MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 1, 1981 Page 3 <br />Newman noted that formal approval would have Mr. Peters:ai's <br />name on it not the owner's. He stated that he had talked <br />ith NSP and they stated that they were more than happy <br />to handle any problems with interference. Northwestern <br />BELL stated that they too would handle any problems right <br />away. FCC stated that they would work with NSP and BELL <br />and also make sure that their equipment is operating properly. <br />Newman noted that when the antenna is not in use it would <br />come to approximately 29' or 30'. Also that none of the <br />neighbors should even be able to see it because of Mr. <br />Petersen's trees. They have structurally modified the <br />antenna to meet all requirements of the City of Orono. <br />If the tower should fall over it would only fall on Mr. <br />Petersen's property, not on the Peterson house nor on <br />anyone elses property. <br />Newman noted that Mr. Petersen sent out Mailgrams to the <br />Edstrom's and the Rokke's who were present at the last <br />meeting. The Mailgram advised the neighbors who to call <br />if they were having any interference problems. <br />Heunmerel suggested that the applicant get letters from <br />NSP, FCC, and BELL stating that they know of the proposed <br />antenna and that they are willing to correct any problems. <br />(PETERSEN CONT.\ <br />Q <br />In the past, Mrs. Edstrom stated that BELL told them that <br />)it wasn't their problem. NSP put two attachments on their <br />telephone which didn't help any at all. FCC took far too <br />long to respond to their last request. <br />David Quay stated that they live H mile away and that they <br />have television interference. He stated that if these <br />companies suggest that he put any correction equipment on <br />his property, why should he have to pay for this when its <br />Mr. Petersan's antenna which is causing the interference. <br />He wanted to know who was going to pay for the cost of <br />fixing his equipment? Is Mr. Petersgn ready to install <br />all correctional equipment on his and others equipment? <br />Newman stated that the FCC would make a personal inspection <br />of their property if desired. <br />Goetten suggested a six month trial period in which Mr. <br />Petersen could operate his antenna, then when the six <br />months were up the City would review the application. <br />Mabusth asked the attorney what was the maximum height <br />of the antenna? <br />Mr. Newman stated that when it was down the antenna would <br />be approximately 29' and could go up to 71', but that they <br />would make structural modification to only allow 65'. This <br />65' would include the special tower antennas at the top.
