Ms. Wenger said the project is co-locating on an existing T-Mobile tower behind Patton's Towing. The tower would be extended to 190 feet, and an equipment structure installed within the existing fenced area. Because it is a co-location, the proposal is considered an accessory use under the WTFO District, and does not require a conditional use permit as did the original tower. Mr. Mitchell said the drawing shows a duel flood light and he would like to see an exterior shielded light used. He noted that two 5-ton HVAC units were being installed which could be noisy. Mr. Rerko noted that he requested any generators on the site have shields to control noise levels. Mr. O'Malley said the tower is required to be capable of extending to 200 feet therefore the extension of the tower is appropriate. The review is basically the existing shelter and equipinent issues within the shelter. Mr. Gainar said the location of the tower was chosen to meet the needs of their clients as there is currently a hole in the area signal. The 190 foot level would meet their needs for the antenna and the self contained shelter will fit within the fenced enclosure without disrupting the landscaping. They will use a shielded exterior light on the shelter as requested. The HVAC units will not run siinultaneously; one baclcs the other up and will have a hum similar to a home unit. The HVAC units are needed to lceep the equipment room cool. Mr. Rerlco said the HVAC compressors would be the same as any retail unit on the market. Mr. Gainar said they would not be installing a generator. He believed the noise levels would be about 80 decibels at the most. Mr. Lasko moved, seconded by Mr. Bohlmann, to approve the proposal for COMS08-15: AT&T Co-Location on existing tower at 29688 I,orain Road, conclitioned upon showang a shielded light on the equipment shelter, wlaich was unanimously approved 7-0.
