coverage and capacity to areas which cannot be adequately served by
locating the tower in a less sensitive area.
C. Towers
or structures supporting telecommunication antenna or otherwise conforming

general criteria shall be considered in determining the appropriateness
of sites for a communication tower when considering a conditional

will be designed and arranged to accommodate future multiple users.

a reflector so selected that, acting together, the light beam is controlled
so as not to be directed across any adjacent property line.
C. Any use
established after the effective date of this ordinance shall comply
with all of the performance standards herein established.
D. The City
Manager shall have the power to refuse a building permit or Certificate
of Occupancy when in his opinion the applicant’s request could

standards herein established. In such case, the City Manager shall
request, and the applicant shall furnish, at his expenses, sufficient
detailed information to show conformity with the applicable standards

for due consideration the proposed violation(s). If after consultation
between the City Council and the owner of the use or operation alleged
to be in violation with these standards, and if an appropriate solution

shall cause to be placed on the first available agenda of the City
Council for due consideration the proposed violation(s). The City
Council may employ the use of professional qualified experts to conduct
a detailed investigation, report and recommendation thereon. Following
receipt of the report, the City Council shall conduct a public hearing
on the case, in the same manner and procedure as that employed for
a zoning change. After considering all testimony submitted at the
public hearing, the City Council shall make the final determination
whether or not a violation exists. Costs incurred by the City in the

be reimbursed by the violator if a violation is found to exist, otherwise

City Council’s findings and decisions through the Courts, as
established by state statutes.
