REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 8, 2001 these are co- location towers which are towers which support a number of users. These towers can support up to eight (8) users whereas in the past properties have been rezoned for use as a single source user. Mr. Charles Hayes, President, Charles S. Hayes, Inc., 814 Marietta Street, South Bend, Indiana, handed out to the Council a map showing the location of his towers located in St. Joseph County. He noted that they are attempting to build a grid of towers and the proposed tower fills in an important part of the grid. The other handout explained the purpose of co- location which is to get multiple users on towers. He noted that he has been very successful in accomplishing that in the area. and many of the towers already have five (5) and six (6) carriers on them. He noted that they could build a tower in any area zoned "C" Commercial but they chose to go this route because they believe it is a better location for the tower.
