RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-09-15 | 3 | Staff has gone through the draft Long-Term Park Use Policy and feels that the proposal falls within all the criteria and that the proposal is consistent with the criteria. It does not displace any park programs, effect use of active park space; have any detrimental impact on the use of the tennis courts or use of the grounds. This also generates revenue for the Recreation and Park Department and replaces the old lights which need to be replaced at the tennis courts. Commissioner Reeves asked how much it would cost the Recreation and Park Department to replace the tennis court lights. AD Lillard stated that it would cost approximately $25,000 to replace the three old lights. The lights on that side of the tennis courts are the original lights and one light pole has fallen before. Regardless of accepting the proposal or not the lights will need to be replaced in the near future. Commissioner Reeves asked if the creation of a tower was subject to FCC regulations. Mr. Knopf stated yes. The sites have to comply with FCC regulations and the study/evaluation that the City received is well within the FCC regulations. Commissioner Reeves stated that FCC regulations would supercede any City, County, or State restrictions so that any private entity that gets permission from the FCC to build a tower would not have to go through the approval process that the Commission/City is doing now. In fact, there is no ability to restrict a private citizen from putting up a cell tower if the FCC approves it. If the Commission does not approve this proposal any other entity (e.g., church, school, private business, etc.) could go ahead and build a tower right next door to a park without any approval from the Commission or City. The Commission would not be able stop it. Mr. Knopf stated that the proposal is consistent with the bequest by the Krusi family. Deeds were reviewed and the stipulation in the Deed was that if the City were to use the premises for public park and playground purposes and for other municipal purposes which will not materially interfere with the operation of the area as a public park or playground. The City's evaluation of this proposal is that it will not effect/interfere with use of the park or playground. Chair Ingram asked if Mr. Knopf was reading from the actual Krusi Deed. Mr. Knopf stated yes. C. Request to Install Sprint Cell Tower at Mastick Senior Center in the Corner of Parking Lot - (Discussion/Action Item) Bruce Knopf, Redevelopment Manager, presented to the Commission the proposal for installing a Sprint Cell Tower at Mastick Senior Center. Mr. Knopf stated that Sprint proposes to lease approximately 400 square feet within the southwest corner of the Mastick Senior Center parking lot to install a 45-foot high, slim line monopole with new parking lot lights, and with antenna panels hidden within the top five feet of the monopole. Equipment would be located within a fenced enclosure, with fencing 3 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
