Fire Report No fire report due to call out. Action: Receive and file  NEW BUSINESS CON2014-13 Bill Longnecker, Metropolitan Area Planning Department, presented a request for a Conditional Use for an Accessory Apartment. The applicant’s request was for a Conditional Use for an “accessory apartment” on property zoned SF-5 Single-family Residential, the site is located on the east side of North Greenwich Road and south of 21st Street North. The property is currently developed with a single-family residence and two accessory structures on the 6.3-acre site. As shown on the site plan, the applicant proposes to demolish the existing residence and accessory structures and replace with a new residential structure, accessory apartment structure and an L-shaped accessory building. The existing drive access from Greenwich Road will remain and the drive lane will be modified to provide access to the new structures. DAB ?: This property has a very long drive; has that been addressed? A: Yes, in the plat. DAB ?: What is the difference between an “apartment” and an “accessory apartment?” A: An accessory apartment will be subordinate to the main structure and cannot be sold off separately from the property. They are typically used for elderly family members, but there is nothing to prevent it from being rented out. Longnecker stated MAPD has received no protests to the request. Nazir Jesri (Weddle) made a motion to recommend approval of the Conditional Use request for an Accessory Apartment subject to the three listed conditions. Motion passed 6-0. CUP2014-0003 Bill Longnecker, Metropolitan Area Planning Department, presented a request for an Amendment to the Sierra Pointe Community Unit Plan DP-322 to allow a wireless communication facility and to reconfigure Parcel 11. The current zoning is LC Limited Commercial and the proposed use is for a 150-foot wireless, galvanized steel, monopole cell tower and equipment The applicant, AT&T Mobility, is seeking an amendment to the permitted uses on the undeveloped LC Limited Commercial zoned Sierra Pointe Community Unit Plan (CUP) DP-322 to allow a wireless communication facility with a 150-foot tall, wireless, galvanized steel, monopole tower. The wireless facility will be located on a 100-foot (x) 100-foot lease site. The applicant proposes to create Parcel 12 out of the 100-foot (x) 100-foot lease site located on the southwest corner of Parcel 11. Parcel 12, the lease site, is located approximately 1,500 feet west of 127th Street East and 780 feet south of Pawnee Road. Per the amended Wireless Communication Facility Ordinance, new undisguised ground-mounted wireless communication facilities over 120 feet in height in the LC zoning district may be considered as a Conditional Use on a site by site analysis. Longnecker reported that both the applicant and Planning staff contacted USD 259 two and a half months ago because they wanted them to know about the tower for co-location purposes. As of the DAB meeting, neither the applicant nor MAPD had heard anything back from USD 259 regarding the proposed cell tower. DAB members had questions about co-location and height compatibility, which Longnecker answered. Max Weddle (Knott) made a motion to recommend approval of the amendment subject to the 11 listed conditions. Motion passed 6-0. 2 Updates, Issues, and Reports Council Member Meitzner:  Thanked Blain Knott for his service on the Golf Committee and stated how much his service has been appreciated.  Thanked Dave Babich for his service on the CDBG committee and the Library Board.
