HomeMy WebLinkAboutA004 - Memo to Council dated November 27, 1996, special meeting MEMO CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
CITY OF AMES
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bob Kindred, Assistant City Manager
DATE: November 27, 1996
SUBJECT: Proposed Lease Agreements with Western Wireless PCS Corporation
Attached are copies of background materials prepared for last night's Council meeting which remain
relevant for the public hearing on these proposed leases.
For your information, after last night's Council meeting members of the Parks and Recreation
Commission expressed a desire to meet prior to next Tuesday's Council meeting to review Western's
request to place a wireless tower at Homewood Golf Course. A special meeting has been set for this
purpose for Monday at 4:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Neighbors in the immediate area of
Homewood will also be invited to attend. We expect that the Parks and Recreation Commission will
have a recommendation for the City Council by your meeting Tuesday evening.
If you are interested in reviewing the visual impact of the tower proposed in Western's Z.B.A.
application for the church property at 24th &Hoover, that information is on file in the City Clerk's
office. It is noteworthy that the bell tower shown on that application is 198 feet high, in contrast to
the 130-ft. tower proposed at Homewood.
Should you have other questions regarding this item, please contact us.
