The
appraiser must indicate whether the dwelling or related property
improvements is located within the easement serving a high-voltage
transmission line, radio/TV transmission tower, cell phone tower,
microwave relay dish or tower, or satellite dish (radio, TV cable,
etc).
1) If the dwelling or related property improvement
is located within such an easement, the DE Underwriter must obtain
a letter from the owner or operator of the tower indicating that
the dwelling and its related property improvements are not located
within the tower?s (engineered) fall distance in order to waive
this requirement.
2) If the dwelling and related property improvements are located
outside the easement, the property is considered eligible and
no further action is necessary. The appraiser, however, is instructed
to note and comment on the effect on marketability resulting from
the proximity to such site hazards and nuisances.
