MINUT~S CITY COUNCIL MARCA 12, 1997 Morelan asked if the determination on the bond/letter of credit would be made at the time a building permit is applied for. The Administrator anticipated that the Council would make the determination as part of its findings in ~ranting the Conditional Use Permit. Fahey asked if the requirement would be an impediment to Sprint. 7obes replied that for the most pa~t it would not. Morelan sug~ested the ordinance include some criteria f'or making a decision on the bond/letter of credit issue, such as the propeity value must equal or exceed twice the tower removal costs. Pedersen felt this issue was not just property value but also how usable the property is. Pedersen pointed out that the property value may be adec~uate, but if the City has to assess tower removal costs, those assessments may be uncollected until tlte property is sold. Fahey suggested the property would have to have suFficient market value to absorb the cost of the assessment if one is imposed for removaL Sca]ze indicated the market value must be higher than just removal costs. The Administrator pointed out that the language provides for the sole discretion of the Council so the Council can take into consideration whatever factors may come into play iu each individual situation. There was no one from the geueral public present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Morelan, seconded by Scalze, the public hearing was closed.
