I I I I I I I I I I I Case #2: Group W Cable Of Quad Cities, Inc.'s Request For A Conditional Use Permit' Chairman Peterson read the proposed Findings of Fact as submitted by City Staff, to the Commission and audience present. The Commission then discussed the Findings of Fact point by point. The matter of safety hazard was discussed and it was suggested that a fence surrounding the accessory building and tower could be a condition of the conditional use permit agreement if necessary. Commissioner Schneider co~nented that another alternative to locating"in a residential area would be to 9et approval from Metro Council to utilize only a small portion of the 40 acre parcel across the street from Rolling Green for a Cable tower. Mr. Berg suggested that the 40 acre parcel could be split into 4 - 2½ acre parcels and one 30 acre outlot, which would accomodate the Metro Council and Group W, but the owner of the 40 acre parcel must be receptive to this idea. Commissioner Schneider stated that she doesn't feel that a thorough search for the most suitable property for all concerned has been performed. Mr. Fults commented that the tower is only 2' square, but if this proposed site is not approved, he and Group W will search for another suitable site.
