New Business: <br />T-Mobile’s proposal to construct a building and antenna pole at Groveland Park <br />The City has been contact by T-Mobile to introduce the possibility of constructing a 10'X12' building along with a 100' pole that would have antennas mounted on it in Groveland Park. <br /> The proposed location would be just off of the northeast corner of the basketball court. The initial proposal would include an $800 monthly rental fee with an annual escalator percentage <br /> of 3% - both would be negotiable. There is also the possibility to utilize the pole for mounting lights for the skating rink at Groveland. <br /> <br />T-Mobile rep. was not in attendance to explain their proposal and answer the questions of the Commission—see attached questions. <br /> <br />Majority of PR&F Commissioners (3-2) not in favor of this plan due to park aesthetics, park use, future expansion, and setting precedence. Those in favor supported with the conditions <br /> of fitting in to park aesthetics, has park functional use, neighborhood support. <br /> <br />If City Council moves forward with this plan (at Groveland or in another park), PR&F Commission would request the following: <br />1) An opportunity to explore lighting options at T-Mobile expense for installation and running electricity to the Groveland Park Building to regulate it’s use. <br />2) The funds/proceeds from this project would be put into Park Dedication Funds, or at least into a fund that supports MV Parks (i.e. special projects). <br />3) Building design would need to match new facility—construction type, and appearance. <br />4) If T-Mobile determines to abandon the sight; the pole, lighting, building, etc becomes property of the city. <br />5) We would like a formal presentation to the PR&F Commission by T-Mobile in November.
