Failure to pay such costs and expenses or provide <br /> information requested by the Committee shall be grounds for denial or <br /> revocation of a conditional use permit. The applicant may provide to the <br /> committee the names of consultants which the applicant believes are qualified <br /> to assist in resolving the issues before the committee. <br /> C. The area is mainly commercial except for a residence across the street. <br /> D. On June 8, 1998,the Town of Madison approved the proposal without conditions. <br /> III. SUMMARY <br /> A. Our ordinance encourages co-location. In this case it would seem a plausible option. <br /> Probably the existing tower could be extended without spending an amount 25 percent <br /> over the cost of constructing a new tower. <br /> B. To build a tower in this commercial area does not considerably alter its character. <br />
