Case #6: Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Construct and Operate a Cellular Antenna on a City Water Tower; Case of Verizon Wireless Community Development Director Frolik stated that the City has received an application from Verizon Wireless requesting a conditional use permit to construct and operate cellular antennas on the new City water tower generally located off of Sunwood Drive. The subject property is zoned BW Business Warehouse, surrounding parcels to the north, south, east and west are also zoned BW Business Warehouse. Verizon Wireless is proposing to install cellular antennas on the new City water tower at a height of approximately 110 feet above grade (see site plan). City Code requires all cellular antennas on City owned property to obtain a conditional use permit from the City. The applicant is also proposing to construct a 12-foot by 30-foot (360 square feet) equipment building on the property outside of the water tower base. The City recently approved a conditional use permit request from Verizon Wireless to construct cellular antennas on the City water tower located off of County Road #5. The new City water tower was designed and constructed in a manner to allow for various City equipment and cellular user's equipment to be stored indoors. The City has a construction plan and estimated costs for a second floor mezzanine area. The mezzanine area would be 1,900 square feet in size with the capability to hold 250 pounds per square foot or 262.5 tons. Locating cellular equipment on the mezzanine area will provide the City the opportunity to utilize the property surrounding the base of the water tower for site landscaping, construction of a trail that will connect to an adjacent park, and City Council/August 28, 2001 Page 19 of 36
