tn regards to the specific request, Cingular Wireless has submitted information requesting permission <br />to construct a 120' monopole communications tower. City Code allows for a maximum height of <br />120' for communications towers located in residential districts. The applicant has also submitted <br />plans showing the location of the proposed tower and accessory building serving the tower on the <br />property. Based on previous Staff comments, the applicant has relocated the proposed tower to <br />comply with the required setback of 180 feet. The plan now complies with City Code and is 195 feet <br />from the east property line. <br /> <br />City Code states that no new tower shall be approved unless the Council finds that the equipment <br />planned for the proposed tower cannot be accommodated on an existing tower or building within a <br />one (1) mile radius of the proposed tower. City records do not show any communications tower <br />located within a mile of the proposed site. The applicant has provided the City information <br />regarding other towers in the area (all over a mile from the subject property) and a coverage map <br />showing the need for the tower on the subject property. <br /> <br />The communications tower and accessory buildings will be contained in a 50' x 65' fenced in area. <br />City Code requires that all ground equipment and structures should be screened with vegetation. The <br />revised plan shows the planting of' seven Black Hills Spruce around the perimeter of the fencing <br />which Staff feels fulfils the screening requirement. The structure containing the equipment will be of <br />masonry construction. There would be no personnel stationed at the site and no sits will be posted <br />on the tower or equipment building except applicable warning or equipment information signs. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff.recommends approval of the CUP request. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council adopt Findings of Fact~ relating to a request from <br />Cingular Wireless for a conditional use permit to construct a communications tower on a portion of <br />property located at 6405 Green Valley Rd. <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the request for a conditional use permit based <br />on Findings of Fact #__ and adopt a resolution declaring terms of same. <br /> <br />-or- <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council deny the request for a conditional use permit based on the <br />findings of fact. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />Asst.
