The Planning <br />Commission made no changes to the recommendation outlined in the attached staff report <br />(Exhibit A). <br />DISCUSSION <br />Virtual Site Walk, representing SBA Communications, is proposing to renew the entitlements of <br />an existing 60 -foot high wireless communications facility disguised as a pine tree. This facility is <br />intended to provide cellular coverage and call capacity in this area of the City. To give the facility <br />the appearance of a natural tree and to blend with the existing site characteristics, the tower was <br />designed to incorporate fronds that extend eight feet above the top of the panel antennas. <br />Equipment for the wireless facility will continue to be contained within an enclosure that <br />measures approximately 20 feet by 11 feet for a total of 220 square feet. Furthermore, the <br />equipment enclosure and mono -pine are enclosed by a six-foot high metal fence and are located <br />at the rear (southwest corner) of the property. No new or additional antennas or equipment are <br />being installed at this time. As part of this application, the applicant will replace some of the pine <br />tree branches that have deteriorated and faded over the years. This will refresh the site and <br />extend the life of the mono -pine for another 10 years. Full-sized site plans are available for <br />public viewing in the Clerk of the Council Office. <br />31 B-1 <br />
