CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING
Applicant:
Location:
Request:
Six Star Cablevision
1302 Service Road
To install a 60 foot antenna and earth station discs
and a 10 x 20 foot equipment building.
Moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Kennedy that the hearing be
reopened.
Mr. Saltarelli questioned if the Board of Education had approved
this property transaction with Six Star. Mr. Brotemarkle
explained that Lawrence Sutherland had signed for the permission
of the property owner for the public hearing but the Board would
not take up the matter until the City had approved the proposal.
Mr. Rourke, City Attorney, co,,m)~ented that it could be handled
either way because the property transaction had not been
completed. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to hear the
public comments and make a final decision when the property owner
(School Board) forms an agreement with Six Star.
Chairman Sharp opened the public hearing.
Martin O'Malle~, 14681Charloma Drive, spoke against the project.
A discussion followed regarding the signatures on the application
for public hearing which had been submitted by Six Star.
Bob Patty, Six Star Cablevtston, 205 W. First Street, informed the
Council that he had canvassed the neighbors in the Carfax area and
revealed the results of his study. The biggest concern was
appearance and Mr. Patty showed how they would improve the site.
Mr. Patty also showed a slide presentaion of what the site looks
like at present and how they intend to improve it.
In response to a Council question regarding the height of the
antenna, Mr. Patty answered that the 60 feet was needed in order
to connect to the LaHabra site and to the Baldwin Hills Computer
Center. Mr. Patty further informed that they are still looking at
other sites and do not have a sealed agreement.
Mr. Jim Quinn, Charloma Drive, spoke against this proposal stating
that it would have negative impact on their property values and
might be an attractive nuisance.
The public hearing was closed at 8:49 p.m.
After some discussion pertaining to the location of the site it
was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Kennedy to deny this
appl i cati on.
