I just love these notices I get from the city only hours away from important
events!
Today's mail had a real gem. It's a report to the planning commission
prepared by staff, for the public hearing concerning my tower permit
application TOMORROW NIGHT.
The staff recommends the project be "denied without prejudice".
I thought the study session went very well. I thought the city attorney made
it clear that denial was really not an option. Oh well.
They cite incompatibility with the existing neighborhood as their sole reason.
They suggest that the applicant pursue less obtrusive antennas such as "flat
panels, small dishes, and shorter monopoles without cross elements" (whatever
that means). The applicant could re-apply and go through this whole 6 month
process all over again! Cheers!
I'm still going to go tomorrow night and give it my best shot, but with the
staff recommendation against me, I don't hold out much hope. Very little
actually.
I'll be smiling as usual.
Anyone ever hear of a commission ruling the opposite way from staff
recommendation?
