Home Browse Search

Mr. Lysiak's report concluded that if Clear Wireless installed antennas on either the Fernwood Street water tower or the Red Fox Road water tower instead of at 2 Pine Tree Drive, a significant gap in coverage would remain. This gap is indicated on Figures 3A. and 3B. It also indicates that the gap in coverage is significantly reduced with antennas located at the proposed location at 2 Pine Tree Drive. Future applications to the City for additional antennas will be reviewed at the time of submittal in the same manner. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission offers the following fourteen Endings of fact for review: General Findings: 1. The applicant has submitted documentation that addressed the use of the City's water tower sites. This documentation indicates that the water tower sites would not meet the location needs to provide coverage in this area of the City. 2. The proposed antennas would be located on an existing structure. 3. The proposed antennas would be located within the B-2 — General Business District Zone. 4. The proposed antennas would be at a height of 73 feet. 5. The antennas would be located approximately 380 feet from the nearest property line. 6. The antennas would be painted to match the color of the structure to which they are attached. 7. Towers and antennas are a conditionally accessory use in the B-2 Zoning District. On the Conditional Use Permit Evaluation Criteria: 8. The proposed plan would not have any impact on traffic or parking conditions. 9. The proposed plan will not produce any permanent noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics. 10. The proposed plan will not impact drainage. 11. The proposed plan will not impact population density. 12.
