99SN0191
In Midlothian Magisterial District, DAVID GREGORY AND JOHN
BRENKUS requested Conditional Use Planned Development and
amendment of zoning district map to permit a communications
tower with height and setback exceptions in a Residential (R-
15) District. A 100 foot communications tower is planned. The
density of such amendment will be controlled by zoning
conditions or Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan
suggests the property is appropriate for residential use of
1.51 to 4.0 units per acre. This request lies on 3.8 acres
known as 10525 West Huguenot Road. Tax ID 746-718-3583, 4367,
4486, 5470, 5588, 6571, 6590, 7591 and 7672 (Sheet 3).
Ms. Beverly Rogers presented a summary of Case 99SN0191 and
stated that the Planning Commission and staff recommend
approval subject to conditions; however, had recommended denial
of the setback exceptions. She further stated that staff
recommends that Condition 1 be amended to require architectural
treatment specifically outlined in the Addendum; that the
amendment was consistent with the Commission's intent; and
that, since the Condition was not submitted prior to
advertisement of the Case, it would be necessary for the Board
to suspend its rules to consider the Condition. She noted that
the request conforms to the siting criteria for towers.
There was brief discussion relative to the Planning
Commission's policy regarding location of towers in residential
areas and the visibility of the antennas.
99-200
2/2 /99
John Cogbill, Esquire, representing the applicant, stated that
a tower site in the Huguenot Road area is necessary to provide
enhanced cellular communications. He presented photographs
depicting the integration of the equipment inside the steeple
of Huguenot Road Baptist Church. He stated that he feels the
request meets all the requirements of the County's tower siting
policy; is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; and meets
the requirements of a Conditional Use. He further stated that
he feels the proposed request will neither have a negative
impact on property values nor represent a commercial intrusion
within a residential area. He stated that the Church building
has been used by many community associations for various uses
and that the proposed request represents an ~'eleemosynary" use
of the facility. He requested the Board's approval of the
proposed request.
Ms. Becky Chenault, a resident of Woodmont, expressed concerns
relative to a business locating in a residential area and
stated that she is opposed to the request.
Mr. Dave Dickens, a resident of the Woodmont neighborhood and
a member of Huguenot Road Baptist Church, stated that he knows
of six businesses currently operating in Woodmont and noted
that there is already a radio tower in Woodmont belonging to a
hobbyist. He stated that he supports the request.
Mr. Ian Lorimer, a resident of Woodmont and Secretary of the
Woodmont Civic Association, submitted, for the record, a
petition signed by 246 residents of Woodmont opposing any
zoning changes to the Huguenot Road Baptist Church property.
He expressed concerns relative to commercialism of the Woodmont
residential area and stated that he is opposed to the request.
Mr. Erdmen Auman expressed concerns relative to a precedent
being set if the request is approved. He stated that the
limitations on the use of church property are written into the
Church's deed and that he views the proposed request as a
commercial encroachment. He further stated that he is opposed
to the request.
Mr. Bob Carver, a resident of Woodmont, expressed concerns
relative to commercial activity and stated that he is opposed
to the request.
Ms. Barbara Seward, a resident of Woodmont, stated that she is
opposed to the request.
Mr. Bruce Hague, Properties Chairman for Huguenot Road Baptist
Church, stated that several meetings were held between the
Church, the applicant and Woodmont residents to develop an
acceptable tower concept. He further 'stated that he does not
feel the proposed request would adversely impact the
neighborhood and that it would best serve the area overall. He
requested that the Board consider the efforts put into the
proposed request before making their decision.
99-201
2/24/99
Mr. Jay Moorehouse, a Woodmont resident, stated that he did not
get the impression at the Planning Commission meeting that any
changes would be made to the steeple. He further stated that
he feels the proposed tower should be considered a commercial
business and requested that the Board respect the feelings of
the Woodmont residents with regard to commercial business.
There being no one else to address this issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Cogbill expressed disappointment in the opposition present.
He referenced Ms. Chenault's comments and stated that the
proposed zoning request is for a single use only. He
referenced Mr. Auman's comments and stated that additional
antennas are necessary to operate the cellular telephone
digital system. He further stated that the Federal
Communications Act authorizes jurisdictions to provide for
additional services such as a digital system. He stated that
the applicant has examined several other locations, including
one in the City of Richmond, for the proposed tower. He
requested that the Board. approve the proposed request.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that he does not feel approval
of the request would set a precedent for commercial development
and that the current zoning will remain residential according
to the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. McHale stated that he feels the proposed request is an
opportunity for the church to use its property in a way that
is not inconsistent with the neighborhood and to receive
revenue to offset operation expenses. He stated that he
intends to support a motion for approval of the proposed
request.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she reviews all tower cases as if
they were in her own district. She further stated that towers
have become growth management tools. She expressed concerns
relative to Woodmont residents' thoughts regarding commercial
encroachment. She stated that she feels the public's concerns
have been addressed and that she will support a motion for
approval.
Mr. Warren stated that he feels the level of debate will
increase as the number of tower cases increase. He further
stated that he feels the County would be held accountable for
denying the request and then the City allowing for the tower
without restrictions.
There was brief discussion relative to approval of the proposed
request not setting a precedent for commercial use.
Mr. Warren stated that he feels the citizens' concerns have
been met and that he will support a motion for approval.
Mr. Barber stated that the idea of the tower being placed in
the steeple came directly from the community and that he was
shocked to hear that the community still had concerns with the
2/24/99
99-202
tower. He stated that Mr. Auman had declined a meeting to
discuss concerns. He further stated that he feels the verbiage
of the petition submitted by Mr. Lorimer is incorrect and
misleading and that the Woodmont citizens have an incorrect
perception that approval of the request would allow for
commercial development. He stated that approval of the request
would not allow commercial intrusion nor open the door for
future commercial development. He further stated that he
cannot see an adverse impact of the antenna being placed in the
steeple. He stated that the Count.y policy is to hide antennas
whenever possible. He further stated that the three things he
weighs when reviewing tower cases are the possibility for
future commercial development; the visibility of the tower; and
other uses allowed on the property.
Mr. Barber then made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the
Board to suspend the rules to accept the proffered condition.
Ayes: Warren, Barber, Humphrey, and McHale.
Nays: None.
Absent: Daniel.
On motion of Mr. Barber, seconded by Mr. McHale, the Board

within the existing church building. (P)
(Note: This condition would require that the
communications antennas be architecturally incorporated
into the design of a building for a permitted use. In
additional, this condition would require that all
equipment associated with the communications antenna be
housed within the existing church building, thus, making
that equipment virtually invisible to adjacent
properties and public rights of way.)
o
There shall be no signs permitted to identify this use.
(P)
Prior to site plan or building permit approval,
whichever occurs first, the owner/developer shall submit
