C. DISCUSSION:
. The applicant proposes to flush mount four (4) transmission reception antennas and
two microwave dishes to an existing baseball field light pole. At this time the
applicant will install three out of the four, the remaining antenna will be installed in
the future when more capacity is needed. The applicant proposes to paint the ground
mounted equipment green to match the existing baseball outfield fence and the
antennas gray/silver to match the existing baseball field light pole. Landscaping will
be used to screen the ground mounted equipment.
. The applicant will enter into an Option and Easement Agreement with the Joint
School District No. 02 granting the applicant permission to construct the proposed
use. The applicant should provide a recorded copy of the agreement to the City prior
to the issuance of a zoning certificate.

approval of a conditional use), has made the following conclusions:
The proposed conditional use;
A. Will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as established in Section 8-2-3 of

meet the requirements noted herein;
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood
uses since the antennae will be flush mounted to the existing light pole,
which will intermingle with the existing lighting hardware. Therefore, the
proposed antennae should blend in with the existing hardware minimizing
the visual impact and not further disturb the neighborhood.
E. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as highways,
streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,
water and sewer and schools; or that the persons or agencies responsible
