To: Planning Commission ChairMan Kelley <br />Orono Planning Commission Members <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />From: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />Date: November 15, 1988 <br />Subject: #1355 Kenneth J. Wessels, 1245 Woodhill Avenue - <br />Conditional Use Permit - Public Hearing <br />Zoning District - RR-lB <br />Pertinent Ordinance - <br />Section 30.20, Subdivision 3 (M) - Antenna Structure - One independant <br />antenna structure with antenna or combination of antenna thereto, <br />subordinate to in servicing the principal use or structure on the same <br />lot and customarily incidental thereto, that is not attached to <br />another structure, provided the height of the antenna structure does <br />not exceed 65' and the antenna structure is set back from any lot line <br />a distance at least equal to the total height of the antenna <br />structure. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit <br />A <br />- Application <br />Exhibit <br />B <br />- Property Owners List <br />Exhibit <br />C <br />- Plat Map <br />Exhibit <br />D <br />- Addendum <br />Exhibit <br />E - <br />Specification Sheets <br />Exhibit <br />F <br />- Site Plan <br />Review of Application - <br />Mr. Wessels proposes the installation of an independant antenna <br />structure to the northeast of his residence structure currently under <br />construction. Per the enclosed spec sheets, review Exhibit F, the tower <br />will be supported from a concrete base stub requiring no guy wires. The <br />actual antenna structure is supported from this base on a triangular <br />structure measuring 20" on all sides. The antenna structure itself will be <br />controlled mechanically so when it is not in use it will be lowered to the <br />tree level 30' to 351. The tower will extend no higher than 60' when in <br />transmitting mode. The antenna structure will not exceed the allowed 65' <br />in height (review Exhibit F). The setbacks from the lot lines of the <br />property well exceed the required 60' distance, ranging from a 165' to <br />370'. The antenna structure will not interfere with any power poles. Mr. <br />Wessels has centrally located the antenna structure on the property. The <br />existing trees around the house will provide additional screening for the <br />adjacent property owners. The fact that guying will not be required for <br />the structure will also minimize the visual impact of the antenna. <br />Wessels advises that this is merely a hobby and is not related to the <br />operation of his business. The use of the antenna can be considered an <br />accessory use and can not be installed until the principal structure has <br />been issued a Certificate of Occupancy. It should be noted that the <br />installation of the antenna structure will require a building permit from <br />the City of Orono. <br />
