developed in accordance to telecommunication laws it was recommended that schools be placed within the overlay district. He is not aware of any changes to the federal law pertaining to the overlay district or any additional findings or trends. Mr. Lasko suggested that there were schools, which abut I-480 that he questions if in fact the commission will be dealing with eventually. He questioned if the board of education contemplated placing all their property within the overlay district. Mr. O'Malley suggested that the schools might be addressing their needs one parcel at a time. Mr. Itichards on behalf of Sprint Comm reviewed that the high school has a need for a new light pole on the football field. Sprint would replace the one wooden pole with a monopole and would support the light fixture in addition to the antenna. Mr. Koeth questioned how tall the pole would be and if more than one light pole would be replaced. Mr. Richards indicated that the one monopole would be 120 feet tall and the school would receive revenues for the monopole. The reason Sprint chose this parcel is that it allows for the maximum setback to residents as it will be over 300 feet from the westerly property line. Mr. Conway suggested that if Planning Commission wanted to see all the school property within the overlay district they could address it in the Master Plan review. R.

Mr. Koeth reviewed that he was invited to take part in the interviewing of a new City Planner. Last week he participated in interviewing two very good candidates.

The Planning Commission will welcome who ever is hired with open arms. Mr. Koeth voiced that each of the commissioners received a copy of Mr. Hreha's letter. While Mr. Hreha was on Planning Commission he did a very good job and was very insightful in situations. The Planning Commission is very sorry he is leaving, but his time was well spent while he served on the commission. Mrs. Hoff-Smith questioned if the Mayor was talking to people for appointments. Mr. Koeth indicated that he knew the Mayor was in fact speaking to a few individuals and that Mr. Yager from the Architectural Review Board may be joining their board. Therefore, Planning Commission should have a full commission within the next few months. 1VIr. Koeth reviewed that Planning Commission members received applications for the 15t" annual Planning and Zoning workshop presented by the Ohio Planning Conference. He would like to see if the city would pay to send the Planning Commission members to the conference. Mrs. Rote voiced that the commission did not have the funds in their budget to attend. Mr. Koeth suggested that the Planning Commissioners would really benefit from the workshop. Mr. Koeth voiced that once the Planner is hired the commission needs to aggressively start working on the master plan following the outline the County provided the city.
