These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian Cily Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY & BACKGROUND The Applicant, Mericom Corporation, has requested approval of a conditional use permit for the construction of a wireless conununications facility consisting of a 125' tall steel monopole and supporting equipment in an I-L zone. The proposed location for the tower is on the west side of Tan Mile Road, just north of the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant, in the Ten Mile Mmi-Storage facility. The proposed tower will be located approximately 650' feet west of Ten Mile Road. The equipment for the proposed tower will be contained within a twelve foot by twenty-eight foot (12' x 28') prefabricated building. The building and the tower will be surrounded by a six foot (6') tall chain-link fence, topped with three strands of barbed wire. The applicant has indicated in their application that the owners ofthe property will eventually construct a storage building around the proposed structure, thereby eliminating the structure from view in the future. The proposed tower will be constructed to allow forthe co-location of two additional antenna arrays, one at 110' and the other at 95'. The MCC does not currently contain standards for wireless communications facilities, however all uses not listed on the Schedule of Use Comrol (MCC 11-8-1) are required to be handled as a conditional use. LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES The subject property's address is 3735 N. Ten Mile Road, located approximately a'/. mile north of Ustick Road, on the west side of Ten Idle. cvP-0z-ozs M~i~~ Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council September 17, 2002 Page 2 The following uses surround the subject property: North -Rural residential-agricultural, zoned RUT (Ada County).

When the Ten Mile RTini-storage facility was approved, there was no requirement placed on the developer to provide any landscaping on the southern boundary of the property. Likewise, applicant has not proposed any landscaping in the azea azound the proposed tower, because it backs directly up to the Creason Lateral and then the Wastewater treatment plant. Staff feels that no additional landscaping should be required for this application. B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian Coroprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance; The 93' Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (in effect at the time of submittal) designates the property as "Agricultural /Rural Residential".

The Council and Commission should consider public testimony when determining if the C[1Y-02-025 .MericomCUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council September 17, 2002 Page 3 proposed use will change the essential character of the area. D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity; Staff does not anticipate that the proposed uses will have an adverse affect on the other property in the vicinity, if designed, constructed, operated and maintained in accordancewith any conditions of approval and the City Ordinances. The Council and Commission should rely upon public testimony to determine if the development will adversely affect the other properties in the vicinity. E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services; Staff finds that the proposed development will be adequately served by the essential public facilities and services listed above. F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; Stafffinds that the proposed use would not create additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and service and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; Staff does not anticipate that the proposed use will be detrimental to the general welfare of the community by means of increased traffic, noise, smoke fiunes, glare or odors generated by the uses.
