The subject property is currently developed with a single family home. Staff encourages the applicant to propose some alternative designs that would fit in more with the Stealth Technology or Facility that is defined in the definition section of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) where it talks about design technology that blends the wireless communication facility into the surrounding environment.

Page 2 of 3 ENGINEERING We had discussed a temporary drive off Krenek Tap Road and orienting the Cell Tower Site to the west to allow for future access from the west. This would have benefited the remaining land when it develops regarding driveway spacing and access. We had hoped that by addressing these issues on the front end of this project that it would assist any future development of the property by allowing for more flexibility in driveway placement. As submitted, the location of future driveways will be very limited. 1. Although the Site Plan is currently being reviewed, the plans cannot be stamped until the property is a platted lot. 2. As submitted, the concrete driveway is not temporary. You will need to meet driveway construction criteria. A minimum 12' wide drive and curb returns with radii allowed by the City are required. 3. Show that ADA requirements will be met with the driveway. Reviewed by: Carol Cotter Date: March 3, 2004 ELECTRICAL 1. Developer installs conduit per city specs and design. 2.
