envisioned to “include light manufacturing, flex industrial uses and wholesale commercial uses, with limited
office uses. Industrial land uses should be limited to uses that do not generate inordinate amounts of noise, smoke,
dust, odors, heat, or electrical disturbances. Industrial sites should be co-located or located near one another.
Scattered or strip sites are strongly discouraged. Uses should be limited to those that will provide a variety of
light industrial uses that will contribute to the creation of new businesses and retention and expansion of existing
businesses, with very limited support for commercial uses allowed as integrated elements of the industrial
development for the purpose of reducing traffic generation from the site.”
The applicant’s Statement of Justification states the proposed use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan
as it does not “generate inordinate amounts of noise, smoke, dust odors, heat or electrical disturbances as
recommended by the Plan.” The nearest residential use is approximately 1200 feet to the north. Most importantly,
the applicant argues there are no existing structures of facilities sufficient to meet the need to fill the service void.
The applicant has provided propagation maps, technical studies, and analysis of various alternative locations.
They state there is no other viable location to meet the need.
Staff Findings: The application for the proposed use is both a Commission Permit and a Special Use Permit. The
Commission Permit focuses on whether the proposed use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan as
outlined in the Zoning Ordinance section 11-3.8 which states:
“In accord with the Code of Virginia, §15.2-2232, no street, park or other public area or public structure, public
utility, public building or public service corporation facility other than railroads, whether publicly or privately
owned, shall be constructed, established or authorized unless and until the general location or approximate
location, character and extent thereof has been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission as being
substantially in accord with the adopted comprehensive plan or part thereof.”
The location is relatively separated from the Historic District, residential areas, and the major commercial corridor
in Warrenton. From a land use perspective, the industrial area is preferable. However, it is adjacent to the popular
Town amenity of the Warrenton Branch Greenway. In addition, due to the nature of the proposal, the overall 145’
height must be considered. The Comprehensive Plan calls for the Town to “identify and preserve the Town’s
irreplaceable historic identity by protecting the integrity and complementing its cultural resources.” A 145’
structure will have an impact on the Town’s Historic District, Journey Through Hallowed Ground National
Heritage Area, and the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Scenic Byway’s view sheds.In a Town
dominated by one and two story structures, the effect such a facility may have on the rural, small town quality of
the corridor is difficult to quantify. Photo simulations from various locations have been submitted by the
applicant.
It appears from the submission that the tower would have no effect on environmental issues mentioned by the
Comprehensive Plan other than a potential impact on scenic vistas. A NEPA Report required by the FCC
indicated there are no negative effects on environmentally sensitive land or natural features, wildlife habitat and
vegetation, water or air quality.
CP 2017-01/SUP 2017-03
Page B-3
Chapter 3, Section G of the Comprehensive Plan includes the following recommendations for
telecommunications:
• Require new commercial public telecommunications antennas to be located on existing structures, such as
water towers.
• Prohibit commercial public telecommunication towers and monopoles and high tension electric towers
within the Historic District, and permit them elsewhere only if it can be shown that no alternative location
or co-location on an existing structure is possible, that there is a proven need for the service, and if service
cannot be provided in any other way.
The applicant submitted with multiple studies and reports detailing why existing structures and alternative sites do
not meet their service needs. Cityscape verified the reports and agrees with the applicant’s statements. However, it
is important to understand the Town will benefit from “capacity” as stated by the RF Engineer’s August 29, 2018
letter. The “capacity relief” in the Town is different from addressing service voids. The service voids exist mostly
in the County, not in the Town. If this use is approved, the southern portion of the Town will experience increased
service.
The applicant is in the business of building telecommunication facilities for providers. While Verizon has
provided a Letter of Intent to locate on this site, if approved, no lease has been signed with Capital Telecom
Holdings, LLC as of the time of this staff. report.
Transportation and Circulation Analysis
The primary transportation and circulation goal for the Town of Warrenton is “To encourage the development of
a safe, efficient and multi-modal transportation system for the movement of people, goods and services, in and
around the Town that is consistent with the historic fabric, land use pattern and expected future fiscal needs of the
Town.”
The applicant states the use will be accessed by a 12’ gravel drive on a 20’ easement off Industrial Road with
parking for two spots to be used by technicians for standard maintenance. This unmanned site with no employees
will not add substantially to the daily number of trips from Industrial Road.
Staff Findings: The transportation network is constructed to support the site. Staff proposes a condition that
requires the driveway apron to be paved to help avoid fugitive particulate matter in the public right-of-way.
Landscaping and Fencing
The site is located adjacent to the Warrenton Branch Greenway in an industrial park. The applicant is proposing a
8’ high chain link fence around the parameter of the compound with a 10’ wide landscaping buffer consisting of
evergreen and deciduous trees.
Staff Findings: Staff is proposing a condition that requires the 8’ high security fence to be board on board for the
length adjacent to the Greenway. In addition, the use is conditioned to not remove any of the mature trees and the
SUP Plan illustrates additional landscaping outside the fence.
Water and Sewer Analysis
The applicant states the site requires no water and sewer connections as this is an unmanned use. There are
existing fire hydrants located on Industrial Road, including one across the street from the site and one on the cul-
CP 2017-01/SUP 2017-03
Page B-4
de-sac.
Staff Findings: The proposed use is for an unmanned wireless telecommunication facility. Staff concurs with the
applicant that no water and sewer connections will be required.
Stormwater Management
The site will be planned and designed as required under Virginia’s Runoff Reduction Requirements for
Stormwater Management (SWM).
Staff Findings: Any required stormwater management will be addressed at site plan.
Emergency Services
The applicant states the access to the site will be “free and clear of obstructions” for all emergency service access.
There are exiting fire hydrants installed on Industrial Road serving the site.
Staff Findings: The Conditions of Approval require a Supra Box be installed at the gate to enable emergency
services to access the site.
Lighting
The SUP plans indicate the lighting will be LED downward facing operated by activated by a manual timing
switch.
Staff Findings: The Conditions of Approval call for the wireless structure to not be lit and that a photometric plan
will accompany the site plan providing details on all site lighting.
Zoning Analysis
The legislative intent of the Industrial District is “to implement the Town’s Comprehensive Plan by providing for a
variety of light manufacturing, fabricating, processing, wholesale distributing, and warehousing uses appropriately
located for access by highways and providing a controlled environment within which signing is limited, uses are to
be conducted generally within completely enclosed buildings, and a moderate amount of, landscaping is required. In
order to preserve the land for industry, to reduce extraneous traffic, and avoid future conflicts between industry and
other uses, business and service uses are limited primarily to those which will be useful to employees in the district
and future residential uses are restricted.”
The SUP use will be subject to site plan requirements under Article 10 Site Development Plan. Below is a review of
specific sections of the Zoning Ordinance that apply to this use and will be required to be demonstrated at site plan.
Article 2-19 – Fences and Walls

2-19.1 states that “walls or fences encompassing swimming pools or other uses, which are required by
law,” are “excluded” from the normal height restrictions of six (6) feet, or four (4) feet in “areas bounded
by the front setback and the side lot lines.”
Staff Findings: The facility shall be enclosed with a permissible eight foot fence. There is a proposed condition
requiring the portion of the fence adjacent to the Warrenton Branch Greenway be board on board.
CP 2017-01/SUP 2017-03
Page B-5
Article 3-4.12 – Industrial District

The use requires a Special Use Permit in the Industrial District meets the lot minimum requirements.
Staff Findings: Setbacks per Article 9-18.10 are not met with this application. The Letter of Justification for the
SUP notes that the applicant will seek a variance on setbacks from the Board of Zoning Appeals if the Commission
Permit and Special Use Permit are granted. Staff is not certain the variance request can be supported as there is
enough room on the parcel. The fact remains a variance would not be needed if the project were relocated in
accordance with required setbacks, and there is no discernible hardship related to the request.
Article 9-14 Performance Standards for all Non-Residential Uses
Article 9-14.4 requires that all dust, dirt, fly ash and fumes, vapors and gases meet emission requirements as
stated in this section.
Staff Findings: The proposed Conditions of Approval include a paved entrance to mitigate dust, dirt and gravel
from leaving the site.

2. Description of the Proposed Project
Capital Telecom Holdings proposes to construct a 140-foot tall monopole with a 5-foot tall
lightning rod at the top and an equipment compound on the northwest corner of the property. The
compound measuring 60 feet by 60 feet and enclosed by an eight feet high chain link fence will
be located in the northwest corner of the property. It will contain the monopole and all related
telecommunication equipment needed to support the installation. The compound area is located
40 feet from the property line to the north, 28 feet from the property line to the west, and 222 feet
from the property line to the south along Industrial Drive. The monopole structure will be 72 feet,
6 inches, from the northern property line, 72 feet, 6 inches, from the western property line and 250
feet from the southern property line.
Both the monopole and compound area are designed to support Verizon Wireless, the
initial carrier proposed to locate at the site, and up to three additional future telecommunication
carriers. The monopole and compound area will be accessed from a 12 feet wide gravel driveway
in a 20 feet wide access easement off Industrial Road and connects with a parking area containing
two spots for service standard sized vehicles used by service technicians for routine maintenance
and service visits. The 20-foot access easement will be kept clear of any obstructions to allow
access for emergency vehicles. A 10 foot wide landscape buffer will be located along the driveway
and parking area near the fenced compound to screen and buffer the small parking area associated
with the facility used by maintenance and service technicians.
The monopole will be galvanized steel setback 250 feet north of Industrial Drive. It will
have 12 Verizon Wireless antennas on a steel platform mounted at the top of the pole with the top
of the antennas 139 feet above ground level. The antennas will be a neutral color consistent with
the structure. Space is available on the monopole to accommodate the antennas of up to 3 future
telecommunication carriers at elevations of 125 feet, 115 feet and 105 feet above ground level.
Space is also available in the compound area to accommodate all telecommunications equipment
required by future carriers. Space on the tower and ground will also be made available to the
Town, free of charge, for emergency service equipment should the need arise.
The facility will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, will be unmanned with no
employees or customers visiting the site. It will not require water or sewer connections, will have
no requirements or solid waste disposal. The proposed use will not have any negative impact on
fire and police services or other community facilities provided by the Town or County. Electrical
service brought to the compound area will be monitored by a separate meter. The facility will not
generate smoke, dust or odor. Except for periodic maintenance and service visits by a technician
using a standard sized vehicle approximately 2 times per month, the facility will not generate traffic
or have any impact on local roads and highways. There will be signs on the facility and it will not
be lighted except for two security lights in the compound area set by a manual timer. As indicated
in our SUP plans, details 3 and 4 on sheet C-3, lights are pointed down, shielded, and will fall well
below the 1.0 foot candle limit at the property line.
The objective of the proposed facility primarily is to provide reliable 4G LTE coverage
and capacity relief to the Town of Warrenton including heavily traveled portions of the Eastern
2
Bypass (US 15/17/29), James Madison Highway and Falmouth Street, Shirley Avenue, Meetze
Road. Lees Ridge Road, Alwington Road and adjoining areas extending approximately 0.5 to 1
miles in all directions from the proposed facility. The proposed facility will also provide in-
building coverage to residential, educational, commercial and industrial uses in the area and
provide offloading of existing adjacent Verizon Wireless base stations.
The site plan and the compound plan and elevation prepared by NB+C and dated December
21, 2017, are included with the application package. The technical requirements of the site are
also provided.
Compatibility with Existing and Proposed Land Uses
The proposed use will be compatible with the existing and proposed land uses in this area
of the Town of Warrenton. The parcel is removed from residential areas and the general character
of the area is commercial and light industrial. All surrounding properties in the Town are non-
residential and zoned Industrial and planned for Light Industrial uses. The large property to the
immediate north is vacant and wooded on its eastern portion and partially developed with a large
unoccupied commercial/industrial building on its western portion near East Shirley Drive. The
Warrenton Branch Greenway Trail runs between this property and the subject site to the south.
The parcel to the immediate west is zoned Industrial and developed with a mini-storage facility.
The parcels further to west and abutting East Shirley Avenue is developed with an automotive
repair use. On the south side of Industrial Drive immediately across from the proposed site, the
property is zoned Industrial and vacant. Other parcels on the south side between this vacant parcel
and East Shirley Avenue are developed with building trade contractors or are vacant and wooded.
Parcels across the Bypass from the site are outside the Town and zoned by Fauquier County. To
the east/northeast they are zoned Industrial and developed with a mini-storage facility. To the
east/northeast, they are zoned Residential (RA) and vacant mostly open land.
The proposed facility will have minimal adverse visual impacts on surrounding properties,
the immediate area and travel ways. All existing residential properties and neighborhoods in the
immediate area are more than 1,000 feet from the proposed facility with the nearest residential
units to the proposed monopole approximately 1,200 feet on the north side of Old Meetze Road.
There are substantial tree cover and wooded areas that separate all residential uses and obstruct
views of the site and proposed structure. As demonstrated by the photo-simulations of the proposed
facility included with the application, the proposed structure will be compatible with the area and
will not negatively impact existing or planned residential areas. The photo-simulations show
minor views of the proposed structure from the Warrenton Branch Greenway looking west, when
looking northeast to the site from near the intersection of James Madison Highway and Alwington
Boulevard and from the northwest near the Warrenton Community Center when looking to the
southeast. Views of the structure are also minor and obstructed by trees in the area from the
northeast across the Warrenton Bypass to the southwest from near the intersection of Old Meetze
Road and maple Tree Lane. The most prominent views of the structure will be from along the
Warrenton Bypass and the vacant properties directly east and southeast of the site.
3
There will be minimal land disturbance associated with the project. The project will be
constructed on an existing cleared area of the property and will not intrude on environmentally
sensitive areas. There are no major trees on the project location and there will be no tree removal
associated with the project.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
The proposed use is consistent with the Town of Warrenton 2002 – 2025 Comprehensive
Plan and the 2009 Comprehensive Plan Supplement. The property is located within a large area
of land in the southeast portion of the Town between the Eastern Bypass and James Madison
Highway designated for Light Industrial Land Use. The use is consistent with the Industrial land
use designation and compatible with adjacent land uses. It will not generate inordinate amounts
of noise, smoke, dust odors, heat or electrical disturbances as recommended by the Plan. The use
does not have vehicular access issues or impacts on adjacent properties.
The proposed use will not be located in the Town’s historic district. The use will protect
the integrity of existing residential communities from conflicting uses and will be separated from
residential uses. The nearest properties planned for residential use are approximately 1200 feet to
the north on the north side Old Meetze Road.
The proposed use and location are consistent with the Plan’s policies for Energy and
Communication Facilities. There are no existing buildings, towers, utility structures or other
telecommunication structures in this portion of the Town or County of sufficient height that offer
an opportunity for collocation to collocate on existing structures and meet the technical
requirements of the proposed initial telecommunications carrier at the site, Verizon Wireless. An
Alternate Site Analysis report, dated 6/8/18, has been prepared and submitted to further describe
the alternate locations that were reviewed before arriving at the proposed tower location. As
supported by the technical studies, radio-frequency (RF) analysis and propagation maps submitted
with the Special Use Permit Application, there is a proven need for the service and no viable
alternative locations or other ways for providing it.
Requirements of Zoning Ordinance Section 9-18 Telecommunication Facilities
As specified by Section 9-18 of the Town of Warrenton Zoning Ordinance, the Applicant has
provided the following materials to support the application:
1. A report by Millennium Engineering dated December 20, 2017 concerning the

“Radiofrequency Design of the Proposed Communication Facility” This report provides
the objective and need of the proposed facility, an inventory of existing Verizon
Wireless sites (base stations) currently serving this area, the initial telecommunications
carrier on the facility, in the Town and five miles of the border, propagation maps of the
proposed site, coverage area within the Town and surrounding 10-mile area, and
addresses the availability of other structures to meet Verizon Wireless’ service and
technical requirements.
4
2. A report by Millennium Engineering dated August 24, 2017 concerning “RF Safety
FCC Compliance of the Proposed Communications Facility”. This report provides an
independent determination and certification that the proposed Verizon Wireless facility
at the proposed facility will comply with Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
exposure guidelines to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.
3. A report by Valmont Structures dated August 22, 2017 concerning “Design and Failure
Modes for a 140’ AGL Tapered Monopole, Quality of Steel and Fabrication of a
Monopole Structure.” This report provides the specifications of the structure and
discusses its design and structural integrity.
4. A statement, dated June 20, 2018, from Capital Telecom confirming that the
telecommunications tower will be designed to accommodate multiple carriers, that they
permit and encourage collocation by additional tenants, and will provide space on the
tower and ground for emergency service equipment as necessary.
Variance Requested by the Applicant
The proposed use does not meet the setback requirements per Section 9-18.10 of the Town
of Warrenton Zoning Ordinance. The Applicant will request a variance from the Board of Zoning
Appeals should the Special Use Permit be approved by the Town.
The location for the monopole and compound is on Industrial property abutting other
industrially zoned properties to the north, south and west and the Warrenton Bypass to the east.
The location for the monopole and compound area was established with the property owner to not
interfere with any current or future use of the industrial use property. Locating the proposed
telecommunications facility to meet the established 100 percent height setback would offer no
advantage to the adjoining industrial properties and would hinder the use of the selected site.
Additionally, the tower has been designed with a 70 foot fall zone radius which will allow the
tower to fail completely on the parent parcel should a catastrophic event occur. An explanation of
this design is described in a signed and sealed letter from Michael F. Plahovinsak, P.E., dated
10/16/17.
The proposed Facility will comply with all other local requirements and all State and
Federal requirements. The proposed use will not impact on any wetlands or other sensitive
environmental areas.
Conclusion
The applicant respectfully submits that the proposed telecommunications use is in

accordance with Zoning Ordinance requirements and fulfills the goals and policies of the Town of
Warrenton Comprehensive Plan. With approval of this Special Use Permit Application, the
Applicant will be able to fill a critical gap in its wireless coverage in this general area. The selected
site is central to the applicant’s search area and will not have significant impacts on the site or
surrounding areas.

Introduction
Trileaf Corporation (Trileaf) completed a NEPA Review for the above-referenced Capital Telecom
Holdings LLC (Capital Telecom) site. The purpose of a NEPA Review is to comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Trileaf performed extensive research by consulting with
appropriate state and federal agencies and reviewing readily available published lists, files, data, and maps
to provide our clients with a complete NEPA document. The following summarizes the scope of work
Trileaf performed in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) rules
implementing NEPA (47 CFR Section 1.1307 (a) (1) through (8) to determine whether any of the below
listed FCC special interest items would be affected by the proposed action. Referenced materials are
included as attachments, where applicable and available.
Capital Telecom proposes the construction of a 160-foot tall monopole telecommunications tower and
associated equipment within a 60-foot by 60-foot (3,600 square feet) fenced, gravel compound. The project
includes a 20-foot wide proposed access/utility easement that extends approximately 235 feet south-
southwest from the compound, connecting with Industrial Road. The proposed project site is located at
approximately 721 Industrial Road, Warrenton, VA 20186 at 38° 41’ 51.53” North latitude and 77° 47’
02.36” West longitude.
During Trileaf’s site reconnaissance, it was observed that the site is currently a gravel lot, and the areas
surrounding the site are industrial development.
1. Will the facility be located in an officially designated wilderness area?
Trileaf reviewed the USGS 7.5-minute topographic map titled “Warrenton” Quadrangle, Virginia, and
information from the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) (http://www.wilderness.net) to
determine if the site is located within an officially designated wilderness area.
There are currently 24 officially designated wilderness areas in the State of Virginia. The closest wilderness
area to the project site is the Shenandoah Wilderness Area, which is located approximately 20 miles west
of the project site.
Based on this review, the project site is not located within an officially designated wilderness area.
2. Will the facility be located in an officially designated wildlife preserve?
Trileaf reviewed the USGS 7.5-minute topographic map titled “Warrenton” Quadrangle, Virginia, and
information from the National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) System (http://www.fws.gov/refuges) to determine
if the site is located within an officially designated wildlife preserve or refuge.
Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge is located approximately 29 miles east of the Site. Based on this
review, the project site is not located within an officially designated wildlife preserve or refuge. A copy of
the NWR System map is located in Appendix B.

3. Will the facility (i) affect listed threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitat;
or (ii) likely jeopardize the continued existence of any proposed endangered or threatened species
or likely result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed critical habitats, as
determined by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973?
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 U.S.C. §§ 1536), as amended, protects endangered and
threatened species and the ecosystems upon which they depend. As interpreted and implemented by 50
CFR 402, Section 7 of the ESA directs Federal agencies, in consultation with and with the assistance of the
Secretary of the Interior, to utilize their authorities to further the purposes of the ESA. It also requires every
Federal agency to ensure that any action it authorizes, funds or carries out, is not likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of any endangered or threatened species or results in the destruction or adverse
modification of critical habitat.
On April 7, 2017, a Trileaf representative visited and photographed the project site to conduct an Informal
Biological Assessment (IBA). In addition, Trileaf reviewed the USFWS Critical Habitat Portal
(https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/report/table/critical-habitat.html) and determined that the site is not located
within designated USFWS critical habitat. Based on the results of our assessment, impacts to listed and/or
proposed, threatened and endangered species or critical habitats resulting from the proposed action are not
anticipated. Therefore, Trileaf determined that the proposed project site will have “no effect” on the species,
their habitats, or designated critical habitat. A copy of the Critical Habitat Portal is located in Appendix B
and the IBA is located in Appendix D.
FEDERAL
On April 27, 2017, Trileaf reviewed the Section 7 Consultation guidance set forth by the United States Fish
and Wildlife Services (USFWS) Virginia Field Office. According to guidance listed on the Field Office’s
website, for federal undertakings where the Northern Long-Eared Bat is listed on the IPaC Species List, the
project will not affect/is not likely to adversely affect the Northern-Long Eared Bat when no suitable habitat
is present (i.e. caves and mines during winter months and underneath bark, cavities or crevices, of both live
trees and snags) and the applicant may complete consultation with the Service by printing an online Self-
Certification Letter and submitting this letter and a copy of the project review package to the Service for
their records. Therefore, because the project does not impact suitable habitat for the Northern Long-Eared
Bat, no Eagle Act permit is required, and the site is not located within mapped critical habitat, Trileaf has
concluded that the project will not affect listed threatened or endangered species. No further coordination
with the USFWS Virginia Field Office is required. However, should project plans change or if additional
information on the distribution of proposed or listed species, proposed or designated critical habitat, or bald
eagles becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered. The conditional clearance letter
provided by the Service is valid for one year. A copy of the USFWS’ Section 7 guidance and IBA are
located in Appendix D.
STATE
On April 28, 2017, Trileaf submitted project information to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries (VDGIF) and the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). On May 23, 2017,
the DCR responded stating that the Biotics Data System documents the presence of natural heritage
resources within two miles of the project area. However, due to the scope of the activity and the distance
to the resources, the DCR does not anticipate that this project will adversely impact these natural heritage
resources. Additionally, under a Memorandum of Agreement established between the Virginia Department
of Agricultural and Consumer Services (VDACS) and the DCR, the DCR represents the VDACS in
comments regarding potential impacts on state-listed threatened and endangered plant and insect species.
The current activity will not affect any documented state-listed plants or insects. There are no State Natural
Area Preserves under the DCR’s jurisdiction in the project vicinity. The DCR requests that a project order
form and project map be resubmitted for an update on this natural heritage information if the scope of the

project changes and/or six months has passed before the conditional clearance is utilized. A copy of the
DCR response is located in Appendix D.
On May 28, 2017, 30 days passed from the time the project review package was submitted to the VDGIF.
According to previous guidance from the VDGIF, the Fish and Wildlife Information Service Section is
unable to review or provide an assessment of any projects submitted to them for review due to staffing
limitations. No response from the VDGIF does not constitute “no comment” nor does it imply support of
the project or associated activities. It simply means that the VDGIF is unable to review the pre-application
submittal. If no comments are received from the VDGIF regarding the proposed project within 30 days of
the submittal, the consultant is advised to proceed including a copy of correspondence in our species
evaluation documentation. A copy of correspondence with the VDGIF is located in Appendix D.
The USFWS Self-Certification Letter indicates that should project plans change or if additional
information on the distribution of proposed or listed species, proposed or designated critical habitat,
or bald eagles becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered. The certification letter is
valid for one year from the date listed on the letter (April 27, 2017).
The DCR indicates that as new and updated information is continually added to Biotics, the project
should be re-submitted if the scope of the project changes and/or six months passes before the
information is utilized.
4. Will the facility affect districts, sites, buildings, structures, or objects significant in American
history, architecture, archeology, engineering, or culture that are listed, or are eligible for listing, in
the National Register of Historic Places?
Trileaf referred to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 as amended (16
U.S.C. §§ 470 et seq.), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) implementing regulations
(36 CFR Part 800) and the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA) for Review of Effects on Historic
Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission dated
September 2004 to determine if the project site is contained in, on, or within the viewshed of a building,
site, district, structure, or object, significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or
culture, that is listed, or eligible for listing on the National Registers of Historic Places, or located in or on
an Indian Religious Site.
A search of the National Historic Landmarks (NHL), National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) files, and a field survey was conducted by Mr. Kenneth Basalik,
Secretary of Interior-qualified Archaeologist contracted by Trileaf through CHRS, Inc., to identify any
cultural resources within the area of direct effects and within a 0.50-mile radius for visual effects.
It was determined that the project would have no adverse effect on historic properties identified within the
Area of Potential Effects (APE) for direct effects and visual effects. The identification process did not locate
archaeological materials that would be directly affected, or sites that are of cultural or religious significance
to Tribes/NHOs. Documentation of these reviews was submitted to the SHPO via Form 620 on April 5,
2017. The SHPO concurred that the proposed undertaking would have no adverse effect on historic
properties in the direct or visual APE via E106 notification on May 3, 2017. A copy of the SHPO
concurrence letter, Form 620, and associated documents are located in Appendix E.
On April 3, 2017, Ms. Sarah Sitterle with the Town of Warrenton Planning and Community Development
Department and the Fauquier Historical Society were notified of the proposed project and invited to
comment on the proposed project’s potential effect on Historic Properties as well as indicate whether they
are interested in consulting further on the proposed project. Additionally, a legal notice regarding the

proposed telecommunications tower construction was posted in the Fauquier Times on March 1, 2017. As
of the date of this report, no comments from the local government, historical society, or legal notice have
been received by Trileaf. Copies of the correspondence and legal notice are located in Appendix E.
NATIONAL SCENIC TRAILS

On October 5, 1999, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, Personal Communications
Industry Association, Appalachian Trail Conference, American Hiking Society, and representative
Managing and Supporting Trails Organizations (MSTOs) for the National Scenic Trails signed a resolution
for the Siting of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Near National Scenic Trails. This resolution states
that if a wireless telecommunications or site management company plans a new or significantly expanded
facility within one mile of a National Scenic Trail, it will notify the non-profit group that supports the trail.
In order to determine if the site is located within one mile of a National Scenic Trail, Trileaf reviewed
information from the National Park Service (NPS) National Trails System created by the National Trails
System Act of 1968.
Based on this review, the project site is not located within one (1) mile of a National Scenic or Historic
Trail. A copy of the trails map is located in Appendix B.
5. Will the facility affect any Indian religious sites?
Trileaf referred to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 as amended (16
U.S.C. §§ 470 et seq.), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) implementing regulations
(36 CFR Part 800) and the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA) for Review of Effects on Historic
Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission dated
September 2004 to determine if the project site is located in or on an Indian Religious Site.
On February 21, 2017, Trileaf submitted project information through the Tower Construction Notification
System (TCNS) to the FCC who initiated contact with the tribes on February 24, 2016. As of May 24, 2017,
all tribes have confirmed clearance either directly or by default via the FCC referral process. Trileaf
determined that the subject Property is not located on or near a Native American Religious or Sacred Site.
However, if archaeological remains or resources are unearthed during construction activities, Trileaf
recommends that the client stop construction and notify our office immediately. Tribal consultation
documentation and associated correspondence is located in Appendix F.
6. Will the facility be located in a floodplain?
Trileaf reviewed the relevant Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) Panel #51061C0308C, dated February 6, 2008, to determine if the project was located within the
100-year floodplain.
Trileaf determined that the property is located in Zone X, areas determined to be outside the 500-year
floodplain. Therefore, the project site is not located within a 100-year floodplain. A copy of the FEMA
FIRM showing the project site location is located in Appendix B.

7. Will the construction of the facility involve significant change in surface features (e.g. wetland
fill, deforestation, or water diversion)?
Trileaf determined through site reconnaissance, review of the relevant USGS 7.5-minute topographic map
titled “Warrenton” Quadrangle, Virginia, and review of the relevant USFWS National Wetlands Inventory
Map (http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/Data/Mapper.html) that there are no federally designated wetlands on
or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project site.
Trileaf’s site assessment did not reveal any evidence of potential wetlands or hydrophytic vegetation located
on or in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Additionally, a review of the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Survey (http://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov) did not indicate hydric soils at
the project site.
Based on this review, no designated wetland areas were located within the vicinity of this project and no
significant changes in surface features resulting from the proposed undertaking are anticipated. Copies of
the soil map and wetlands map are located in Appendix B.
8. Zoning/High Intensity White Lights/Radio Frequency
As a standard practice, Capital Telecom does not construct facilities requiring high intensity white lights
that are to be located in residentially zoned neighborhoods. According to Capital Telecom, high intensity
white lights will not be used for towers less than 500 feet in height.
Conclusion
A NEPA Review of the proposed undertaking was performed by Trileaf Corporation in conformance with
the FCC rules and regulations for implementing NEPA; 47 CFR 1.1301 to 1.1319.
Based on data obtained during the Site visit, consultation with government agencies, and a review of readily
available information from other sources, the preparation and filing of an Environmental Assessment will
not be required and no further NEPA-related action is required for the proposed undertaking.

Re: Radiofrequency Design of Proposed Communications Facility

Site Name: Alwington, Proposed 140’ Monopole (VZW @ 135’ ACL)
721 Industrial Road, Warrenton, VA 20186 (Town of Warrenton, Fauquier County)
Dear Mr. Von Rein,
I have performed an analysis to provide an independent evaluation and design review of the wireless
communications facility proposed by Verizon Wireless at the above referenced property. As a registered
professional engineer, I am under the jurisdiction of the State Registration Boards in which I am licensed to hold
paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public and to issue all public statements in an objective and
truthful manner.
Verizon Wireless is currently licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide wireless
services to Fauquier County and a large number of other counties in this region. The license specifies the
frequency band and power levels at which Verizon Wireless is authorized to operate their system.
The objective of the proposed communications facility is primarily to provide reliable 4G LTE coverage and
capacity relief to the Town of Warrenton, including heavily traveled portions of US 15/17/29 (Eastern Bypass),
US 15B/17B/29B (James Madison Highway), US 15B/29B (Fairmouth Street), US 17B/29B (E. Shirley
Avenue), SR 643 (Meetze Road), SR 684 (Lees Ridge Road), Alwington Boulevard, and the adjoining areas
extending approximately 0.5-1 mile(s) in all directions from the proposed facility location. The proposed
facility will also provide in-building coverage to the residential/educational/commercial/industrial uses in the
areas it will serve and will provide wireless traffic offloading from the existing adjacent Verizon Wireless base
stations listed below (also shown on the attached maps), in particular Warrenton West (to the north) and
Leesview (to the south).
As stated the objectives for the proposed site are for both coverage and capacity relief. In short, coverage is the
ability to provide sufficient signal levels to subscribers in the area the site is designed to serve. Sufficient signal
levels are also necessary to afford reliable in-building service to users in their residences or places of business.
Capacity is the ability to serve the volume of users in the area simultaneously and off-load traffic from other
existing adjacent facilities. Having sufficient coverage and traffic handling capacity are both necessary
components for reliable wireless networks.
The proposed communications facility consists of a proposed 140’ monopole. The proposed Verizon Wireless
antenna configuration from the information furnished to me consists of (2) 700/850 MHz (LTE) dual-band
antennas (JMA X7C-FRO-860-VRO or equivalent), (1) 1900 MHz (LTE) antenna (JMA QAP-660-VRO or
Page 1 of 5
equivalent) and (1) 2100 MHz (LTE) antenna (JMA QAP-660-VRO or equivalent) on each of three faces (total
of 12 antennas) spaced with azimuths of 30/130/260 degrees on the horizontal plane with a centerline of 135’
above ground level and mechanical downtilt of 0-10 degrees on each face. Transmitting from these antennas
will be (1) 700 MHz LTE wideband channel, (1) 850 MHz LTE wideband channel, (1) 1900 MHz LTE
wideband channel and up to (2) 2100 MHz LTE wideband channels per face.
The existing base stations currently serving this area are identified as follows:
Warrenton West – watertank off N. 4th Street, Warrenton (VZW @ 119’ c/l)
Leesview – guyed tower off SR 744 (Lovers Lane), Warrenton (VZW @ 160’ c/l)
St. Leonards – monopole off US 211 (Lee Highway), Warrenton (VZW @ 110’ c/l)
The proposed facility must be well placed in order to properly shed wireless traffic from existing base stations
and provide enhanced coverage where it is needed. For this reason, the target area for a new facility is very
specific. To deviate from this target area would only serve to proliferate the need for additional facilities where
introducing well placed base stations serves to provide reliable service to meet subscriber demand using the least
number of facilities and utilizing existing structures where possible.
The attached Delorme map (Figure 1) identifies the location of the proposed facility and the existing adjacent
Verizon Wireless facilities in the area. The 0.5 and 1 mile radius black dotted circles were placed on the map
simply as a distance reference. The particular location selected for the proposed facility was chosen
mainly due to the location to best fulfill the coverage objectives and also balancing other factors such as
ability to lease, implementation, access, etc. There are two existing lattice tower locations also identified on
the map. These existing structures are both well outside the target area for this proposed facility and are also
very close to the existing Verizon Wireless Warrenton West site and therefore would not be viable collocation
candidates for Verizon Wireless to fulfill the objectives of this proposed facility.
In performing my evaluation and rendering my opinions, I have prepared a number of exhibits which are
appended to the back of this report (Figures 1-5) as required by the Town’s wireless ordinance. In addition to
the Delorme map mentioned above (Figure 1), I have prepared the propagation plots shown in Figures 2-3. For
this application, the propagation plots were run at 2100 MHz with a Verizon Wireless antenna centerline
(“ACL”) of 135’ above ground level and depict a threshold of -85 dBm RSRP (reference signal received power).
The design threshold contains a margin of safety (aka fade margin) that should be maintained in the design for a
higher level of reliability under all reasonable conditions. Figure 2 depicts the existing coverage provided by
the adjacent Verizon Wireless sites in service today (shown in blue). Figure 3 depicts the existing coverage
provided by the adjacent Verizon Wireless sites along with the proposed coverage from the Alwington site
subject to this application (shown in rose).
The coverage from the proposed site is approximately 0.5 mile to the north and south yet approximately 1 mile
to the east and west. This footprint where the proposed site is the best serving site is expected due to the relative
proximity of the existing site locations currently serving the area. The reason the propagation is further to the
east and west is that there are no other existing sites directly east or west so the proposed site has additional
reach to the east and west than to the north and south. As mentioned above, the physical directions the antennas
are oriented are 30/130/260 degrees on the horizontal plane resulting in more signal propagation to the east and
west.
Figure 4 is a map showing all existing Verizon Wireless sites within Fauquier County as well as all future
potential planned sites and search areas. Figure 5 is a propagation plot run at 2100 MHz and 135’ ACL
depicting a threshold of -95 dBm RSRP which shows the coverage footprint of all existing Verizon Wireless
sites within 10 miles of the proposed Alwington site subject to this application.
The Verizon Wireless antennas will be mounted with an antenna centerline (ACL) of 135’, which is the
minimum height that Verizon Wireless can mount their antennas at the proposed facility in order to meet the
Page 2 of 5
coverage objectives for this facility. The ACL height for the proposed facility was determined by taking into
account a number of factors, including the topography in the area, the surrounding ground clutter (buildings,
trees, etc.) and the proximity to existing Verizon Wireless facilities. This will allow the facility to provide
enhanced reliable 4G LTE coverage to the area and also the necessary capacity offloading from the adjacent
Verizon Wireless facilities currently in service.
Representatives from the Town of Warrenton had indicated that the structure is “by-right” below 125’ and
requested an explanation of the need for the additional 15’. Verizon Wireless RF engineers had performed
evaluations at different heights to determine the minimum height required to meet objectives. The additional
15’ is needed to provide the “line-of-sight” propagation to the target coverage area and to overcome terrain
challenges. The ground elevation directly south of our proposed site location peaks at least 160’ higher in
ground elevation than the ground elevation of our proposed site location. Therefore, it was determined that at an
ACL of 125’ or less, the coverage and capacity relief afforded by the proposed site to the area would be
compromised.
In summary, upon consideration of the many factors discussed herein, it is my opinion that the proposed
communications facility is particularly suited (both in location and minimum height required for Verizon
Wireless) to provide enhanced reliable coverage and capacity relief to subscribers in the Town of
Warrenton. I am not aware of any other more feasible alternatives of providing enhanced reliable
coverage and capacity relief to this part of the Town of Warrenton. The proposed communications
facility in this location is necessary for the efficient operation and provision of wireless services to the
area for which it is proposed.
Respectfully,
Paul Dugan, P.E.

Re: Wireless Communication Tower – SUP 2017-03

Response to Planning Commission Workshop Comments
Dear Denise,
This letter is in response to your August 22 Planning Commission Workshop comments.

Included with this letter are a set of photos depicting two different monopoles where the pole and
antennas were painted brown. These photos illustrate how, when done properly, a tower can be muted.
We believe this is the best concealment option for this area. As we discussed at the workshop, and in our
application package, a monopine is not an attractive concealment option. The other option discussed in
our application is a flagpole design, but the drawbacks of that option are a much taller pole and a reduced
ability for collocation. Other concealment options, such as a silo, or water tower, are not appropriate for
this location because the nature of the surrounding uses and the fact they will draw more attention.
Also included with this submission is a response to the Planning Commission’s radio frequency
related questions prepared by Millennium Engineering.
With regards to the placement of the tower on the property, we had previously approached the
landlord to place the tower in the southeast corner of the property, south east of the building, by the
Eastern Byway. Unfortunately the landlord reject that location because it interfered with their day to day
operations. Also, that location would have been closer to the property lines than our current proposed
location. The Greenway will be buffered by existing and proposed landscaping which will hide the tower
compound. The tower, based on the photos taken from the Greenway, within the Town of Warrenton,
will not likely be visible due to the heavy tree cover.
Finally, included with this submission are additional balloon float photos from just west of
proposed tower along, and to the west of, James Madison Highway. Given the scale of the balloon in the
photos, where visible, the tower should have very little, if any, impact on the gateway viewshed. Old
Town is roughly 1.3 miles from the proposed tower location. Most of Old Town is more than 100’, and
in some cases 130’, above the ground elevation of proposed 07078tower. Due to the density of the
buildings, the number of trees, the elevation change, and the distance from Old Town it is impossible to
see the proposed tower from ground level.

Verizon’s letter of intent is typical and appropriate based on the status of the tower development.
It is very common for carriers to wait until a site is zoned before signing a lease agreement with a tower
owner. Capital Telecom will not build the tower unless a carrier lease is executed.
Sincerely,
Scott Von Rein

Re: Alternate Candidates and Current/Future Technology Discussion

Site Name: Alwington, Proposed 140’ Monopole (VZW @ 135’ ACL)
721 Industrial Road, Warrenton, VA 20186 (Town of Warrenton, Fauquier County)
Dear Mr. Von Rein,
Per your request, I have reviewed three alternate candidates for potential collocation to determine if any of these
other locations would be a viable alternative to the proposed new structure subject to this application. I
previously prepared and furnished an RF Design Report which discussed the objectives of the proposed new
facility and how the proposed structure would meet the objectives for the provision of wireless services to the
area. The following three locations were requested to be considered at the recent Planning Commission Work
Session Meeting (refer to the attached two maps for these three locations):
Nearest Power Line Utility Pole to the East

This is not a viable alternative for several reasons: 1) The location is 0.54 miles to the east, which would shift
the footprint of the proposed coverage area significantly and move it away from the busy commercial district to
the west; 2) All wireless traffic would exist to the west of the site, thereby placing all wireless traffic on a single
sector, thus eliminating the balanced traffic distribution across all three sectors which is what a facility at the
current proposed location would experience. Having balanced traffic across all three sectors allows the facility
to handle far more traffic and handle it more efficiently; 3) The utility pole is estimated to be around 100’ or
less, which is far shorter than our proposed monopole; 4) The power companies in this region have stopped
allowing collocation on their transmission structures.
Proposed State Police Tower to the South

This is not a viable alternative for several reasons: 1) The location is 1.41 miles away from our target area; 2)
This location is far too close to the existing Leesview structure on which Verizon Wireless is already
collocated/in-service. Placing a site too close to an existing site would cause significant service problems and
redundancies.
Capital Telecom spoke to Wendy Wheatcraft, Planner at Fauquier County, and confirmed there is only one
tower in the County that is approved but not built.
Approved/Unbuilt Structure at 3590 Rivenoak Lane, Goldvein, VA (195’)

This location is approximately 19 miles from our target area and a facility at this location would obviously not
be able to reach our target area.
Page 1 of 2
The Planning Commission had asked the following three technical questions at the Work Session Meeting:
1) Better understanding of usage. For example, the percentage capacity Verizon is at now on the existing
towers, how much would the new tower lower that capacity, when is Verizon forecasting there will be a
problem, and would this new tower solve the capacity issues until what anticipated date?
The level of usage varies every hour of every day. Verizon Wireless engineers constantly review traffic
capacity data to see the projection of when a site will reach a state of exhaustion and plan for new
facilities to provide the necessary traffic offloading to relieve a site from reaching or maintaining a
state of exhaustion. The proposed site provides both better coverage and will provide capacity relief to
a high traffic area with busy roads and a busy commercial district. The two adjacent sites to the north
and south each currently have a coverage footprint of roughly a mile in radius from their respective
locations. The proposed site sits between these two adjacent sites and will introduce a dominant serving
signal to the target area which will offload wireless traffic from those existing sites. This will effectively
reduce the coverage footprint of those adjacent sites by about a half mile each which will allow those
sites to better handle the wireless traffic closer to their locations and will improve data speeds and
reliability for subscribers in these areas.
2) How does this new tower work with 5G and will it be obsolete?
5G is the new emerging technology that will complement the current 4G LTE technology and provide
new benefits and functionality never realized with previous technologies, such as smart cities,
autonomous vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT), and improved machine-to-machine (M2M) capabilities.
While many 5G antennas will be placed on smaller structures such as light poles, buildings, etc. to
provide greatly improved localized data speeds, traditional cell towers will not be going away any time
soon as these types of facilities are required in order for carriers to provide ubiquitous wireless
coverage in all areas. Carriers are now laying the framework for the deployment of 5G.
3) Benefit to the Town when there is the existing water tower with coverage?
The existing watertank installation does provide coverage primarily to the central heart of the Town of
Warrenton. The proposed facility will provide improved coverage and capacity to the southern portion
of the Town of Warrenton. Users in the area being served will experience higher data throughput
speeds and improved in-building coverage.
I trust that the information presented is helpful. Please contact me if I can provide any further assistance.
Respectfully,
Paul Dugan, P.E.
