moves forward with an application for the antenna at 1296 County Road F, the City will have OWL Engineering prepare a review to determine if the same coverage can be provided at the Fernwood Street or Red Fox Road water towers. Application The proposed antennas would be located in the center of the building, on top of the penthouse roof structure, at a height of 73 feet. The related equipment would be located on the main roof structure, to the southeast of the penthouse structure. The existing building, measured from the penthouse, is 60 feet in height and the proposed equipment would extend 13 feet above this elevation. Please refer to the Planning Case Report from November 30, 2009, for detailed elevations and plans of the proposed antennas. Clear Wireless LLC would lease the required space from Country Insurance. The applicant has submitted an application, engineer letter, coverage map, and search ring map explaining their proposal and addressing the location choice for the antennas (Attachment B). Country Insurance operates under an existing CUP; however, the permit does not address the use of antennas on the site. The Zoning Code requires a CUP for all antennas to be located in the City. The proposed antennas would be accessory to the principal commercial use on the property. OWL EnOneerint!
