Staff Recommendation Staff anticipates that the proposed antennas will be visible from some locations, both on and off the property. The fairly wooded nature of the site, coupled with the rolling topography, would limit visibility from residential properties to the east and south however. The proposed tower is not expected to present any conflicts with land uses in the vicinity. Cellular towers are a conditional accessory use within the B-2 Zoning District that Country Insurance is located. Based on the findings, Staff recommends approval of Planning Case #09-020 for a Conditional Use Permit at 2 Pine Tree Drive subject to the following five conditions: 1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and 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. A Conditional Use Permit drafted by the City Attorney shall be signed by the applicant and the property owner prior to the issuance of any building permits. 5. The antennas and equipment shall be painted to match the structure to which they are attached. Options & Proposed Motion Lan�ua�e 1.
