IV. NEW BUSINESS
A. Consider a proposed Ordinance defining Attorney Cook informed the Agency Members that Attorney Gabriel forwarded additional proposed
telecommunication towers - Attorney Cook (Exhibit 1). amendments to the Ordinance. He concurred with some of the proposed amendments, but not all of
them. The following amendments were set out by Attorney Cook:
Page three, Number nine Visual study of the area showing where within a three (3) mile radius any
portion of the proposed tower may be seen." Attorney Gabiel wanted to change it to read one (1) mile
radius.
Page four, Number three, Separation distance (listed in linear feet). Attorney Giebel wanted to reduce
this number to one third. Attorney Cook did not agree with this, but if an applicant could show criteria
for a waiver then the reduction could be permitted.
Page six, Number six, if a proposed site is on private property, the owner may impose reasonable terms
for use of a telecommunications tower and/or tower site. Such terms may include requirements for rent
etc., taking into consideration the capitalized cost of the telecommunications tower and land rental and
other charges payable by the tower owner, the incremental cost of designing and constructing the tower.
Attorney Gabriel suggested the City had no business regulating what a private property owner would
charge or be required to divulge that information to the City. Attorney Cook agreed with that.
Page eight, requirement for occupational license. Attorney Gabriel suggested it was unfair or
unnecessary for this requirement. Attorney Cook stated he does not agree with that. He stated it is a
business establishment in the City and intitled to an occupational license.
Citizen Bill Freeman addressed the Agency and stated the City already has regulations for towers in
the Land Development Regulation's and felt they should leave it as it is.
Member Ledferd moved to recommend to the City Council to adopt the Telecommunication Ordinance
and incorporate the changes Attorney Cook read, seconded by Member Keller.
