Since its construction, the facility <br />has provided cellular coverage to the immediate area. SAMC Section 41- 198.13 states that major <br />wireless communication facilities shall be approved for a period not to exceed five years, although <br />subsequent State legislative acts have required that such facilities be approved for a period not to <br />exceed 10 years. As the current facility is reaching its 10 years, the applicant is required to apply for a <br />new CUP in order to maintain the current facility. <br />31A-4 <br />
