RLUAC's Telecom Tower Study Aids Location Decisions The RLUAC produced "Telecom Tower Study" was unanimously adopted at a quarterly RLUAC meeting on November 20, 2008. Since that time, the study - along with its digital maps - has been very useful as planners and developers seek to locate and construct towers that serve the public, while not interfering with the safety of military aircraft. The "Telecommunications Tower Study" identifies the location of all existing telecom towers within the eleven county Fort Bragg region, reflects the low-level military aircraft overflight routes, and maps areas near the military bases that should restrict both the height and location of additional towers. The entire study is available on the "Projects" page of this website.
RLUAC Awarded New Contract to Conduct Reviews of Proposed Subdivisions, Telecom Towers and Zoning Changes
RLUAC's first two-year agreement with Parsons, Inc was such a success that it has been awarded a new three year contract to continue the ongoing efforts. The purpose of the initial contract was to conduct reviews of proposed subdivisions, telecom towers, and zoning changes within the five mile area surrounding Fort Bragg, Pope AFB, and Camp Mackall RLUAC's assistance was desinged to lighten the work load of the Fort Bragg planners as they continue to prepare for the ongoing BRAC related growth at the post. RLUAC's non-binding recommendations assist local planners and developers as they seek to plan in a manner that protects the military training mission, the integrety of the Longleaf Pine Ecosystem, and the safety of people living near the fort. Since executing the initial contract in November 2007, RLUAC has conducted over 200 reviews of rezoning cases, subdivision proposals, and proposed telecom towers.
