Facilities
Mayor Pro Tem Herfert inquired about the reason for shortening
the distance fr m 1/z mile to % mile between towers.
Acting Planning Director Jeff Anderson responded that
while the code requires a %2 mile separation the Planning
Commission had approved numerous variances reducing the
distance betw en towers and therefore, they decided to set the
smaller distance as a standard.
Mayor Pro Tern Herfert expressed concerns that residents
might feel the change from Yz mile to 1/ mile. may appear to give a
blanket policN that anything within a 1/ mile will always be
approved and suggested that a variance might be a better way to
go.
Motion Motion by Herfert and seconded by Lane to bring back the code
amendment changing it back to the 1/2 mile requirement between
cell towers.
Councilmember Touhey returned to the dais at 7:40
carried by 3 0 (Touhey did not participate).
