Council allows radio broadcasting use at Twin Eagles PUD but bars towers on site
Summary
A PUD amendment for Twin Eagles was approved to permit a radio broadcasting station with a specific restriction: no broadcasting tower will be permitted on the property. The amendment also reduces a front‑yard setback and eases some architectural material restrictions.
The council approved amendments to the Twin Eagles plan‑unit development that allow three specific changes: a reduction in the front‑yard setback from 50 to 40 feet (from 100th Street), adding a radio broadcasting station as a permitted use in the PUD, and modifying architectural requirements to allow certain concealed‑fastener metal panels while keeping the building predominantly brick.
Community Development Director Rose Schroeder noted that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval with an explicit restriction that no broadcasting tower be built on the site. Schroeder said the applicant supplied a statement clarifying they do not intend to construct a broadcasting tower; the council’s adopted amendment includes that restriction.
Schroeder explained the architectural amendment intends to update older PUD language that previously barred all metal paneling; modern metal panels with concealed fasteners and panels made to look like wood were cited in the proposed elevations. The change was framed as adapting historic PUD language to contemporary building materials while maintaining a brick‑dominant façade.
Council approved the PUD amendment consistent with the Planning & Zoning recommendation and required that the no‑tower condition be included in the record. The applicant will proceed with standard site‑plan review and building permit processes under the amended PUD standards.
