PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE BY
REVISING ARTICLE 7 COMMUNICATION TOWERS AND TELEVISION
RECEIVERS, SECTION 735A, SPACING AND DEVELOPMENT
REQUIREMENTS.
APPROVED
Chairman Bowen opened the public hearing on this matter and called for staff
comments. John Pitstick, Director of Development, explained that the City has
had several applications for communication towers in the past few months and
expects to have increased tower applications in the future. City Council
members are concerned with the visibility of towers from our major arterials.
Current regulations call for a setback of 1000 to 1250 feet for existing towers
and there is a 3 to 1 requirement for spacing from residentially zoned property.
This ordinance revision would restrict setbacks on a 4 to 1 basis (most of the
surrounding communities use a 4 to 1 restriction) from both residential and major
arterials. Mr. Pitstick also explained that using existing towers, rather than
erecting a new tower, is encouraged, as well as dual usage of existing towers.
There were no public comments.
After discussion by commission members, Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Lueck,
made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the
City Council approve the revision with a ratio of 6 to 1. The motion passed
unanimously (6-0).

Wayne Flores from Washington Associates was present. John Andrus, Property
Closing Ltd., was also available to answer questions. Mr. Flores confirmed that
there will be a maintenance agreement for the 7 foot deep detention pond before
it goes to Council. Mr. Andrus indicated that a formal site plan for landscaping
has not yet been submitted, but he did plan to hide the detention pond through
the use of landscaping. He will submit the landscaping plan at the same time
that he submits the plan for the 6 foot masonry screening wall which will be built
along the line of 6, 5, and a small part of 4. As each lot is developed, the
masonry wall will be continued, with like materials. Mr. Andrus indicated that he
will keep specific control over the architectural material of the wall through the
use of a reciprocal easement agreement.
Mr. Davis made a motion on PS-2000-45 for recommendation of approval to City
Council with the maintenance agreement being submitted prior to plat going to
City Council regarding the detention pond, and that a typical masonry screening
wall detail and the landscape plan for Lot 6 be submitted at time of building
permit. Mr. Lueck seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously (6-0).
