The issues are whether this <br />constitutes a public service structure under our ordinance and if <br />the antenna structure meets the criteria of our code. The <br />Planning Commission recommended denial. <br />John Uban stated that he would be addressing the issues of <br />alternative sites explored in the Search Area and perceived <br />impact of the tower through elevation and perspective sketches. • <br />US West would also like to comment and ask questions on the <br />ordinance and procedures of the City to cooperate with the City. <br />Mr. Uban presented an aerial photograph showing the search <br />area and the Church property where the antenna would be located. <br />He noted that on both sides of Highway 12 there is a church and <br />day care center, both occupying sites that are typically <br />commercial in character and where single family houses would not <br />normally be found. Residential areas, golf courses, right -of -way <br />and cemetery /church /day care areas were pointed out on a map. <br />Wetlands were noted as well as the historical alternate Highway <br />12 alignments. <br />Mr. Uban reviewed the various sites that were considered. <br />1. Excess right -of -way. This has been secured as some <br />possible future use for the alignment of Highway 12. This is not <br />available to US West. <br />2. Woodhill Country Club. The Board of Directors would <br />not agree. <br />3. Day Care Center. There were technical reasons making <br />it difficult to use that site, such as no good access and <br />sloping ground making it not practical to use. • <br />19 <br />
