The need for an additional <br />equipment shelter is due to Verizon Wireless buying out an existing antenna user. In addition, Verizon <br />Wireless would install 8 new antennas (4, 8 foot in height; and 4, 4 feet in height) on the water tower. <br /> <br />In February and July of 1996 the City approved a Special Use Permit to allow telecommunications equipment <br />on the site. The February 1996 approval was for American Portable Telecom, which has subsequently been <br />bought out by T-Mobile. Antenna and an equipment shelter currently exist on this site for T-Mobile. The July <br />1996 approval was for Nextel, which also have antenna and an equipment shelter on site. However, staff was <br />not able to locate any specific Special Use Permit approvals for Qwest, which is the existing antenna user <br />Verizon is buying out. As a result, Verizon Wireless must obtain a Special Use Permit. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CPH. <br />Motion by ---, Second by --to <br />LOSE THE UBLIC EARING <br /> <br />MC. <br />5 ayes, 0 nays. <br />OTION ARRIED <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Motion by O’Keefe, second by Schiferl to Approval of SP2007-004. <br /> <br />MC. <br />5 ayes, 0 nays. <br />OTION ARRIED <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Announcements <br /> <br />I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\Minutes\2007\05-15-2007.docPage 1 of 2 <br /> <br />
