Department: Planning & Community Development
 

BACKGROUND

 

A Special Use Permit for a Wireless Antenna Tower. 

 

The Plan Commission recommended approval of a 75 foot high monopole antenna subject to the conditions listed below. Condition #3 states that “Prior to Village Board consideration, provide a letter from the Northwest Central Dispatch (NWCD) indicating that the proposed frequencies are compatible with Village and other public and private telecommunication frequencies.” The petitioner has submitted a majority of the information to NWCD, with the exception of certain requirements such as construction drawings and intermodal study. The petitioner was informed by the NWCD that it could take at least two weeks to obtain the letter.  Therefore, staff is recommending that the Village Board review this request at this time and require that the letter be submitted to the Village prior to permit issuance.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

A public hearing was held by the Plan Commission on July 22, 2015 where Commissioner Drost moved and Commissioner Sigalos seconded:

 

A motion to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees, approval of PC#15-003, a Special Use Permit for a wireless antenna tower. This approval is contingent upon compliance with the recommendation of the Plan Commission and the following recommendations detailed in the Staff Development Committee Report dated July 16, 2015:

 

1. The landscaping screening shall be installed completely on private property, subject to Village approval.

 

2. The number of platforms/carries allowed on the antenna will be limited to two.  The installation of additional platforms will require a Special Use Permit amendment.

 

3. Prior to Village Board consideration, provide a letter from the Northwest Central Dispatch indicating that the proposed frequencies are compatible with Village and other public and private telecommunication frequencies.

 

4. Prior to receiving a permit, submit any required State or Federal approvals.

 

5. The petitioner shall comply with all Federal, State, and Village codes, regulations, and policies.
