Casey asked for clarification of where this tree planting was going to take place <br />`, and was advised that it had been approved for the Town entry at <br />Arastradero. The grant had been approved specifically for this project. <br />MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Hubbard, seconded by Casey <br />and passed unanimously to adopt Resolution #16-95 ordering the <br />performance of certain work. <br />5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />5.1 Concept of Farmers' Market at Town Hall (continued to April 5, 1995 <br />Council Meeting) <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />6.1 Request for interpretation of Zoning Code Section 10-1.703(h)(2) <br />allowing conditional use permit for public services (request by Nextel <br />to erect an antenna) <br />Staff reported that Nextel had come before the Planning Commission with a request <br />for a conditional use permit. However, staff had determined that Nextel was not a <br />public utility and therefore did not fall under the allowed uses for a conditional use <br />permit. Nextel withdrew their application. Upon further review it was not clear <br />whether a public service use was also required to be a public utility and Nextel was <br />before Council for an interpretation of the code. <br />Laura Albright, representing Nextel, addressed Council with their request that they <br />be designated a public service use which would allow them to apply for a <br />conditional use permit. Ms. Albright stated that Nextel provided dispatch radio <br />service and with their digital system they are able to provide other services in <br />addition to the dispatch service. She outlined the safety features and benefits of <br />their product including voice messaging, mobile telephones, data/fax <br />communications, fraud protection, private communications and efficiency. Public <br />benefits included economic, no pollution, safety of users and public and ability to <br />provide emergency communications to the Town. Ms. Albright noted that Santa <br />Clara, San Mateo and Marin Counties had designated Nextel a public service use. <br />Presently Nextel was discussing a site on the Fenwick property. The antenna would <br />not be visible, there would be an underground vault and it would be their only site <br />in Town. <br />Council discussed the presentation made by Ms. Albright and the background <br />information she had provided on Nextel. They also discussed what sites would be <br />appropriate for such structures noting that GTE was on the water district land and of <br />what benefit such structures could be to the Town. <br />March I, 1995 <br />
