Staff feels the applicant needs fo provide further information <br />fo support the need for an antenna in this location, how it fits in with their long <br />range coverage plan, and also, why they could not collocate on the AT &T <br />tower fo the south. Scoff reviewed the performance standards for the Antenna <br />Tower Overlay district.
