The following types of associated ancillary equipment are not included in the calculation of equipment volume: electric meter, concealment elements, telecommunications demarcation box, grounding equipment, power transfer switch, cut-off switch, vertical cable runs for the connection of power and other services.Stealth facility means any wireless telecommunications facility which is designed to blend into the surrounding environment (including other similar facilities) or support structure by means of screening, concealment, design (such as monopole), or camouflage (including being of comparable color to any support structure and/or to the immediate environment where applicable). Substantial change has the same meaning as provided in 47 C.F.R. § 1.40001(b)(7), as may be

amended, which defines that term differently based on the particular facility type and location. For clarity, the definition in this chapter organizes the FCC’s criteria and thresholds for a substantial change according to the facility type and location.1. For towers outside the public rights-of-way, a substantial change occurs when:

a. The proposed co-location or modification increases the overall height more than ten percent (10%) or the height of one additional antenna array not to exceed twenty (20) feet (whichever is greater); or

b. The proposed co-location or modification increases the width more than twenty (20) feet fromthe edge of the wireless tower or the width of the wireless tower at the level of the appurtenance (whichever is greater); or

c. The proposed co-location or modification involves the installation of more than the standard number of equipment cabinets for the technology involved, not to exceed four; or

d. The proposed co-location or modification involves excavation outside the current boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the wireless tower, including any access or utilityeasements currently related to the site.

1. For towers in the public rights-of-way and for all base stations, a substantial change occurs when:

a. The proposed co-location or modification increases the overall height more than ten percent (10%) or ten (10) feet (whichever is greater); or

b. The proposed co-location or modification increases the width more than six (6) feet from the edge of the wireless tower or base station; or

c. The proposed co-location or modification involves the installation of any new equipment cabinets on the ground when there are no existing ground-mounted equipment cabinets; or

d. The proposed co-location or modification involves the installation of any new ground-mounted equipment cabinets that are ten percent (10%) larger in height or volume than any existing ground-mounted equipment cabinets; or

e. The proposed co-location or modification involves excavation outside the area in proximity tothe structure and other transmission equipment already deployed on the ground.

2. In addition, for all towers and base stations wherever located, a substantial change occurs when:

a. The proposed co-location or modification would defeat the existing concealment elements of the support structure as determined by the City Engineer; or

b. The proposed co-location or modification violates a prior condition of approval; provided, however, that the co-location need not comply with any prior condition of approval related to height, width, equipment cabinets or excavation that is inconsistent with the thresholds for a substantial change described in this section.

3. As to all measurements set forth herein, the following principles shall govern:a. The thresholds for height increases are cumulative limits.b. For sites with horizontally separated deployments, the cumulative limit is measured from the

originally permitted support structure without regard to any increases in size due to wireless equipment not included in the original design.

c. For sites with vertically separated deployments, the cumulative limit is measured from the permitted site dimensions as they existed on February 22, 2012, the date of passage of Section6409(a).

Nichols Subdivision, in Section 26 (T17N-R15W), and to otherwise provide with respect thereto (G/Bowman) (Tabled on March 13, 2018)

APPEALSPROPERTY STANDARDS APPEALS**** THE PROPERTY STANDARD APPEALS ARE HEARD AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE, AND THE DECISIONS ARE MADE IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE SUMMARY MINUTES.ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE ORDINANCE APPEALS: NONEMETROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION APPEALS:The Clerk read the following:

case no. sc-6-18: preliminary & final plat(major) The applicant (Mohr and Associates) isrequesting the approval of a preliminary & final plat; located on the east side of Railsback RidgeDrive, Immediately South of Bayou Pierre – Existing Zoning: R-1-12 (PUD) – Request: 14 LotSingle Family Residential Subdivision (D/Corbin)

Timothy Larkin, President of Larkin Development Corporation and Larkin Development at Railsback: I’m here to ask for reconsideration for what MPC has voted. In 2007 the Esplanade Subdivision was zoned and fully entitled for residential use, and the Esplanade master plan was approved at that time. In the year 2014 Larkin Development made application for the approval ofthe Unit 6 plat for Esplanade. That proposed plat included all of the un-platted property that was part of the original master plan for Esplanade. That application was rejected by the MPC because a portion of the property was in the potential future corridor for the extension of Highway 3132. At the MPC meeting we modified the plat to remove the portion of the plat that conflicted with the possible 3132 corridor, but the MPC still rejected our plat. We appealed that decision to this body. In the appeal we also modified our plat to remove the portion of the property that conflicted with the possible 3132 corridor. This body accepted that modification and approved the revised plat. So, Unit 6 was approved but it did not cover all of the remaining Esplanade property. Two years later at the end of 2016, Larkin made application for its Unit 6A plat. Unit 6A covered some but not all of the property that was pulled out of the original Unit 6 application. The MPC rejected that application because most of the proposed lots were in the potential future corridor for the extension of Highway 3132. On appeal this body upheld the MPC’s decision for that same reason. You have before you today an appeal of the MPC’s decision on our Unit 6B plat. That plat covers the rest of the property that was pulled out of the original Unit 6 application and is the northern most property in the Esplanade master plan. The Unit 6B plat does not include any property that was part of the Unit 6A plat. Once again the MPC denied our Unit 6B plat because its property is in the pathway of the potential future corridor for Highway 3132. I really don’t have any comment about the MPC’s reasoning other than to say that our plat is consistent with the master plan and zoning approved for this subdivision years ago, and with all the other plats in the Esplanade Subdivision. So, based on that I’m asking the city council to reverse the MPC’s decision and approve our Unit 6B plat. That’s all I had to say. If you had any questions or comments I will be glad to answer them.

Councilman Jenkins: May I suggest we hear from Mr. Sinclair and then if we have any questionsor deliberation then we will call you back up Tim, if that’s okay.

Scott Sinclair: Actually, I don’t have any comments I just wanted to fill out a form in case you had any questions that I might be able to respond to.

Councilman Jenkins: Ok, that’s all the public comments that we have.

Mr. Larkin: If you have no questions for me I’ll retire to the seat here.

Councilman Corbin: Not at this time Tim. MPC, do you have any comments about this case?

Alice Correa: Really nothing new to add other than what Mr. Larkin has stated that they came before MPC for the request with the re-plat, as we noted, that there are twelve of the fourteen lotsthat are in question are in the path of alignment B2 which the Louisiana Transportation is pursingfor extension of corridor 3132. So, that was the basis of the reasoning for MPC in denying the application.

Councilman Flurry: What was the vote?

Ms. Correa: The vote was 8 to 1.

Councilwoman Lynch: Do you all have an idea when 3132 is going to be built, the extension?

Ms. Correa: No ma’am, I don’t.

Councilwoman Lynch: Was the length of time taking into consideration by the MPC that it has been and that it’s going to be, if ever? Was that discussed, do you remember?

Ms. Correa: I can not answer that question; I do not know the answer to that question but I can find out. According to the staff report, we were going by what is in the 2040 transportation plan and from my understanding, again as I identified in the staff report that they are currently doing an environmental analysis for that alignment B2, which is the corridor that goes through those proposed lots.

Councilwoman Lynch: 2040?

Ms. Correa: It’s documented in the long range the 2040 long range transportation plan.

Councilwoman Lynch: Give me a moment; I am trying to see how old I will be in 2040. I will be77. Okay, thank you.

Councilman Bradford: Mr. Chairman, let me yield to the councilman gentleman of that area and I will come back.

Councilman Corbin: I thought someone would be here today from NLCOG but they’re not, so

there is in our packet a letter from Dr. Shawn Wilson, Secretary of La DOTD which I’m paraphrasing and encourage you to read the letter yourself. There is an agreement on the corridor, a pathway for the future roadway. From my conversations with Kent Rogers there should be some public meetings this summer - the June or July timeframe - where information will be presented to the public about that corridor; and then there is a time to receive comments, for, against or general comments about the project, and all that kind of goes back into the federal highway commission and they come back out at a later time, maybe around the end of the year with a notice of this environmental study being finished and that a pathway is complete. So this is I guess if you wanted to compare it, running a little bit behind where the I-49 inner city connector is, as I understand it this current stage is about 18 months behind schedule where it was supposed to be. You know, we should have had this answer, we anticipated this answer a long time ago. Mr. Larkin has been here so many times and this council and the previous council has talked about this issue so many times that it becomes quite frustrating frankly I think for us and certainly for Mr. Larkin because there are no answers. Even if this study is complete sometime during 2018 then we go to the next phase of it and that’s where’s the money coming from?

Councilwoman Lynch: Did he paraphrase where the money is coming from?

Councilman Corbin: There is no document that I have seen that identifies funding for this projector where the priority for this project lies in the long list of DOTD projects in Northwest Louisiana. All I can tell you is the number one project is the new entrance gate for Barksdale andfunding has been identified and that is the number one project in Northwest Louisiana for LA DOTD today. Attorney Bradford, I guess 2007; a PUD was approved for this entire development and I think I’ve asked this question before and I think we’ve had this discussion before on a previous appeal. Does approval of that planned unit development infer being able to subdivide land and proceed with development of it?

Attorney William Bradford: I think that the mechanism set forth under the zoning regulation that require the applicant to make an application to the MPC and ultimately has a right to appeal to the city council dictate that even though a PUD was approved there are still legislative hurdles that they must achieve in order to develop that land. Given the circumstances of the planned corridor or the ambiguity thereof there are still concerns that the MPC apparently has relayed by their vote related to the future development of that particular plat.

Councilman Corbin: And there is a pending lawsuit regarding what?

Attorney: Bradford: On an adjacent partial, I assume it to be, using a technical term; I believe it to be southwest of the current plat.

Councilman Jenkins: I’m assuming its 6A.

Attorney Bradford: Correct.

Councilman Corbin: It would be nice if we had a map that showed that plat and this current plat.

Attorney Bradford: As I understand it from the MPC this current plat is adjacent to the plat that is subject to the current litigation.

Ms. Correa: Yes sir.

Attorney Bradford: But yet still falls within that anticipated corridor or potential corridor.

Councilman Jenkins: It occurred to me when they presented this, is there any interest based on the MPC’s perspective and the discussion of making an amendment to this appeal because I understand two of the fourteen or non-conflicting right? From what I heard today, are you interested in us possibly pursing an amendment to allow you to plat those two and proceed on thetwo of the fourteen? By the way if you want to take some time to consider and have us postponefor two weeks we can do that, I mean it just occurred to me during this discussion came up that in the past we have given some, you know, half way there revisions and I’m happy for you all to deliberate, you know, get back with us or whatever.

Mr. Larkin: The three units work together, the streets, the water, the sewer, the drainage, the access to the lots, so, that’s not a feasible thing to do.

Councilman Jenkins: Just a little shotgun approach, but I was just curious when I heard two of the fourteen were not in the corridor if it was worthwhile trying to move forward on that, okay disregard that.

Councilman Corbin: Do we have any idea when the pending litigation will be heard?

Attorney Bradford: No, not at this point.

Councilman Corbin: This is a huge dilemma both for the council and for the developer because we continue to be forced to make decisions on a project that has no funding, has no timeframe and we don’t seem to be able to get any better information every 18 months or two years that thiscomes to us. And, you know, I’m not sure what the better choice is that’s before us and I am being as honest as I can be when I say that. You know, I do wish that we had representatives from NLCOG here today to maybe fill in some gaps.

Mayor Tyler: I sit on that board but we have no knowledge about where the litigation is I will just tell you that.

Councilman Bradford: So, let me ask you, the current application mirrors the previous application and that’s why MPC made the decision that it made that it was still obstructing the corridor that is anticipated? Because there is only so much space now that’s available for that, sowhat was your understanding on the rational of the MPC board?

Ms. Correa: Again it was the basis of the long range plan transportation and our long range master plan. One of the things that we state in our provision is that we will not conflict or try notto conflict with other plans as well. As far as does it mirrors, as we said it is a different partial ofland adjacent, so it’s not identical but it is essentially the same situation.

Councilman Bradford: Okay, now Mr. Chairman, let me just say this, there is a purpose for everyentity that makes up government. The MPC had the resources, we again, beat this horse a long time -- had the resources to research not only the status of the DOTD and their anticipated route but also in anticipating the growth in keeping the city in compliance with our own priority. Now, just like, and I think Mike mentioned the inner city corridor, I mean, that in my opinion, now they have made a preferred route and have submitted that to the LA DOTD but again the funding is beyond our control, I mean we can’t control that but I think we have a responsibility to sustain whatever we can until we know for certain that these projects will not come to fruition.That area is a growing sector; I mean I think it is essential somewhere in the next, before Stephanie’s 77th birthday, that if that can happen it needs to happen and that we need not, I think be hast in moving to undermined that process. Now, I can agree that given that where we are, we may need to postpone it to get some further information, Kent Rogers, you know NLCOG could be a part of the conversation. But now there is no real hurry, I don’t see right now either we uphold it or we do something and there is going to be some other additional special issue that’s going to be a result of our action one way or the other. So, again the funding part is what I see asbeing a challenge for us. Do we continue to maintain a position to build until we know where thefunding will come from, and again that’s beyond our control. But I do think that we can get some clarification and some additional information if we could engage Kent Rogers or NLCOG in the interim. So, if there is no one else to speak I will move that we postpone, Mr. Chairman.

Councilman Bowman: Attorney Bradford.

Attorney Bradford: Just out of curiosity, how many more of these plats do you have or is this the last one?

Mr. Sinclair: This is it.

Attorney Bradford: Okay, there are few things that I’d like to do and I would also recommend postponement of this particular matter. And the reason why Mr. Sinclair and Mr. Larkin, insteadof waiting for Godot, I think we are constantly in the cycle of trying to determine when funding will come, I’d like to take the opportunity to during that postponement to meet with Mr. Sinclair and Mr. Larkin and see if can get someone, maybe Kent Rogers to see if there is a solution that we can find that will not jeopardize the corridor, may play towards the ending of that litigation inparticular and may allow us to make a more reasonable vote. Because ultimately the city councilcontinues to be and to borrow Councilwoman’s Lynch word untenable position where you are not wanting to stop the development but ultimately you don’t want to jeopardize the corridor andso I think those few weeks in between now and the next meeting could allow me to have that meeting with Mr. Sinclair and perhaps Mr. Rogers and maybe a representative for LA DOTD to see if there is a better position that we can be in moving forward.

Mr. Sinclair: Can I respond to that? I don’t want to take much of your time but I want to be real honest about this, I’m not optimistic that a delay and conversation will be productive and here’s the reason. We are all stuck in between a rock and a hard place, we are and you are. If you want to preserve this corridor you are going to have to vote to uphold the MPC. We can’t sit and wait forever for that to happen. And I have communicated with Kent as recently as last week and I know where – I heard exactly what you report from Dr. Wilson, I know what that status is and

it’s going to proceed on and then at the end of the day there is going to be an unknown about when if ever funding will be available and I wish we could solve that in the next two weeks but I don’t think we can and I don’t think it will be helpful. So, we are always willing to talk about resolution but I don’t think postponing this for clarity of our rock in hard place position is going to do any good. Thank you.

Councilman Flurry: Thank you Mr. Chairman, I would just like to say a couple of things, first of all, I am thinking about the traffic problems out there on Bert Kouns is increasing over the near future, it’s going to get worse. But here is what I am saying, I’d like to not necessarily to postpone for these folks but for me, I would like to have Mr. Sweeney here. This dear lady is doing the very best she can but we need additional time and information on how the MPC came to this conclusion. I don’t want to make a rush to judgement. And so, I think a postponement is in order until we can get the top planner for us here to answer any questions that we might have. So, I think rather than rushing to judgement that we need additional time with – and hopefully Mr. Rogers might be able to be here at that time, but I need all the facts before I vote on it and that is all I have to say, thank you Mr. Chairman.

Councilman Corbin: I’m fine with a postponement for two weeks to see if Attorney Bradford canpull a rabbit out of the hat and we get something going there. I’m not necessarily concerned about any more information from the MPC because I think the MPC did exactly what has been explained to us, that looked at a map and they say a corridor they voted the way they voted and there is nothing that Mr. Sweeney can add to that conversation I don’t believe that’s going to help us. But if Attorney Bradford and Mr. Larkin and Mr. Sinclair can sit around the table for a few minutes and chug down a pot of coffee and come up with an answer, then we come back in two weeks if we need Kent Rogers here, or we need LA DOTD here that would be great. The council has consistently, until this point, voted to not block what was perceived to be the corridorand then I say perceived because that is a big word, but still there is not that official notice. As this has drug out almost the entirety of three of us up here council careers, you know, we see fewfacts change and as I said earlier that’s a dilemma. If nobody has a dollar to put into this project,is it ever really going to be a project? That’s an issue, but I would support two weeks, come back and take a vote at that point.

Councilman Jenkins: My comment is, you know, yes it has been quite a journey for us on the council particular three of us, but at the same token it’s been an even longer journey for these gentlemen over here and I honestly sat through this deal enough times that I’m not convinced that there is any amount of any information that’s going to show up in the next two weeks that’s going to change anybody’s decision up here. I mean we have to be realistic. If anybody thinks that some amount of information provided by the MPC or NLCOG I think that is delusional they are not going to come up here and tell us yes we have a great path going forward on this deal, there is no funding there, I think we’ve been very clear on how we’ve moved forward in the past and I think we should stay consistent. I think all of us do look to the long term benefit of the city of maintaining the corridor. We’ve been very clear with them from the very beginning that that was our stance and we were going to give them every opportunity to build around whatever is left there but when it came to where there was no more room to allow additional development wewere going to always deny it and once again we’re in that same place. I’m happy to give them two more lots if that advances the ball, obviously it doesn’t but I don’t think that we are doing

anybody any service by hanging on another two weeks in postponing this. Now, I will also say that I’m pretty sure that if William comes up with a solution, probably not a whole lot is not going to change in two weeks and he can come back to us in to reconsider this or whatever we need to do legislatively if the rabbit does appear, but in the meantime I don’t see any value in continuing on postponing something that we’ve been read into for the last eight months and that’s my comments.

Councilwoman Lynch: It’s just going to kill me to have to agree with Councilman Jenkins on something, but I think for the very reasons that Councilman Corbin stated is why we need to go ahead and vote. Since 2012 not much has changed, and we can pull rabbits out of hats and sprinkle dust and do a whole lot of other stuff in the next two weeks but we know that’s not going to change. This gentleman is asking for a vote for this council to make a decision. I mean we can come up with reason after reason to postpone. You know, my favorite one would be is towait until the MPC is a city department, why don’t we just postpone until that happens and we won’t have to ask Sweeney anything. So, I’m just saying we can drag this out as much as we want, today, two weeks from now or what have you, you know, I think we should just vote, we should do what the person who is ultimately impacted has asked us to do and that is make a decision and I think that this council is capable of doing that.

Councilman Corbin: After conversation with the city attorney, I think that we can vote today andthere can still be a conversation.

Motion by Councilman Corbin, seconded by Councilman Jenkins, to uphold the decision ofthe MPC. Motion approved by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bradford, Everson, Corbin and Jenkins. 4. Nays: Councilmen Flurry, Lynch and Bowman. 3. Out of the Chamber: 0. Absent: None. Abstentions: 0.

Mr. Larkin: Thank you council, I know that is a difficult thing to do, I know how difficult the jobis and I appreciate the consideration. Thank you very much.
