Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the development plan for a 195 foot monopole telecommunications tower in an A (Agricultural) zoning district subject to 5 conditions:
1. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance.
2. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
3. Since the FAA does not require any lighting for this facility, there shall be no lighting on the tower.
4. Installing an evergreen landscaping screen, as required by the Zoning Ordinance, along the northwest side of the fenced enclosure (side that parallels the adjoining property which is Tax Parcel 032-11212 and Old Rutledge Pike) within six months of the tower becoming operational.
5. At the time of the request for a building permit, posting a bond or other approved financial surety that would ensure the removal of the tower if it is abandoned.
With the above conditions, this request meets all requirements for approval of a use on review in the A zone.
