. June Minutes Page 5 06/01/94 CASE 194-13: CELLULAR ONE - $PECIAL USE PERMIT. 4251 FERNWOOD AVENUE. Chair Winiecki opened the public hearing for Cellular One at 7:38 p.m. Recording Secretary, Tammy Olson, confirmed the publication of the Notice of Hearing in the Focus on Tuesday, May 17, 1994, and mailing to affected property owners on the same date. Chair Winiecki proceeded to explain the hearing procedures to the attending residents. Mr. Fritsinger stated there was a lease agreement between Cellular One and the City to place their antennas on the Water Tower at Fernwood Avenue. At the time of the recent five (5) year renewal of this lease, staff suggested the agreement be formalized through a SUP agreement. Screening and height are the two main issues. In 1991, the City Attorney decided the height limitations don't apply to this type of tower. The antenna itself does meet the ordinance requirements, although, there is no way to screen the antennas given their location and height. Staff recommended . the Planning Commission approve the SUP. Tedd Olson, of Cellular One, stated in 1989 there was some discussion between the City and Cellular One. At that time, there was no need for a SUP. Since then, the City has updated their Zoning Ordinance and Cellular One wants to be in compliance. Hearing no further comments, Chair Winiecki closed the public hearing at 7:44 p.m. Piotrowski moved, seconded by McGraw to approve the SUP with the following conditions outlined in staff's report: 1. No additional screening as required by ~he zoning ordinance shall be necessary. 2 . The antennas and all mounts shall be painted to match the color of the.tower. 3. No welding shall be done on the water tower tank or shell. . 4. The antennas shall not exceed 12' in height.
