Fire departmentwould benefit from having in code a plan approval requirement for cell towers that included MOA agreements with all landowners that access road may cross for easy access through locked gates in emergency situations,video monitoring option at tower in the event of fire or other emergency situations, and vegetation plan for fire prevention. He approves of fire safety plans already as part of the current use permit process for cell towers, so adding new provisions wouldn't be hard to do for the Fire Department. DPW • Supervising electrical inspector at DPW offered comments. Bill 194 language goes above and beyond what is used to currently approve cell towers in Chapter 5,Article 3, Section 5-3- 1(b)(6):Television or radio communication towers, and that"to erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, relocate, convert, or demolish any television or radio communication tower that is not regulated by the public utilities commission. Our 2020 National Electrical code does not regulate communication construction in Article 90.20(B) (4): Installation of communications equipment under the exclusive control of communications utilities located outdoors or in a building spaces used exclusively for such installations. With that being said, if a permit is required, then Section 25-2-74 would be appropriate permitting guidelines. 3
