Chairman Young stated that a Public Hearing had been advertised in the newspaper, He explained the rules governing a Public Hearing and he opened the Public Hearing.

He informed the Commissioners that the number of € ob€le telephone users had grown im menseiy that the cellular systems need to grow to meet that demand. He stated that each cell has a limited capacity and when the cell fills up then it becomes necessary to install additional cell sites, He .stated the proposed antenna was to serve the growth in this area. There are three criteria the sites need to meet; 1.) meet radio technology meaning it needs to be in the right place to work, 2.) locate antenna in a place that is already zoned properly and try to stay away from residential areas. Although, he stated there have been cases where an antenna is located next to a homeowner, and 3..) SWE3MS tries to find a property owner to lease a small amount of PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING n PAGE SIX DECEMBER 5< 1995 space for a ;eery long time. He stated in this case they had met all three criteria. there being no proponents or opponents, Chairman Young closed the Public Hearing. Chairman Young called for pUestions and discussion among the Commissioners, Commissioner McMillon Meted he had experienced a dead zone for mob le units in the proposed area. He stated as the ("'ity develops the park a nd other facilities in that area there is a need for better reception and he supported the request. Commissioner Bright agreed with Commissioner MoMillorr, Commissioner Eggers asked if there had been any telephone calls or letters fro m citizens either for or against the request. bandy Byers staved the staff had received no c-albs. Con°m€ssioner Owens stated he had several concerns with the proposal, He stated when S'W,'_3'MS constructed the first facility they had said it was projected to take care of the entire city a nd a portion of Irving traffic. He stated the City still had approximately 40,000 that could still have telephones, He asked how ma ny teiephones the central station would accommodate and what was the capacity of the new antenna. Mr, Kavanagh stated that the ante nna Commissioner Owens was referring to was the ce ntral switch facility and was the brains of the system. All cellular telepho ne calls for A'SiMS are routed to the central facility. He stated there ,"Vas also e cellular antenna at the switch site that was independe nt from the central facility. At the time it was installed it would accommodate the number of cellular users, but there has been enormous growth i n cellular usage, Commissioners Owens stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission just went through a radio antenna situation n wNch the residents were perturbed with the way it looped. He asked if tomorrow or the next day would the P&Z be faced with an antenna by so€-neone`s home, maybe in Marrisdale. He asked if there was another place in town to install the antenna, possibly water towers or tall buildings, He proposed a larger syste m rather tha n several s mall systems, Mr, Kavanagh stated the idea was a good one and if there are existing structures available they like to use then. He informed the Commissioners missioners they had antennas o n several multi-story office buildings, church steeples and water towers, He stated the problem with the cellular system is that each ,ell has limited capacity so the tall structures had to be in the right place_ He stated the antennas reed to be built as€obi°to the ground as possible as opposed to eery high Iscmeplaces are 50-75 ft, and in the future on two stony buildings instead of 5-6 story buildings.) Commissioner Owens asked if there were any water to wers or other options to build the antenna, Mr. Kavanagh stated he did not know if there were other options mailable. Commmsioner Owens there asked Torn Cox, ;'--/Iirector PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - PAGE SEVEN DECEMBER 5, 1996 of Economic Developrnent, if ';here were other options available in the City to locate the antenna, Mr, C-Iox stated he wou:d meet with Mr. Kavanagh and c1neck into the possibilities of other alternatives, Commissioner Owens asked if the applicant was on a dead line. Mr. Kavanagh stated as soon as City Council approves/disapproves this request they would be ready for a building d, agreement with the , permit and be up within days. He stated they had an aq 1, property owner in the industrial area. The antenna is a 100 foot pole. Comml I ssioner Owens asked the applicant how he thought the antenna would look :n the mayor's back yard if they Fnad to put it tin someone's yard. Mr. Kavanagh stated that is the reason they were proposing an industrial area and not residential areas. Commissioner Eggers asked if the applicant ever envisioned lowering the tower, Mr. Kavanagh stated he had never <ieard of lowering an existing tower. Chairma n Young asked the applicant to give an idea stating under what conditions would necessitate another cell tower. Mr, Kavanagh stated it would be quite a while before. the City would require another tower and he did not know of any other dead areas. However, he stated there would be other cellular companies coming into the city in the next 6 months asking for permission to construct towers, Chairman Young stated the Commissioners had been given criteria by which to consider the ments of the case. He o I riefly went over the criteria. He asked for any further discussion regarding the criteria. Commissioner Owens made the motion to approve SUP #95-27 as presented, with the understanding if a place within the City, that belongs to the City, can be used and be more compatible to eliminating the towers that staff will bring it back before the Cornmissioner McMillon stated he understood the motion to state, that Mr. Cox would meet with Mr. Kavanagh and see if there were any alternatives available, however if there were no alternatives avai€able, the case would move on to City Council and not come back before the Commissioners because it was approved. Commissioner Owens agreed and stated he did not want to delay the case but, if the Commissioners could limit the number of towers in the City then it would be better. Commissioner McMillon seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ayes. Commissioners Owens, McMillon, Eggers, Bright, Young. Nays, None The motion carried.
