The proposed <br />tower will be located at 6405 Green Valley Road on property owned by Jeffrey and Caroline Rowe. <br />The public hearing for the request was continued to the April Planning Commission meeting due to <br />the need for a variance and a revised site plan from the applicant. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br />e) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Tower Overlay District Map <br />Revised Site Plan showing location of tower on property. <br />Tower Details <br />Proposed Findings of Fact <br />Proposed Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />State statute requires notification of the public hearing to property owners within 350 feet of the <br />subject property. Staffsent out notices to ail property owners within 350 feet. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Towers are permitted in residential districts as long as they are located in the Tower Overlay District <br />(see attached map) and are at least 10 acres in size. The subject property is located within the Tower <br />Overlay District but does not meet the minimum lot size of 10 acres. The subject property, Lot 4, <br />Block 1, Valley View Estates is approximately 9.27 acres in size. The minimum lot size in the area <br />is 10 acres. As part of the Valley View Estates plat approved in 2000, four lots were created, all less <br />than 10 acres. The original parcel was 38.7 acres and under City Ordinances were allowed to create <br />4 lots. The developer received a variance ['or Lots 1-3 for lot size and lot width. Lot 4 (the subject <br />property), was allowed to be created as a remnant parcel per City Ordinances. it should be noted that <br />when Lot 4 was created, the County requested an additional 27 feet of right-of-way to be dedicated <br />for Green Valley Rd. (CR 63). If the right-of-way is included, Lot 4 is approximately 10.3 acres. <br /> <br />As reported at the March Planning Commission meeting, a variance is necessary to allow for the cell <br />tower to be located on the Rowe lot. The Board of Adjustment will be considering the variance <br />request at their April meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />
