Several changes were suggested and those suggestions <br /> were addressed in this version of the proposed amendment. <br /> • Maximum height <br /> It was suggested that a maximum height be set at 200 feet. This height could <br /> only be reached by providing additional locations on the tower for co-location <br /> opportunities. The maximum height for a tower with accommodations for 2 <br /> additional users is 150 feet. For every additional user over 2, the tower's <br /> height can be increased by 25 feet. Therefore, for a tower to be able to be <br /> constructed to a height of 200 feet it would have to be able to accommodate 4 <br /> additional users. <br /> • Lot size <br /> • <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
