G existing site to accomplish what you want. Mr. Richards suggested they could not have antennas that close to each other as it degrades what they are doing and degrades the existing sites. Mr. Hreha coinmented that this issue is going round and round and getting nowhere. Mr. Rymarczyk reviewed that besides the use permit there will be 4 variances required by the applicants. Mr. Tallon asked for questions from the audience. Mr. Dubelko wanted to clear a misstatement, Sprint has never been turned down for a monopole by North Olmsted it was Nextell and this is Sprints first submittal for a monopole in North Olmsted. Sprint constructed tllese four sites in 1998 and the Clague monopole has been in place since early 1997. Therefore, Sprint could have attempted to co-locate on that pole in 1997 and expanded froin there. Councilwoman president, Mrs. Saringer requested that the clerk read the names of the resident's notified. The clerk read aloud the names of the properiy owners that where notified. R. Tallon motioned for McCornuck Place, Sprintcom, Inc. of 23300Lorain Road their proposal, which consists of a 120-foot telecorrununication monopole with a 10' X 11' base station equipment. Move to deny the use variance based upon the fact that the City of North Olmsted has in place a well thought, well engineered telecommunications district. This district allows the use of North Olmsted properties, which adequately meet the needs of all the telecoinmunication companies. Therefore, the commission feels there is no need for any poles outside the assigned districts. The motion was seconded by R. Koeth and unanimously approved. Use pei•mit denied. 6. CEI/First Energv Substation; 31131 Lorain Road: Proposal consists of a lugh-tension tower (telecommunications collocation) within the existing substation. Chairman Tallon called all interested parties forward to review the proposal. Mr. Palmer, came forward to review the proposal on behalf of CEI. Mr. Palmer indicated that their request is a co- location on the existing CEI towers. There will be an 8-inch conduit ran through the existing tower to the top where the antennas will be placed. At the bottom of the towers the radio equipment will be housed in a metal box tlie size of a small refrigerator. Under the North Olmsted zoning code, it is a pennitted use to place telecommunication antennas on an existing high-tension tower. He has worked closely with the building department to make sure the submittal complies with the zoiung code. They will not require any variances. This request was approved once with the contingency that CEI allow a fence to be placed around the equipment boxes. CEI will allow the fence therefore a variance will not be needed. They currently have an antenna on the Westberry apartments, and the turnpike and I-480. Tiie anteruias will have little impact to the site and they will be placing 10 pine trees around the substation. Mr. Tallon asked if there was any questions from the audience. Mr. Darrel and Jeffery Shurman brothers who are neighbors came forward to review the plans of where the antennas would be placed. R.
