COUNTY COMMISSION HEARING ROOM

Chairperson another year. The vote to elect Mrs. Martin was unanimous.

Mr. Atchley read a statement outlining the procedures for the meeting and
presented the exhibits.

Public Hearings:
Country Park, a request by Lianne Milton to utilize an existing single family
dwelling for a commercial use located at 121 Yale St. Mr. Atchley read the staff report
and presented pictures and a video of the site. Mr. Wolfe representing the applicant
stated that this property borders the City of Branson, and when hooked to their
wastewater plant will be annexed into the City. Mr. Leach who lives in the adjoining
subdivision voiced concerns regarding the vagueness of the usage, and the subdivision
regulations. Yale St. is the only egress and if cars are parked in the road the cars
cannot get in and out of the subdivision, in his opinion, he has objections on some of
the possible uses, as well. Mr. Leach mows most of the property surrounding this site,
and in his opinion Fountain St. is an emergency road only, and traffic is supposed to be
channeled through the golf course. He also pointed out that there is only one fire
hydrant serving the subdivision. Mr. Wolfe addressed the questions and stated what
part of the property the applicant does own. The road will be built to City Standards
and will connect to the existing road. He stated that the reason all the compatible uses
are listed is that in case a renter moves on, the new renter won't have to wait for
Planning Commission approval. Mr. Pingleton asked that the applicant narrow down the
list of uses by the next meeting . There is one employee currently who works for the
applicant. Discussion followed regarding, if there would be any walk-in retail, and
keeping the structure looking residential. Mr. Stewart stated that where the sign sits it
is commercial. Mr. Caudill asked if the well had been closed. Mr. Wolfe will have that
answer by next meeting. Mr. Pingleton asked staff to contact the City regarding the
issues concerning Fountain Street, and well. Mr. Leach asked about the sign and if the
sign could be upgraded. Mr. Stewart answered that not without Planning Commission
approval. He was also concerned that if Stormy Point were to build condos this property
might become a welcome center. Mr. Pingleton stated that the Planning Commission
must look at what is before them . This property will proceed to final vote next week.

Lot 45 Monopine, a request by American Sportsman Holdings Co. to construct an
80' monopine communications tower and associated ground based equipment placed
within a fenced compound at Dale Dr. Mr. Atchley read the staff report and presented
pictures and a video of the site. Eddie Wol fe representing the applicant addressed the
points of the project. He stated that only an area big enough to place the tower and a
road to access the property will be cleared . The purpose of the tower is to fill the void
created in that area for Big Cedar. Co-location is possible. Every lot adjoining this
property is owned by the applicant. There is only one structure within the fall distance
which is a shed. Mr. Wolfe stated that if the tower were to fall in, it will fall within. Mr.
Stewart asked if that would be the only pine tree. Mr. Wolfe stated that yes, but there
are other pine trees in the subdivision . Mr. Ladue who owns seven lots in the
subdivision voiced concerns that this would not be compatible to the area, and another
concern that it would disrupt property values. Mark Kennedy who also lives in the
subdivision, stated that he would be in direct view of the pine tree. He feels it would be
out of place and that because the applicant owns so much property maybe they could
put it somewhere else. Amanda Tiefry who lives closest to the property stated concerns
regarding compatibility, there is a better location, it will stand out, it is 250' to her
daughter's bedroom window, and feels communication towers are not healthy. Mr.
Wolfe addressed the questions and stated that the applicant's engineers picked this
area, and stated that if needed the engineer will be at the next meeting to address the
location and other questions they might have. The Commission stated that they would
like for him to be there. Mr. Pingleton stated that cell towers must be above the tree
tops to work properly. Mr. Stewart asked how tall the trees on the lot were. Mr. Wolfe
answered 50', and explained where the tower sits, the hills surrounding it and why the
tower should be where it is. Mr. Treese asked if the residents could benefit from the
tower. Mr. Wolfe stated that not at this time, but if a company wanted to co-locate the
residents would benefit then. Discussion followed regarding that on an 80' tower, lights
are not required, and that landscape buffers would not be needed . This project will
proceed to final vote next week.

Old and New Business :
 Update on Code Amendments; Mr. Atchley sat in on a work session with the
County Commission and reported on this. There will be a public hearing on any
amendment approved by the County Commission. There was no discussion.

Update on Spirit Hill; Mr. Atchley reported that Mrs. Warner came to the office at
4:00 p.m. this day to submit the landgrading application and fee. All requests from the
Planning Commission will be done before the meeting next week so a vote can be
taken. Mr. Pingleton read a letter from Charles Conover an adjacent property owner
concerning the request. He stated that take off and landings will occur over his property
in his opinion. He also voiced concerns regarding stormwater runoff and maintenance of
the roads. Discussion followed with Mr. Wolfe addressing some of the concerns. Mr.
Pingleton suggested placing requirements from the FAA in the decision of record. Mr.
Atchley reported on some research he did on FAA regulations. He will have a more
detailed report on this at the next meeting . Mr. Hayes discussed the proximity of the
airstrip to St. Hwy. M. Mr. Adams asked about the contours of the lots. Mr. Wolfe stated
that any road in the subdivision is on a ridge top. Mr. Wolfe reported that all the run off
goes to Elbow Creek. Mr. Wolfe stated that there is nothing in the lay out that violates
either State or County Codes. This project will be voted on at the next meeting.

Commission looked at all the questions brought forth by the public. Mr. Reblica stated
that if the tower was located at any of the other sites it would have to be taller.
Amanda Tiefry presented a petition from the neighbors, and a statement opposing the
placement of the tower. The letter stated that she had met with the homeowners
association and that they had offered placement by the clubhouse. Mr. Pingleton stated
that the applicant would need to do additional leasing agreements etc. if the location
