Council took a brief recess from 7:23 p.m. until 7:28 p.m. B. PUBLIC HEARINGS: B.1 PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION, DISCUSISON AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 70 FOOT TALL COMMERCIAL CELL TOWER ANTENNA, WHERE 35 FEET IS ALLOWED, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION TO BE LOCATED ON 0.06+/- OF AN ACRE LEASE SPACE, OUT OF A PARENT TRACT OF 3.75 +/- ACRE IN BASTROP WEST COMMERCIAL SECTION ONE, LOT 2, BLOCK A, IN AN AREA ZONED C2, COMMERCIAL BEING LOCATED IN THE CITY LIMITS OF BASTROP, TEXAS. Planning and Development Director, Melissa McCollum addressed the Council. Ms. McCollum stated this leased space is generally located behind Bastrop Marketplace (Subway, Clint’s Liquor, Little Caesars), in an area zoned C-2, Commercial Heavy. Ms. McCollum stated the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this item at their regularly scheduled meeting on August 25, 2011 and City Council consideration of this item has been postponed and re-notified four (4) times, due to various circumstances. Ms. McCollum stated notifications of the hearing on the Conditional Use Permit have been provided to surrounding property owners six (6) times, for both Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council meetings. Ms. McCollum stated the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on August 25, 2011 and voted 4-2 to recommend denial of the Conditional Use Permit. Ms. McCollum stated staff recommends denial of the Conditional Use Permit and believes that the proposed 70 feet height is not consistent with the existing shopping center area and that the height of the cell tower does not meet the Conditional Use Permit requirements or the additional standards applied to “Special Height Regulations.” Ms. McCollum stated the proposed cell tower is the third design that the applicant Beb Francis, The Francis Law Firm, has submitted to staff for review. Ms. McCollum stated the Planning and Zoning Commission had not seen the updated information provided by the applicant on pages 73 to 83 of the Agenda Packet. Ms. McCollum stated called the Council’s attention to a PowerPoint presentation showing the location of the property on a map and City regulations and codes regarding the requested Conditional Use Permit. Beb Francis thanked the City staff for all their work regarding the cell tower. Mr. Francis called the Council’s attention to the PowerPoint presentation showing the location. Mr. Francis stated they have met all setback requirements of the City’s Code and they will be providing a six feet chain link fence with green slats and additional landscaping around the perimeter of the property. Mr. Francis stated the proposed site is C-2, Commercial zoning and commercial antenna are allowed by right but limited to 35 feet in height. Mr. Francis stated they are requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a height of 70 feet. Scott Vonryan with Capital Telecom addressed the Council. Mr. Vonryan called the Council’s attention to the PowerPoint presentation showing existing structures in the proposed area and photo simulations of how the 70 feet tower would look from various locations. Mr. Vonryan stated the 70 feet tower is much less obtrusive than what is already in the area. Mr. Vonryan called the Council’s attention to Page 74 of the Agenda packet which shows that according to the projections, if the new site is not deployed, by January 2013 approximately 3,700 calls won’t go through during the busiest hour of the day. Mr. Vonryan stated there will also be data issues. Mr. Vonryan explained that each tower has a certain limited capacity of calls and when it reached that capacity calls are “blocked” or do not go through. Mr. Francis stated AT & T was concerned about the busy hours of a day and calls not going through. Mr. Francis stated a good example of this was during the Bastrop County Complex Fire. Mr. Francis stated included in the Agenda packet is a letter from Valmont with a sealed engineering stamp giving specifics on the tower and that the tower is designed to collapse upon itself if that were to ever happen. Mr. Francis stated this is a very important project and he respectfully requests the City Council grant the Conditional Use Permit. Joe Beal asked Mr. Francis the following question: “In all of your analysis in trying to solve service problems, did you determine, given the City’s restraints, was this the best place to put this structure from a service standpoint?” Mr. Francis stated he could absolutely assure Mr. Beal that “Yes, this is the best place” and many months went into looking at locations for the antenna tower. Kay Garcia McAnally stated in the beginning she was very much against the tower, but after working at the command center during the fire, she is absolutely adamant that the City have enough capacity to reach loved ones during emergencies. Ken Kesselus asked Ms. McCollum to summarize why the Board of Adjustment failed to grant a variance and the reasons the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends denial of the request, and why staff is opposed to the Conditional Use Permit. Ms. McCollum stated the Board of Adjustment was presented with a request for a Variance to the City’s Code. The request was for a 90 feet in height pine tree looking tower. Ms. McCollum stated the City’s Code contains very strict rules on when a Variance can be granted and the Board of Adjustment felt the request presented did not meet the requirements to grant a Variance. Ms. McCollum stated that a Conditional Use Permit was then requested and the Planning and Zoning Commission votes 4-2 to recommend denial of the Conditional Use Permit. Ms. McCollum stated staff recommends denial because the proposed cell tower is not harmonious and compatible with the surrounding uses, and does not meet the height, bulk and scale relationship with surrounding uses and structures. Discussion was held among Council, Mr. Francis and Ms. McCollum. Dave Quinn, Executive Director of Bastrop Economic Development Corporation, addressed the Council. Mr. Quinn stated he does know that capacity for any infrastructure in a City is very important to economic growth in the City. Mr. Quinn stated he thinks a lot of our economy is built on doing business on the go. Mr. Quinn stated he thinks it is critical to allow investment and allow this to happen. Bonnie Coffey addressed the Council. Ms. Coffey stated she is a business owner and a volunteer for the Bastrop Main Street Program. Ms. Coffey stated the Bastrop Main Street Program is working on becoming a Certified Entrepreneur Ready Community. Ms. Coffey stated the Main Street Program is also working on a telephone application. Ms. Coffey encouraged Council to think about the people coming to Bastrop and that we need to provide them the infrastructure they need. Debbie Moore addressed the Council. Ms. Moore stated that anyone who was in the City on September 4, 2011 when the fire began knows what it was like trying to tell people to get out and not being able to get phone calls to go through. Ms. Moore stated that God willing next time we will be prepared and this antenna is something we need. Kay Wesson addressed the Council. Ms. Wesson stated she had two issues: 1) Development of the Jenkins property, the developer has asked her to say that they are not in opposition to this; and 2) As a business owner in that hot area, and the increase in data, she wants it to work. Kristi Koch addressed the Council. Ms. Koch stated as a member of the Bastrop Planning and Zoning Commission, the largest reason the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denial of this request was that the applicant had not shown a need and the additional information presented to Council tonight shows that need. Ms. Koch stated she thinks that with the new information provided the Planning and Zoning Commission might have voted differently. Ms. Koch stated she personally supports the request for a Conditional Use Permit. Julie Hart commended the City staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission for the work put in on this. Ms. Hart stated the City’s Ordinance regarding this is antiquated and the Council needs to make a change in the Ordinance. Ms. Hart stated she agreed with Mr. Quinn and that communications is important to the City’s future development. Ms. Hart stated she is excited that the applicant wants to make this investment and move the City forward. Mayor Orr declared the public hearing closed. B.2 CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE FIRST READING OF A PROPOSED ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BASTROP, TEXAS TO GRANT A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 70 FOOT TALL COMMERCIAL CELL TOWER ANTENNA, WHERE 35 FEET IS ALLOWED, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION TO BE LOCATED IN 0.06 +/- OF AN ACRE LEASE SPACE, OUT OF A PARENT TRCT OF 3.75 +/- ACRES IN BASTROP WEST COMMERCIAL SECTION ONE, LOTE 2, BLOCK A IN AN AREA ZONED C2, COMMERCIAL BEING LOCATED IN THE CITY LIMITS OF BASTROP, TEXAS; SETTING OUT CONDITIONS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mayor Orr stated in accord with Bastrop Code of Ordinances, Section 10.8 (E)(1), the City has received written objections from 20% or more of the area of the adjacent landowners to the property on which the requested Conditional Use Permit is applicable, which written objections comply with the provisions of Section 211.006 of the Local Government Code of the State of Texas. Mayor Orr stated accordingly, the City Council will now vote, in accord with the standards of Section 10.8 (E)(1), to determine whether the City Council will approve the Conditional Use Permit requested by Capital Telecom Acquisition, LLC, or deny same. Joe Beal moved to approve the Ordinance on First Reading granting a Conditional Use Permit and that the Ordinance be placed on the Consent Agenda for the Second Reading. Seconded by Kay Garcia McAnally and carried unanimously. Mr. Beal stated the reason he made the motion to approve, even though the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommended denial, he believes that this service is needed for the City of Bastrop citizens, there is no alternative place because this is the best place from a service standpoint and he is comfortable with this solution. Ken Kesselus stated he would bet money that the City is behind the curve on cell towers and the Council is going to have to look at the Ordinance regarding such. Mr. Kesselus stated he is more concerned that two City Boards, staff and 20% of adjacent landowners objected to the request. Kay Garcia McAnally stated in this case the Council needs to consider all the people, not just the 20% surrounding the location. Ms. Garcia McAnally stated it should be looked at from the fact that it will benefit the entire City rather than the few it will touch. Bill Peterson stated he agreed with Mr. Beal and Ms. Garcia McAnally. Mayor Orr stated when he moved to Bastrop in 1992 he was dependent on communications and Bastrop worked. Mayor Orr stated he can assure you if the City has an area where people are driving through and their phones drop calls, they are going to keep on driving. Ken Kesselus moved the Council defer this motion until the second meeting in February, defer to the City Manager, Mike Talbot to do research on possibilities of solving our technical problems in some other way and also taking a look at, as comprehensive as you can, of what he might recommend, or staff might recommend in terms of Ordinance changes, in particularly if Mike were to find a different location that would work. Motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Talbot assures Mr. Kesselus and Council that staff has spent a considerable amount of time on this and he assures Council will see a new Ordinance regarding cell towers. Mr. Talbot stated he was in favor of the Conditional Use Permit being approved. Mr. Kesselus ask Mr. Talbot what were his reasons for being in favor of the Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Talbot stated he did not know how many times he has studied the pictures and he thinks the tower is compatible with surrounding uses. Mr. Talbot stated he has talked to an engineer in Dallas who has worked both sides of the issue of cell towers and this engineer told him that big companies just do not go out and arbitrarily pick a site because they know they would draw the wrath of Council. Mr. Talbot stated this engineer has offered to assist him with the development of an ordinance addressing cell towers. Mr. Talbot stated this engineer also provided him with an Attorney General opinion on this. Teresa Valdez called the roll for the main motion made by Mr. Beal and seconded by Ms. Garcia McAnally. FOR MOTION: Joe Beal, Kay Garcia McAnally, Julie Hart, Bill Peterson and Ken Kesselus. Motion carried. Council took a brief recess from 8:55 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. B.3 CITIZEN COMMENTS. There were no citizen comments. C. OLD BUSINESS D. NEW BUSINESS ORDINANCES FOR FIRST READING: ORDINANCES AND OTHER ITEMS ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION AND/OR ACTION: D.1 CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON ACCEPTANCE OF MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDING OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT. Finance Director, Karla Stovall presented the monthly Financial Report, for period ending December 31, 2011, and the Quarterly Investment Report . Ms. Stovall reviewed the reports. Brief discussion was held among Council and Ms. Stovall. Joe Beal moved to accept the monthly Financial Report and the Quarterly Investment Report. Seconded by Bill Peterson and carried unanimously. D.2 CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION CONCERNING AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGE TO PROCEED FORWARD WITH A PIPE BURSTING PROJECT FOR THE SANITARY WASTEWATER MAIN RUNNING FROM COVERT CHEVROLET RUNNING EAST ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF STATE HIGHWAY 71 SERVICE ROAD AND THEN RUNNING SOUTHWARD TO THE GENERAL AREA BETWEEN COMFORT SUITES/TACO BELL. City Manager, Mike Talbot stated the current wastewater main running from Covert Chevrolet eastwardly on the south side of State Highway 71 service road and then southwardly to the general area of Comfort Suites/Taco Bell and connecting to 15-inch gravity main is a 10-inch wastewater main. Mr. Talbot stated this year’s Capital Improvement Program calls for “pipe bursting” this line to a 12-inch main. Mr. Talbot stated after reviewing this wastewater main and considering the growth occurring in west Bastrop, the City staff and I are proposing increasing the capacity of this line from 12-inch main to pipe bursting to a 15-inch main. Mr. Talbot stated increasing the main this additional size will provide for abundance of “Wastewater Collection Capacity” in the western quadrant of the City. Mr. Talbot stated the original budget for this project is $518,318.00 and increasing the size of the main from 12-inch to 15-inch will cost an additional $336,682.00 for a total cost of $852,000.00. Mr. Talbot stated the only reason the City was able to consider increasing the size of this main is that the Well H project came in approximately $300,000.00 below budget. Mr. Talbot stated he also contacted Mickey Fishbeck and asked her to run the City’s “Water and Wastewater Rate Model” to see if the additional cost of this wastewater project would significantly impact the proposed future rates increases for the City’s Five Year Capital Improvements Program. Mr. Talbot stated as noted in Ms. Fishbeck’s memo included in the Agenda packet, it will only have a minor impact on the rates. Mr. Talbot stated Gene Kruppa with BEFCO Engineering is present tonight to answer any questions that Council may have. Gene Kruppa addressed the Council. Mr. Kruppa stated included in the Agenda packet is the report from BEFCO Engineering. Mr. Kruppa stated the increase in size basically enhances flow and an 81% increase in flow. Mr. Kruppa stated that if the money is available he definitely recommends doing this. Discussion was held among Council. Joe Beal moved to authorize the City Manager to proceed with the pipe bursting project based on the engineering report and the financial analysis. Seconded by Bill Peterson and carried unanimously. D.3 CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON APPOINTMENT BY MAYOR AND CONFIRMATION BY COUNCIL OF MEMBER TO THE CENTRAL TEXAS CLEAN AIR COALITION OF THE CAPITAL AREA COUNCIL OF COUVERNMENTS.
