� • C�t� o� ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL • No. 1//S • - . . 14 . On December 11, 1979, the applicant made certain promises to the City Council regarding assistance to his neighbors with any interference problems, enclosing the base of the tower to prevent climbing, limiting the use of his equipment to the terms of his amateur license, applying for a building permit, supplying engineering certification of the tower' s structural integrity, and physically reducing the height of the tower to within permitted dimensions by agreed upon dates, all in return for the City approving a conditional use permit for his one existing tower, as modified. 15. The City staff prepared a resolution and agreement to the above effect for the applicant to sign prior to the January 15 , 1980 City Council meeting. The applicant, however, chose to significantly modify the resolution changing dates of compliance as well as omitting all limitations to "one" antenna. 16. On January 15, 1980, the applicant did not appear at the Council meeting but several neighbors did appear telling stories of continued interference and no cooperation from the FCC. The Council chose not to adopt the altered resolution and instead asked staff to arrange a meeting between the applicant and his neighbors to allow them to resolve their interference problems. 17. Staff attempted to arrange said meeting, but the applicant refused to attend or to assist his neighbors in any way. 18 . On January 30, 1980 , the applicant appeared before the City Council and withdrew his application, promising to have the tower removed by "Friday, February l, 1980" . 19. As of this date, after several discussions between the applicant and the City Attorney with repeated promises to have the tower removed "within the week" , the tower remains in place and in use. 20. The City on January 16, 1980, received a letter from . Chester Zimniewicz, a registered civil engineer, stating that he had "analyzed and investigated the tower as constructed and finds that it meets or exceeds the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, 1976 Edition" . On February 13, 1980, the City received a call from Mr. Zimniewicz requesting the address and telephone number of Mr. Petersen and/or his attorney so he could bill for his services. The tone of the call indicated that Mr. Zimniewicz may never have been on the property to see or inspect the tower. , - PAGE 3 OF 4 .
