PUBLIC COMMENT Stacey West, 17794 Lemon Street, Hesperia, indicated that she is-speaking on behalf of Swertfeger Equipment,located at 1243 8 Michigan Street. She indicated that they have been trying to obtain a building permit for their building. They have sent a letter to City Manager Schwab from their attorney back in August and have not heard a response to date. They need to come to a conclusion. In their initial conditions they were not told that they had to move power poles,if they were they would have made the cost a part of their loan. They are being told that if they don't move the poles they can not get a building permit. They are at a j complete standstill because they don't have the money to move the power poles. Charles Hornsby, 22656 Brentwood Street, stated that around the'corner of Preston and Barton Road there is a concrete barrier on the edge of the sidewalk that has been there for approximately 6 months that is an accident waiting to happen. Thelma Winkler Beach, 12570 Mt. Vernon Avenue, stated that she has opinions on a lot of things and wanted to share some of them. She expressed her concern with some of the recent Ordinances and feels that the City isn't communicating properly with the community. She Council Minutes December 8,2005 Page 3 feels that 2006 will present problems never anticipated in this community. She would like to see the same unity of spirit that created this community years ago. Bobbie Forbes, 11850 Burns Avenue, reported that the Chamber of Commerce will have their Holiday Decorating Contest on December 10, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. Patricia Farley, 12513 Michigan Avenue, expressed her dissatisfaction that the Colton Joint Unified School District held their Board Meeting the same evening as the City Council Meeting. She feels that the residents are consistently left out of the"loop. She questioned why the.City Council is allowing projects that she feels is trashing the-community. She questioned if the Council was aware that the Attorney for the District is stating facts that she believes to be untrue. She stated that they said there is appropriate circulation in Grand Terrace to handle the new high school. She questioned when the circulation issues in Grand Terrace are going to be addressed. She is tired of going to meetings and feeling that she is being walked over as a resident and that no one is representing her. She stated that the District did not bother to show the environmental report to the City of Riverside. She feels that we are not being good neighbors to Highgrove or Riverside. The residents affected by this project should have been involved in any forums. She questioned when the Council is going to represent the residents. City Manager Tom Schwab,stated that the Conditions of Approval on the Swertfeger project requires them to widen the road to the ultimate width and pave out the roadway. It does not specifically state that they must move the power pole, but it is implied. Staff has tried to work with Edison, however, they haven't responded positively. He can relay that to Swertfeger's attorney but it is not going to be the response that they want. He would have liked to be able to come up with a way to move the poles. He stated that staff will immediately look at the area that Mr. Hornsby referred to. The EIR public Hearing for the proposed High School was held this evening. Community and Economic Development Director Gary Koontz is at the meeting. Staff was given a copy of the EIR and have made responses'. There are a tremendous amount of circulation issues that staff has concerns with. The High School does not have to go through the City planning process they require no approvals from the City it is strickly a function of the State. 'Staff has commented on the circulation and will work with the School District to create the best circulation that we can. The City does not control the permitting of the high school.

The Historical Committee does a display in the foyer and this year it will focus on the Lion's Club. She reported that SCAG voted at their last meeting to go from a 3 year regional transportation plan cycle to a 4 year. She is concerned that the 215 South got put by the wayside for the last measure and that we are suppose to be at the top of the list but from what she understands there are other cities regionally that are trying to get.above us. She is an activist at heart and she shares the same concerns with circulation as the residents and feels that it needs to be a priority. She stated that the BMO will be doing an article on Citizen's Patrol and encouraged residents to get involved. Councilmember Miller, feels privileged to be a member of the Lion's Club.

He thanked the Historical and Cultural Council Minutes December 8,2005 Page 5 Activities Committee for the nice Birthday Party. He expressed his frustration with the amount of graffiti that he is seeing in town. He reported that there is graffiti at,both entrances into the City. He feels that it is very important to get a handle on the graffiti and that it gets removed quickly. The Lion's Club has offered to have work parties to remove the graffiti in the City. tY} Mayor Pro Tern Cortes,thanked the Historical and Cultural Activities Committee for putting on such a wonderful event. She knew that the Lion's Club did great work, however, she didn't know the extent of their work. She agrees that organizations and people that do for the City should be acknowledged. She reported that'at-the SANBAG Board of Directors Meeting, they decided on a new Executive Director Mark Tony Grasso. She also reported that Board Officer,Susan Van Note passed away. She thanked the Fire Department for their help at the Birthday Party. She thanked City Manager Schwab and Lt. Guerra for their help with an incident on DeBerry Street. She requested an update from Lt. Guerra. Lt. Guerra, responded that over the past several weeks they have been stepping up their efforts involving enforcement efforts on some of the kids that have been creating some of the problems in town. They did a couple of sweeps during the evening hours and were able to make several arrests which varied from curfew violations to possession of a fire arm. Since some of those enforcement efforts,it appears as though things have quieted down a little bit and they are keeping an eye on it. If they need to continue the enforcements they will do so. Mayor Pro Tem Cortes,wished everyone a happy and safe holiday and thanked everyone for being at the meeting on the City's birthday. Mayor Ferre,stated that she always enjoys the birthday party and thanked the Historical and Cultural Activities Committee for Hometown America and feels fortunate to live in a community where each year we celebrate our birthday. People come to this event that have no more reason than to say Happy Birthday to the City. She stated that Tony Petta and Ed O'Neal, for the past 10 to 14 years went to Terrace View Elementary School and had a flag ceremony every February and brought a flag for each of the students. She appreciated Ed O'Neal,Tony Petta as well as the Lions Club,they are a vital part of.the community and are certainly showing the students and people of the community what really is important and what matters. She wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday. PUBLIC HEARING 6A.

Their proposal included an option to audit each of the two subsequent fiscal years after the initial.three year period. The Government Finance Officers of America(GFOA) recommends that five years be granted for an audit engagement, based on the added costs of learning a client's financial systems as well as allowing the firm to recoup those higher initial operating costs over a reasonable period of time.,Staff recommends granting the two year extension with an additional two year option at the City's discretion along with a thirty day cancellation option. Allowing for a 5.4% inflationary increase based on the Consumer Price Index for the 12 month period of October 2004 through October 2005., the fees for the two years would be as follows: Fiscal Year 2005-2006 $17,315 Fiscal Year 2006-2007 $18,250 Adequate funds have been budgeted for audit.services for the current year. Staff Reeommends that the City Council. Approve the audit contract extension with the firm of Rogers Anderson Malody & Scott for FY05-66 and FY06-079 and approve an additional two year option at the City's discretion with a thinly day cancellatiort, clawse.

ADJOURNMENT at 7:15 p.m. 4r,�,✓ JoAnn,�hnson, Secretary NEXT MEETING WILL BE TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 2006 AT 6 P.M. 1 Community and Economic Development Department CAI I FOR NIA ` :.. ST FF REP.ORTY`_: A �i CRA ITEM ( COUNCIL ITEM (X ) _ MEETING DATE: January 12,-2006 FUNDING REQUIRED NO FUNDING REQUIRED X SUBJECT: Appeal of the Planning Commission's denial- of Conditional Use Permit No. 05-06 (CUP-05-06) and Environmental Review Case No. 05-19 (E-05-19) to allow for an "amateur radio antenna structure" with a tower- mast and antennas on top with a maximum height of 75 feet and including , a "yagi" antenna measuring approximately 32 ft. x 36 ft. - APPELLANTS: Hans and Eleanor Ehlert LOCATION: 22830 Lark Street(The site is located on the northwesterly corner of the intersection of Lark Street and Crane Street. RECOMMENDATION: Open the Public Hearing -on the Appeal, Receive any testimony, Close the Public Hearing and Sustain the Planning Commission's denial of the requested "amateur radio antenna structure." Background: The appellants filed these two applications- (CUP-05-06 and' E-05-19) for the approval•of an "amateur radio antenna structure"(HAM structure)consisting of a 75 foot tower-mast and antenna and also a "yagi" antenna measuring approximately 32 ft'x 36 ft. The yagi antenna would be attached near the-top of the tower-mast structure. These applications were heard by the Planning Commission on September 15, 2005 and November 17, 2005. The matter was continued' to the 'November 17`h meeting in order to readvertise the request to include the 75 foot height and to allow staff to survey how other cities regulate HAM towers and antennas. (The applicants/appellants had amended their request for the 75 foot height a few days before the first hearing.) The subject site consists of a single family lot of about 7,400 square feet on the northwesterly corner of Lark and Crane. The site is developed art/ith a i\,,Eo-sfor l home. the requested "amateur and erra.ce, Ga(irn i�a. vG '�� . f 02./_82 ..3G2 i radio antenna structure" is currently erected on the east side of the house in the corner side yard next to Crane Street. It was put up in late May or early,June of last year. A"stop work"notice was issued by the City's Building and Safety Department on June 1, 2005 in that a building permit had not been obtained to construct this structure. i Grand Terrace currently has no specific zoning ordinance which regulates "HAM" radio antennas and towers. Most of the cities in the immediate area are like Grand Terrace in that they do not have a specific ordinance for "HAM" radio facilities. Staff did find some cities and at least one county in other areas that do have "HAM" ordinances and we provided copies of the ordinances to,the Planning Commission for their review. (For a detailed background of this request and discussion of other"HAM"ordinances, Staff has provided copies of the Planning Commission Staff reports for September 15`h and November 17`h. (Please see the Attachments 1 and 2.) As noted above,this proposal was heard two times by the Planning Commission. At both meetings there was considerable opposition from the surrounding neighbors, citing negative aesthetics and safety concerns, and one real estate agent who testified as to the negative impact of the existing tower-mast and. antenna on real estate sales. (For a detailed review of the testimony at both meetings, please see the attached Commission minutes for September 15`h and November 171h Attachments 3 and 4.) Also, as part of the project's review, Staff submitted the construction drawings and calculations for the tower-mast and antenna to Willdan,the City's plan checker,for review and comment. The plan checker's comments were that basically the submitted construction drawings needed to be corrected and to provide more information on the structural soundness of the structure. (A copy of the marked up construction drawings has been attached to this report as Attachment 5.) In its recommendation to the Commission, the Staff proposed.that the tower-mast and antenna be moved to the back of the house and be limited to no more than about 33 feet in height as a "compromise." This recommendation was made in light of Assembly Bill 1228 passed by the State of California 2 Y2 years ago which stipulates that jurisdictions "shall not preclude amateur radio service communications, shall reasonably accommodate amateur radio service communications, and shall constitute the minimum practicable regulations to accomplish the city's or county's legitimate purpose." The Staffs recommendations were designed to utilize the house to screen the tower-mast and antenna as much as possible from the adjacent streets. However, the I neighbors who spoke in opposition were also against the Staff's "compromise" recommendation. The appellants have indicated in their appeal that they were willing to accept the conditions in the Staff report to the Planning Commission; however,they submitted a letter to Staff dated September 11, 2005 indicating their objections to relocating the tower-mast and antenna to the back of the house, limiting its height and providing screening landscaping in the backyard. Finally, they did not indicated either prior to the November 17`h meeting to Staff or in their testimony to the Planning Commission, their willingness to accept the,Staff's recommendation and conditions. (Please see Attachment 6, the September 11, 2005 letter to Staff and Attachment 2, the minutes of the November 17`h meeting cited above.) Base on the testimony and exhibits provided at the two meetings on September 15`h and November 17`h,the Planning Commission on November 17,2005 denied this request. The Commission denial was based on negative impacts to aesthetics, health and safety issues and the objections by the applicants/appellants given in the September 11, 2005 letter to Staff. On November 22, 2005 this appeal was filed with the City Clerk. (Please see Attachment 7, a copy of the appeal on this matter.) Recommendation: The Staff recommends that the City Council open the Public Hearing on this Appeal, Receive any testimony,Close the public hearing and Sustain the Planning Commission's denial of the requested- "amateur radio antenna structure."

A Yagi-Uda Antenna, commonly known simply as a Yagi antenna,is an antenna consisting of an array of a dipole and additional parasitic elements. The dipole in the array is driven,and another.element, slightly longer,' operates as a reflector. Other shorter parasitic elements can be added iri-front Uof the dipole as directors.This arrangement gives the antenna directionality that a single dipole lacks.Yagis are directional along the axis perpendicular to the dipole in the plane of the elements,from the-reflector through the driven element and out the director(s); if one holds out one's arms to form a dipole and has the reflector behind oneself,one would receive signals with ' A Yagi-Uda antenna.From left to maximum gain from.in front of oneself. right,the elements mounted on the boom are called the reflector,driven Yagi antennas which include one or more director,elements,which,by virtue element,director. of their being arranged at approximately a quarter-wavelength mutual spacing --- and being progressively slightly shorter than a half wavelength,direct signals of increasingly higher frequencies onto the active dipole.(See also.log-periodic antenna.)Thus,the complete antenna achieves a distinct response bandwidth determined by the length,diameter,and spacing of all the individual elements;but its overall gain is proportional to its length,rather than simply the number of elements. All the elements usually lie in the same plane,typically supported on'a single boom or crossbar.The parasitic elements do not need to be coplanar,but can be distributed on both sides of the plane of symmetry.Many Yagi-Uda antennas(including the one pictured)are designed to operate on multiple bands; the resulting design is made more �J complicated by the presence of a resonant parallel coil and capacitor combination(called a"trap")in the elements. Traps are used in pairs on a multiband.antenna.The trap serves to isolate the outer portion of the element from the inner portion for the trap design frequency.In practice,the higher frequency traps are located closest to the boom of the antenna.Typically,a triband beam will have 2 pairs of traps per element.For example,a typical triband Yagi-Uda beam covering the 10,.15 and 20 meter bands would have traps for the 10 and 15 meter bands. The introduction of traps is not without cost—due to their nature,they reduce the overall bandwidth of the antenna and overall efficiency of the array on any given frequency,and radically affects its response in the desired direction. 'The Yagi-Uda antenna was invented in 1926 by Shintaro Uda of Tohoku University, Sendai,Japan,with the collaboration of Hidetsugu Yagi,also of Tohoku University.Yagi published the first English-language article on the antenna in 1928 and it came to be associated with his name.However,Yagi always acknowledged Uda's principal contribution to the design,and the proper name for the antenna is, as above,the Yagi-Uda antenna(or array). The Yagi was first widely used during World War II for airborne radar sets,because of its simplicity and directionality.Ironically,many Japanese radar engineers were unaware of the design until very late in the war,due to inter-branch fighting between the Army and Navy.Arrays can be seen on the nose cones of many WWII aircraft, notably some versions of the German Junkers Ju 88-fighter-bomber and the British Avro Lancaster bomber.

APPLICANT: Hans Ehlert and Eleanor Keeling Ehlert LOCATION: 22830 Lark Street (The subject site is located on the northwesterly comer of the intersection of Lark Street and Crane Street.) RECOMMENDATION: Open the Public Hearing, take testimony, close the Public Hearing and approve the Resolution ,for Approval for CUP-05-06 as recommended by Staff. BACKGROUND: This request was continued from the meeting of September 15, 2005 in order to allow,for the proposal'to be readvertised and renoticed for the 75 foot height of the tower and antenna as requested by the applicants and in order to survey how other jurisdictions regulate amateur radio antenna facilities (HAM facilities). Please see Attachment 1 for the minutes of the September 15, 2005 meeting on this request. On October 24,2005 a revised notice of this proposal with the new height of 75 feet was mailed to all of the property owners within 300 feet of the subject site. As part of the research for this continued public hearing; Staff contacted or obtained a copies of ordinances regulating HAM radio facilities from various cities and at least one county in the local area. We also obtained copies of all of the ordinances listed by the applicant in his letter to staff dated September 11, 2005. A cape of that letter is attached to this report a6 Attachment 2. We ve-11 r-r� i, � r� F.. 22795 Carton Road c Grand Terrace: California 923 13-52L I C have copies of these latter ordinances available-at the public hearing if members of the Commission have questions about them. l In order to make some sense out of the various ordinances regulating amateur radio facilities, Staff 1 prepared a table,Table 1.0, listing the major provisions of each listed ordinance. The first column on the left contains the provisions of each.ordinance;while the top row indicates what jurisdiction j was reviewed. The bottom row also indicates if a copy of the specific ordinance provisions has been provided to the list of attachments for this report. Please see Attachment 3 for Table 1.0. The j referenced ordinances have also been attached to this report. f Most of the cities in the immediate local area are like Grand Terrace in,that they do not have a specific ordinance for HAM radio facilities. Colton,Loma Linda and the.City of Riverside would treat a HAM radio request in the same way that this proposal has been reviewed,i.e.as an.accessory l structure with some sort of special review if the proposed height is over the heightilimit.of an accessory structure. Other jurisdictions have more detailed regulations. As stated above, Staff has provided a copy of these regulations for the Planning Commission's review. i j REQUEST: i The applicant has filed these two applications for approval of an "amateur radio antenna f structure"(HAM structure)consisting of a"yagi"antenna on top of a tower=mast located on a single family residential lot located at 22830 Lark Street in the City of Grand Ten-ace. (Please see C Attachment 4 for an aerial photograph showing the location of the subject site.) The applicant had i amended or clarified his request at the last meeting to propose a height of 75' for the'tower and antenna. This request has been readvertised'as such as noted above. i SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA: i The subject site consists of a single family lot of 7,427.9 square feet in size located on the northwesterly corner of the intersection of Lark Street and Crane Street in the City of Grand Terrace. ` The site is presently developed with a two-story single family residence which was constructed in 2000-2001. The property is zoned RI -7.2' Sin le Family Residential-min. p periy' ( g y_ required area of 7,200 sq.ft.). The"amateur radio antenna structure"(HAM structure) is currently erected on the easterly side of the house in the corner side yard area. It was put up in late May-early June. A"stop work" notice was issued by the City's Building and Safety Department on June 1,2005 as a building permit had not been issued for the tower-mast and antenna. The surrounding area is developed with single family residences excepting for the California Aqueduct right-of-way and the open area of Blue Mountain farther to the east. There is one other "amateur radio tower structure"in the neighborhood at 22552 Lark Street located about.1800 feet westerly of the subject site on Lark Street. This facility is a legal non-conforming use that was put up before the City incorporated. 4 Both Lark and.Crane are local City streets with 60-feet of right-of-way, 12-foot parkways and 36-feet of paving •1 GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING: The site is located in the"LDR"'(Low Density Residential)category of the City's General Plan and is zoned R1 - 7.2. The properties..in the surrounding area are,located in the same General Plan category and are also zoned R1 -7.2 excepting for the California Aqueduct and hillside areas to the east which are in.the RI - 20 Zone. Single family residential structures along with accessory structures are permitted in the Rl' - 7.2 Zone. The City currently has no.specific zoning ordinance which,regulates "amateur radio antenna t_ 1 structures" or "HAM" radio antennas. Such facilities are not-covered by.the City's "Wireless Telecommunication Ordinance which specifically exempts"noncommercial antennas." However, Section 18.06.020 of the Zoning Code which defines "accessory structures"-does include in that definition the following items:"antennas,radio and other towers and satellite dishes."Further,Table 18.10.040 Footnote(d.)stipulates that the height limit of any"accessory structure shall not exceed twenty(20) feet in height with exceptions as stipulated in Section 18.73.090 which allows for a greater height than 20 feet with the approval of a conditional use permit. Therefore, these applications were filed to modify the 20 foot height limit for"an accessory structure"to allow for the radio antenna structure to exceed the 20 foot limitation in this case up to 75 feet. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Site Plan: 1 The.site plan marked Exhibit A-1 shows the location of the tower-mast and antenna which,as stated above, is on the easterly side of the house along the Crane Street frontage. The foundation of the tower-mast measures approximately 5 feet by 5 feet. The foundation-is located just outside.of the 15 foot-corner sideyard;however,the antenna portion does overhang the 15 foot sideyard but does not go beyond the property line along Crane when it is not rotated. (See below.) In addition, the backyard area is enclosed by an approximately 5 foot high wooden fence not shown on the site plan. A 8 %"x I V copy of Exhibit A-1 has been attached to this report. Exhibit A-2 is a copy of the site/grading plan from the construction drawings for the building permit for the residence. It shows the footprint of the existing house, slopes and spot elevations of the subject site and surrounding properties. This construction site and grading plan may be useful in discussions on possible alternatives to the proposed request. A 8 %"x 11" copy of Exhibit A-2 has been attached to this report. Exhibit A-3 shows a proposed location for the tower in the back or rear of the residence. It-indicates that when the antenna is rotated during use,the antenna booms will come within about 3 Meet of the rear property line. A 8 V? x I" copy of Exhibit A-3 is attached. Exhibit,A-4 shows'how close the booms will come to the rear property line if the tower remains on the east side of the house when it is rotated during use. It should be pointed out that it also shows that the boom will extend beyond the easterly property line over the Crane right-of-way. A 8 %" x 11" copy of Exhibit A-4 is included. C Elevations: The elevation of the tower-mast and antenna (called a "yagi" antenna), is shown on the revised Exhibit A-5.(Please see Attachment 5 for a definition of a"yagi"antenna.) It shows that the height l of the tower-mast is 75'at maximum height,presumably when it is in use. It also shows a"minimum height"of approximately 30%z `. A field inspection revealed that the tower-mast is capable of being j "cranked-up"to a higher elevation. There is a hand crank and cable to raise the height,of the tower l and yagi antenna. The tower-mast will be raised during use for the best reception. The yagi antenna, also, can be rotated, as noted above, for the best reception. Also,shown on Exhibit A-5 is a plan view of the"yagi"antenna. It measures 32 feet in width(the l boom length)and.36'-6"in length and has fiberglass elements. The antenna will be located about 6 feet below the top of the tower-mast. The maximum or minimum height of the"yagi"antenna has not been called out by the applicant on the.submitted drawings. The size and configuration of the "yagi"antenna is the same as the one shown at.the September hearing;only the proposed maximum height has changed. REVIEWING AGENCY COIVIlVIENTS: i The following comments were made by various local agencies in reviewing this project: l Building ands i Please refer to the comments made by the Director of Building and Safety/ blic Works in his memorandum of July 27,2005 (Attachment 6). j In addition,following the September hearing,Staffasked the Director of the Department ofBuilding and Safety to submit the structure calculations for the antenna and tower to"plan check."'The plans have been reviewed and additional information has to be provided before a building permit can be issued. County Department of Public Health: I The County Department of Public Health-Division of Environmental Health Services'indicated by hand written note dated July 8,2005 that it had no comments'on this proposed request(Attachm'ed 7). 1 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project for an "amateur radio antenna structure" as an accessory structure is "Categorically i Exempt"per the California Environmental Quality Act,Article 19,Section 15303(e),Class 3 which allows for accessory (appurtenant) structures for residential sites. This use is considered an accessory structure under the City's Zoning Code as noted above. Regarding health issues, it is Staffs understanding that under the Federal Telecommunication Act of 1996, local government car-not deny an application for a telecom-munication lac*liter because oz health issues from "radio frequencj'cmissions" or alleged health isFucs ,ro�.� suc', erg_:ssra'ns. Also,only the FCC(Federal Communication Commission)has jurisdiction over interference issues per out City Attorney. The City Attorney also indicated that the City has no jurisdiction over"ENV" (electromagnetic field)issues,if they exist for this request. STAFF ANALYSIS: In 1985 the FCC issued an order that local governments could regulate amateur installations to insure the safety and health of persons in the community but could not enact regulations which are so ,—� restrictive-that they preclude effective amateur communications. This ruling is known as the "limited federal preemption or `PRB-V rule." On July 14,2003 Governor Davis signed into law Assembly Bill 1228. This bill became law after unanimous votes in both houses of the State legislature. It was sponsored by Assembly member Bob Dutton from Rancho Cugamonga. This legislation incorporates the"limited federal preemption known as `PRB-V(discussed above) into California law. The law states the following: Any ordinance adopted by the legislative body of a city or county that regulates amateur radio station antenna structures shall allow those structures to be erected at heights and -dimensions sufficient, :to accommodate amateur radio service communications, shall not preclude amateur radio service communications, shall - reasonably accommodate amateur radio service communications,and shall constitute the minimum practicable regulation to accomplish the city's or county's legitimate I , purpose. A copy of the chaptered bill is included here as Attachment 8 for the Commission's information and reference. In signing the bill,the Governor told the California legislature: In signing this bill,I also want to acknowledge-the thousands of Californians who are licensed amateur.radio operators and who each year give.thousands of hours of volunteer service to the state and local governments. They have a long and proud record of helping the state during times of natural disasters and emergencies. Since the September 11,2001 attack on America,we also have come to rely on them and appreciate their commitment to the security and well being of all Californians. Given this preemption by Federal and State law,the Planning Commission is obligated to approve this request with only the"nunimum practicable regulations"and conditions. Therefore,though this request might be modified to some extent, it can not be denied outright. In addition, Staff believes that the "minimum practical regulation" falls into two main areas, i.e. public safety and aesthetics. Public safety can be regulated through the requirement for a building permit. The tower-mast and antenna must be structurally sound•and roust be able to handle projected' wind loads for this area. Aesthetics will be focused oil the j7isu.a.l impacts of diE size and heiet of the proposed tower-mast and antenna. I ) i i The applicant has indicated that he needs the height and the size of the antenna in order to broadcast and receive radio signals at the wave lengths � � that he uses. He has also claimed that the higher the tower-mast, the less likely there will be interference problems with ,the neighbors electronic appliances. Any lower height or smaller antenna would not allow for him to broadcast or receive transmissions as effectively, and may, according to him,result in more interference problems. The applicant has also shown on Exhibits A-3 and A-4 that the"yagi"antenna would be closer to the rear property line when the antenna is rotated than would be the case if it stayed on the east side of the house. In several of the HAM radio ordinances Staff reviewed there was a prohibition against erecting or li construction the HAM facility in the front yard or the side yard of a corner lot. Obviously the reason for that is to minimize the visual impact of the tower-mast and antenna as seen from the public right- of-way. Visual or aesthetic considerations is one of the two main areas(beside building and safety I issues) where Staff believes local control has not been pre-empted by, the FCC of the State. Therefore, Staff is again recommending that the tower-mast and antenna be relocated to the rear of ! the residence. The applicant pointed out, correctly, that the original recommendation for the location and height of the antenna and tower-mast did not take into consideration the necessary clearance between the antenna when it is in use and when it is rotated to maximize its reception and the fireplace/chimney which appears to rise about 2-3 feet above the top of the roof line. Staff believes that can be accommodated by imposing a requirement that the tower-mast can be raised above the,minimum height shown on Exhibit A-3 only a sufficient distance to clear the chimney and no more. If the l 1 applicant still believes that he needs a.height higher than this, the burden of proof will be with the ;) applicant to provide aJustification for a greater height which Staff believes that he has not done at this point. I E Also,Exhibit A-3 shows that the"yagi"antenna when it is rotated when in use will come to within about 3 Meet of the rear property line. Staff recommends that when the antenna is not in use that the minimum distance to the rear property line and the antenna booms be maintained approximately 10 feet by rotating it back Staffwould,prefer a greater distance.but under the'circumstances in order to get the tower-mast and antenna behind the house Staff feels that it is acceptable. It will result in fthe removing of the highly visible tower-mast and antenna from the corner side yard and avoiding the booms of the antenna extending out over the public-right-of-way along Crane. Further mitigation of the visual impacts could be achieved by requiring additional landscaping to the I rear yard to screen as much as possible the view of the tower and antenna structure from adjacent properties and from Crane Street and by adding a restriction that no portion of the antenna be allowed within approximateyy 0 feet of any property line when not in use. At the September hearing, questions were raised about the size.and type of landscaping for the rear yard screening: Staff has included in the recommended landscape condition that the proposed planting be"fast growing and tall such as cypress leylandii or canary island pine" and that all plantings be required to be 15 gallons in size or larger. These requirements plus other appropriate conditions have been added to ! the Resolution of Approval (Attachment 9), ! i Additionally;the Building and Safety Director has indicated that the tower/an'ten-na structure could j be located to the rear/back of the house and could be Iocated Fh7-tllir_S feet oft L he residential structure. He also indicated that it would be,pe_rrr?issible for the antemnae structure to bang over the roof ofthe house so that there would be some distance between an adjacent property line and the antenna. ,This would allow the antenna to be at least 10 to 18 feet from the adjacent property lines when not in use. As noted above, Staff submitted the submitted structural-drawings for the tower-mast and antenna to the Director of Building and Safety. He thereupon submitted the drawings to the City's structural engineer for review. The engineer/plan checker indicated that corrections and additional information will have to be submitted to the City before a building permit can be issued for this structure. Finally, Staff did contact the""AARL" (National Association for Amateur Radio) and "AES" (Amateur Electronic Supply,a prominent"HAM"equipment supplier) and were told by both that there is no smaller antenna that would be as effective as the proposed antenna of this request. A smaller antenna would not work as effectively according to these sources. FINDINGS: Section 18.63.050 of the Zoning Code requires that specific findings be made by the Planning Commission in -approving a conditional use permit application. These findings have been incorporated into the"Resolution of Approval"'(Attachment 9). CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: I Upon approval by the Planning.Commission, this proposal will be subject to the recommended conditions of approval,unless modified by the Commission, included in the Resolution ofApproval f (Attachment 9). RECONMENDATION: The staff recommends that at the conclusion of the public hearing,the-Planning Commission approve CUP-05-06 and E-05-19 as set forth by the Resolution of Approval,Attachment 6,supported by the required findings and recommended conditions of approval.

A Yagf-Uds Antenna, commonly known simply as a Yagi antenna, is an antenna consisting of an array of a dipole and additional parasitic elements. The dipole in the array is driven,and another element, slightly longer, operates as a reflector.Other shorter parasitic elements can be added in front of the dipole as directors.This arrangement gives the antenna directionality that a single dipole lacks. Yagis are directional along the axis perpendicular to the dipole in the plane of the elements,from the reflector through the driven element and out the director(s); if one holds out one's arms to form a dipole and has the reflector behind oneself, one would receive signals with maximum gain from in front of oneself. A Yagi-Uda antenna.From left to right,the elements mounted on the. Yagi antennas which include one or more director elements,whic bom are called the reflector,driven by virtue element,director. Of their being arranged at approximately a quarter-wavelength mutual spacing - -and being progressively slightly shorter than a half wavelength,direct signals of increasingly higher frequencies onto the active dipole.(See also log-periodic antenna)Thus,the complete antenna achieves a distinct response bandwidth determined by the length,diameter,and spacing of all the individual elements;but its overall gain is proportional to its length,rather than simply the number of elements. All the elements usually lie in the same plane, typically supported on a single boom or crossbar..The parasitic elements do not need to be coplanar,but can be distributed on both sides of the plane of symmetry,Many Yagi-Uda antennas (including the one pictured)are designed to operate on multiple bands;the resulting design is made more complicated by the presence of a resonant parallel coil and capacitor combination(called a"trap")in the elements Traps are used in pairs on a multiband antenna.The trap serves to isolate the outer portion of the element from the inner portion for the trap design frequency.In practice,the higher frequency traps are located closest to the boom of the antenna.Typically,a triband beam will have 2 pairs of traps per element.For example,a typical triband Yagi-Uda beam covering the 10, 15 and 20 meter bands would have traps for the 10 and 15 meter bands.The introduction of traps is not without cost—due to their nature,they reduce the overall bandwidth of the antenna and overall efficiency of the array on any given frequency,and radically affects its response in the desired direction. The Yagi-Uda antenna was invented in 1926 by Shintaro Uda of Tohoku University,Sendai,Japan,with the collaboration of Hidetsugu Yagi,also of Tohoku University. Yagi published the first English-language article on the antenna in 1928 and it came to be associated with his name.However,Yagi always acknowledged Uda's principal contribution to the design,and the proper name for the antenna is,as above,the Yagi-Uda antenna(or array). The Yagi was first widely used during World War II for airborne radar sets,because of its simplicity and I irectionality.Ironically,many Japanese radar engineers were unaware of the design until very late in the war, due to inter-branch fighting between the Army and Navy.Arrays can be seen on the nose cones of many WWII aircraft, otably some versions of the German Junkers Ju 88 fighter-bomber and the British Avro Lancaster bomber. ee also E, Antenna(radio) retrieved from"http://en.wfldpedis.org/wikVYagi-;mtema' Categories: Radic frequency antccirm- L, s I wiretess co=un ic_ticr s i Ici�OMl1'iU�yJ?y 12-8.5413 MEMORANDUM To - TO: John Lampe, Associate Planner UGH U0 FROM: Jerry Glander, Director. of Building and Safety/Public Works DEPARTMENT OF m .,UILDING& SAFETY, DATE: July 27, 2005 -" PUBLIC WORKS AND HOUSING SUBJECT: CUP-05-06/E-05-19 -22830 Lark Street-Erect an amateur radio 22795 Barton Road antenna structure- Ehlert Suite B Grand Terrace After project review and in fiance with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code Article California 92313-5295 compliance Civic Center IL the following recommendations should be considered as conditions for the proposed (909) 825-3825 PmleCt.

MOTION VOTE PC-38-2005: Approved 0-0-1 Commissione idney Abstained 3. CUP-05-06, E-05-19: CUP-05-06 and E-05-19 have been filed for an amateur radio antenna structure consisting of a tower-mast and "yagi" antenna. APPLICANT: Hans Ehlert and-Eleanor Keeling Ehlert LOCATION: 22830 Lark Street (The subject -site is , located on the northwesterly corner of the intersection of Lark Street and Crane Street. RECOMMENDATION: Open the Public Hearing, take testimony, close the Public Hearing and approve the Resolution for Approval for CUP-05-06 as recommended by Staff. Associate.; Planner,Lampe greeted the Commission and presented his staff report. The Applicant's have filed for an approval of an amateur radio antenna structure consisting of 1 "yagi" antenna on top of a tower mast located on a single family lot on the corner of Lary/ and Crane Streets. The subject lot contains over 7;400 square feet of area. The lot is presently occupied by a two story house which was constructed about four,to five years ago. Properties in the immediate surrounding areas are zoned for single family uses and are developed as such. The amateur radio antenna structure is currently erected on the easterly side of the house, near the corner side yard of the house. This structure was erected in late May to early June of this year. A stop-work notice (was issued by the'City's Building and Safety Department on June 1st of this year as a building permit had not been issued for the.tower mast and antenna. { Currently, the City of Grand Terrace has- no specific zoning ordinance which regulates amateur radio antenna structure or for what is commonly called ham radio antennas. However Section 18.06.020 of the Zoning Code defines accessory structures as including "antennas, radios, and other towers and, satellite,dishes". The Staffs opinion is that this request falls within that definition. Further in the Zoning Code in Section 1810.040 in Footnote "D", it stipulates that the height _of an accessory structure shall not exceed 20 feet. -However, it does note that an exception to the height limit may be granted by the Planning Commission through a Conditional OF Permit process. 1 The site plan-that was prepared by the Applicant shows the location of the antenna as indicated on the easterly side of the house. There is an; existing concrete foundation I structure measuring about five feet by five feet, to support the structure where the tower is presently located. I j The actual foundation is located just outside of the corner side yard, the antenna overhangs f in the fifteen foot corner side yard. Construction plans for the house revealed a grading plan which showed the grading that took place on the site including the footprint of the existing house, retaining walls, and spot elevations that may be useful on discussions with regard to this project. The elevations showing the applicant's original request shows the height of the tower to be called out as 30 feet, and 6 1/2 inches.' The yagi antenna will be a little over 24 feet off ^{ the ground. A field inspection made by Staff on August 8, 2005, revealed-that the tower was capable of being raised to a higher elevation. A wench or crank could be'used to raise the antenna to a higher elevation. The Applicant indicated that he did not need any greater height and-had E 'no plans to raise the antenna. The Planning Commission was provided with a description of a,yagi antenna. The antenna was developed by Mr. Yagi in Japan in the 1920's and was extensively used by allied forces in World War II. The amateur radio antenna as r p oposed by the applicant as an accessory structure is categorically exempt by the California Environmental Quality Act avid it does fall under a Class III Categorical Exemption which does allow for accessory structures for residential uses. In the mid 1980's the Federal Communication Commission issued an order that local governments could regulate amateur installations to insure public safety and health of persons in the Community, but could not enact regulations which were so restrictive that they precluded effective amateur communications. This ruling,was known as the limited Federal Preemption Rule or the "PPR1" Rule. Ibis the Staffs understanding that through extensive lobbying activities by ham radio operators throughout the country, many States, including California which passed Assembly Bill Number 1228 adopted this-rule. It passed both houses in the State Legislature and was signed by the Governor in July 2003. That particular law states that "Any ordinance adopted by the Legislative Body of a City or County that regulates amateur radio station antenna structures shall allow those structures to be erected at heights and dimensions efficient to accommodate amateur radio service communications, and shall constitute the minimum practical regulation to accomplish the City or County's legitimate purpose. k . The City Attorney was contacted with regard to this Law and how it may apply to this particular project. , The City Attorney has commented that based upon the law, the j Commission does not have the option of denying this request. This request can be j approved with some restrictions but they must be within the parameters of the law with the minimum practical regulations. It is Staffs opinion the minimum practical regulations fall within two main' areas: Public safety and the visual appearance/aesthetics of the installation. Public safety will be easy to deal with and will be handfed vt4th the requirement in vthich the applicant Efeif[ have to fife for �z i L/ a.building permit and will have to go through plan check and submit structural drawings to insure structural soundness and can withstand what ever wind load is projected for this structure. The plan check process will take place presumably after the Planning Commission acts on this request. The aesthetics on the project would.focus primarily, on the height of the tower mast and ti size and appearance of the antenna and installation. The Applicant indicated that the antenna needed to be a certain height above the ground in order to be able to broadcast and be able to receive radio signals effectively. When the site was visited in early August, the applicant indicated that he would be willing to move the tower.and installation to the back of the house in order to placate some of the criticism that was coming from the neighbors about the installation. The approved construction drawings for the residence show that the roof line of the house measures about 22 feet in height. Staff felt that it would be a good idea to move the facility to the back of the house to screen as much of the tower as possible and to keep it away from the public right of way on Lark Street. Further mitigation of the visual impacts of the facility could be achieved by acquiring additional landscaping along the westerly, northerly and easterly property lines of the residence through.appropriate landscaping. The National Association for Amateur Radio was contacted as well as Amateur Electronics Supply, who was recommended to us by-Mr. Vic Pfenninghousen who is also a ham radio operator and is the Chairman of the Emergency Operations Committee for the City of Grand Terrace. Both sources informed Staff that a small antenna, even though it may be_ less visually intensive, would not be as effective as the proposed yagi antenna. One sm i antenna design reviewed by Staff contains more elements on it and seems to be visually less pleasing than what the applicant is proposing. At this time, the _Staff recommends that the original yagi antenna be a part of the recommendation for the project. A Resolution of Approval was prepared for this project in support.of moving the antenna to the back of the house and limiting the height as shown in the original drawing to 30 1/2 feet. The.Applicant did provide Staff with a critique of the staffs recommendation earlier this week.. The applicant .informed Staff that the antenna rotates in order to pick up more sensitive signals. Should the antenna be rotated, the facility would come to within three feet of the northerly property line. The applicant.also feels that the antenna be kept in its same location because it was his understanding that most of the criticism is coming from the people who live on Kentfield Street and will further -aggravate 'those resident's objections to the appearance of the antenna. The applicant is also objecting to the condition of the requirement of additional landscape screening in the back of the property line. He does not feel that it is appropriate for the proposed use. The applicant also feels that when the antenna is rotated from the current location, it will stay farther away from the northerly property line. The recommendation of limiting the height to 30 1/2 feet has also been- objected by tl- applicant. A drawing has ,been provided to show ths: height o the dower to Cie raised to -Q ' 4 i feet. Theoretically, the height increased could be allowed under the Conditional Use Permit to modify the height of the accessory structure. j The City Attorney was contacted, and it is his advice that the original notice for this hearing. was not broad enough to include the 75 foot increase, and if the Commission would like to a consider allowing a height increase than what was originally;applied for, the matter should be continued and renoticed, so that anyone who might have a concem with the height of 75 fi feet will get adequate notice. The City Attorney also advised that the specific' issue of whether this case should be approved or denied based on alleged radio interference by the neighboring residences could not be considered, and those types of issues and complaints should be referred to the Federal Communications Commission. Associate Planner Lampe concluded his staff report. Vice Chair Addington asked with regard to the response made by the City Attorney regarding interference complaints of citizens. Can the Federal `Communications Commission perform any type of enforcement of such violation's or are the citizens required to read the back of appliances that states that all interference must be accepted. Associate Planner Lampe replied that he had researched a series of web pages for people to make complaints via telephone-or email. It is unclear what the remedies would be. Vice Chair Addington feels that should this request be approved, a City Code Enforcement Officer would be.able to handle the situation fairly quickly. It is a concern that should it be handled by the FCC, such complaints would not be handled right away. Associate Planner Lampe replied that the City Attorney did state that such issues wouiu have to be handled by the Federal Communications Commission. The Staff has contact information for the FCC, should someone have such a complaint. f Vice Chair Addington asked with proposed Condition Number 13. The landscaping would have to be done to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. Is there any j type of idea of what type of landscaping is being required? : r Associate Planner Lampe replied that the landscaping would be something like a fast growing plant like a cypress .leyandi or canary island pine that has a tall. silhouette and would be a minimum of 15 gallon in size. At this time, as the applicant wants to keep the antenna at the side of the residence, in the same location, the necessity of landscaping the westerly and northerly property lines would not be as important. I j Vice Chair Addington asked if the building setback that is required applies to accessory structures. Associate Planner Lampe replied that the setback requirements do apply to accessory I structures, however, the antenna which occupies air space is not subject to set back I requirements. 'We cannot regulate air space. The only portion of the structure that is attached to the ground is the tower, and as long as the tower is -within the setback limits, we have no recourse for the antenna portion. I I r Chair Wilson asked with regard to the present position of the"tower structure, does it fall within the proper setbacks? Associate Planner Lampe replied that-at this time, the tower is just beyond the 15 foot side yard, so that the mast itself-is beyond the 15 foot setback for a corner side yard. Vice Chair Addington asked if the mast'Was hanging over the public right`of way. Associate Planner Lampe replied that he does not think that it does not lie over the public right of way, but if it is rotated, it probably could 'hang over the right of way. The- City Attorney was contacted, and he advised that as long_ as the antenna does not create a safety issue, by being over ,the -tight of way, that it cannot be regulated as we cannot regulate airspace. Vice Chair Addington asked if street trees are within the public right of way, and would those be considered.a public safety issue. Associate Planner Lampe replied that there are no street trees in the area. Chair Wilson asked Associate Planner Lampe if he wanted to confirm that the Applicant now wants to raise the tower higher than what was originally applied for in the original application? Associate Planner Lampe confirmed this question by stating that the applicant would like to further raise his antenna to 75 feet. The'applicant had advised of a possible continuance. Commissioner Comstock asked if the applicant wants to raise the tower to 75 feet, would_, he also have to remove the existing structure and re construct the entire tower. Associate Planner Lampe replied that he was unsure of this, and it would be a question that should be raised with the applicant. Commissioner Whitley asked what would be the opinion of the City Attorney in terms of the Commission's authority to regulate a 75 foot tower height. -As he reviewed the materials that were provided, -there is some authority that can be- kept to establish reasonable parameters as to whether or not having the tower of 75 feet is necessary to obtain the necessary reception, or could the reception could be obtained at a lower height such as 40 feet. Would the Commission have the authority to say that it•can be restricted to 40 feet if the applicant can get appropriate reception at that level? Associate-Planner Lampe replied that the City Attorney feels that the burden of proof would fall upon,the applicant. Should the applicant feel that. he cannot get-the.proper reception at 40 feet, whatever-the Commission domes,up with, he would have to,prove this. One of the issues that the applicant is trying to show is should the.antenna 'be raised to 75 feet, the interference would greatly decrease among the neighbors appliances.' The applicant had originally informed Associate Planner Lampe that it was not his intention to raise the antenna at all, but has changed his mind since the filing of the application in June. Chair Wilson opened up the Public Hearing. .j Eleanor Keeling Ehlert-Applicant I 22830 Lark Street Mrs. Ehlert explained that a ham radio operator is FCC licensed and must undergo several tests and to learn Morse code. Once the operator is licensed, it is the responsibility of the operator to serve for emergency 9 y purposes. Ham radio operators work with emergency I agencies during disasters. Mr. Ehlert is not set up to do as such as yet, but he is set up to join Radio Amateur Emergency Services for Southern California. The current tower is capable of broadcasting when there is no telephone or cell services available. None of the equipment that they own is tax deductible, and there is no way of earning any money. j When a tower height is raised, a 75% increase in reception results. So in case of' emergency, the reception is better. The concrete design has been certified by the Civil Engineers of California and it is a 6 foot deep by 5 foot by 5 foot foundation. It has been i made to withstand 100 mile per hour winds. These towers are designed to withstand disasters so that communication could be made after a disaster hits. I Vice Chair Addington asked how high can the tower be winched? Hans Ehlert-Applicant 22830 Lark Street i Mr. Ehlert replied that the tower can be winched to 55 feet. I ' Commissioner Comstock asked how many watts was the base station for the tower, and are there any future plans for upgrade and increase of wattage. Mr. Ehlert replied that it currently uses 100 watts. The increase or upgrade would depend upon the height of the antenna. Legally, the tower could be upgraded to 1500 watts. The lower the tower sits, the higher the possibility of interference. Commissioner Comstock asked if it was Mr. Ehlert's plan to keep the station at 100 watts. Mr. Ehlert replied that at this time he has no plans of increasing.the I wattage. Commissioner Comstock asked why a permit was never pulled to install the structure. Mr. Ehlert replied that he had called the Planning Department' in February of 2005 and inquired what the requirement was with regard to obtaining a permit for the structure. He I was told that the City had no ordinance which governs an antenna use structure. Three weeks later, an _email was sent to the Planning Department with regard to obtaining permits, to which a response was made that if the antenna were to stay at 35 feet, no permit was required. j Associate Planner Lampe replied that it was to his understanding based on a drawing that was reviewed that the tower would be 55 feet high, and because of the height, that a iConditional Use Permit would be required. Chair Wilson commented that there are specific items in the Building Code that are classed as accessory structures and not a[[ accesso�� siructurew are [tern[zed to [eIvs, foundations, nor are they always classified as requiring a permit. If there has been discussion with regard to this accessory structure, there would have been a possibility that this would not have fit under our code because it's not specifically covered under our code. Associate Planner Lampe replied that when the City's Building Official was contacted, th;- particular instance would require a building permit no matter how high the structure is. would be the City's responsibility-to make sure that it would be structurally sound. The stop work order was issued because a building permit had not been obtained. Lindy Ward 22825 Kentfield Street Mrs. Ward states she is the. northernmost property owners from the site. She provided some photographs for the Commission to see how the antenna obstructs their view from their back yard. Mrs. Ward also has a concern with regard to the width'of the antenna. It was her wish that the Ehlerts' would have come to them to talk about what they were proposing to do, especially with regard to how the antenna would impact their view. Mrs. Ward also stated that one summer ago, Mr. Ehlert had lit his back yard on fire to eradicate weeds rather than to mow them.' In her opinion, Mr. Ehlert has not expressed any type of safety mindedness by doing such a thing, and she does not foresee him being any more safety minded in,the future. At the present time, the tower is brand new and is shiny. But what will the tower look like in a few years. Will the tower be kept up or will it become rusty and unkempt looking. Mrs. Ward contacted a realtor in which the realtor has implied that the antenna has effected the value of her property greatly. also feels that if the tower is not earthquake safe the tower would to o Mrs. Ward q topple onto ' their property. If the antenna is moved to,the rear of the Ehlert's residence,, it would be extremely close to their property line. At this time, there is interference on her Son's cell phone and there is interference as well on various neighbor's baby monitors. Vice Chair Addington asked if Mrs. Ward was the neighbor to the rear of the subject property. Mrs. Ward replied that she was in fact..the neighbor to the rear of the Ehlerts. Vice Chair Addington asked if Mrs. Ward is against the antenna being moved to the rear. Mrs. Ward felt that she hated to make a selfish.decision, but it will affect their property in a negative manner. Mrs. Ward was pleased to see that the City was willing to require landscape screening, but they'will also have to pay for landscaping as well. Jesus C. Morga 22810 Kentffeld Street Mr. Morga stated that he lives directly across -from Mr. and Mrs. Ward. Mr. Morga is in agreement with ever}fthing,that Mrs. Ward has stated; but he only sees the top of the antenna from his residence, and would hate tc see it going any higher. Mr. Morga also stated that when they bought their residence in this neighborhood there were-no telephone poles located on the street. { Mr. Morga admitted that he was the resident that had called'the fire department when Mr. Ehlert had lit his back yard on fire. When Mr. Ehlert was erecting the antenna, Mr. Morga had walked down the street and stood at the fence line and let Mr. Ehlert know that he had made many neighbors very unhappy. Mr. Morga stated that Mr. Ehlert's response was "Oh i well." Mark Cukota 22815 Kentfeld Street Mr. Cukota lives to the north of the subject site. He is in agreement with Mrs. Ward F feels that the antenna is a visual nuisance in the area. Mr. Cukota has spoken to seve real estate professionals who specialize in Grand Terrace, and have both mentioned to him i that the antenna has and will effect the property values of houses directly surrounding it. Should there be any sort of structural problem with the antenna structure,' his four year old son plays in their back yard, and could lead to a tragedy, and he would not want to see the antenna moved to the rear of the property. Mr. Cukota is also part of an EOC team and is directly involved and is well aware of what -ham radio operators can and cannot do. The opposition of the neighborhood is not against i ham radio operators, but rather the visual nuisance that the antenna poses to the I neighborhood and also it could be a possible safety hazard should the antenna ever fall. Pictures were also submitted by Mr. Cukota to the Planning Commission with regard to the view from his back yard with the antenna as a visual. James A. Hodder 22253 Van.Buren Street Mr. Hodder has been a resident of the City for 27 years. He is a member of the EOC for j the City of Grand Terrace and helped to write the first Emergency Operations plan for the City. i i Mr. Hodder is in the hopes that the City stays friendly to all ham radio operators. Marlo Mendoza 22825 Lark Street Mr. Mendoza lives directly south from the Ehlerts. Mr. Mendoza had met Mr. Ehlert the day the antenna was erected when he came acrossed the street and introduced himself and k told Mr. Mendoza the specifics of the antenna. At that time, Mr. Mendoza had a concern with regard to the rest of the neighbors liking the antenna or disliking the antenna. Mr. Ehlert had replied that he did not care what the other neighbors felt about the antenna i because there was nothing they could do about it. Mr. Mendoza wanted to state that he has nothing against ham radio operators, but being a , i former Riverside County and Forest Service wild land firefighter, he has the same capacity ` to be a first respondent and also has the capacity to reach people,in case of an emergency, without interfering kivith anyone's view. Mr. Mc-ndoza feels that Mr. Ehlert's hobby ss outdated and there are many other ways of keeping his hobby with more modern technology. R. Todd Thall 22810 Lark Street Mr. Thall states that he lives two houses down on the same side of the Ehlerts. His concern has already been addressed by other people and feels"that the antenna is an eyesore and is concerned about his property values. J Gene LaRochelle 22820 Lark Street Mr. LaRochelle lives next door to Mr. and Mrs. Ehlert. He understands that it is the responsibility to accommodate ham radio operators, but he is concerned with an unapproved foundation with a 75 foot tower. Mr. LaRochelle had many concerns with regard to the winds in Grand Terrace and how it may affect the'neighborhood should the antenna not be stable enough to withstand such winds. Should the antenna topple over, who will be responsible for any damage that has been created. Jo Stringrreld 22273 Barton Road Ms. Stringfield does not live in the neighborhood, but she read''an article in the newspaper with regard to the hearing. She contacted the Ehlerts and had discussed the antenna with ,l ` Mr. and-Mrs. Ehlert. 1 Currently, there are 700,000 licensed ham radio operators in, the United States and 2.5 Million .all over the world. Amateur radio operators:also have their own satellite systems that may be used as well. Aid is provided through ham radio operators when there is a communication overload as well. Ms. Stringfield-is hoping that the Commission allows Mr. Ehlert to keep the antenna in the same location. Jorge M. Arreguin 12547 Crane Street Mr. Arreguin was present to support the 'neighbors who are against the antenna project. He has concerns with antenna being lifted to 75 feet: Bobbie Forbes 11850 Burns Avenue Ms. Forbes reported that she is a realtor, and that she is not the only realtor that has spoken to the neighborhood. This neighborhood is one of the most exclusive- neighborhoods in Grand Terrace besides the Honey Hills area. Ms. Forbes does have concerns with regards to the antenna. 10 Ms. Forbes feels that the antenna will deter people from purchasing in the neighborhood. i Although she is unaware how it will affect the value of the homes, she feels that it will keep j many people from purchasing when any of the homes in the area go on the market. f Ms. Forbes recalls when she sold a home in a certain area, there were CC&R's that stated that a ham radio antenna tower could not be over a certain height. Ms. Forbes feels that ham radio operation is a tremendous service, however, such an antenna should probably be in a different'neighborhood. Jeffrey McConnell 21758 Walnut Mr. McConnell wanted to know what services or operations the City of Grand Terre furnishes in case of an emergency. i Eileen Shumate 12710 Dickens Court Mrs. Shumate felt that a compromise should be made with regard to the project. I Chair Wilson closed the Public Hearing. I Commissioner Comstock reported that he lives next to two ham radio operators, and there have been times where the ham radio transmission interference has constantly interrupted i their television, radio and cell phone operations. Many of the residents who are current ham radio operators have had positive things to s. with regard to ham radio operation, however, natural disasters rarely happen in this are-.- Most of the people within the community that live in close proximity to ham radio operations feel they,are an aggravation. Commissioner Comstock read a portion of the executive summary which states, "as in not so inconsequential side benefit, moving an antenna higher will also greatly reduce the f potential of exposure to electro magnetic fields from neighboring humans and animals." The Commissioner considers the antenna to-be a health and safety issue and doesn't feel j that a service is being done to the community. The Commission as a governing body is only given a couple of options. At this point, electro magnetic fields are a health and safety concern, and.Commissioner Comstock wanted to voice his opposition to the'project. Vice Chair Addington asked. staff with regard to the photographs,that were provided by the residents. The photographs have shown that the mast has been 'raised. It appears that the a photographs illustrate that the antenna is much higher than what has been presented. Prior to this meeting, has the applicant been restricted from raising the antenna? Associate Planner Lampe replied that the applicant has not been given any approvals for the project, and has not been given a height limit. The height that was in the staff report was based on the original drawing that was submitted by the applicant. The photographs seem to show the antenna higher than what is.illustrated. The City currently does not have an ordinance which regulates ham radio operation i antennas. There is a definition that classifies this structure as an accessory structure; and i I � there are provisions in the zoning code that state an accessory structure can only,be 20 feet in height but that the Planning Commission has an option of modifying that height limit through a conditional use permit hearing, which was the basis for this hearing. Vice Chair Addington asked what the environmental assessment entails. Associate Planner Lampe replied that the environmental assessment was based upon an accessory.structure. CEQA has various categorical exemption categories'in which Class-III does allow for accessory structure.for residential uses to be categorically exempt. Chair Wilson asked if the project is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act. Associate Planner Lampe replied that the antenna is considered categorically exempt under CEQA. 'Chair Wilson asked with regard to the request, the applicant has requested the consideration for a specific height, and specific conditions in order to be able to construct the antenna even though the antenna has already been constructed.' At this point, there is an impasse that the applicant is not willing to accept the conditions. "Therefore, the only reasonable recourse that the Commission has is to continue the item until there is a consensus. Planning Director Koontz replied that if the Commission so wishes to the continue the item, research can be done with other cities that contain antenna ordinances to find out what other cities have done. We may be able to use the other Cities ordinances -and come up with conditions based upon those other ordinances. _ Vice Chair Addington asked if the fifteen conditions that have been written by staffJor thy--- antenna project become violated, does the City have the right to tell the applicant to remove the antenna and tower. Associate Planner Lampe replied that as long as the conditions,fall within the authority we have, which would be public safety and visual impacts of the project, they may be enforced without question. Chair Wilson states that if the antenna,would be classified as an accessory structure, and is allowed by a.conditional use permit, and should one-violate the conditions of the conditional use permit, then the conditional use permit can be revoked. The applicant would still be allowed to .use a ham radio, but the applicant would also be required to remove the. accessory structure, should he violate the conditional use permit. Vice Chair Addington asked what the maximum height of the antenna is at current. Hans Ehlert Applicant 22830 Lark Street Mr. Ehlert stated that the tower is made by US Tower Corporation. It is a commercially built tower made for ham radio operators and is retractable to 21- feet at the top-of the tower and can be extended to 55 feet to the top of the tower. ' I The tower has a top plate with a truss bearing which can be any length. 'In'this case, it is a 12 foot mast. The antenna is mounted two feet above the bottom of the tower. If the proposed drawing is used with the 1 inch whip that is being requested would total 75 feet. Vice Chair Addington asked the applicant if he intended 'on raising :the tower to the- maximum height. Mr. Ehlert replied that he did intend on raising the tower at certain times. ` Commissioner Comstock asked the applicant what his normal hours of operation were. Mr. Ehlert replied that it. depends on when the radio bands are open. Mostly during the early morning hours around 3:00 am to 9:00 am. i Vice Chair Addington asked staff should the Commission choose to continue the item, and continue with the recently requested height of 75 feet, how long is the public review period. Associate Planner Lampe replied that the item would have to be re-advertised. -MOTION PC-39-2005: Vice Chair Addington made a motion to Continue CUP-05-06, E-05-19 to the November 17, 2005 Planning Commission Meeting. Chair Wilson seconded the motion MOTION VOTE PC-39-2005: 4-1-0-0 Commissioner Comstock Voting No 4. SA-04-02, SA-04-03, SA-04-04, SA-04-05, TTM-04-01, SP-04-02 E-04-01: Continued Public Hearing. for an approximately 2 acre vacant area consisting of two parcels. a APPLICANT: Massaro &Welsh, Civil Engineers LOCATION: North side of De Berry Street between the Gage Canal on the west and Mt. Vernon'on the east. i j RECOMMENDATION: Re-open the Public Hearing an receive the Staff Report and any testimony, close the Hearing and Approve the Resolution calling f for the Approval of SA-04-02, SA-04=03, SA-04-04 and SA-04- 05 and Recommend to the City Council the .Resolution for Approval of TTM-04-01 (Tentative•Tract No. 16624) and the r Adoption of the Ordinance for SP-04-02. Associate Planner Lampe presented his staff report.. The item is,a two acre site located on the north side of DeBerry between the Gage Canal and Mt. Vernon Avenue. The project was heard and filed early in the year 2004. During the last year, the project has undergone Y several revisions, including the deletion of a four unit apartment building on the easterly ' end of the proposal. it In June of this year, the staff was informed that the Son of the Developer was to take over the project and intended to modify the map. for one additional lot for a total of 15 single family residences 'and to reduce the size of the proposed open space at the end of the project on the corner of Mt. Vernon and DeBerry Streets. At the meeting of July 21, 2005, the Planning Commission had expressed the opinion tF the new developer was headed in the right direction and there was a, significant improvement to the proposal. The Commission also expressed a desire to see variability in the front yard setbacks and also in the proposed street elevations. The latest proposal was received from the new-developer in August, which shows a variety of setbacks as requested by the Planning Commission. The setbacks ranged any where from 15 to 20 feet. All reviewing agencies were notified of the revised changes as made by the new developer and they had no comments. The applicant has provided revised floor plans and elevations. There will be two homes that will have the garage in the front of the residence,, because there will be no alley to the' rear of the residences. The architecture of the residences will be Spanish style with the roofs and architectural embellishments around the windows and doors and the use of earth tone colors. A preliminary landscape plan was supplied by the applicant with use of various trees and shrubbery in the front of the residences. The final landscaping plan will have to be in substantial conformance with the preliminary landscaping that has been submitted. `--� A revised version of the specific plan was also reviewed. The staff feels that the specil l- plan meets-the-minimum standards as the Government Code and can be used as the basis for the proposed ordinance for the specific plan for the project. The environmental study was completed for the project. Staff is recommending a mitigated negative declaration be adopted for this project. There was a public review period for the project beginning in June of 2005. A resolution has been prepared for the project whereas the project be recommended to the City Council to.approve and adopt the project for the tentative tract map and approve the ordinance to adopt the specific plan. Associate Planner Lampe concluded his staff report. Vice Chair Addington reported an ex parte communication with Associate Planner Lampe in which he asked several questions. Associate Planner-Lampe contacted the Engineer, in which -the engineer called Vice Chair Addington with regard to BMP of Lot 15 and pedestrian access to the pocket park. Chair Wilson opened up the-Public Hearing. Jason Karger 19236 Dandelion Court Fir. Karger thanked the Commission and is requesting that the Commission approve project. I GRAND TIRRACI Community and Economic Development (A l I f 0 t N I A Department 22795 Barton Road Grand Terrace California 92313-5295 GRAND TERRACE PLANNING COMMISSION (909) 824-6621 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING November 17, 2006 The regular meeting of the Grand Terrace Planning Commission was called to order at the Grand Terrace Civic Center, 22795 Barton Road Grand Terrace California on November 17, 2005, at 7:03 a.m., by Chairperson Doug Wilson PRESENT: Doug Wilson, Chairperson Matthew Addington, Vice Chairperson Brian Whitley, Commissioner Tom Comstock, Commissioner Robert Bidney; Commissioner Gary Koontz, Community Development Director John Lampe, Associate Planner Michelle Boustedt, Planning Secretary ABSENT: None 7:03 P:M. CONVENE SITE AND ARCHITECTURE REVIEW BOARD/ PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING . I • Pledge of Allegiance led by Commissioner Bidney Roll Call I PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: NONE ITEMS: f 1. CUP-05-06, E-05-19: Applications filed for a 75-foot high "amateur radio antenna structure" consisting of a tower-mast and "yagi" antenna. ,I APPLICANT: Hans Ehlert and Eleanor Keeling Ehlert I I f LOCATION: 22530 Lark Street (The subject site is located on the northwesterly corner of the intersection of Lark Street and Crane Street.) III A-TTACHMENT 4' RECOMMENDATION: Open the Public Hearing, take testimony, close the Public Hearing and approve the Resolution for Approval for CUP-05-06 and E=05-19 as recommended by Staff. Associate Planner Lampe greeted the Commission and presented his staff report. The matter has been continued from the Meeting of September the 15th of this year in order t re-advertise the request. The Applicant modified 'his request to raise the tower to 75 feet. This necessitated that we re-advertise,the Public Hearing for the height of the antenna and the tower mast to 75 feet. During the discussion on the 15th of September, there was also a,request on the part of the Commission that Staff review other jurisdictions to see how amateur radio facilities are regulated by other jurisdictions in the area. The Staff contacted several cities and one County, by either searching via the internet or calling the Planning Departments of the respective jurisdictions. We have prepared a table outlining some of the more salient features of the Ordinance requirements of the eleven or so cities that we referenced. Most of the ordinances that were referenced by the Applicant were from out of-State. Some were from New Jersey, Texas and Georgia. There was one ordinance from the City of Newport Beach which was included in the table that was presented to the Commission. The table was prepared to make some sense out of how various jurisdictions regulate amateur radio operations. The City of Grand Terrace is not the only city that does not have an ordinance that regulates amateur radio antenna operations. The City of Colton and Loma Linda review on a case by case basis and requires some sort of discretionary review process by their Planning-Commissions. The antenna is located on the easterly side of the corner lot-on Crane Street and Lai l Street. The antenna was erected some time around the beginning of June of this year. ,A-- stop work ordered was issued by the City's Building Department because'a building permit had not been issued for the structure. If the antenna were to be left at its present location, the Applicant feels that there will be less impact to the neighbors to the north. The tower mast does fall outside of the 15 foot required side yard that has been measured from Crane Street. However, the antenna itself which has a 32 foot boom and 36 foot antenna elements, when it is rotated to maximize the reception portions of the antenna moves and goes out into the right of way of Crane Street. The revised elevation shows the proposal for the 75 foot high tower mast: The tower structure itself can be-cranked up via a hand crank to a maximum of 55 feet. On top of the mast is a whip antenna that can go up to a maximum height of 75 feet. The Staff feels that it would be beneficial to move the antenna to the back of the house in the backyard so that the mass of the house would screen as much of the tower as possible. In some ordinances that had been researched, it was suggested that towers be .located somewhere on .the property where the visual impact to the neighborhood would be minimized to the most extent possible. There were one or two ordinances that indicated that one could not locate a tower on any yard that fronted on a street including the corner side yard .of a lot. f i Staff is also recommending that the height of the tower be somewhat restricted. The Applicant at that last hearing did point out a fact that he does•have to crank the tower up a bit to clear the chimney that is located at the west end of the house. Should the antenna be moved to the backyard, it will come closer to the rear property line. This will happen primarily when the antenna is rotated; it will'come to within three to four feet of the property line. When the antenna is at a resting,position it will be within ten feet ! of the property line. Although this recommendation is not the best, we feel that,it is a fair ! trade off in order to lessen the visual impact for the neighborhood. As part of the application, .the applicant did submit a paper that it would be better if the tower be raised as much as possible to minimize the potential effect of interference with the surrounding electronics in the neighborhood. Staff feels that the Applicant has r-'- submitted sufficient proof as to whether raising the tower will decrease,any interferen with the neighbors electronic components such as televisions, radios, etc. i A recommendation was also made with regard to landscaping-the rear yard that would be r designed to screen as much,as possible the view of the tower. Under the Environmental Quality Act, this project is, classified as a Categorical Exemption Class 3 accessory structure which is permitted for residential uses. At the last meeting, there were questions with regard to the height of the existing mast antenna. Upon field investigations, the Staff feels that the existing height'has not changed. Given the height of the house, the top of the roof is about twenty feet above the pad elevation, the entire height at the top of the/antenna mast is about 35 feet. j In conclusion, the Staff has recommended that the .tower be moved to the rear of the hOL j in the backyard along with sufficient landscaping to screen the antenna as much as 1 possible. Associate Planner Lampe concluded his staff report. Commissioner Bidney: Is the antenna a retractable antenna, and when not in use, what will the height of the antenna will be? Associate Planner Lampe: It would be retracted down to the minimum height which has been shown on the elevation slide. Just above the roof line. It will be a little over 30 feet. To my understanding, that's the retracted height. Commissioner Whitley: The picture that was.illustrated in the presentation shows the height of 35 feet. Is the antenna in a partially raised position as illustrated? i Associate Planner Lampe: I am under the assumption that the antenna has been raised five feet from its,resting position. Commissioner Comstock: In looking at the section of the antenna where it says 30 feet, does the antenna hang over the fence line into the sidewalk area. Associate Planner Lampe: It's a little hard to tell in the photo, because of the perspective, but looking at a different shot of-it, it looks to me like its not over the fence line. Vice Chair Addington: When the antenna is rotated will it pass over the public,right of way. i � - Associate Planner Lampe: When the antenna is rotated; it will go- over slightly into the public right of way. Vice Chair Addington: In the antenna's- current location, when rotated, does the antenna extend-into any private property fences.-And in the location that the Staff is proposing, wi'' the antenna extend into any private property fences. Associate Planner Lampe: No. Chair Wilson: At the current time there is no ordinance that governs the right of way encroachment less than 15 feet. In other words,- should the fire department-come through the area and the antenna should overhang into the public right of way, will there be an "~ ingress egress problem. Planning Director Koontz: The antenna when rotated certain ways can encroach into the public right-of way but not the street right of way. So we have the parkway area and it does look like it can encroach into the parkway. Chair Wilson invited the Applicant to speak. Eleanor Ehlert--Applicant 22830 Lark Street I wanted to start out, it seems like when.we'were here the last time, the members didn't have the complete understanding of the process that we went through 'before we put the antenna up,,and so I have included with you -a copy-- of the emails that our attorneys assured us gave.us the right to,go-up with the antenna. If you look at the top it says, 'we have finished reviewing the�City's Zoning Code, Section 1873.090 requires a Conditional Use_Permit for among other things, radios other towers exceeding the height, limits of the R1 Zone which is more than 35 feet.' And then it goes.on, it.says, We.propose the tower at 55; we needed to apply for a permit. We decided at that point to stay at 35 feet. That's a decision we made, and we had contacted the City in January. We didn't get a response in February, we sent an email, we got a response back, they were looking, they still couldn't find anything that covered our particular problem, I again sent--another email- and they said they still didn't have a response, but a couple of days later they got back with this letter., That's when we purchased the equipment; the tower, made the plans for the cement, and you will notice I also included the analysis of the structure, pictures, the last page will have pictures of the foundation, where the cement was poured where we followed the guidelines for the State of California and .I want you to know that we,did crank up the antenna to show a picture of-the difference just strictly to take the pictures. One of the other concerns at the last meeting Was if there was interference, what the FCC does. When-there is interference, the FCC would send us a,letter after a complaint with the name, address and,phone number of the person that's complaining, we' would call them and get in touch, and work out issues with them. As opposed to going through that, I sent a letter to everyone that might be affected that 27 or 24 houses and gave them a copy with our phone number, both numbers that they can call, pbviously we're there, if we're usin l the antenna, we have bur cell phones available and our mouse phone, and would be more than happy to accommodate any interference problems so that they don't have to wait for i j the police to come or the FCC to contact us, they could just phone us, 'it's that easy. So everyone did get a copy of this. The last thing I would like to read into the minutes is that we looked at the recommendation and we have a response to that, so I would like to read that. i Mrs. Ehlert read a copy of a letter that was addressed to the Planning Commissioners and j the neighbors in the area. j Mark'Cukota 22815 KentFeld Street My property is located directly behind the property.. My family and I have some serio concerns about this antenna, especially if it is approved as Staff has recommended direc__,- behind the property because we are located to the point where it would be behind the house. If the structural integrity of this tower was ever compromised, I have a four year old son that plays in that back yard every day and if any part of that antenna was to fall, it could cause catastrophic injuries. We have a major concern about this antenna behind that particular property. We also have concerns about the radio frequency power fields that this antenna may radiate which could correspondingly cause negative health effects of those living in the neighborhood. I spoke with a certified industrial hygienist who has informed me that the ' negative health effects of this radiation really hasn't been determined by scientific study, but there are some Scandinavians that have proven that some of these power fields could have a negative health effect on those that live nearby. Also, the structure is a visual nuisance and an eyesore in the neighborhood. The citizens . our articular community are characterized b having a high ride of ownership in our P tY Y g 9 P � P properties and so forth. The website for the City of Grand Terrace states that we have, and counts our beautiful neighborhoods and so forth, and those of us that live in''this community try to keep it a nice place to live. I have spoken to several real estate professionals also that deal with properties in this particular area, and they have 'said that this antenna will i probably have negative property value on the street of those of the street that are effected. I know we have one.home for sale right now directly across the street. I have a friend I work with who lives in Corona, who I've told about the property,-and he drove by last week and he said that he would not consider making an offer as long as that tower is erected across the street. So the only concern with maintaining and increasing the property values here in the City, these are the kind of issues that we will have to look at and turn down. I have also talked to several ham radio operators who I work with, and they say that they communicate with others around the world with a much smaller less intrusive antenna than this, so I'm not saying not to accommodate ham radio licensed operators and so forth, I'm just saying to accommodate their use, you might want to think about improving a smaller antenna instead of one quite this large, I'm really concerned about the construction of this antenna. The high winds that come through this area, and if that tower was ever be compromised to fall, it, would cause jcatastrophic injury and it effects the health and safety of the neighborhood. Thank you. ; ; Lindy Ward 22825 Kentfleld Street The house directly behind the Ehlert's is our home. If you look at the landscaping in the photo right there, all of those palm trees and the trees around there, those were landscaped by us. We have put significant amount of money into our landscape in our-bac yard and I have photos which I have brought last time and I brought some more also where at the 35 foot height, you can.see what it looks-like from our back yard. Mrs. Ward passed out photos to the Commission that illustrated the tower from the vantage point of her back yard. Like Mr. Cukota had mentioned, if that,tower is moved behind the Ehlert's home, (I heard the comment by Mr. Lampe that it would be a compromise,) I'm sorry that is not a compromise, that is a worse case scenario for us. The property line that you spoke about of putting within three feet, that's my property line, that is right over my swimming pool. have brought photos of our swimming pool is right on the other side of that wooden fence that you see. I also have young children. My husband and I bought this home for the aesthetic quality of the back yard. I have with me two different petitions, we only went to the most immediate neighbors and- I would like to say that I have 18 signatures here. Not one neighbor around this home was not eager to jump out and sign this petition. We have two petitions, one that basically says that we are asking. We realize that there are regulations that allow ham radio operators to have antennas; however, we do have a statement from. our legislation that says a City or County which may not restrict antennas or support structures of amateur radio operators of two heights of 70 .feet or lower unless the restriction. is-necessary to.,., ,} achieve a clearly defined-health, safety or aesthetic objective of the City or.County. We a: asking that this City because we do not have a proposal that limits any of these heights ana- we've got petitions here singed and many more that are out that'are not here this evening, we have many more out from neighbors and if I need to I will get them from the citizens of Grand Terrace, as well as every neighbor that I went to, and every that everyone else went to said if you want me to I will take these out to get more signatures asking-the City Council of this City to adopt an ordinance that will not allow this monstrosity in every back yard, once you allow this one. Every back yard can now have one of those because you are setting'a precedent. I have a double fold here, because I just recently purchased some more property in Grand Terrace.,My husband and I purchased an acre and a half and we would like to build, so now we're looking at if you adopt this ordinance, we're not just looking at one home we have invested in this City,,we're looking at basically our savings are invested in this city and what the ordinances,are that you allow to go up with these towers and allow...I have lived in-Grand Terrace basically all of my life, and we have stayed here because of the aesthetic quality. We've got one house up for sale, my understanding is that a gentleman came back two or three times and finally, like Mr.,,Cukota said, a different person just sat there and questioned what is that thing in that man's yard. We-would like.to again, build in this City, which means that my house will have to-go on the market or I have family will have to live there. Regardless, we're talking young children in the back and your talking three feet from my fence line is going to be a 75 foot structure that could, you could not guarantee me it will never break, or s portion of it will not break.off. j 6 i 'The only thing I could liken it to is I drove down. onto Cooley Ranch recently and I drove around, and the only thing I could liken it to is the huge McDonalds sign or the huge Denney's sign down on Cooley Ranch down off of Washington. I thought how would be people like that in their back yard. You're talking about three feet from my property line. Gene La Rochelle ! 22820 Lark Street The City of Poway, California had a ham radio antenna issue that went on for four years for a fifty foot tower, now as far as I know; the property down there is acreage. They finally settled with the guy for a 34 foot tower. Now we're talking acreage here; we're not talking + about a corner lot with an encroachment in a public right of,way and if something happen to that, it's liable to fall over and hurt a citizen or block the street. This brings me to another subject that was talked about earlier. RF contamination or radiation to the individuals that live around there. The University of Texas has a whole formulary on their web site of the safe distance from a radio tower, and since Mr. Hans has already admitted that the outbreak of outside federal law over 100 watts last meeting, which that's all he is allowed to is 100 watts, I think he said 150 watts or 200 watts at the last meeting, that says what he was operating at and his licensed is only to be 100 watts. Go to the FCC and take a look, unless you have some special exemption. I was at the web site today. It brings me to the number three. It would be nice if he landscaped his lawn. It would be a civic improvement. I think we should take a bond on that also,, and that it stays watered. Thank.you. Bobbie Forbes 11850 Burns Avenue ; I.am the listing agent for the house on Crane Street. That homeowner is ,in -the audience tonight. One of the first people that came to the first open house-that I did works for the military in Corona and within about 60 seconds of being in the house, he asked about the tower. He did look at that property three times that day; I took him out and showed him other property, and this I will have to assume from his conversation that he was not j interested in their beautiful home because of the tower. He wanted to know what else was allowed if that would be allowed in the neighborhood. We have had two open houses there and I have probably had three out of about 15 people come and make comments about the tower. And most everyone else that has been to the open house does live in town, so some people are somewhat aware of it because of the news. She made a comment about having the power lines near her house. When you buy a house, you see the power lines; they are already there, so you know what you're buying. When someone ups a tower such as this, they didn't have any choice, they didn't buy the house with it there, now when Tim and Lori's house sells and we do get to sell it, those people will make the decision that the tower is there so. they ',will know. I guess that's basically all that I have to -say, but I know that there is talk in town about this situation. I have talked to some other ham radio antenna operators in town that have' their house for sale and they don't have such a big tower and her comment to me was even :though she's a harp radio operator, she would not be happy living near that particular tower because of it's j size. Thant; you. i Chair Wilson closed the Public Hearing and brought the item back to the Commission. Commissioner Comstock: Mr: Chairman, I will move that we deny CUP-06-06.and E-05-19 based upon aesthetics and health and safety'issues. Vice Chair Addington: I will second that but I-would like to add to the denial regarding the letter of September 11th written by. Hans and Eleanor Ehlert where they are refusing to accept six conditions of approval for this project. Chair Wilson: Alright, we have a move for a denial and a second. I would like to open it up for discussion and have a couple of questions of staff.. Structural integrity, I do not see as an issue here as long we've got a building and safety department that reviews the engineering involved in this particular structure. It is an accessory structure classed by Staff and as long as it is structurally sound, it can be approved thus by a review of an engineer qualified to do that, I believe that this could not-be classified as an issue. I would like to understand Staffs understanding. Planning Director Koontz: You have the_right make any findings that you see fit. In this case, we did -send the structural calculations over to Willdan for their review. We did provide a copy and Mr. Addington has reviewed it. They had a lot of comments on it and in their opinion, the way it looks, the existing foundation is not"sound and does not meet the standards, so other than that, we can run it through building and safety and they can plan check things. Is anything 100% guaranteed to be structurally safe? No. So we cannot guarantee that if it is approved that there's absolutely nothing that can possibly'happen to it. Chair Wilson: That's understandable, I .do know that we :have requirements for buildings. } accessory structures within the City, those items would have to be met, and would have f \ reviewed by an engineer. If you elected to approve the project, there are definitely conditions in there that will be going back to,building and safety.. Chair Wilson: What is the height4hat is now being applied for now because I see.what we are.looking at is a resolution and I do also note Vice Chair Addington's discussion about the. heights that were in the other letter, at a point, it was brought forth with the understanding that 35 foot height, the discussion from the applicant was that they appeared to be settled with a 35 foot height, but I am not still positive as to what height we are talking about. Associate Planner Lampe: Mr. Chairman, if I may, remember at the last meeting of September the 15th, we had. to continue that because the Applicant came in with this drawing showing the height of the tower mast and a whip antenna on top of 75 feet. So to answer your question, it is; my understanding what we're considering tonight. is the Applicant's request as relayed to the Planning Commission at the last meeting was to have ability to raise the tower mast and,whip antenna on top to a total height of 75-feet. Chair Wilson: It is your" understanding that the Applicant is not willing to accept the Conditions the-way they stand. Associate Planner Lampe: Yes. Chair Wilson: My understanding, and you can clarify this for us, is that an accessor structure, although [ see the legislation in relation tc ham radio operation and so on, the ' local agency does have some jurisdiction in relation to how the accessory structure is placed. I Planning Director Koontz: Yes. That's our understanding. Chair Wilson: Does anyone else have anything that they would like to discuss. Vice Chair ,Addington: One question,9 q the review letter on the structural review of the tower, has that been returned to the applicant or the applicant's engineer for review. I Associate Planner Lampe: This was not a formal plan check; we.did not include that in the package that went to the Planning Commission so we didn't return it to the'Applicant. Planning Director Koontz: At the last meeting, one of the issues was brought up was th— the foundation was engineered to standards. We just took what was, given for those standards and asked our plan checkers is this correct, do these meet the standards. They came back and said that there were several things that don't meet the standards or things that are not here that we still need. i Vice Chair Addington: And after reviewing it, I .can.understand why they have concerns. Chair Wilson: Realistically though, we could actually condition any standards in relation to i this-project. f Planning Director Koontz: Yes. Chair Wilson: I think that there has been a discussion in relation Io public works or basically-, the antenna. I think the applicant mentioned something about.overhead wires and things i so far as power transformers nearby. And I would agree that there are unsightly overhead lines by the way, most power companies that they would much rather have the overhead 7 lines rather than the underground lines although 'I am aware of the fact that most jurisdictions carry an udnergrounding ordinance just because of that, because of the unsightliness of overhead wiring and so that's because of the fact that the overhead ! facilities exist, there's not really a justification for the unsightliness but rather that its grandfathered in because it existed ,prior to those ordinances and now there are uddergrounding ordinances that are meant to take .care of those kinds of circumstances. My most serious question is did we get a chance to take a look at the CC&R's for this development. Planning Director Koontz: I don't believe that we could find those.; Chair Wilson: The reason why I asked that is because ordinarily in CC&R's or within the community itself in so far as heights of buildings, they are usually specified within the tentative tract conditions and ordinarily the reason why those heights are specified, say 25 to 28 feet maximum height because there is a concern about what a project is going to look like if you had for an example three story buildings within a two story scenario. Those height limitations are there for a reason. They apply to the housing and therefore, by association apply to accessory structures as well. So one could easily determine that an accessory structure should not be any higher or within.a reasonable amount say 10% of the height of the building itself. I would guess that standard heights for two story units do riot exceed at least in the time frame that these houses were built, 28 feet. What's being asked '� tonight is for us to approve a, use that is say to 4 fleet higher in his- resolutibn, but on top of that the Applicant-is not in agreement with this height requirement, so. I believe we have a real disparity in relation-, to what can be allowed within this residential neighborhood whether it's an antenna, which is classified as an accessory structure or a building unit. want to bring that forward because there are no other further comments, I would like to request a vote. Commissioner Whitley: One other question. There was a comment made about other ham radio antennas in the community and relative to,the size. Does Staff know what other antennas there are and a sense of approximate size and why this one might be larger, if that is in fact the case? Associate Planner. Lampe: We don't have a list of ham radio operators in-town, but I do know at least one person who came to the last meeting and identified herself as a ham radio operator. I was looking at her property and I could not find anything that looked like the subject matter that's before you this.evening, 'so I think it depends-somewhat on what wave lengths you're transmitting .on and receiving on what size of an antenna you have. We called a couple of so called experts to get advice as the size,of this Yagi antenna and what could be approved that could be just as efficient as what is proposed this evening. We were told that based on the wave length that Mr. Ehlert has chosen to transmit and receive on, this-would be the most efficient antenna. So to answer your question, we do not have a list of the operators in town but we do know that within 1,500 to 1,800 feet there is an existing tower antenna the individual has told us that he has put it up before the City Incorporated and the antenna is a non conforming use. This individual has let his FCC license lapse and .he does not use it for ham radio purposes but it is a structure somewhat similar to what's proposed this evening. Chair Wilson: I would like to clarify one other item that was brought up by, the Applicant was.that there was quite a bit of notice, and I do know that we are busy but there was quit( a bit of notice in relation to this particular project. However, a unilateral-notice at that does not constitute a permit to be able to construct. That is the reason why this item is before us at this point. Associate Planner Lampe: Are you talking about the original discussions we had with Mr. Ehlert about the tower antenna? Chair Wilson: Yes. Associate Planner Lampe: It was my understanding that it was going to be 55 feet high and that's what I said in the email to him. I don't recall him ever saying that it was going to be 35 feet or less. And the quotes clearly states that a structure over 35 feet is- going to require a Conditional Use Permit which 'requires a public hearing before the planning Commission. Chair Wilson: Well my understanding John, on top of that, is that it also requires a building permit. - - Associate Planner Lampe: Right. And in our discussions, I didn't repeat that in the email, but in our discussions, I told him that we did not have current ordinance that regulated ham radio and we were going to have to sit and think about it and figure it out, but under any circumstances he was going to be required to have a building permit for this,1 told him the" no matter what the Zoning e�titlementf was. 10 INAUDIBLE i Chair Wilson: Excuse me. We are done with the Public Hearing. Thank you. Associate Planner Lampe: I told him he would have to have a building permit. Chair Wilson: Okay. I thought that was clear to begin with. Any other further discussion. Commissioner Bidney: I didn't get over to the building department to ask them, but in all of the other cities that I have ever done any work in, they require a building permit for $50.00 Dollars worth of construction, and asking the Planning Commission those kinds of questions is not proper really because you need a building permit if you do a flat sidewalk, you need a building permit if it's over $50.00 dollars or $100.00 dollars, and that's usua__ what happens in most cases, and here we've got a 5 X 5 foot square five foot tall structu.- of concrete, we're talking about a pretty good size contract with at least five yards of concrete in it, and anybody would know that if it is a structure that size that you should have a permit or go to the building department and find out what you need. And the other thing that I am asking staff is that they do not want to comply with any of the Conditions that we have, is that correct? Associate Planner Lampe: They have indicated that they are not happy with our recommendation to put it in the back of the property and restrict the height to what is less than what they are requesting. The last hearing, they said they objected to the requirement for the landscaping in the back for additional visual screening in the backyard, so it is my understanding that they object to the preponderance of,the conditions. Chair Wilson: Thank you. I would like to clarify the motion. Planning,Secretary Boustedt: I have it written for aesthetics, health and safety, and Vice Chair Addington added the letter dated 9/11, refusal to accept conditions of approval. Chair Wilson: Do we have any further discussion. MOTION PC-44-2005: Commissioner Comstock made a motion to deny CUP-06-06 and E-05-19 based upon aesthetics, health and safety issues. Vice Chair Addington seconded the motion and wanted to include his denial based upon the letter dated September 11, 2005, that was written by the Applicants refusing to accept six conditions of approval for the project.

Relocating the amateur radio antenna structure to the back of the main single residence family home may not be the best solution for a number of reasons. a) The tower and antenna will be in plain view of several residents on Kentfield Street b) The elements of the antenna,when it is turning,will come with in 3-1/2 feet to the adjacent property lines of two residents on Kentfieki Street At the present location only one property line is with'in 6 feet (See attached drawings). c) In the retracted position of the tower,the antenna will interfere with the chimney of the house. Item 6. Exhibit A-3 only specified a minimum height of the antenna structure acceptable to the conditions stated in your E-Mail from 03-01-2005.A revised drawing specifying the maximum height is attached.That was the reason for the application and fees paid; over 35 feet to insure sufficient amateur service communication. Item 7. See Item 6. I Item 8. The tower is a sell-supporting tower, no guy-lines are required. Wires from the tower are I DC low voltage control lines for the antenna, rotor and antenna switch. Item 9. This can not be done on any location of the property. (See attached drawings) Item 13. This is an unreasonable and ineffective request and can not be accepted as a condition for approval of CUP-05-06. I Please let us know if any more information is required. i I i Han or Ehlert Attachments: FYI Antenna Height and Communications Effectiveness Drawing of current location Drawing of proposed location Drawing with maximum height ATTACHMENT 6 I • I ,J .I FYI A Federal judge has relied on PRB-1 to void a local height limitation as applied to an Amateur Radio Antenna. K2LE, had brought suit in U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York to overturn denial by the Village of Sands Point of his application for building permit for an 86- tower, retractable to 23 feet in height In granting partial summary judgment in K2LE's favor, District Judge Jacob Mischler found PRB-1 to be a proper exercise of FCC authority and found that the Village was precluded from applying its 25 foot height limitation on accessory building which include antenna towers to K2LE's proposed antenna. This court test of PRB-1 represents; a local zoning ordinance as applied to an Amateur Radio antenna has been declared invalid on the basis of PRB-1. The Federal Communications Commission restricts the height of antenna structures for a licensed Amateur Radio Operator to 200 feet above ground. The Radio Amateurs Guide to Government Regulations, Part 97(Rules and Regulations). 97.15 Station antenna structures: (a)Owners of certain antenna structures more than 60.96 meters(200 feet)above ground level at the side or located near a public use airport must notify the Federal Aviation Administration and register with the Commission as required by Part 17 of this chapter. (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, a station antenna structure may be erected at heights and dimensions sufficient to accommodate amateur service communications. [State and local regulations of station antenna structure must not preclude amateur service communications. Rather it must reasonably accommodate such communications and must constitute the minimum practicable regulation to accomplish the state or local authority's legitimate purpose. PRB-1]. Against the advice from the FCC several local governments have an Ordinance regarding height limitations for Amateur Radio Antennas structures.

Some contacts may be local in nature,while others may be literally halfway around the world.Hams use a variety of internationally allocated frequencies to accomplish their communications. Except for local contacts,which are primarily made on Very High and Ultra High Frequencies(VHF and UHF),communicating between any two points on the earth rely primarily on high-frequency(HF)signals propagating through the ionosphere.The earth's ionosphere:acts much like a mirror at heights of about 150 miles.The vertical angle of radiation of a signal launched from an antenna is one of the key factors determining effective communication distances.The ability to communicate over long distances generally requires a low radiation angle,meaning that an antenna must be placed high above the ground in terms of the wavelength of the radio wave being transmitted A beam We of antenna at a height of 70 feet or more will provide greatly superior p mfiwmance over dw ateae aaftm at 35 feet,all other factors being.equri.A height of 120 feet or even higher will provide even more advantages for long-distance communications.To a distant receiving station,a transmitting antenna at 120 feet will provide the effect of approximately 8 to 10 times more transmitting power than the same antenna at 35 feet Depending on the level of noise and interference,this performance disparity is often enough to mean the difference between making distant radio contact with fairly reliable signals,and being unable to make distant contact at all. Radio Amateum have a well-deserved reputation for providing vital communications in 'emergency situations, such as in the aftermath of a severe icestorm,a hurricane or an earthquake. 1 Short-range communications at VHF or UHF frequencies also require sufficient antenna heights J above the local terrain to ensure that the antenna has a clear horizon In terms of safety and aesthetic considerations,it might seem intuitively reasonable for a planning board to want to restrict antenna installations to low heights.However,such height restrictions often prove very counterproductive and frustrating to all parties involved.If an amateur is restricted to low antenna heights,say 35 feet,he will suffer from poor transmission of his own signals as well as poor reception of distant signals. In an attempt to compensate on the transmitting side(he can't do anything about the poor reception problem),he might boost his transmitted power,say from 150 watts to 1,500 watts,the maximum legal limit.This ten-fold increase in power will very significantly increase the potential for interference to telephones, televisions,VCRs and audio equipment in his neighborhood Instead,if the antenna can be moved farther away from neighboring electronic devices— putting it higher,in other words--this will gseatly reduce the likelihood of interference,which decreases at the inverse square of the distance.For example,doubling the distance reduces the potential for interference by 75%.As a further benefit,a large antenna doesn't look anywhere near as large at 120 feet as it does close-up at 35 feet As a not-so-inconsequential side benefit,moving an antenna higher will also greatly reduce the potential of exposure to electromagnetic fields for neighboring human and animals. Interference and RF exposure standards have been thoroughly covered in recently enacted Federal Regulations.

The City may petition the Superior Court for the appointment of a receiver over a substandard property if the property owner has failed to comply with the terms of a notice or order to repair issued by the City. The petition seeks to authorize the receiver to rehabilitate the property, borrow funds as necessary to pay for the rehabilitation and other receivership costs, and secure any,. incurred debt with a recorded super-priority lien on the property. The petition seeks a preliminary injunction that would order the property owner and other y interested parties to immediately turn over.possession of the property to the receiver, prohibit the owner and other-interested parties from-collecting income from the property, interfering with the receiver, or encumbering-the property during the receivership. The petition seeks,to prohibit existing mortgages from undertaking foreclosure proceedings against the property during the receivership. Appeal process.
