Q: Tower on the church, can this be screened on the back, it is only three sided right now?
A: (Applicant) Yes, it is only three sided. We can see if it’s possible to make it three sided, there is air
handling equipment in the way that may have to be moved.
Comment: We feel that the back part of the tower will be visible and needs to be screened.
Q: Materials?
A: (Applicant) Earth tone materials that will complement the building. The main tower is similar to
stucco and still allows wireless signals.
