Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />Hsu asked why this building was selected for the telecommunications apparatus. <br />Dahl responded that they surveyed about 30 other buildings and this one worked better than the <br />other buildings surveyed. <br />Hsu asked what determined the lateral dimensions of the screening and if the proposed <br />dimensions were the minimum necessary or were built with future additions in mind. <br />Laird responded that the distances off the edges of the buildings were determined by the RF <br />engineers, who wanted to get as close as possible to the edge. Planning staff wanted to have a <br />setback from the edge. So they compromised with 15' off the edge of the building. The other <br />requirement was that when they increased the screens, they wanted the addition to match the <br />rest of the building, which required a larger addition. <br />Williams asked if T-Mobile would be leasing the space on the roof. <br />Dahl responded that T-Mobile would be leasing the space. <br />Dahl thanked the Commission again. <br />Brauneis asked the Commission and staff for further comments and questions. <br />Ritchie stated that the building owner authorized the applicant to process a land -use application <br />for their property. <br />Brauneis closed the public hearing and asked the Commission for discussion. <br />Hsu stated that he thought the applicant complied with the SRU and supported approval of the <br />SRU proposal. <br />Moline agreed and added that he thought adding to existing antennae on buildings was better <br />than adding antennae where there were none before. <br />Hoefner agreed with Moline and stated that it was a de minimis change with what was already <br />on the roof. <br />Howe concurred. <br />Williams stated that she appreciated the improvement to cellular communications in Louisville <br />and was happy with the roof coverage was around 25%. She would have liked to see the <br />materials included in the application. <br />Motion made by Moline to approve Resolution 1, Series 2018 to approve a request for a Special <br />Review Use to allow the construction of a roof mounted CMRS facility for property at 363 <br />Centennial Parkway with the condition that is in the staff report. Seconded by Hoefner. Roll call <br />vote. Motion passes unanimously. <br />DISCUSSION <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />Hsu stated that the Commission does not follow Robert's Rules of Order. <br />Zuccaro stated that Louisville had not adopted Robert's Rules of Order, but that everyone used <br />it as a general guide for hearings. <br />
