Zoning is `B' Residence, single, entirely and the proposal conforms to both area and frontage requirements of the Zoning Code.

BUII.,DING DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: 1) Nextel West Corporation, 26000 Lorain Road. Proposal to construct 150 foot high monopole communications facility on Recreation Center property. Note: tower will be located 212 feet from the east property line, 451 feet from the west property line, 438 feet from the north properry line, and 330 feet from the existing recreation center building. Chairman Tallon advised that a new plan had been submitted which has moved the tower to the front of the recreation center property; it will be 50 feet off of the property fronting Lorain Road and 84 feet off the parcel facing West Ranchview, 628 feet offthe property on Canterbury Road, and 1401 feet offthe property on Tallwood Drive. Ms. Del Valle, representing Nextel Commuuications, explained that the proposal calls for a 150 foot monopole tower to be located at the south east section of the lot. They met with the residents last week, and since there were objections to the tower being behind the recreation . center, it has been relocated as far away as possible from the residential area. They have looked at other locations, specifically on the AT&T tower in Clague Park, but that site is a mile and a half away from where their tower has to be located and their coverage objectives will not allow them to move the tower that far outside of the area where they should be. That pole is 120 feet tall, and since they need 20 feet of separation, puttmg their antenna at 100 feet would not meet their coverage objective. This tower is 150 feet high and would allow for co-location for other carriers who should come into the area. Their proposed lease area is 60 by 60 feet (on the ground) where their equipment shelter will be located. In response to Mr. Tallon's question, she advised that the tower must be that high to have coverage of I- 480, Route 10, and Columbia Road; a lower height would not allow a signal to be received 'mside the Great Northern Shopping Center. She stated that Radio Frequency Engineers had determined that these objectives could not be obtained at a lower height, since the height of the tower will link it with other surrounding towers. The nearest tower is six miles from this site and it has to cover-an area of three to --- 3
