7. Staff Analysis:
The applicant, Little Rock Wastewater Utility, is
requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the
construction of a 58 foot tall antenna mast within this
R-2 zoned Little Rock Wastewater Pump Station. This
antenna will be used for radio telemetry of information
from and to the existing sanitary sewer pump station.
The pump station consists of a large manhole with
submersible pumps inside. Outside the manhole are
Pole -mounted controls which regulate the pumps.
The proposed 58 foot antenna will be located within the
Little Rock Wastewater Utility easement between the
Warren House/Warren Terrace Apartment complex and the
single family residences which are located along the
east side of Ludington Dr. There is an existing twenty
(20) foot antenna that will be removed when the new
