MINUTES Planning Commission January 12, 1989 The City Planner pointed out that the Commission's comments will be recorded in the minutes. DeBace pointed out that he and Frank Frattalone met with the Planner on this matter, and the Planner was going to write a letter stating that the PUD proposed for the property would work from the basic I -1 District, however, still allow the Council to try to get the best development on parcels that it can. The City Planner stated that he would prepare such a memo and submit it to the Commission. The Commission felt that the matter should be tabled until it has the letter from the Planner addressing the concerns raised this evening. The Planner pointed out that the 60 day time period for action on this rezoning proposal will have passed by the time the matter reaches the Council at it next meeting. Therefore, the Council has the ability to act on the rezoning without a recommendation from the Commission. However, the Planner did not anticipate that the Council would take action prior to the Commission's making a recommendation. Mr. DeLonais recommended that the proposed rezoning of property in the area of Country Drive to PUD be tabled pending a report from the City Planner addressing the concerns of the Commission which were raised this evening. Motion seconded by Schweizer. Motion carried 7 - 0. Cellular Dewayne Carroway, Cellular One, appeared before the Commission regarding One Cellular One's proposal to mount its antennas and a microwave dish on the City's water tower. This proposal also includes construction of a 12 foot by 28 foot equipment shelter at the base of the tower. Carroway pointed out that a couple of years ago Cellular One approached the City proposing to construct a 180 foot tower within the City. This new proposal replaces the one for the tower. Carroway reported that the City Planner has indicated that the placement of the equipment on the City's water tower is an excellent alternative, however, pointed out that the proposed shelter does not meet setback requirements. Carroway stated that in order to meet setback requirements, the building would have to be placed within 3 feet of the water tower. The foundation for the water tower extends 10 feet from the tank, and Cellular One's engineer is concerned about this. Carroway pointed out that the water tower does not meet setback requirements. The City Planner reported that the Public Works Superintendent has suggested that the equipment building be placed in front of the water tower for Page -5-
