MINUTES City Council Dec. 14, 1988 ~ellular One (Cont.) and the City's water tower is 185 feet in height. Carr•oway stated that if Cellular• One is allowed to place its antenna on top of the water tower, that would be an even better situation than the mounting Cellular One is proposing. Carroway suggested that the City Engineer work with Cellular One to develop a mounting system for this. Car~r~oway reported that the microwave dish would remain below the bulb of the tank. Fahey suggested that a$600 per~ month r•ent was fair if Cellular One is pr~oposing to use the top of the City's water• tower. Fahey also suggested that any contract contain an escalating provision. Carr•oway stated that Cellular One would prefer the escalating pr•ovision to be a five-year term pr•ovision. Fahey felt that the proposal for• mounting the system on water tower•s was a creative way of lessening the impact on communities. Car•roway asked if for~ the $600 fee if Cellular One could have approval for~ up to 9 antenna and 2 micr•owave dishes. Council discussed this request and it was the concensus that the 6 antenna proposed was the maximum for the $600 fee, however, the Council was a.greeable to two microwave dishes. Council ind.icated that in the futur•e if additional antenna were needed, Cellular One could negotiate that with the City. The City Clerk r•epor•ted that the City Planner has indicated that a Public Hearing is necessary since a conditional use per~mit would need to be gr•anted to Cellular• One for their proposal. Carroway requested that Cellular• One be able to work with the City Attor•ney to get the necessary lease agreements drawn up prior to the Public Hear~ing. The Council was agr~eeable provided that Cellular One understands that they would proceed at their• own r•isk with the understanding that Cellular One would bear the cost of any attor•ney fees should the conditional use per•mit be denied. Mr. Fahey introduced the following r•esolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. II8-12-530 - CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JANUARY 25, 1989 ON THE REOUEST OF CELLULAR ONE FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO INSTALL SIX-SECTOR ANTENNA AND TWO MICRObIAVE ~ISHES ON THE CITY'S WATER TOWER WITH TNE ANTENNA TO BE INSTALLED AT THE TOP OF THE b1ATER TOI~lER, THE EQUIPMENT TO BE PAINTED TO MATCH THE TO~rIER AND CELLUTAR ONE TO REIMBURSE THE CITY AT A COST OF $600 PER MONTH FOR USE OF CITY PROPERTY The for•egoing resolution was duly seconded by Mr. LaValle.
