Staff Analysis: The applicant, Alltel, is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the placement of a 12 foot by 16 foot equipment building at the northeast corner of the existing KSSN office building at 8114 Cantrell Road (zoned C-3). The equipment building is in association with nine (9) antennas which will be placed on the KSSN office building. The equipment building will stand ten (10) feet in height.

The final plat of this lot (Lot 1, Fox Glenn Subdivision S -227-B) shows a 40 foot building line parallel to the north property line. The proposed equipment building is located within this 40 foot setback. Therefore, the applicant will need to file a one -lot replat of this property which will amend the building line.

Each antenna will be four (4) feet tall, one (1) foot wide, and one (1) foot deep. The antennas will be the same color as the roof, which will allow them to blend into the building.
