service they provide. He stated that they work on the line -of -sight principle, explained what that
was, and the need for height on the towers.
Matt Cairns, 325 Pine Ridge, estimated that there are 25 to 30 towers in place, and in

propagate a good signal and the desire for clean operations without interference. He asked that 65
feet be the stepping stone.
Mr. Dudark noted that current towers over 35 feet are grandfathered in and that the
rdinance will apply to new or replacement towers.

hanging propagation situations. He stated that picking 35 feet because that is the height of
structures is arbitrary and is not accommodating. He told the Commissioners that average radio
