(3) No minimum lot size shall be required for the placement of <br />telecommunication towers within the V, CN, CG, CV, MCX, ML, MG and <br />CDH zoning districts. <br />The minimum lot size may be reduced, upon finding that the issuance of a <br />variance by the director will not result in adverse impacts, including but not limited <br />to noise light glare visual drainaize or other detrimental effects to adjacent <br />properties. <br />(d) Except when located within the V CN CG CV MCX ML, MG, or CDH districts, <br />a telecommunication tower shall be set back from every propeAy line by a distance <br />not less than one hundred and twenty -percent of the tower height as measured from <br />the ground level and not less than six hundred feet from any residence or school. <br />(e) Fencing and Safety Measures. Telecommunication towers must be enclosed by <br />fencing a minimum of six feet in height and towers must be equipped with an anti - <br />climbing device. <br />[(e)] ff The tower, together with the initial antennas or other equipment proposed to <br />be installed thereon, shall [have _ hard survivability f^ sustained ; rods of at least <br />one hundred miles per- hur-.]_ <br />(1) Comply with the building code; and <br />(2) Where feasible, be equipped with: <br />(A) A redundant power supply capable of providing sufficient power for no <br />less than twenty-four hours; and <br />(B) Secondary data transmission capabilities that can support mass <br />notification messaging during a disaster. <br />(g) The telecommunication antennas and tower shall comply with all applicable rules, <br />regulations and requirements of affected agencies including the Federal Aviation <br />Administration and Federal Communications Commission.
