THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Staff report by Scott Harlicker. AT&T Wireless Services is requesting a zone <br />change to rezone property to Antenna Overlay District and a conditional use <br />permit for a 199' tall wireless communication antenna pole and a 12' x 24' <br />equipment building. Reason for the request is to provide improved service and <br />frequency coverage. The subject property is located east of Highway 10, south <br />of 175th Avenue alignment and west of the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. <br />The applicant proposes to lease an area approximately 60' by 57' for location <br />of the pole and building. The site will be serviced by a 12' wide gravel drive off <br />Highway 10, located within a 20' access easement over the adjacent properties <br />to the west. Scott reviewed the performance standards for the Antenna Tower <br />Overlay District. He noted that the overlay will not affect the underlying C3 <br />(Highway Commercial) zoning. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the rezoning and conditional use permit based <br />on the findings and conditions stated in the report to the Planning Commission <br />dated 9/24/96. <br /> <br />Ron Milke, real estate manager for AT&T Wireless Services, provided charts <br />indicating existing coverage and proposed coverage with the new antenna <br />pole. Mr. Milke noted the pole would be painted an "ice blue" color and the <br />equipment storage building would be designed to blend in with the <br />surroundings. The building will house computer equipment and will be <br />temperature-controlled. Mr. Milke explained the pole will be designed to <br />accommodate additional antennas for use by other cellular companies. If <br />another user wished to construct an equipment shelter, they would need to <br />apply for a conditional use permit. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Chair Minton questioned if the pole were to ever fall down, would the site be <br />large enough so that it would not fall on neighboring property. Mr. Milke stated <br />that the pole would be located 60-70 feet from the north property line and 45-50 <br />
