Not applicable as the tower/property isn't within a residentially zoned area. G. Application for the permit must include construction drawings showing proposed method of installation, structural engineering analysis, and a site plan depicting structures and plantings on the property and all adjacent properties. At the request of the administrative authority, documentation of a maintenance program may be required. Applicant has submitted necessary construction drawings, which have been forwarded to the Building Official and Fire Marshall. Their comments have been incorporated into the staff recommendation below. H. If any modifications are made to the structure, the City shall have the authority to require proof that the addition, change, or modification is in conformity with the permit and the Uniform Building Code. Noted in the conditional staff recommendation below. I. The owner of such a structure shall assume complete liability in case of personal or property damage. The applicant has indicated in the attached narrative that T.-Mobile carries all necessary insurance for liability pertaining to this type of damage. (4) Special Use Permit. Wireless telecommunication towers/antenna shall be subject to approval of a special use permit. A special use permit shall be considered provided it is determined that the location and size of the use and type of operation involved therein shall not be injurious to the public health, safety, convenience, or general welfare and, shall not injure or adversely affect the adjacent area or property values. The Planning Commission, in making a recommendation, and the City Council, in acting upon the special use permit, shall consider the following factors: A. The application for special use permit shall be processed according to Chapter 8 of the Zoning Code. The applicant is undergoing the appropriate Special Use Permit process. B. Applications for special use permits must meet the standards of Section 4-600 (2), A-I. Conformance with this condition is noted above. C. Wireless telecommunication towers/antenna may be constructed to a height that exceeds the required setback up to 33%. As a condition of approval, the City must be provided with a licensed professional engineer's certification that the tower is designed to collapse or fail within a distance or zone shorter than the required setback distance as determined by the height of the structure or telecommunication tower. The required setback is specified in Section 4-600 (2),A-B.. T-Mobile's tower design meets this requirement, which allows for a setback of 75' instead of the required setback equal to the height of the tower. One of the conditions of approval is that the applicant furnish the engineer's certification prior to issuance of any building permits.
