Minutes Planning Commissio. September 11, 1985 Further ordinances are modified all of the time to accommodate change. Chairman Wilson asked if the 14' dish used four or five years ago is similar to the 10' dish used today. Mr. Kane reviewed the geometrics of antennae and said size had very little to do with it. Commissioner Innes asked Mr. Kane to speak in layman's terms and stated in fact with new technology the size has been reduced. Mr. Swift indicated staff has no objections to changing the definition if inappropriate. Commissioner Innes stated that this ordinance is not meant to cover microwave towers. It is meant to cover satellite earth station and receptors, telecommunications and transmission of signals. Mr. Kane stated he found out about this ordinance from Jim Walker. Commissioner Michelotti discussed Item b(3) requiring a written statement explaining exact need of the satellite earth station and asked if it could be required. Commissioner Innes stated that the purpose of this is to require where possible centralized service. In five years there could really be a problem if this is not used in considering applications. A motion was made by Commissioner Innes seconded by Commissioner Lindsey, that Case RZ-85-14 be recommended for approval as recommended in the staff report, modifying the recommendations to include that definition of satellite earth station be made, revising Item 6 of the Residential portion of the ordinance such that screening is required for satellite earth stations that are visible to the adjacent properties or public roadways. They further asked for clarification of b)2 which clearly requires that dishes shall be first located on the roof and not be seen, or on the roof and screened and the last alternative would be next to the building; 4(b) is to be changed so that the last word in the item is roadway and not thoroughfares.
