Mayor Scoma advised the Council that according to Council procedures a representative of the request must be in attendance at the Council meeting to present the request or the request will be tabled and not heard by the Council. The City Attorney asked Mr. Pitstick the date applicant applied for replat. Mr. Pitstick advised Mr. McEntire that the Planning and Zoning Commission approved applicant's request on August 24,2000. Mr. McEntire advised Council if they do not act on this item tonight that the plat will be approved by failure to act within 30 days of approval from action of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Trevino inquired if this is a loophole in the system, and if so, the Council should deny the item. An item will automatically be approved without the applicant or representative appearing before the City Council. Councilman Phifer inquired about the provisions and procedures alluded to by Mayor Scoma. He would like to know if this provision mentioned by the Mayor is a written policy that an applicant's case would be tabled if he/she was not available to discuss the replat with Council. Mayor Scoma advised Councilman Phifer that it was a written policy. Councilman Phifer asked if the written policy was a resolution passed by Council. City Council Minutes September 11, 2000 Page 5 Mr. McEntire believed there was such an action passed by Council noted in the Council Rules of Regulation. Councilman Phifer wanted to make sure that Council had a resolution that says Council can table an item if applicant is not available to discuss the merits of the case. If the Council does not have a resolution then the Council has no basis for denial. By law, the applicant is meeting the city ordinance and the Council can not deny the request. Mr. McEntire believes that Council can deny the case if no one is present for the petition for platting since this is a separate body from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Mitchell moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Welch to deny PS 2000-37. Councilman Trevino inquired what would happen to the applicant if the request is denied by Council. Would the applicant have to bring this back to Council? Councilman Trevino asked Council if they would consider denying the motion with the stipulation that they waive the fee. Mr. Larry Cunningham, City Manager asked Mr. McEntire if applicant could make an appeal to the City Council. Mr. McEntire advised Council that applicant could come back at the next council meeting and request that this case be reconsidered. Mr. Cunningham asked Mr. McEntire if this item needs to be put on the next agenda as a reconsideration, which would mean this item would not be heard until the second meeting (October 9, 2000) from tonight. Mr. McEntire concurred with Mr. Cunningham's assessment of the appropriate steps to appeal a case. Councilman Trevino asked to amend the motion to include waiving applicant's fees. Councilman Mitchell accepted amendment and Mayor Pro Tem Welch seconded the amendment. Motion to deny carried 6-1; with Mayor Pro Tem Welch, Councilmen Mitchell, Metts, Tolbert, Trevino and Councilman Johnson voting for and Councilman Phifer voting against.

Also present was Richard Bates from GSBS and Julia McGrath, Sean Stewart and Mike Boruch with Wide Open West. Councilman Tolbert voiced concerns with the dish antennas popping up at various intervals over the 8-foot masonry wall. He inquired if applicant would be willing to incorporate more landscaping since the masonry wall will not be increased to 12 feet. He would like to see fast growing trees that provide good coverage and possibly line up with the dish antennas. Mr. Wieder advised Council he would ask the developer and proposed tenant. Mr. Wieder mentioned that GSBS and the Planning and Zoning Commission discussed this at length at the August 24 meeting. Currently there are trees in that area and some of the trees will have to be removed for the masonry wall and fiber optic cable. The developer and tenant advised the Planning and Zoning Commission that they were willing to replant trees and would try and line up the trees in front of the discs as much as possible. City Council Minutes September 11, 2000 Page 8 Councilman Tolbert inquired if applicant would be willing to create a masonry base on the pole sign so it would match the monument signs to be placed on the property. He is envisioning something along the lines of the Home Depot Expo sign. Mayor Scoma advised Councilman Tolbert that Council could not integrate the merits of applicant's request and the pole sign to serve the entire Business Park. There was discussion concerning what would happen to the tower in the event that the tower ceased to be used by a major telecommunications tenant. The Council discussed the time period for removing the tower. Mr. Boruch advised Council that there is a provision in their negotiations with the developer that allow the tower to remain or be taken down. Mr. Bates advised Council the lease stipulates that the tenant has an obligation to take the tower down at the time their lease terminates. However, we have the right to purchase the tower from Wide Open West at that time and determine the value of the tower. Mr. Bates asked Council to consider a stipulation of 360 or 270 days before the tower would have to be removed. Mr. Pitstick advised Council this property is zoned Industrial (12). The applicant is requesting a zoning change to PD with a base use of C2. The applicant is requesting a 1 OO-foot telecommunications tower, 10 satellite dish sites, a storage area for fiber optic cable and related materials and service vehicle parking fully enclosed within a 8 foot masonry wall. Applicant is also asking for retail office and commercial use as permitted in a C2 Commercial Zoning District as provided in the table of permitted uses and is asking for Industrial Uses permitted in the 12 Industrial District as provided in table within a fully enclosed building. Currently 12 allows some outside storage, applicant is limited under this PD to have everything within a fully enclosed building and he is eliminating wrecking, auto-salvage yard, adult entertainment establishments, food- processing plants and reclamation centers. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the request with the stipulation that the monument signs be limited to maximum height and footage as allowed by the sign ordinance. Applicant has made the requested change to the site plan. Councilman Tolbert asked Mr. Pitstick if he has any recommendation of what type of trees would be planted in front of the satellite dishes. Mr. Pitstick advised Council that he could work with the Parks Department to find some existing trees that would be fast growing. City Council Minutes September 11, 2000 Page 9 Mayor Scoma opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Scoma closed the public hearing.

Mr. Wieder advised Council that the proposed tenant has no problems with what has been proposed by Councilman Tolbert, but he can not take down the chain link fence that surrounds the antennae and the dishes. Wide Open West wanted to make sure that was maintained. The chain link fence, also known as the drop area, is for maintaining interior security.
