• • Planning & Zoning Board January 10, 2001 Page 8 Mr. Smyser stated the CPU designed last fall was tailored for Mr. Kerber's company, but it was not unusual for one entity to own the property and another business to lease the property. He stated it was possible that the principal use of the business could change, as it stood now RVs are not accessory to a land development company. Chair Schaps stated if Mr. Kerber expanded his principal business, this might work. Mr. Smyser stated the public hearing was closed, but the item could be tabled to the next meeting to give them time to work with Mr. Kerber. He stated the concern was making sure they knew what was going to be stored on the facility. He stated they were not adverse to new businesses coming into the community, but wanted to make sure any business coming in would be well managed. Mr. Kerber asked what would happen if he owned part of the RV business.

Mr. Rafferty left meeting at 8:00 p.m. Staff presented its analysis of the request, noting it has concluded that new towers were allowed only in PSP and GI districts. Other districts allow antennas on existing structures such as buildings and water towers, but do not allow new towers. It was also noted there was some differences between requirements for wireless service towers and towers for radio and television. Staff stated the new tower was proposed to be constructed next to
