DOCKET NO. 95-48
RE: SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT #1083 FOR
ERECTION OF FIVE (5) PRIVATE RADIO TOWERS (140' TALL) IN THE
A (AGRICULTURAL) ZONE DISTRICT - WILSON
A public hearing was conducted on July 26, 1995, at 10:00 a.m., with the following present:
Commissioner Dale K. Hall, Chairman
Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer, Pro-Tem
Commissioner George E. Baxter - EXCUSED
Commissioner Constance L. Harbert - EXCUSED
Commissioner W. H. Webster
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller
Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison
Planning Department representative, Todd Hodges
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated June 19, 1995, and duly published June 29, 1995,
in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was conducted on July 12, 1995, to consider the request
of David and Barbara Wilson for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for
erection of five (5) private radio towers (140' tall) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. At said
hearing on July 12, 1995, said matter was continued to July 26, 1995, at which time Lee Morrison,
Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record and notified the applicants that only three
Commissioners are present and three affirmative votes are required for approval; therefore, the
applicant has the option to request a continuance. David Wilson, applicant, requested the Board
proceed. Todd Hodges, Planning Department representative, presented to the Board an aerial
map indicating the alignment of the flight path and a letter from the FAA stating since the towers
will be only 140 feet in height and the only airport that is close is private, notifying the FAA is not
required. Mr. Wilson referred to the previous hearing at which pilots were concerned about safety
and obstruction and presented three overheads for the record as Exhibit C: "Take -Off Angle vs.
Distance to Trees at End of Runway"; "Take -Off Angle vs. Distance to Proposed Radio Masts";
"See Photograph A". He also presented Photograph A: "Aircraft had just taken off and was flying
parallel to WCR 33 (due north)", and Photographs B and C: "Pilots obviously not worried about
wind shear or engine failure that day!" for the record as Exhibit D. Mr. Wilson noted the pilots rarely
fly on the landing course and they fly at very low heights. He suggested painting the towers red
and white; however, lighting would not be beneficial since the planes do not fly at night. Mr. Wilson
stated he is entitled to use the air space over his own property, and he cannot relocate the towers
because of an easement. Cole Kregel, owner of the property on which the private airstrip is
located, stated he, too, contacted the FAA, which indicated it had no control over the airport since
it is private; however, the FAA stated the towers would not be desirable. He stated the towers will
be a hazard to the agricultural planes when fully loaded and requested they be moved to lessen
hazard. The Board noted Mr. Wilson can paint the towers but cannot move them due to an
easement and questioned the need to fly over Mr. Wilson's property. Mr. Kregel stated that is the
most desirable take -off path to the north. John Brosnahan of LaSalle, Colorado, stated he, too, has
a Special Review Permit for towers on his property, which is in close proximity to crop dusters. He
stated there were similar concerns with his Permit; however, the only effect he noticed was they
do not fly over his property anymore. Mr. Brosnahan noted the planes are highly maneuverable,
and Mr. Wilson is both maintaining agriculture and providing for his hobby. He voiced his support
for the proposal and reiterated no ill effects have resulted from his towers. Responding to
questions from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Wilson confirmed all Conditions of Approval and
Development Standards are acceptable, and Mr. Hodges confirmed Condition of Approval #5a
could be deleted since Mr. Wilson has submitted the Individual Sewage Disposal System evaluation
which satisfies the Condition. Commissioner Kirkmeyer suggested an additional Condition of
Approval or Development Standard requiring painting of towers, to which Mr. Wilson also agreed.
After further discussion, Commissioner Webster moved to approve the request of David and
Barbara Wilson for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for erection of five
(5) private radio towers (140' tall) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, based on the
recommendations of the Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards as entered into the record including the deletion of Condition
of Approval #5a and the addition of Development Standard #13 requiring painting the towers. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and it carried unanimously.
