B
A
A
Well,
it's
5
30..
We
will
call
the
meeting
of
the
Planning
and
Zoning
commission
to
order
today,
May
the
16th
2023.,
a
roll
call.
We
see
that
everyone
is
present,
except
for
Nate
Treadaway.
A
The
approval
of
the
agenda-
everyone,
we
have
two
items
on
the
agenda.
D
A
A
Minutes
from
the
previous
meeting
April
the
18th
2023,
everybody
had
a
chance
to
read
the
minutes.
Any
corrections
additions
entertain
a
motion
to
approve.
A
And
a
second
to
approve
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
aye
all
opposed
Mr
code
officer.
B
Report
nothing
to
report
to
the
appointment
commission
this
evening,
Mr
chairman,
okay,.
A
Old
business
is
there
any
old
business
to
come
before
the
commission?
Eric
gnome
will
go
to
new
business
under
new
business
item
number.
One
is
a
request
for
a
rezone
from
B2
slash
PRD
to
r1a
at
two
I'm,
sorry
at
414,
Davis,
Street,
Mr,
God
officer.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman,
the
subject
property.
That's
before
you
for
this
reason
request.
This
property
is
currently
zoned.
I
actually
have
that
reasoning
wrong
on
there.
It's
actually
B2
and
PRD
is
what
he's
currently
zoned
now
he's
asking
to
reason
this
property
to
r1a,
and
the
purpose
is
to
develop
these
this
property
into
two
single-family
Lots.
They
will
be
lots
that
qualify
for
the
benefits
of
being
inside
the
infill
overlay
District,
so
these
Lots
will
be
roughly
5
000
square
feet
in
size.
Some
of
these
are
well.
B
Both
of
these
will
be
a
little
bit
over
that
they're,
both
50
feet
in
width,
and
you
can
see
that
they'll.
If
you
can
tell
by
looking
at
this
drawing
Davis
Street
being
here
on
the
north
side
of
the
drawing
the
houses,
will
be
oriented
with
the
fronts
facing
Davis
Street
and
they'll
be
accessed
from
a
shared
driveway
off
of
bell
alley
to
parking
paths
behind
the
home
themselves.
B
It's
a
pretty
straightforward
reason:
request
complies
with
all
of
our
goals
and
rules
for
the
infill
overlay
district,
and
the
recommendation
is
approval,
as
submitted
without
conditions.
That's
all
I
have
Mr
chairman
thanks.
Sir
mm-hmm.
B
C
Thank
you
looks
like
Brad,
already
presented
a
good
bit
of
what
I
had
to
present,
but
this
was
kind
of
to
show
the
areas
around
the
property
that
I'm
asking
to
rezone
have
already
been
one's
in
Orange
are
already
been
done
and
in
construction.
C
These
are
the
three
homes
that
I've
already
done
on
this
on
Bell
Street,
and
then
this
is
the
area
that
I'm
trying
to
get
rezoned
and
then
he
showed
you
basically
the
layout
of
it,
but
that's
essentially
there
and
then,
as
far
as
the
homes,
that
we're
planning
on
building
I
got
a
picture
of
the
existing
condition
from
the
straight
and
then
a
few
homes
that
I
did
on
Bell,
Street
and
also
down
the
road
on
Davis
Street.
So.
B
B
Mr,
chairman
may
ask
the
applicant
a
question:
please
I'm
gonna
ask
the
applicant:
do
you
want
to
add
these
to
the
file
since
you
didn't
have
photographs
originally
some
messages,
I
can
sure.
Okay
and
if
you
don't
mind
the
ones
you
have
today,
I'll
add
to
the
file
itself.
That's
okay!
Is
that
all
right
sure,
okay.
A
A
Hearing
none
now
ask
for
a
motion.
Recommendation
is
to
approve
without
conditions.
D
B
Thank
you
Mr
chairman.
The
subject:
property
is
currently
being
used
for
a
wholesale
and
Retail
Sandy
Stone
hauling
service
there
in
town,
formerly
a
concrete
mixing
plant
there
a
number
of
years
ago
it's
currently
zoned
M1,
and
the
request
before
you
for
conditional
use
at
this
property
is
for
our
telecommunications
Tower
and
with
underlying
zoning
of
M1
telecommunication
towers,
are
only
allowed
as
conditional
leases
in
that
district
and
the
B3
District
in
the
city
itself,
and
if
you
can
tell
on
the
plan
behind
you,
there's
a
small
compound
draw
on
there.
B
I'm
gonna
highlight
that
for
you
just
so,
you
can
see
that
so
proposed
is
a
small
telecommunications,
Tower
Compound
on
the
south
portion
of
this
property.
It's
currently
not
being
used
by
the
by
the
operation.
I
described
it's
currently
on
the
site
now
they're
proposing
to
place
a
telecommunication
Tower
there,
it's
going
to
be
a
monopole,
a
typical
monopole,
galvanized
metal
telecommunication
telecommunication
tower
that
you
see
pretty
much
everywhere
in
the
U.S.
This
one
is
going
to
be
150
feet,
tall
they're,
proposing
to
have
four
co-locatable
carriers
on
the
tower
itself.
B
It's
a
pretty
straightforward,
Tower
design
that
you
see
around,
so
they
are
proposing
a
modest
compound
that
would
include
the
carrier
service
equipment
at
the
base
of
the
Tower
and
they're
proposing
to
fence
that
in
and
and
they
include
some
like
red
maple
plantings
around
that
that's
all
in
compliance
with
your
ordinance
for
those
features
and
they're
proposing
to
access
this
directly
off
Victory
Drive.
If
you
remember
the
last
drawing
you
kind
of,
can
see
it
here
to
the
left.
They're
gonna
come
straight
off,
Victory
Drive
into
this
Tower
compound.
B
So
I
guess
one
of
the
biggest
features
of
your
ordinance
is
that
you
are
required
to
place
these
towers.
They
have
to
have
a
setback
from
residences
and
residential
structures,
a
minimum
height
of
the
tower
itself.
Basically,
this
one
being
150
feet
tall,
the
nearest
Residence
is
150
feet
away
and
so
they've
obviously
strategically
selected
that
location
for
that
purpose
to
meet
our
requirements
and
the
recommendation
for
the
request
is
approval
with
three
conditions:
they're
lengthy
I'm,
happy
to
read
those
if
you
would
like
Mr
chairman.
B
You
all
right,
so
the
first
condition
is
the
proposed
telecommunication.
Tower
should
not
be
taller
and
high
than
described
in
the
condition
of
use
application
and
supporting
documents.
The
developer
shall
submit
a
structural
Tower
analysis
with
the
building
permit
application.
B
The
analysis
shall
be
signed
and
sealed
by
a
professional
structural
engineer
licensed
in
the
state
of
Georgia.
The
analysis
shall
include
a
structural
analysis,
drawings
calculations
and
supporting
documentation
that
includes
the
following:
a
tower
height
and
design,
including
technical
engineering
and
other
pertinent
factors
governing
selection
of
the
proposed
design.
A
cross-section
of
the
tower
shall
be
included.
B
These
are
relatively
standard
requirements
across
many
jurisdictions
in
the
state
of
Georgia.
This
is
this
is
a
requirement,
basically,
that
the
code
officer
is
asking
of
the
applicant
when
they
are
going
through
their
building
permit
to
provide
these
this
information,
it's
in
the
first
requirement
for
telecommunication
Tower
and
our
ordinance.
It
doesn't
specify
what
it
is,
but
I've
specified
what
the
actual
requirements
will
be
based
on
other
ordinances.
So
it
should
be
pretty
straightforward
with
those
conditions,
and
that's
all
that
I
have
Mr
chairman.
A
E
Good
evening
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Michael.
Powers
I
represent
that
the
applicant
Atlas
Tower
LLC
Alice
Tower
one
LLC
and
by
Fiat
I
to
some
degree,
represent
a
t
because
that's
the
the
carrier,
the
mobile
network
operator.
That's
engaged
us
to
start
this
project,
but,
as
you
saw
from
staff
report,
we're
going
to
be
building
a
site,
that's
capable
of
housing,
additional
mobile
network
operators
or
first
responder
equipment
or
other
wireless
communication
needs
for
the
city
of
Monroe
into
the
future.
As
part
of
our
business
model.
E
So
I'll
just
say
a
few
words,
because
I
I
could
talk
an
hour
about
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
that
Atlas
Tower
is
working
in
conjunction
with
a
t,
and
the
most
notable
interesting
thing
about
that
is
that
at
T
is
now
a
partner
with
the
fcc's
firstnet
first
first
net
responder
Network,
and
what
that
means
is
that,
in
addition
to
the
frequency
bands
that
at
T
services
that
their
consumer
customers
with
connectivity
wirelessly
their
antennas
will
also
work
with
the
this
first
responder
network
with
the
the
frequencies
that
that
were
designated
for
only
for
the
use
of
First
Responders
and
it's
kind
of
interesting.
E
You
see
it
getting
rolled
out
across
the
U.S.
This
has
been
project
started
after
9
11
a
long
time
ago,
but
we're
finally
seeing
the
network
get
built
out.
What
that
basically
means
is
in
the
future,
as
your
community
has
connectivity
with
firstnet
through
at
T's
towers
and
Equipment
they'll
have
special
responders
or
transceivers,
basically,
radios
phones
that
aren't
available
to
the
public
and
they
work
on
different
frequencies
in
the
event
of
any
any
use
of
that
those
frequencies.
E
It
would
not
be
available
to
regular
citizens
without
an
application
and
some
connection
to
law
enforcement
Etc
just
a
real
jump
forward
in
terms
of
techno
technological
application.
To
that
specific
super
important
Civic
function,
the
other
thing
I'll
point
out
just
just
because
it
just
to
say
it
on
the
record,
because
we
are
control.
Our
industry
is
controlled
by
the
FCC,
the
Federal
Communications
Commission.
We
do
a
comply
both
with
all
of
your
rules
here
locally
and
in
the
state
of
Georgia,
but
we
also
have
to
comply
with
all
the
federal
regulatory
stuff.
E
So
we
we
will
do
a
National
Environmental
Policy
Act
report
on
the
site,
so
that
we
are
sure
that
there
aren't
plant
or
animal
species
that
might
be
illegally
or
I,
don't
know
impeded
or
whatever
we'll
also
consult
with
through
that
process.
We'll
also
consult
with
your
state
historic
preservation
office
we'll
do
a
study
on
basically
the
entire
parcel
and
any
special
issues
that
might
come
up.
That
would
be
basically
information
sent
to
the
FCC
and
could
cause
us
to
have
to
make
adjustments.
If
there
was
some
some
issue
found.
E
E
B
my
request
is
that,
because
2B
mentions
information
about
the
number
and
type
of
antennas
that
oh
can
be
accommodated,
that's
not
a
problem.
I
thought
you
were
asking
me
to
actually
show
you
exactly
which
antennas
were
going
to
be
installed.
E
Because
I
I
guess
where
I
was
going
with
that
I'll
just
finish
my
thought,
even
though
it's
not
relevant,
and
that
is
that
the
carriers,
the
mobile
network
or
operators
like
ATT
will
come
back
to
you
for
through
at
least
your
building
department
to
get
a
separate
building
permit
to
put
their
equipment
both
on
the
tower
on
the
ground.
I
like
to
say
we
do
the
dumb
stuff
and
they
do
the
SMART
stuff.
E
Our
projects,
concrete
Steel
fences
stuff
like
that,
and
they
do
all
the
technology,
so
that
would
be
on
a
separate,
a
separate
building
permit
as
we
go
through
the
process,
so
yeah
with
that
I
think
I'll
I'll
stop
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you.
E
Good
question
I
would
love
it
if
we
could
get
this
project
done
this
year.
That's
the
intention!
So
assuming
we
can
get
an
approval
here
tonight
we
will
report
back
to
at
T.
We
will
also
still
have
to
go
through
a
somewhat
time-consuming
process,
particularly
with
the
NEPA,
the
national
Policy
Act
report.
Those
can
take
up
to
three
months
to
to
receive
the
entire
report
partially
because
of
Native
American
notification
and
consultation
with
State
offices
like
shippo.
E
It
just
takes
a
while,
so
I
would
say
we
could
conceivably
be
regulatory
complete
in
three
to
four
months.
From
the
moment
this
is
approved
locally.
So
what
does
that
get
us
to?
That
gets
us
to
construction
start
realistically,
maybe
October
1st,
and
that's
that's.
If
everything
goes
great.
We've
seen
last
three
years,
we
still
really
aren't
thought
of
Cova
when
it
comes
to
supply
chain
issues
and
having
equipment
available
for
construction
start
is,
there's
still
currently
a
a
an
amazing
backlog
of
of
electrical
components,
step
down,
Transformers,
conductors
plastic
conduit.
E
So
so
we
have
our
own
building
code.
All
Towers
have
a
special
National,
Building
Code,
it's
it's
it's
a
it's
tia22,
revg
or
H.
It's
a
letter
thing
that
they
as
they
move
through
the
the
letters
and
get
we're
in
between
G
and
H,
and
so
that
that
code
requires
us
to
meet
a
very
specific
engineering
standards
based
on
the
loading
that
we
design
it
for
so
the
amount
of
concrete
in
the
ground.
E
The
weight
of
the
concrete
thicknesses
of
the
steel,
the
the
ability
to
manage
your
highest
known,
wind,
speed
and
gusts
and
I'd
say
ice,
but
you
guys
don't
really
have
ice
loading
here.
All
of
that
is
dial
and
earthquake.
Actually
Earth.
Seismic
movement
is
also
calculated
in
that
code,
but
it's
all
dependent
on
upon
what
we
tell
the
engineers
we're
going
to
put
on
it.
So
our
standard
is
to
take
four
four
G
equipment's,
pretty
much
the
heaviest
equipment,
that's
being
used
in
the
US
right
now.
E
Their
their
antennas
are
big
surfboards,
they're,
they're
up
to
eight
feet,
long
and
two
and
a
half
feet
wide,
four
to
six
inches
thick
and
they're.
Typically,
six,
nine
or
twelve
on
a
on
a
on
a
on
on
what
we
call
a
rad,
a
10
foot
vertical
space,
so
we
assume
12
12
of
those
are
antennas,
plus
the
amplifiers
and
the
the
other
assorted
equipment.
That's
actually
installed
on
the
tower,
and
then
we
just
this.
This
is
just
this
is
just
how
we
do
it.
We
take
that
number.
E
We
multiply
it
by
400
percent,
on
the
assumption
that
we
might
want
to
do
that
for
three
more
times
with
three
customers
that
we
don't
have
right
now.
So
that's
how
we
get
that
there
was
another
sheet.
It
showed
four
carriers
on
the
tower.
We
just
tell
the
engineers
we're
going
to
do
that
four
times
at
each
segment
of
the
Tower.
E
Duplicity
with
the
mechanical
engineering,
because
almost
all
of
these
well
all
of
these
towers
that
we
buy
are
from
the
Midwestern
states,
I'm,
not
sure
why
that
is,
there's
some
on
the
east
coast
and
the
West
Coast,
but
in
any
event
we're
buying
our
Towers
to
our
specifications
in
a
state.
That's
neither
the
state
of
of
Atlas
Tower
nor
your
state,
so
they'll
apply
both
the
national
code.
E
Standards
for
structural
capacity
they'll
also
apply
and
stamp
for
their
state,
because
that's
where
they're
located
our
engineering
firm
is
on
the
other
sheet
are
our
Colorado
Engineering
shirt
group
will
also
check
those
numbers
and
then
because
we
have
to
comply
with
Georgia
because
we're
in
Georgia
we
will
engage
in
Georgia
engineer
as
well
to
check
those
those
specifications.
So
this
is
It's
kind
of
triple
checked
it's
not
really
by
Design,
but
that's
that's
how
it
works
out.
A
Other
questions
I
will
ask
if,
if
you're
in
agreement
with
all
the
the
three
conditions
that
stated
on
the.
E
Absolutely,
although
I
just
want
to
point
out
just
to
be
super
clear,
150
foot
pole
with
a
four
foot,
lightning
rod,
sir,
that's
right!
Where's,
my
brain
tonight
and
I
wanted
to
confirm
that
that's
going
to
be
okay
with
the
setback,
because
that,
theoretically.
B
The
way
I
looked
at
the
now
I
mean
I,
assume
that
in
your
location
of
the
structure
and
having
all
my
previous
conversations
with
the
with
your
company
and
sure
the
past,
I
mean
the
lightning
rod.
I
was
not
technically
calling
it
part
of
the
structure.
It's.
B
B
I
was
going
to
say:
that's
not
I,
think
the
intent
is
that
the
the
actual
physical
structure
of
the
tower
is
150
feet
and
there's
a
lightning
rod
attached.
So
I
didn't
have
an
issue
with
that
at
all.
In
my
analysis,
I
noted
that
as
well
that
the
lightning
rod
I
was
not
counting
that
in
the
setback
distance,
perfect
I
mean
if
you'd
like
I'm
sure
you
have
room.
If
you
wanted
to
adjust
it
four
feet,
you
probably
could
I
mean
I.
B
Yeah
yeah
I'm,
saying
I,
don't
think
that's
I,
don't
think.
That's
an
issue
and
the
condition
I
worded
it
in
such
a
way
that
if
you
needed
to
move
this
Tower,
then
it
obviously
the
distance
to
the
residents.
Our
code
is
going
to
dictate
that
so,
if
you
have
to,
if
there
has
to
be
movement,
then
you
can
maintain
the
150
foot
height
and
you're,
going
to
maintain
the
150
foot
distance
from
a
residence.
