Chief Planner Sparks noted that the Commission can consider hearing the item.
* Commissioner Teglia anived at 7:45 p.m.
Jay Wallace, Sanger & Olson representing Cellular One, noted that there are no substantive changes in the
project. He added that the only changes that they are proposing are the changes in the proposed conditions of
approval. He noted that Cellular One has removed the 20 foot mono-pole, and replaced it with three 8 foot tall
antennas attached to the chain link fence on the site. He noted that Cellular One has also provided landscape
screening and are willing to provide more. He noted that they were asked to put the equipment cabinet
underground and they have put the cabinet in the back of the site behind a 10 foot reservoir. He noted that the
materials that the Commission had received are the photo simulations that show what the applicant was
proposing. He noted that the site is not visible and thought that there is no aesthetic or planning purpose to having
the cabinet underground. He added that they retmned to the Design Review Board, and they had no comments.
He noted that he would like to change the following Conditions of Approval:
· #4 - He thought that they did not need to comply with the conditions for the Nextel use permit and they should
not be responsible for the applicant not complying with their conditions.
· #2 - Description should be changed to reflect Cellular One's project
. #5 - Cleaned up a typo.
· #6 - He noted that he deleted the words "prior to the issuance of any permit", because he thought that the
underground equipment cabinet should not be required.
· #7 - He deleted the reference with regard to having a geotechnical report because he hopes that they will not be
required to underground the equipment cabinet.
. #13 - He thought that they should not be required to install a stop sign because it was a condition to another
project and there can only be one stop sign.
He added that he had a letter from California Water Company and they would like that the equipment cabinet not
be underground because of reservoir concelns.
Public Hearing closed.
Commissioner Romero noted that he felt uncomfortable with going forward with the application and would like
to give staff the opp0l1unity to review the changes in the document.
Motion Romero / Second Honan to continue the item to March 16th. Unanimously continued.
Commissioner Teglia mentioned that the application has improved and noted that staff should review the Use
Permit for Nextel to see if they have fully complied with their conditions.
