MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON MAY 12,1997 <br />( * #15) ADVERTISE FOR BIDS - OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD BIKE/HH<X <br />TRAIT. <br />Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to authorize the City Engineer to advertise for bids <br />for the Old Crystal Bay Road Trail segment from the northerly boundary of the city <br />facilities property to County Road 6. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( #16) TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER AND ANTENNA REGULATIONS - <br />UPDATE <br />Moorse presented the Council with updated information regarding the <br />telecommunications tower and antenna regulations for discussion and input. He noted <br />the City is moving forward in a conservative manner regarding the regulations to find a <br />balance between accommodating PCS vendors and limiting the proliferation of towers. <br />He is concerned that the limitation of antennas to City structures, namely the two water <br />towers may eventually cause a problem with accommodating the potential 5 -6 vendors. <br />Moorse said each tower will probably be limited to use by 2 -3 vendors. He suggested an <br />option might be allowing towers to be built by vendors and owned by the City for lease <br />to the vendors. <br />Jabbour asked if Moorse was convinced that the two water towers would be insufficient <br />to handle the PCS antennas. Moorse indicated the water towers could not accommodate <br />• more than three vendors. He did note that surrounding cities have water towers that also <br />can be used. <br />• <br />Radio said the full extent of the new law is yet unknown. The PCS companies and their <br />representatives have actively been advancing the cause for the companies. <br />Kelley said he felt that the law would probably not require the City to maintain space for <br />a large number of providers and recommended maintaining the antenna locations on the <br />two water towers. He said the first ring suburbs will be affected first by the PCS <br />companies, and the City can watch what occurs. <br />Jabbour said the companies can choose from the locations provided at this time. <br />( #17) OFF -SALE LIQUOR LICENSE -12 HI LIQUOR <br />Moorse reviewed the floor plan for the liquor store. He voiced concern that there will be <br />the ability to access the liquor store from the convenience store. He recommended a <br />door be installed to prevent access by customers for use by employees only. <br />Construction of a wall would impede access to the office and rest room. The police chief <br />recommended approval of the license. <br />21 <br />
