Fencing. The Zoning Ordinance does not provide specific dimensional requirements for fencing associated with essential service structures. In this regard, such fencing is considered and processed as a "security fence." According to Section 903.020.F.8. of the Ordinance, fences which are erected primarily to secure a particular area have "arms" inward toward the enclosure not to exceed thirty-six (36) inches in length, located a minimum of six (6) and a maximum of eight (8) feet above ground level, on which arms barbed wire may be strung. According to the submitted application materials, a six (6) foot chain link fence with three (3) strands of barbed wire will enclosed the subject site perimeter. Outdoor Signage. It has not been indicated whether the area to be fenced is to be utilized for outdoor storage. As a condition of CUP approval, outdoor storage is to be prohibited, excepting materials determined by the City to be customary and incidental to the antenna tower use. Landscaping. According to Zoning Ordinance, all lots within the I -P districts shall have not less than twenty -five (25) percent of the lot area dedicated to landscape green area in compliance with Section 903.020.G. of this Ordinance. A landscape plan has not been submitted with this conditional use permit application. Landscape plans must be submitted to and approved by the City Council. Summary and Recommendation An initial issue in consideration of the requested CUP application is whether or not the proposed use can be "reasonably" accommodated via co- location of the proposed antenna upon an existing site tower. According to submitted materials, American Tower Corporation has exhausted all possible co- location possibilities. Should the City determine that the proposed use cannot be reasonably accommodated by requiring co- location, our office would recommend approval of the requested conditional use permit subject to the conditions listed in the Executive Summary of this report. pc: Kathy Glanzer Steve Westerhaus Lee Effering Cingular Wireless 4
