UNIT 4. PUBLIC PROTECTION AND
UTILITY FACILITIES, Use Conditions, located 17926 E. 101st St.
Presentation:
Audrey
Blank,
522 Colcord Dr., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, representing Sprint PCS submitted a
packet of information to the Board (Exhibit E-1). She reviewed the eleven factors
the Board must consider for a communications tower and gave the information
regarding this tower, as it was available in the agenda packet. She stated the tower would provide
better services to the customers in this area. The proposed tower would be a galvanized
monopole-type tower, 190 plus the height of the foundation relief, antenna
mounting structures and lightning rod.
It meets the 110% requirement.
The nearest residential structure would be 767.49 to the north, which is
the property owners residence.
The primary use of the parent tract and surrounding tracts is
agricultural. The area is zoned
RE. The topography consists of
relatively flat terrain gradually sloping upward toward the northwest. There is heavy tree cover to the east,
southeast, and south.
Mr.
Alberty called a brief recess at 2:35 p.m. and called the meeting to order again
at 2:47 p.m.
Ms.
Blank continued her presentation:
The
remainder of the area is pastureland.
The compound would be 38 x 38, fenced, and contain three
refrigerator-sized cabinets. There
will be room for two additional telecommunications carriers to collocate. The ground equipment would not be
visible from the street. There is a
228 access easement, and telephone and electric easements. The nearest existing tower for
collocation purposes is 1.8 miles to the east, well outside the intended service
area of this site.
Interested
Parties:
Dick
Slemaker,
18010 E. 101st St. S., Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, submitted information
(Exhibits E-2 and E-4) to the Board.
He stated that he and the surrounding neighbors are opposed to the
tower. He added that it would be
very visible to the surrounding properties. He referred to the meeting of the Broken
Arrow City Council on September 17, 2002 where they annexed this area into the
city limits. He informed the Board
that the City of Broken Arrow has suggested two other locations for the
tower. He added that the City of
Broken Arrow has not approved this tower site.
Peggy
Slemaker,
18010 E. 101st St. S., stated this tower would be injurious to the
surrounding properties, decreasing the value of their properties, and would have
a devastating visual impact on the area.
She submitted photographs (Exhibit E-3) to the Board. She mentioned that the new ordinance for
annexing this area would be published in the paper on September 19, 2002.
Russell
Peterson,
107 W. Commercial, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, stated he represented Bob Freese, a
property owner in the southwest quadrant, adjoining the subject property. Mr. Freese was prepared to sell his
property and was informed of the value of his property, but that it would
decrease to approximately one-half the value if the tower were placed on this
site.
Bob
Freese,
Rt. 2, Wagoner, Oklahoma, repeated the same concerns already stated, plus
concern that red flashing lights would be placed on the tower.
Applicants
Rebuttal:
Ms.
Blank responded there are no lights proposed for the tower, as it is less than
200 in height. She reminded the
Board that devaluation of property is speculative and not a valid
objection. She added that studies
have shown there is not a substantial impact on property value. Ms. Blank pointed out that valuation of
property and visual impact are not elements for the Boards consideration.
Comments and
Questions:
Mr.
Walker asked if they considered the alternate sites suggested to them.
Michael
Thompson,
1341 W. Mockingbird Lane, Ste. 1200E, Dallas, Texas, stated he is a Real Estate
Specialist for Sprint PCS. He
stated they have met with the City of Broken Arrow Planning Staff in
confidential discussions, regarding several possible site locations. He informed the Board they have gone
through about six different sites in the area. He was concerned that confidential
proprietary information was given out without their permission. The application is a result of six
months of diligent search and study of all the elements involved to find the
best site to meet the standards of customer service. The airspace analysis confirmed there is
no lighting or marking requirement for the tower.
During a Board review Mr. Hutson noted the applicant has found a piece of
property that fits all of the County requirements in Sections 420 and 1204, and
he found no reason to deny it.
