PLANNING REPORT <br /> DATE: November 14, 2013 <br /> CASE: SP2013-006 <br /> SUBJECT: Special Use Permit to permit installation of telecommunications antenna at <br /> 700 Silver Lake Road <br /> APPLICANT: Verizon Wireless LLC <br /> REQUEST&BACKGROUND <br /> Verizon Wireless LLC is requesting a Special Use Permit to allow installation of two additional <br /> telecommunications antenna on the top of the City's water tower located at 700 Silver Lake <br /> Road. Verizon Wireless LLC currently has eight antennas at this location and wishes to increase <br /> their antenna amount to ten. All telecommunication uses are specially permitted uses in New <br /> Brighton. Because Verizon's original approval only allowed for eight antennas, a new Special <br /> Use Permit must be approved to increase the amount. No substantive changes will be made to <br /> the ground equipment or lease space. <br /> Currently, several telecommunication providers use the water tower site at 700 Silver Lake Road <br /> for antenna display. The City consults a special water tower professional to review all plans and <br /> ensure the water tower facility will not be negatively impacted in any way. This consultant has <br /> reviewed the plans and determined the two additional antennas, and their method of attachment, <br /> can be structurally supported and has approved the plans. Because the water tower site is City- <br /> owned, the City Council will also consider a lease amendment with Verizon Wireless LLC for <br /> the additional antennas. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> A—Resolution <br /> B—Project Location Map <br /> C—Zoning Map <br /> D—Aerial Photograph <br /> E—Neighborhood Notification Map <br /> F—Applicant Narrative <br /> G— Special Use Permit Criteria Worksheet <br /> H— Sheet T-1: Title Sheet <br /> I— Sheet A-1: Site Plan <br /> J— Sheet A-2: Tower Elevations <br /> K— Sheet A-3: Antenna Mounting Plan <br /> L— Sheet S-1: Existing &Proposed Plan Views <br /> FINDINGS <br /> Section 4-600 (2) Building Permits Required. <br /> Section 4-600 (4) Special Use Permit. <br /> Section 8-130 Special Use Standards. <br /> SITE CHARACTERISTICS <br /> Location: 700 Silver Lake Road <br /> Lot Size: 38,245 SF (0.88 acres) <br /> Topography: Slopes north, northwest <br />
