USE PERMIT 81-24 Applicant: Location: Request: Six Star Cablevision 1302 Service Road Install 60 foot antenna and earth station discs and a 10 x 20 foot equipment building. Mike Brotemarkle, Community Development Director, gave the staff report and s,,m~arized that they want to exceed the 50 ft. height limitation that is allowed in a Planned Industrial District for a radio tower by 10 ft. Property owners within .300 ft. of the site, which included 3 or 4 homes, an apartment and the School District, were notified by mail. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:45 p.m. Robert Patty, General Manager for Six Star Cablevision, explained that it was necessary to have a site in Tustin. Their engineers have focused on design and will work with staff to achieve an aesthetic site. The discs are 7 meters or 20'+ height on earth stations. The discs are adjustable but will be placed in a stationary position. The microwave disc at the top of the antenna is 6 to 8 feet in diameter. In response to Mr. Edgar's suggestion, Mr. Patty said they would explore the possibility of putting the earth station discs below ground level but drainage may be a problem. There is no radiation problem with this equipment. The antenna and discs do not have to be on the same site but it would be preferable. The following spoke in opposition to the Use Permit because they felt this would be an attractive nt%isance and cause their property to depreciate. Martin O'Malley, 14681 Charloma Dr. J. W. Quinn, 14661 Charloma Richard Kramer, 14792 Carfax Mr. O'Malley presented a petition with approximately 80 signatures in · opposition to this Use Permit. Gloria Steinmeyer, 17332 Amaganset Way, questioned the integrity of the company because they ~maged trees and a coral pot on her property while putting cable on utility poles and the matter has not been settled to her satisfaction. Mr. Patty admitted that there was damage but said they could not put a price on the loss of shade. They are willing to replace the coral pot. Minutes of the Planning Agency July 20, 1981 Page Three It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to deny Use Permit 81-24. Mr. Edgar stated that he understood the legality of notifying all property owners within 300 feet but thought we should have notified the entire tract. Mr. Saltarelli co~uented that the arguments against the Use Permit are primarily e~otional and not factual. He suggested that Six Star should explore alternatives that would lessen the impact on the neighborhood such as the possibility of excavating for the discs, putting in a tall fence and buffering it, and perhaps putting the antenna on top of a tall build- ing at another location. A substitute motion was made by Hoesterey, sec- onded by Saltarelli, to continue this Public Hearing in a closed mode to the next m~eting so that all alternatives can be explored. Mrs. Kennedy opposed this site because it is School District property with residential on two sides. She prefers this equipment to be out frc~ the residential area of t_he City. She was opposed to helping private industry find a site. Mr. Edgar opposed the substitute motion because he felt continuation implied a co-~tment to this particular site. Substitute motion carried 3-2, Edgar and Kennedy oDDosed. Mrs. Kennedy asked that the public be informed that this hearing is con- tinued. She will be on vacation for the next meeting which will affect the vote on the issue. It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, that because of the complexity of this issue and to give Six Star time to explore alternatives, this be continued to August I7 instead of August 3. Mr. Saltarelli favored the two week extension because there doesn't seem to be a great deal of sympathy to this site location unless major modifi- cations can be made and to prolong the residents' concern about the site and delaying the applicant in finding a new site is not best. Mr. Patty, representative for the applicant, favored the two-week period. The motion failed 1-4, Edgar, Hoestere¥, Saltarelli and Shard opDosed. It was m~ved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterey, to adjourn at 9:16 p.m. to the next regular meeting on August 3, 1981. Carried 5-0. JAMES B. SHARP, Chairman MARY E. WYNN, City Clerk
