The construction of two buildings for Cheetah .ecision was approved and the park dedication was worked out with an agreement for both parties, Public Hearings: SP2007-004 Special Use Permit to allow construction of an equipment shelter & antennas for Verizon Wireless The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit to install telecommunication equipment, including an equipment shelter measuring 12' x 20' and additional antennas, for use by Verizon Wireless at the water tower property located at 700 Silver Lake Road (also known at 675 Forest Dale Road). The need for an additional equipment shelter is due to Verizon Wireless buying out an existing antenna user. In addition, Verizon Wireless would install 8 new antennas (4, 8 foot in height; and 4,4 feet in height) on the water tower. In February and July of 1996 the City approved a Special Use Permit to allow telecommunications equipment on the site. The February 1996 approval was for American Portable Telecom, which has subsequently been bought out by T-Mobile. Antenna and an equipment shelter currently exist on this site for T-Mobile. The July 1996 approval was for Nextel, which also have antenna and an equipment shelter on site. However, staff was not able to locate any specific Special Use Permit approvals for Qwest, which is the existing antenna user Verizon is buying out. As a result, Verizon Wireless must obtain a Special Use Permit. Dave Fischer, Buell Consulting for Verizon Wireless, stated that the dimensions of the equipment shelter would be 13' 4" x 20, which is an addition of 1.4 feet. This was presented to the Public Works Director who approved the change. Gundlach replied the structure would still be within the setback guidelines and staff has no issues 8th the change of building size. Fischer reported that Verizon Wireless acquired Qwests' Wireless lease and ~ll be replacing the current antennas with eight panel antennas and the equipment shelter. '''<Page 1 00
