Planning and Zoning Board Minutes April 20, 2000 Page 2 of 13 Project: #11-97G French Field/Rocky Mountain High School, Wireless Telecommunication Equipment — Project Development Plan Project Description: Request to mount wireless telecommunications equipment as a co -location on an existing ballfield light fixture at French Field, located on the grounds of Rocky Mountain High School. Recommendation: Approval Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence: Member Gavaldon asked Troy Jones to address the issue of the mounting equipment being placed on the light pole prior to approval. Troy Jones, Current Planning, deferred to the applicant for an explanation of the difference between the mounting equipment and the actual equipment. Member Gavaldon commented that it was important to follow the appropriate process for development. Troy Jones commented that the applicant had tried to get a permit to build the pole but because the pole was on school property, the City had no jurisdiction to regulate the development through a permit. Justin Robinson, Nextel Communications, apologized for the mistake made by the contractors and explained the equipment. Public Comment: None Discussion: Member Colton had a question about the difference between the school district and the City for regulation of the project. Ted Shepard, Current Planning, stated that it was an issue of land use. A light pole is necessary for the function of the athletic field, but the telecommunications equipment was not. The District regulates the projects necessary for the functioning of the school. The City would regulate the non -necessary functions.
