548- 6229).
Item No. 1 Minutes of October 17, 2013
The following minor corrections to the draft minutes are suggested
Page 4, paragraph 3: "Jim Mosher expressed concerns that the current code has strong
protections against the impact of facilities on public rp ivate as well as private public views. He
referenced his written comments relative to the process for problematic applications and
protecting private interests. He added that staff is supposed to receive visual simulations of
projects and that the Commission City Council is supposed to consider the views from both
public areas and private residences. He felt that the Commission should be able to deny a
project based on obstruction of both public and private views."
Page 4, paragraph 7: "Commissioner Brown noted concerns with setting P °^�G
precedent with protecting private views."
Page 5, paragraph 3: "He added that it is burdensome to perform and that wireless facilities
provide emergencies emergency service providers with its frequency so that interference will
not occur."
