Staff recommends approval with the condition that the applicant find a way to use a design that camouflages the pole.
Questions of Staff:
Commissioner Jeremiah Johnson inquired about the condition proposed and the zoning designation of the current towers, to which Mr. Altizer responded that only the landscaping and fencing had been addressed and that he cannot speak to the zoning designation of the other locations.
Mayor Hudson inquired about the medium residential zoning designation that surrounds to the west of the proposed location, to which Mr. Altizer responded that there is residential zoning to the north, west and south of the proposed location.
Applicant Questions of Staff:
None
Applicant Presentation:
Telsula Morgan and Tara Dewey, Tillman Infrastructure Inc, provided a presentation and answered questions on the proposed project at 1601 N 25th street.
Questions of the Applicant:
Commissioner Curtis Johnson inquired on the proposed drainage plan. Robert Rennebaum, Simmons & White Inc, discussed the site plan.
Commissioner Gaines inquired about the method used to notify the community of the October 18th community meeting, if the Lincoln Park Center staff were notified of the meetings topic and was the Lincoln Park staff solicited in the advertisement for the meeting. Ms. Morgan responded that a sign was placed on the proposed site, Lincoln Park Center staff was unaware of the meeting topic and not solicited to advertise it.
Commissioner Jeremiah Johnson inquired about the options available to make the proposed tower esthetically appealing, pole options, the future technology accommodations, similar infrastructure to the proposed project, the type of generator that will be used and regulation by the DEP. Ms. Dewey commented that the applicant is willing to paint the pole. Danielle Petti, Tillman Infrastructure responded that the galvanized structure is not the only option but recommends it due to its longevity, explained the type of pole may be considered due to the location and height, and that the generators are filed with the DEP. Patrick Keen, Radio Frequency Engineer, T-Mobile explained that the newest 5g equipment does not fit inside the enclosure, generates greater heat, and will not support the height or depth seen in the flagpole design. Mr. Keen elaborated that the most efficient model is the mono pole presented.
Commissioner Gaines inquired if the generator produces noise. Ms. Petti explained that the diesel generator runs briefly during a power outage and monthly testing.
Commissioner Jeremiah Johnson inquired about the impact to the existing landscaping and how that impact will be mitigated. Ms. Dewey entered into the record an updated landscaping plan with additional shade trees and will work with the owner of the adjacent land to add additional trees if requested.

City Attorney Tanya Earley reiterated that the City’s code contains standards of review.
There was deliberation regarding code standards of review.
Motion was made by Commissioner Jeremiah Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Curtis Johnson, Jr. to deny the Conditional Use for the following reasons,
1. The height of the proposed tower and antenna cannot be obscured to comply with staff’s recommendation.
2. The proximity of the antenna support structure in relation to surrounding residential structures and residential district boundaries is immediate, and therefore in conflict with the allowed uses of the surrounding zoning districts.
3. In light of the surrounding topography and the existing roadway connections, placing the tower at the proposed location could lead to drainage issues.
4. The proposed tower location is on the portion of the parcel that is most densely covered with vegetation; placing the tower at that location would require the removal of the vegetation and have a negative visual effect on surrounding properties.
