Public Hearing opened
Associate Planner Kowalski gave staff report.
Mary Ann Miller representing metro PCS, presented the project to the Commission.
The Commission agreed that undergrounding at this site was unnecessary mainly due to the high water table.
They pointed out that in the past PG&E has not agreed to have trees and shrubs at the base of a tower and they are
allowing it for this application. They requested that a condition be included to add more vegetation at the base of
the tower and asked for a proper landscape plan to be submitted to staff. The Commission was also concerned
about the maintaining of the Redwood Fence around the tower.
Ms. Miller noted that the company that owns the antennas would be responsible for that.
Assistant City Attorney Johnson recommended adding a condition of approval regarding the wood fence and
maintaining it. The following language was proposed for approval "The fencing used to enclose the ground level
equipment shall consist of Redwood fencing consistent with the plans dated September 19,2001. Applicant shall
maintain and if necessary replace the fence so that it retains a neat appearance."
Public Hearing closed.
Motion D' An2:elo I Second Te2:lia with additional conditions with regard to landscaping, the language proposed
by Assistant City Attorney Johnson and with a submittal of a landscaping plan to the Planning Division.
Unanimously approved.
