MEMORANDUM TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PAUL HARRINGTON, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR DATE: June 5, 1995 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, US WEST COMMUNICATIONS, PLANNING CASE NO. 417-95 Patrick Carlson of North Star Land Services, representing US West Communications, has made application on their behalf for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of an enclosure to house fiber fed telecommunication services. The enclosure serves as somewhat of a "field office" for technicians tracking service related problems in the area. The enclosure is approximately 6 'x 9 ' with an overall height of about 6 ' . The height of the structure is somewhat deceiving in that an additional 3 ' is located below ground. US West has indicated that access to the enclosure will be necessary every two • to three months and that average length of on-site personnel is two (2) hours. Location of the structure will be in the extreme northwest corner of the Multi-Tech property fronting County Road H2 . US West is currently in the process of obtaining a 20 'x 20 ' easement from Multi-Tech for its needs. The Municipal Code requires that any structure necessary for the provision of public utility service within the City obtain a Conditional Use Permit prior to its construction. Staff has reviewed the request and found it to be in compliance with the requirements of the Code. Staff would suggest that the Commission - if considering approval of the request - include the following conditions on the approval: 1. A copy of the easement agreement with Multi-Tech be provided to the City. 2 . Landscaping, approved by the City Forester and consistent with the Multi-Tech plantings, be provided on the site. Resolution No. 418-95, including the aforementioned Staff recommendations is attached for your consideration.
