Pfeifer attached Bill which proposes new zoning regulations for Wireless <br />Second District Telecommunications Facilities. You will recall that our committee received a <br />Roland Kelly presentation by the Area Plan Staff last fall addressing the need for such <br />Third District regulations. <br />Karl King The proposed regulations have been reviewed by the Steering Committee <br />Fourth District which is reviewing the entire zoning ordinance. Among other things the <br />David Varner ordinance isdesignedtoestablishreasonableregulationswhichbalancetheneed <br />Fifth District for service with protecting the community from visual clutter. New <br />telecommunication towers would be prohibited from locating within 500 feet <br />Ervin Kuspa of a residential district unless the applicant can demonstrate that there are no <br />Sixth District other locations available to provide service. The ordinance would establish <br />development standards addressing maximum height, type, security fencing and <br />Sean Coleman guy anchors. It would prohibit signs or lights on such towers unless they are <br />At Large <br />required by the Federal Communications Commission. <br />Al "Buddy" Kirsits <br />At Large I am asking that this ordinance be sent to the Zoning and Annexation <br />Karen L. White Committee upon filing so that we may discuss the need to have it initiated by <br />At Large the Common Council. I look forward to discussing this with you.
