AGENDA
Commissioner Parvin commented that she had concerns that
the current AT &T antenna was very visible from Villa del
Arroyo Mobilehome Park.
Michael Blackwell, Compass Telecom Services, 17670
Skypark Circle, #102, Irvine, CA representing Meticom
requested verification of Condition Nos. 12, 17, and 19.
John Libiez responded that Condition Nos. 12, 17 and 19
were standard conditions for a Conditional Use Permit,
and that staff would meet with the applicant to discuss
the details. He also stated Condition No. 19 pertains to
condition compliance costs, the amount of money needed
to meet all conditions, and to receive an occupancy
permit.
Mr. Blackwell, requested clarification on Condition No.
23, the requirement to provide space for an additional
City antenna free of charge if required by the City. Mr.
Blackwell said that it felt wrong, and that this might
interfere with other antennas. Mr. Blackwell requested
further clarification, and how will the space be
utilized, and if the City had space from other approved
carriers, why do you need Compass?
John Libiez responded that if th
for a future communications
reserve a location for such an
other easement. He also stated
to install any system that
applicant's.
e City needed an antenna
system, it desires to
antenna similar to any
the City would not wish
interfered with the
Mr. Blackwell asked if there was any cost to the
applicant to provide the "free antenna space."
Mr. Blackwell also questioned Condition No. 26, a
requirement concerning grading during the rainy season.
Mr. Blackwell said no grading would take place, and the
site would remain geological stable, and that there was
no justification for an erosion control requirement.
Walter Brown, City Engineer, responded that this was a
City /County mandate, to the degree required is
determined on the ground disturbance, i.e. trenches,
spread earthy materials into the watershed, and is
typically a standard condition.

Commissioner Parvin questioned if the applicant would
provide trees to cover the existing AT &T antenna. Mr.
Blackwell said, legally he could not interfere with the
AT &T antenna without causing a problem, but it may be
possible to work with AT &T for a solution.
Commissioner Parvin questioned if service was provided
to customers in the Moorpark area, and where the nearest
Compass's antenna was located. Mr. Blackwell stated it
was a site located in Simi Valley, and was Metrocom
deployed.
Chairman DiCecco asked if the applicant had the
opportunity to review the report and conditions with
staff. Mr. Blackwell responded he had received the
report on Friday, 4:30 p.m.
Commissioner Haller questioned if the applicant was
satisfied with the staff response concerning Condition
Nos. 12, 17, and 19. Mr. Blackwell, said he would like
explanation of other fees.
The public hearing closed at 7:43 p.m.
Commissioner Landis said he had concerns about the
feasibility and safety, and height of the fence. He also
stated he was satisfied that the conditions cover the
concerns of fencing and visual impacts. Regarding the
applicant's concern over Condition No. 23, concerning
access of easement to allow the City to place an
antenna, this is something that prior applicants have
agreed to and that he supports staffs recommendation.
Commissioner Haller, stated he was satisfied with staff
responses to concerns with Condition No. 23, Item 5 City
Engineer, and watershed, and would like staff to provide
wording that addresses the technical difficulty.
Commissioner Parvin stated regarding Condition No. 23,
standard fire, emergency and general communications are
going to broad ban wireless. She also stated visual
screening of all antennas is needed and anyone who wants
to come into our City must have a requirement attached
that allows the City to gain antenna sites.
Commissioner Otto, said he had visited the site
yesterday by jeep, that the site was visible 200 yards

from freeway, and the 60' antenna barely is seen.
Regarding Condition No. 23, he asked how many other
applicants has the City made this same requirement of
shared antennas?
Mr. Libiez responded, Waterworks facility, Carlsberg,
and Toll Bros. are future site possibilities, and that
we have perhaps six or seven currently. Commissioner
Otto questioned if the City had exercised the
opportunity to have an antenna. Mr. Libiez responded no.
Motion: Commissioner Landis moved and Commissioner
Otto seconded a motion to approve Resolution
No. PC- 2000 -397 recommending approval of
Conditional Use Permit No. 2000 -03 on the
