. . April 22,1992 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 5 of the lot known as 6220 Cabanne to service cellular telephone usage. He stated that they have submitted a revised plan that meets and/or addresses all of the concerns stated by the Commission at the last meeting. They have added landscaping to the lot, will have a 10' high fence with barbed wire at the top and will seed the area to the west of the lot. In regard to staff concerns about Television reception, there have not been studies done but the amount of wattage emitted by the tower is nothing close to that of a television tower's emission and would allow transmission. Chairperson Kreishman asked Mr. Goldman to report on the staff review. Mr. Goldman explained that the applicants have responded to all of the concerns stated at the last meeting. He still has reservations about the Television and Radio reception and therefore feels that the condition concerning that in his recommendation should be included. Mr. Foxworth asked what type of waves the tower sends out. Mr. King stated that he would refer that question to Southwestern Bell engineer, Rick Pierce. Mr. Pierce stated that the waves are not micro-waves or electrical waves. They are more like radio waves sent out at a very low frequency. The highest signal is at 100 watts. Mr. Foxworth asked what the radius of the waves were. Mr. Pierce stated that the waves have a radius of approximately three miles. Mr. Marsh stated that he would feel more comfortable if they included the word "people" in the condition about Television and Radio reception. Mr. Marsh moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: I. Should the City find that the installation has a negative effect on radio or television reception or the health of people in the vicinity of the tower, it shall give notice of its finding to the applicant; and if after a period of six months the City finds no significant improvement, this permit shall become null and void and the applicant shall cease operation from this site and remove the tower and all equipment from the site. 2. In the event the applicant stops using the tower and equipment for a period of 12 months, the applicant shall remove structures and equipment from the site. 3. Landscaping shall be maintained in accordance with the revised plan submitted. 4. The 22' wide strip of land between this applicant's property and the Eastgate park shall be cleared of rubble and debris, seeded and then maintained by this applicant until such time as it is developed by another applicant. m-4-22.plc
