The <br />following is an analysis of whether this request complies with those various Zoning Code <br />standards (staff responses in italics): <br />Section 4-600 (2) provides that the following regulations are met prior to issuance of any <br />building permits for towers and/or antenna. <br />A. All towers and antennae shall have setbacks equal to or greater than the height of the <br />proposed structure, unless otherwise reduced by action of the City Council in accordance <br />with Zoning Code Section 4-600 (4) (D). <br />The antennas are being erected at a height of 120' on an existing tower. The existing <br />tower is setback roughly 5' from the right of way line of Old Highway 8 NW. <br />Additionally, 23' of undeveloped right-of-way exists for a combined 28' setback to the <br />curb of Old Highway 8 NW. Being the tower structure the antenna are being mounted to <br />is existing and not proposed, this standard is not applicable. <br />B. The distance of any guy anchorage or similar device shall be at least ten feet from any <br />property line. <br />This condition does not apply as there are no guy anchorage or similar devices needed <br />for these antenna and because the tower is existing. <br />C. Suitable protective anti -climb fencing and a landscape planting screen shall be <br />provided and maintained around the structure and accessory attachments. <br />The applicant is proposing a 10'x 10' lease area for ground equipment. The ground <br />equipment is roughly the size of a small refrigerator and is located on the west side of the <br />transmission tower, nearly 60' from the curb of Old Highway 8 NW. No screening is <br />proposed nor does staff believe any is necessary. The equipment is not visible from the <br />roadway and the area is not used by pedestrians. <br />D. The applicant shall present documentation of the possession of any required license by <br />any Federal, State, or local agency. <br />This documentation will be provided at the time of building permit submittal and verified <br />by the Building Oficial prior to issuance of any permits. 0 <br />
