TWIN CITY HWY, TRACT 116-D, 3.667 ACRES, UNITED INSULTATION SALES, PORT ARTHUR, JEFFERSON COUNTY, TEXAS DATE: 05/22/09 BACKGROUND: Verizon Wireless is seeking approval for construction of a 160-foot-tall monopole cellular telephone communication tower on leased property located at 6401 S. Twin City Highway. The proposed site is on United Insulation Sales Fabrication, Inc. (Blackhawk Specialty) property owned by Mike and Kathy Brau. The cellular tower will be surrounded by an eight-foot chain link fence enclosing a 65-foot by 65-foot area that will also contain a 12-foot by 28-foot prefab aggregate stone building that will house the tower's electronic switching equipment and backup generator. This property is located in a Heavy Commercial zoned district. The zoning for the adjacent property is HC to the north, Industrial to the south, Twin City Highway and the city limit boundary with Port Neches to the east, and Lake Arthur in a Single Family zoned district to the west. The land use includes Heavy Commercial to the north, Industrial to the south, Lake Arthur to the west and the highway to the immediate east and Single Family in Port Neches beyond that. Agent - Soutex Surveyors Applicant -Verizon Wireless RECOMMENDATION: Planning staff has no objections to this request for a Specific Use Permit. The distances separating the tower and the nearest residential structures are all much greater than the height of the tower, so in the worst case scenario, no residences would be endangered by the tower's falling. BUDGETARY/FISCAL EFFECT: None 1 STAFFING/EMPLOYEE EFFECT: None SUMMARY: This proposed cell tower location appears to meet all the requirements for anear- perfect tower site because of its relative isolation from any residential structures. Staff recommends approval of the request. 2 ~~ C ~_~ ~~ ~_ O 0 g N Q ~_ ~y Qg® 1 ~ ~, ~ Th, ~ ~ j Ij5 a3 ~ - -_,~ ~ Q4 ,<~ ~r -' ,' ~ , , ISM a , ~ "~_-~ - .- ~ i ~ ~. ti ~ o r r" T 53 as ~~, ~j Tip y,~ P ~ 9 8 $w TR ~~"'~ R a ~ 1 j~\ jj as ~`° ~.. ~~°~°" - ~ ,2E \ ~ ~ ^' ,a~ 4, J ^' I / , G! ~ p J4 ~C, ~J I ~ ~ '~f ~ ,'T y ~B °8 tix' ~1~/ ! ` i:L & ~P ~Cy~E\S ~ ~ ~zJ iC ,~ c .i~~~ ce Q~ 96 _ Jam" lam}' o ~~ 4 r'~'~~^° `~' ~ ~°Zg 8 / Ss ~ = /// Z ~, 3 J 4? 0.
