now they have available "subscribers loop electronics" which allows them to
utilize existing cables in the area, which reduces the company's costs and
minimizes disruption in the area. Saunders said the equipment requires
enclosure from the elements, and they plan to use a pre -cast concrete building
with exposed aggregate, that they propose landscaping and a privacy fence. He
said the building would be 10' x 20' located on a 40' x 40' parcel of land
which would allow a service vehicle to drive in and turn around.
David Williams moved approval of the conditional use. The motion was seconded
by Ernest Jacks and passed, 8-0, with Cullers absent. David Williams asked
that the minutes reflect the Planning Commission's appreciation to the company
for landscaping and fencing, which is beyond the requirements for the community.
The fifth item on the addendum to the
agenda was a request for a variance
from the minimum lot size requirement
for a first lot split of property
located on the southwest corner of
