cabinets directly under the tower, this motion is based on the approval of 98-130 a.nd 98-131 with the inclusion of a letter froin and he is going to use CEI, but the owner of the property stating a fence will or will not be allowed, and if it is not allowed it is to state the reasons why. Then the developer wil] have to come back with an alternate proposal. Mr. Dubelko indicated that goes without saying that motion also includes in addition to the passing of those two ordina.nces the developer compiling with all provisions of the two ordinances. In the framing of the motion Ms. Fox aslced if she would've come after the ordinance was passed would slie had to have come before the board. Mr. Tallon suggested yes because you would have to liave a fence period. The motion was seconded by Mr. Asseff, and unanimously approved. 1Vlotion Cai•ried. IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS; No items. V. COMMUNICATIONS: A) Ordinance No. 98-130; New chapter for Wireless Telecommunications facilities regulations and Wireless telecommunication facilities overlay (WTFO) district. Mr. Tallon aslced Mr. Dubellco to review ordinance 98-130. 1VIr. Dubellco indicated the ordinance creates a new chapi:er in the zoning code to provide for the locations of wireless communications facilities. Essentially these facilities are permitted as a matter of rights in certain areas and one of those areas are easements or parcels for electric or high tension power lines, lilce we had here tonight. The other area is interstate rights of ways. Proposals in those two areas are permitted as a matter of rights. Otherwise these facilities ai•e permitted with conditional use permits within the overlay districts, then you get into the other ordinance 98- 131 which is going to ainend the zoning map of the city to provide for these overlay districts, (little circles) in different areas over the existing zoning districts in the City. That is the basic frame work. The rest of 98-130 goes into regulating the standards and regLilations that govern the heights, size and types of materials that are required for these types of towers or antennas.

Were the City would want to permit these facilities, other than along interstates, and other than neai- these high tension lines such as in retail and industrial oi- mixed use districts that you believe tlzese facilities should be located. Mr. Dubelko reviewed the history of the preparation of the ordinances. Mr. Dubellco indicated Mr. Conway, Mr. Jenkins the safety director, himself, and Mr. Hunt who is a telecommunications attorney that the City has hired to assist in the preparation of this legislation, had several meetings and loolced at different locations in the City which they felt these overlay districts should exist. There is nothing in writing as to were they should go, but there were thoughts that the overlay districts should be in the industrial park area which would be an ideal location, Springvale Golf course would be a location, and there were some discussion as to Great Northern Mall. Essentially they were tiying to find a.reas in the City in which the towers could be distanced from residences. Mr. Dubellco aslced Mr. Conway if he had anything to add. Mr. Conway indicated the numbering system some how got mixed up as 9
