Permittee for a new FM radio station in conjunction with an application for a Special Use Permit for an additional radio tower. Please consider this letter an application to request a variance to vary the maximum height of twenty-eight feet (28') permitted in the RS-30 zone district of Pitkin County to accommodate a one hundred foot (100') radio tower. The existing development on this Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") parcel includes a radio transmission station facility, consisting of several transmitter buildings and antenna towers. AT&T, the tower site property manager, has told us that the existing antennas are bearing all the load they can handle; therefore, a new tower must be built to accommodate the new FM radio station. The functioning and engineering requirements of a radio antenna requires the height and dimensions as shown on the attached elevation drawing. As disclosed in the letter of Susan N. Crawford (a respected telecommunications engineer), it is an undue hardship and practical impossibility to construct a functioning tower of any lesser height, and still maintain its purpose. We are, therefore, seeking the minimum variance necessary. The BLM communication site installation data form, as completed by Denny & Associates, P.C., consulting engineers, is also enclosed. The tower is five feet (5') wide at the base tapering at the top to one and one-half feet (1.5') in width. -.nw orr•-c-s or• KAUFMAN & PETERSON, P.C. A variance of seventy-two (72) feet in height is, therefore, requested for a radio tower if such is permitted by Mr. Bill Lukes, Chairperson Pitkin County Board of Adjustment July 31, 1996 Page 2 the Special Use Permit Application submitted contemporaneously. A list of the adjacent property owners and addressed and stamped envelopes is enclosed. Please place this application on the next available agenda, and advise me of the schedule so that the applicable notice may be posted.

The purpose of this letter is to provide information regarding the need for a tower of the proposed height. FM broadcast stations operate in the Very High Frequency (VIiF) portion of the elQCtromagnetic spectrum whore signal propagation is etrict~y line of eight between transmitter and receiver. Intervening terrain obstacles, vegetation, and foliage attenuate the signal and either reduce or completely block receipt of the transmitted signal. Thus, W aclueve satisfactory reception, the FM transttuttuTg antenna must be located well above local vegetation and foliage, and, insofar as possible, above terrain featuree in the signal path. The FCC authorized ISPVW, four-bay, nonduectional, circularly polarized FM transmittin¢ antenna is approximately 9 maters (30 fast) in length, and, when aide mounted on a supporting structure, must be approximately 2 meters (6 feet) down from the top-of the structure. Thus, the bottom bay of the KPVW transmitting antenna must be located 11 maters (36 feet) below the top of the supporting structure. On tho proposed IiPVW 30-meter (100-foot) supporting structure, the bottom bay of the KPVW transmitting antenna will be approximately 19 meters (60 feet) AGL. The local vegetation and foliage in the area of the authorized 1SYVW site are reported to be between 18 meters (60 feet) and 24 meters (80 feet) in height, so the proposed KPVW structure height is the minimum required for line•of--sight service to the authorized KPVW coverage area. I hope thnt the information p1'ovided herein ndequately explains the absolute need for the proposed 30-meter (100-foot) overall .height AGL tower for KPVW. However, if there are further questions, please call me. w: Mr. Philip C. Wilkinson Barry A. Friedman, Esquire llENNY 8 HSSUl;1H I tb. N.U. <ki~ µ.+< :~~<u ~ . u..• u~ '"'' Denny & AsaorY+es, P.t.

The residence is currently 8 t 9 squaze feet over the allowed floor azea. Schaffner stated that with the lot split in 1984 the residence is now a confomting size. Note: Parcel is small therefore the floor azea ratio is reduced. The house has used up all allowable square footage for any exempt garage. Request for the garage is above and beyond the allowable FAR. The applicant reduced the proposed garage to a carport to minimize impacts. Warren Palmer spoke on behalf of the applicant. The house was built in 1957 before the lot split. A remodel occured after the lot split that did reduce the original floor area. Palmer stated that when the definition of floor area was changed in the Land Use Code in 1994 it reduced the allowable exemption for carport, or garage, if the residence exceeded the allowed floor azea. Letters were read for the record from neighbors Jack Crandel, Arther Greenburg and Jim Martin in support of the variance. No members of the public were present. Throm moved to approve as submitted due to topographic hazdship and the allowance by the Boazd of County Commissioners for the construcfion/remodeling of a house. Rudnick seconded.

Schaffner stated that this is an existing legal duplex currently used as a fourplex. She noted the retaining wall adjacent to the roadway and the tenant's cars having to be pazked next to the road. Johns wish is to convert the building back to a duplex with demolition of the existing structure and construction of a new building. Approvals were received from the Homeowners Association and Architectural Review Committee. Richard Haberman from the Architectural Committee was present. Luker read for the record a letter from Haberman asking for a 22' variance and a 28' variance staircase and requesting no more cazs be pazked by the roadway. Also a letter from Al Fiorello, an adjacent property owner, shows, for the most part, support. He would like to see a wider space between the garages and natural sloping landscape. No other members of the public were present. • Rudnick moved to approve as submitted, due to topographic hazdship, a variance of 28' for the stairway and railings adjacent to each garage and a variance of 22' from the face of the garage.
