Bergly explained the applicant had chosen an alternate loc"tion for the antenna which is a ground mounted location on the south side of trJ.: building and at the top of a steep slope. The Planner indicated a preferable lou, ion, at the south side of the building placed at the bottom of this slope. He eXplained this preferable location was discussed with the applicant and it did not appe2r there were any objections to the antenna placement at the bottom of the slope. The Planner advised he had reviewed the site from the east side of Round lake, as discussed by Member Winiecki. It is his observation the antenna should not be visible from the residential properties on the east side of the lake. Bergly noted there is no parking to the rear of this site, as previously indicated by Member Winiecki, and that the building is setback further from the lake than other buildings in the area. He referred to his report of 12-6-89, ceccmmending approval of the SUP be contingent upon screening of the antenna, whe.theo:: it is roof or ground mounted. There was discussion relative to the size of the dish and the proposed locations. The Planner stated he was unsure why the applicant is proposing the 6-ft. dish rather than a smaller size. He noted the ground mounted location sho~Jn at the . bottom of the steep slope would limit the amount of screening of the antenna. Bergly explained the applicant preferred the roof-mounted location al explained the roof mounted dish was less susceptible to vandalism and required _ess maintenance. Chairman Probst noted the applicant was not present. He asked if there was anyone present who wished to be heard regarding this matter. There was no :response.
