<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Memo to Planning Commission/CD 99-3, ZC 99-1 <br />February 23, 1999 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The site is located on 171st Avenue and the south side of the BNSF railroad <br />tracks. Adjacent land uses include agricultural and LeFebvre Trucking. <br /> <br />RezoninI! <br /> <br />In order to construct the proposed tower, a rezoning to AT is required. This <br />overlay district was established to manage the proliferation of antenna <br />towers and to ensure their proper placement regarding health, safety, and <br />welfare of the community. This overlay district does not change the <br />underlying PUD zoning district; all the uses allowed and the dimensional <br />regulations in the PUD district will continue to be allowed on land zoned AT. <br /> <br />In considering a rezoning request of this nature, consideration should be <br />given to the existing conditions within the area directly and indirectly <br />affected by the proposed rezoning as well as the compatibility with <br />surrounding land uses. <br /> <br />The rezoning request should not adversely impact, and would be compatible <br />with, the zoning and current use of the property which is under <br />consideration for rezoning and adjacent properties. The applicant has <br />indicated they need this tower in order to meet their communication and <br />dispatch needs. The applicant stated they investigated co-locating on the <br />towers owned by AT&T and APT and found that they could not meet their <br />coverage needs. <br /> <br />Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />Co-location ReQuirements <br /> <br />The applicant has verbally indicated they contacted the owners of the two <br />nearest towers, APT and AT&T and found they could not meet their <br />communication needs by co-locating on either of those towers. <br /> <br />Construction ReQuirements and Desig-n Standards <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing to construct a lattice type tower with guy wires. It <br />will be located on the roof of their building and will be approximately 1 foot <br />wide. A lattice type tower is allowed because this is a private tower; a <br />monopole design is required for commercial wireless telecommunication <br />towers. <br /> <br />'\ '\elkriver '\sys '\shrdoc '\planning'\scott '\cu99-3cc.doc <br />
