Interotfice Memo <br />Date: September 26^ 1989 <br />To:Jeanne Mabusth, Zoninq Administrator <br />From: Mel Kilbo, Chief of Police <br />Re: Conditional Use Permit - Emergency Preparedness Siren <br />This is a request for a conditional use permit for the <br />installation of an Emergency Preparedness siren at NSP pole <br />jp the right of way at 8-i>5 Windjammer L.ane in the city <br />Orono. <br />This request for conditional use permit is pursuant to <br />Zoning Code Section iO-20, Subdivision o (D) which requires <br />a conditional use permit and approval for public service <br />structures. The City proposes to install a weather siren at <br />the Water Plant. The pole is a standard "telephone pole" <br />with siren at a height of 55' above the ground. The siren <br />enclosure at the top of the pole is about 6 x 2 x 4 and <br />can be any color specified- The system will be within the <br />fenced area of the Water PI ant- <br />Use of the siren will be for weather or civil emergency <br />only, and is NOT a fire siren. This siren will be tested <br />monthly (1st Wednesdav each month, 1 p.m.). The area of <br />coverage is rated at a radius of 4,500 (see the City s <br />c^ren plan attached). The siren has capability to be used <br />directionally as a voice loudspeaker in the event of the <br />need for an evacuation. <br />F'lease note that over the past 11 years, I have had requests <br />for such a siren from a number of residents. <br />Ml iirn
