<br />City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />March 3, 2009 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br />The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 12, 2009 and <br />forwarded a recommendation of support with two conditions: <br /> <br />1. The proposed A TS shall be designed as a monopole painted to match the <br />cortan finish of the existing Excel transmission poles. <br />2. The Special Review Use is granted to the applicant only. <br /> <br />APPLICANT PRESENTATION <br /> <br />Peter Van Wickler, Sprint Nextel, 333 Inverness Drive South, Englewood, CO <br />was present and available to respond to Council questions. <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENT <br /> <br />Councilor Muckle stated his understanding this monopole is taller than what is <br />allowed. Planning Director Wood explained the standard is 50' and the request <br />is for 80', based on the need for the cell phone coverage. <br /> <br />Councilor Muckle inquired as to the height of the monopoles at the ball fields. <br />Planning Director Wood stated those poles are 70'. <br /> <br />Councilor Muckle asked the applicant if this will be a temporary pole. Mr. Van <br />Wickler stated the first proposal was a tree pole, but there was a concern about <br />birds. Sprint Nextel prefers to have the pole placed on a building however, the <br />future development plan for ConocoPhillips has not been determined. <br />ConocoPhillips has agreed to the 80' pole on their property. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk stated he is not a fan of monopoles, but noted the need for cell phone <br />services. He asked if this monopole could accommodate competitors' service <br />appliances. Mr. Van Wickler confirmed the pole could accommodate <br />competitors' service appliances. <br /> <br />Councilor Muckle encouraged Council to revisit this issue in the future. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilor Muckle voted to approve Resolution No.9, Series 2009, <br />with the two Planning Commission's conditions, with an additional condition that <br />the Special Review Use would expire on March 31, 2014. Councilor Dalton <br />seconded the motion. Roll call vote was taken. All in favor. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Marsella left the meeting at 8:20 p.m. <br /> <br />PERFORMANCE GOALS/QUARTERLY STATUS REPORT <br /> <br />City Manager Fleming reviewed the status of the approved list of 37 goals for the <br />City Manager and Staff to pursue during 2008 and 2009. <br />
