Zoning Committee:
Land Use and Zoning
Committee Report
The
Land Use and Zoning Committee met on Wednesday, June 21 to discuss application
by Cingular Wireless to install 6, 18-foot cellular antennas on top of the water
tower at Parkway Plaza. Present were committee members Tim Pauken and Todd
Zimmerman. Law Director Sheilah McAdams, and representatives of application,
Sean Craig, Chuck Sallah, Ramy Eidi, Jerry Parker and Dan Graves.
Discussion
took place regarding the coverage zone, and it was questioned as to whether any
other sites were explored that might provide better coverage. Nothing in the
“search” area was available or a good candidate according to Sean Craig. The
Parkway Plaza location itself is outside of the “search” area, but would
provide adequate coverage.
The
height of the antennas was also discussed. It was learned that a 10-foot
separation requirement by the FCC, to prevent interference with existing
providers’ antennas, was the reason behind the height of the proposed
antennas.
And
finally, the number of antenna on top of the tower was becoming an issue. With
the twelve antennas already allowed for Alltel, and 6 proposed by Cingular,
bringing the total to 18, we felt that was too many antennas.
It was agreed to however by the owners of Parkway, that there would be no
further requests for this type of amendment.
It
was unanimously agreed to by this committee, and moved that we accept the
recommendation of the Planning Commission to amend the Special Use Permit
allowing installation of the 6 antennas on the water tower at Parkway Plaza;
incorporate in this amendment the condition that no more antennas be allowed on
this tower as agreed to by the owner and Cingular; and that legislation be
prepared.
Respectfully submitted,
Timothy L. Pauken, Chair
Todd Zimmerman, Member
Mr.
PAUKEN moved the report be accepted in its entirety, to accept the
recommendation of the Planning Commission, and that the necessary legislation be
prepared to amend the SUP allowing installation of the six antennas on the water
tower at Parkway Plaza provided that no additional requests for additional
antennas shall be received. Roll
call: Barlos, Brainard, Carr,
Coyle, Pauken and Zimmerman (6) voting yea; Buehrer (1) voting nay.

CODE
Committee Report
The
Code Committee met on Thursday, July 13, 2006 to discuss the Tree Commission’s
Recommendation regarding ash trees and the proposed Maumee Charter Amendment
regarding continuity of government during a state of emergency. Present at the meeting were committee members Barlos, Buehrer
and Zimmerman and Law Director Sheilah McAdams, Assistant Finance Director Linda
Wilker and Tom Dibling from the Tree Commission.
We
started with a discussion of the ash tree recommendations from the Maumee City
Tree Commission. The committee
heard from Mr. Dibling about the present danger of infestation by the Emerald
Ash Borer of the ash trees in Maumee. Because
of the fact that the city has many areas where ash trees are the predominant
trees, the commission has made several recommendations regarding removal and
replacement of these trees to prevent deforesting of certain areas of the city. The committee unanimously recommends placing the ash tree on
the list of undesirable street trees so no new ash trees will be planted.
We also recommend that new commercial and manufacturing developments
within the city be advised not to plant ash trees.
The recommendation by the Tree Commission to begin the gradual removal
and replacement of ash trees should be referred to the Service Department for
their input on implementation.
The
committee then had a discussion about the proposed charter amendment, put
together and recommended by our Law Director.
We went through the proposed language (attached) and discussed certain
questions including, what constitutes an emergency, appointing designees and the
prevention of abuse of this policy. After
this discussion, the recommendation was made to refer the proposed City of
Maumee Charter Amendment regarding the continuity of government during a state
of emergency to the Charter Review Commission for their review.
Respectfully submitted,
Jenny
Barlos, Chair
Todd Zimmerman, Member
