Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council. 2. A building permit shall be obtained for all proposed antennas prior to installation. 3. A building permit shall be obtained for all proposed structures prior to installation. 4.

Mr. Roberts stated that, if approved by the Planning Commission, this would go before the City Council at their meeting on June 29, 2009. Mr. Roberts introduced Mr. Ken Nielson, Agent for AT&T Mobility, who appeared to answer any possible questions raised by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Holewa inquired whether this tower would be used by anyone other than those on Bethel's campus. Mr. Nielson replied that the main purpose is for the use of AT&T for the campus, but it will also be used for some surrounding areas in all directions - mostly those to the south. Commissioner Zimmerman inquired whether this would be cellular only outside the campus and the campus would require antennas.
