The tower would be engineered to be extendable to 190', should additional height <br /> later be needed by another carrier seeking to collocate its equipment on the tower. The tower would not require <br /> lighting. <br /> OBSERVATIONS: The proposed CUP boundary consists of 50%cropland and 50%woodland, and is comprised of <br /> 80%class II soils. The property is surrounded by agricultural land, and approximately 8 rural residential lots are <br /> located within 2000' of the proposed tower. No sensitive environmental features observed on the subject property. <br /> TOWN PLAN: The property is located in the town's agricultural preservation area. <br /> RESOURCE PROTECTION: No resource protection corridors located on the property. <br /> STAFF: State law now limits the ability of local governments to regulate tower siting (regulations provided on page 2, <br /> below), and also requires a decision to be rendered within 90 days from the date of application (deadline for ZLR <br /> action would be Thursday, September 29, 2016). The proposal has been sent to the county's independent Radio <br /> Frequency (RF) engineering consultant, Evans Engineering Solutions for review against the county's tower <br /> ordinance. Please see attached RF engineer's report and recommendations. In addition to any recommendations <br /> from the consulting engineer, staff has recommended potential conditions of approval, below. Note that the applicant <br /> has requested an access permit from WISDOT for driveway access onto State Highway 51. <br /> TOWN: Approved conditioned upon access to the tower site being from State Highway 51. <br />
