'Minutes of Special Council Meeting March 23, 1981 The applicant, in answer to concerns that trees will be removed, said they do not intend to remove trees, we don't have to; will leave the site as natural as we can. It was noted that the house at the base of the tower, and the guy wires, will be fenced; area beneath the tower will be open for use if deaired. . Woodburn said he queries the appropriateness of a park in this area because of the relatively few people it would serve and its close proximity to the rendering plant. Buckley said the devel- ment of the acreage to the east would be the determining factor of whether a park would be warranted; it was anticipated origi- nally that this park would serve 800 people; therefore would need 8 acres; at present zoning would serve about 400-500 people; therefore would need a 4 or 5 acre park. Comments from the Floor Jeanne Winiecki reported that a medium density project was pro- posed in this area with a park; noted that the tower proposal preserves the wetland which is desirable. Jim Winiecki suggested that the city consider the NSP acreage, on the east side of Old Highway 10, as an alternate park area.

Don Krie~er, Valentine Crest, said it is not approved by Parks Committee; feels it's about time we say "no" to Motorola. Rav Keil. realtor for Winiecki property noted that he can't imagine a park in this location with a freeway to the south, rendering plant to the west; owner can't continue paying taxes and assessments to keep the area open; noted that the proposed tower site is approximately 1000 feet from Valentine Crest area; if ice should form, it would not reach Valentine Crest. Noted e. that the tower will not generat~ traffic or noise. Mr. Holste, County Road F, said he worked in TV for several years and knows of incidents where blocks of ice fell through a roof; a 700' tower could cause ice to fall 1400' away; said the freeway would certainly be in the range - feels a bond to protect the property owners and those on the freeway, should be required. .
