Mr. Viera reported that Clearwire Communications,LLC, is proposing to install high-speed wireless Internet antennas on the roof of the Silver Lake Plaza building at 4001 Stinson Boulevard. 2. That the requested conditional use permit will not be detrimental to health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property values of improvements in the area. Mr. Viera stated that other communications companies currently have antennas installed on the roof of the Silver Lake Plaza building. He also indicated that the radiation levels associated with the high-speed antennas negligible to anyone in the building and on the ground that there is no danger to the general public. He did indicate that technicians working directly with the antennas do wear protective clothing. 3. The requested Conditional Use Permit is considered necessary or desirable at the subject location to provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community. Mr. Viers stated that this location is desirable for this type of high-speed Internet antennas because of the height associated with the proposed location. The high-speed Internet service provided by Clearwire Communications uses the bandwidth that is at this height. When asked about any radiation threat to those in the building and Mr.Viera responded that because the bandwidth is at this height and is not directed toward the building or the ground,there is virtually no danger to anyone in the building,on the ground or living in the area. He again suggested that he would have an engineer at the public hearing to provide more technical information regarding these types of questions.
