Approved <br /> building. The applicants stated that they would be willing to redesign the building, but <br /> would like to know exactly what would gain them approval since each time they have the <br /> plans redrawn it costs thousands of dollars. <br /> Baker stated that he would approve a northerly variance since the rail way is adjacent to <br /> the property. Fernelius replied that he still has concerns about the use of the property; <br /> however staff will proceed as directed by the Commission. Schiferl stated that if there is <br /> a revised site plan, he would not like to see any additional variance than what was <br /> allowed in the 2003 approval. <br /> Motion by Baker, Second by Zisla to CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING MEETING <br /> UNTIL JULY TO ALLOW THE APPLICANTS TO SUBMIT A REVISED PLAN. <br /> 7 Ayes, 0 Nays,MOTION CARRIED. <br /> Public Hearing: SP2006-007 Special Use Permit to Construct a 100' Monopole <br /> Wireless Telecommunications Tower <br /> The applicant has been working on behalf of T-Mobile in order to locate a site for a new <br /> wireless telecommunications tower for T-Mobile. The Zoning Ordinance provides <br /> standards under which towers can be constructed by approval of a Special Use Permit. <br /> The applicant has submitted all necessary materials to be considered for a Special Use <br /> Permit. <br /> Baker inquired if staff had any meetings with the Fire Inspector in regards to the tower <br /> being right next to the propane tanks. Gundlach replied that she, the Fire Inspector and <br /> the Building Official all went out to the site and viewed the proposed location of the <br /> tower. The Fire Inspector helped draft the condition in the resolution; he and the <br /> Building Official will review the engineers' certification. Baker inquired if the tower <br /> would collapse on the propane tanks. Gundlach replied that the City has not received the <br /> engineer's certificate, so it is not clear how it would collapse; however the Fire Inspector <br /> and the Building Official would review it prior to any permits being approved. Fernelius <br /> replied if the Fire Inspector and the Building Official approve the plans that come in for <br /> the design and the collapse of the tower, then the City is fine with this location. <br /> Schiferl asked if the engineer would be an independent party. Fernelius replied that the <br /> engineer would have to be a state licensed engineer that has a PE certification. Schiferl <br /> inquired if this requirement is in the City ordinance. Gundlach replied that it is in the <br /> ordinance and a condition of approval. O'Brien requested that the engineer who will <br /> certify the tower go to the site. Gundlach stated that the City code states "a licensed, <br /> professional engineer certification"would be required for the certification of the tower. <br /> Page 9 of 13 <br />
