CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER
LOCA TION MAP.
APPROVED
The proposed Telecommunications Buffer Map is an effort to encourage proper
location and use of towers. All communication towers must receive approval
from City Council through a Special Use Permit. The map requires 300-ft
separation from residential properties, 150 feet separation from arterials and
commuter rail lines; and 1500 feet from existing towers. A requirement for all
tower requests greater than 65 feet in height is proposed to pay additional
application fees for the purpose of employing an independent consultant to
review all documentation. The proposed ordinance also stipulates that all sites

are required to be surrounded by a 6-foot masonry wall. The ordinance requires
monopole construction and encourages stealthing the antennas/tower when
possible with natural or man made features such as landscape features, clock
towers, steeples, etc. All new towers shall be designed to accommodate the
maximum number of additional users with adequate ground area for equipment
and cabinets.
Tim Welch questioned attorney reviews on this case. John Pitstick commented
that the map does show appropriate and adequate areas for new towers.
