4. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Coffee Cubby - Lori Jacobson
Conditional Use Permit
Vice-Chair Budde opened the public hearing to consider the Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) for the Coffee Cubby at 7:09 PM.
The Applicant had submitted a letter asking for an extension of time due to a lack of
information available. Vice-Chair Budde continued the public hearing to December
11, 2001 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
b) Towne Lakes - Contractor Property Developers
PUD Amendment
Vice-Chair Budde opened the public hearing to consider the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Amendment at 7: 11 PM.
Vice-Chair Budde turned it over to City Planner Sherman to go over the background.
City Planner Sherman informed the Commission that the Contractor Property
Developers Company (CPDC) has submitted an application for site plan and amended
PUD. The request is being made to allow the development of a utility building at the
Towne Lakes site to house fiber optic equipment. The site plan submittal allows
review of the proposed building and related improvement and the PUD amendment is
to allow the building on the lot where the pool and related building will be built.
Jay Librash, Vice-President at CDCP was present to answer any technical questions
or concerns the Commission members, staff and residents may have.
Vice-Chair Budde mentioned that the plans show a tower of 35' and the antenna
extension. He wanted some clarification on how tall the tower was going to be.
Jay explained the tower is 30' tall with a 5' extension on top of that.
There was a question as to what the basic use of the antenna will be - is it for video
only or will it be for cellular use in the future?
The antenna would be for video use only - it would not be for cellular use or leased
out in the future. CDCP is basically making it into a TV Station.
It will be a company FTTH that will own it. They will be on the City Council agenda
to discuss the Franchise of the ownership.
A question as to who the owner would be came up.

It will be the homeowners association that will own the lot that the building and
antenna will reside on.
It will be a competitive video access. They (the homeowners) will have the option to
choose cable TV plan they want.
Commission members were concerned with how big this video equipment was. The
building seemed rather small to house the equipment.
Fiber optics are rather small- some pieces are about as small as a VCR or DVD
player.
Will the size ofthe structure grow as the development fills up and is completed?
CDCP assured the Commission that the size of the structure will not grow. Because
of the fiber optics they could fit a number of them in the building.
Vice-Chair Budde asked ifthere was anyone from the public to speak on this subject.
There was no one in the audience.
Vice-Chair Budde closed the public hearing at 7:33 p.m.
Klecker made a motion to approve the PUD with the staff recommendations. (An
amendment to the PUD agreement shall be drafted by the City Attorney for the City
Council consideration. The amount of the exterior equipment and the location of the
equipment shall be identified on the site plan and is subject to the review and
approval of the City Planner. Fay seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion
carnes.
