Project: Long Pond Wireless Telecommunication Facility PDP160018 Project Description: This is a request for a Project Development Plan to build a telecommunications tower housed within a 2,500-sq. ft. wireless facility. This facility will house wireless telecommunications equipment to provide wireless service to the surrounding area. No wireless equipment is proposed at this time. The proposed tower would be 45 feet tall and disguised as a silo. This tower and facility will be used for structural support of up to three wireless providers. Each provider will install antennas and on -the -ground base station equipment. The site is located in the Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (LMN) zone district and, as such, the wireless telecommunication facility use is subject to the review and approval by the City Council. On January 16, 2018, City Council will consider second reading of an ordinance approving the Addition of Permitted Use for this project. Chair Schneider acknowledged that several last-minute communications were received on the date of the hearing. Several of the Board members were unable to review these documents in preparation for the hearing. Chair Schneider asked the Applicant representatives if they would like to continue with the hearing and strike those documents from the record or withdrawal the documents completely. Chair Schneider reviewed the items that were received. Planner Frickey addressed one document in question, saying it is a consolidated staff report to City Council from Council proceedings last December along with supporting documents. Chair Schneider confirmed that the items had been received by Gretchen Schiager, Staff Liaison to the Board. After much discussion and advice from counsel, the Applicant representative agreed to continue the item to the February hearing in order to retain all documents submitted as part of the official record. Member Carpenter moved that the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board continue the Long Pond Wireless Telecommunications Facility PDP160018 to a date certain of February 15, 2018; Member Rollins seconded the motion. Chair Schneider asked whether discussion was required' Assistant City Attorney. Yatabe stated that normally on a continuance you would take public comment but only as to the continuance and not the substance of the application. Public comment should consist of someone commenting or opposing the continuance. Chair Schneider asking if anyone wanted to address the board about the continuance, none noted. Vote: 5.0 Public Input: Debbie Cory lives across the street from the proposed tower location. She feels that the applicant is not prepared, adding that due diligence has not been accomplished. She cited continuous late submittals and feels that the Applicant isn't following the rules of proposal. Nancy Easton agrees, saying that the last-minute tactics are inappropriate. She supports the Board's motion to continue this project and asked if there was any time limit, the answer supplied indicated there was none.
