Summary

On a consent vote the Planning Commission approved a tower modification application (WCFCU 25-1-22) at 109 Cedar Street that increases tower height by 10 feet (approved variance from 150 to 160 feet) and modifies a stealth canister; and it approved a replat (LS25120) at 109 Ooma Street into three lots contingent on plan-development approval.

The Hot Springs City Planning Commission approved two consent-agenda items by unanimous roll call: a wireless communications tower modification at 109 Cedar Street (WCFCU 25-1-22) and a minor land subdivision replat at 109 Ooma Street (LS25120).

Director Selman presented the first item, WKFCU 25-1-22, describing a conditional-use application to increase an existing wireless-communications tower height by 10 feet and to modify the stealth canister that houses equipment. Staff said the applicant submitted a Federal Aviation Administration determination of no hazard to air navigation and requested a variance to increase tower height from 150 feet to 160 feet to correct coverage issues. Staff read the recommendation for approval and four conditions into the record: 1) modification shall be made in strict accordance with approved site and construction plans; 2) tower modifications must comply with the FAA determination of no hazard and any conditions it contains; 3) approve the height variance to 160 feet to the top of the appurtenance; and 4) obtain required construction permits prior to commencing work. The recommendation specified a canister diameter increase to 48 inches and a length of approximately 22.5 inches.

The second consent item, LS25120, is a minor replat at 109 Ooma Street to reconfigure Lots 11 and 12 (Block 10, Bush Park Addition) into three parcels (Lots 11R, 12R and 13). Staff reported that LS25120 is contingent upon approval of plan development application PD 25-119 (required Board approval) and listed conditions including that Board of Directors approval is required prior to execution and recording of the final plat and that the plat must be filed with the Garland County Circuit Clerk's Office.
