Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 20, 2000 Page 4 1 Bergstrom commented that he felt it was a positive step that AT&T Wireless was willing to 2 construct a larger pole than it needed in the case that the pole needed to be added onto at a future 3 date. 4 Stille mentioned that at the last meeting, Commissioner Melsha had expressed an opinion that 5 the two organizations (US West and AT&T Wireless) should be able to work together in regard 6 to the placement of the monopole. Bergstrom acknowledged that this was a good possibility; 7 however, due to the fact that there was a specific request before the Commission from AT&T, 8 the Commission�needed to move forward on this issue. 9 Isom stated that he was not aware of any requirements in the Conditional Use Permit that 10 incorporated rules in relation to companies working together. 11 Melsha said that placing any conditions with respect to working with US West regarding the 12 placement of the AT&T pole was not an option as this point, but placing certain conditions could 13 be considered for future requests. An example would be a condition of the CUP could be for the 14 parties to submit the request to arbitration if an agreement could not be reached. 15 Motion by Hanson, second by Thomas, to approve the Conditional Use Permit for AT&T 16 Wireless Services to build a new 75-foot monopole based on the following conditions: (1)the monopole must be constructed that an additional 25-foot segment could be added in the future to allow for another communications company to use the pole; and(2)the coloration of the pole 19 and accompanying equipment shelter must match the existing structure as closely as possible. 20 Motion carried unanimously. 21 Bergstrom reminded Ms. Townsend that this issue would be before the City Council at the 22 meeting on June 27, 2000, and he encouraged her to be at the meeting to answer any questions. 23 3.
