CONSIDER APPROVAL OF APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE FOR THE
ERRECTION OF A 320 FOOT TOWER_AT LOT_13, BLOCK 31,__RAILROAD
ADDN_, 200SOUTH FIRST ST. : Mr. Harris as Code
Enforcement Officer Roy ra_res to i a.f.e the City
prescntat• i�Win. Mr. F wires said c :e to the location of the
lot +te believed its ':he intention of the applicant to build
on t:-:e alley side. This property has been recently zoned
Retail and the ad.;acE r.t properties at least on two sides are
Residential , one side possibly Retail or B-1 . The intensity
of the area is h_chiy Residential. And the tower is three
time the regulated permitted he:rht. Staff is opposed. Six
letters were returned two in favor and four opposed.
Mr. Crum said it has come to his attention that fear of T. V.
interference was a concern. Nothing could be further frc:r.1
the truth. I have to two repeaters on St. Paul tower next
to there rec i ev i ng towers they run their equipment and we
run curs with no interference at all. The FCC would not
allow it. The reason I want to do this is I have five
repeators and my lease space is $800. 00 a month and the cart
control spectrum is getting crowded if I had my own tower I
cold control my own destiny. The tower is stressed for 100
MPH winds, with 16 ft. depth with dell bottoms. I never
heard of a tower going down. It has to be improved by the
FCC also. I plan to put strobe lights on the tower which
will run night and day. An alternate would be to by some
land somewhere. I feel kind like the jury has already been
a�_+ and made its decision before I could present my case.
Mr. Harris said no. My cor,cerr, safety : ` it falls in a
:-esident ia. area. I ' m approach in:: , is with an open mine. We
nave heard from the City, ar,c ,ant ar,y.:ne from the
Public like to say anything ?
My name is Curtis Watson, I own t e lots on Second St. and
i ' v ve did some safety factor rep -ch which indicates that
the tower would decrease property 1u_1es. Also the
appearance in the center of the C Safety factor is not
a prime factor although it is a c err;. Tower in Garland
KRLD was cc;nstructea never to fai Ale it cid fall
for-tunatly they hat enough proper• that no -one was hurt.
Mr. Crum said that this company w d not construct the
tower or sell it until they tell Am what level they are
going to put it at. Mr. Faires a if a soil test for
bea"ing rock was made. Mr. Crum d yes 12 to 14 feet.
deep. M . Faires said he knew of Averai that have got clay
as low as E5 ft. and the water toy, hac to co to 92 ft.
before the hit rock. Do: you have , Engineering drilling
report? Mr- . Crum has not done to;. Auch research but
whatever- we have to do we will do Mr. Lucwig wants to
know if any soil test were done? Faires said no. Mr.
Harris ask if the Board had any me questions. Mr. Ludwig
said safe-;.y was a primary concern :t we dont have reports
from an engineer or soil test the are si_ttstant ial to base
a judgement. Mr. Blakey said he h, no doubt that an
engineer ..could be able to put towe in the ground. Mr.
Harris said he would have like to c,'k at an Engineer' s
report to without that it' s hard t' make a decision. Mr
Crum said he could furnish rec; nr: er ed data. Mr. Harris ask
if he had any data? His reply was Mr. Harris ask if
the Board was ready to make a mot i - :.
Marvin Blakey made a motion to der:; this variance because of
appearance, decrease in property vi _te and _,nprover, safety
factor. Cleo Adams second i t. Al were in favor.
APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE FOR ENCROUCHMENT ON FRONT
BUILDING LINE AT LOT 11,_ BLOCK A,_ OaKS IV, 107 LIBERTY DR. :
Mr. Roddy' s workman instead of raising the end of their
equipment to a point where they wog..d be reading
horizontally for- some reason known to them the measured from
ground level up to ground level. I must go on record as
being opposed but not violently opposed.
Mr. Reddy said he presumed that what occured didn' t show up
till the final survey. It needs to be corrected ed now instead
of 15 years down the line, I don' t think its noticable but
its costly to change and I don' t beleive there are any
safety problems. Mr. Faires said he lives one house down
from the structure and watched the house while under
construct ion it is not not icable from my house. Mr. Harris
ask if the house was on a hill? Mr. Reddy replied yes.
