Robert Mitchell stated that he beleived that their excessive amount of towers was inconsistent with the cities ordinance. Ron Batty asked if the Kleins had spoken with the FCC regarding the interference. Sandy Klein explaiend that they had been told the by FCC that local government does have some jurisdiction in the regulation of towers and that a form had been sent to them which is to be completed if the interference is not ccrrected. She stated that the gentleman that she had spoken with believed that Mark Franklin had the necessary equipment to correct the problems. Robert Bonner, speaking for Mark Franklin, explained that the equipment had been inspected several years ago by the FCC inspector, who had come to a Medina City Council meeting. Stephen Schmit asked if some of the towers would be removed. Mark Franklin stated that four of them may be moved to a different location on the property. Ron Batty explained that it is a difficult issue, as this is a new area of law. He ex- plained that the FCC recognizes that cities have some authority, which is balanced by the need for defense communications. Medina would need to identify issues and fashion con- ditions addressing those issues. Robert Bonner stated that Mark Franklin communicates on an intercontinental basis and needs taller towers so the height of the two older towers will be increased. JoEllen Hurr explained that two, 60 ft. towers had been originally approved by the city. Robert Bonner stated that interference to the Kleins equipment will be decreased if the height of the towers is increased. Anne Theis asked how tall the towers would be.

Moved by Schmit to authorize drafting of a resolution approving the radio towers for Mark Franklin according to Planning Commission recommendations with specific heights to be designated for each tower. Motion not seconded. Moved by Mitchell, seocnded by Scherer to deny Mark Franklin a Conditional Use Permit for radio towers as plans do not comply with city ordinance and construction will interfere with health and safety of teh neighborhood. Robert Bonner stated that if the permit is denied they would be forced to take legal action against the city as they stand on freedom of speech and PRB-1. He explained that they had come to the city to try to resolve the issue. Thomas Anderson asked if Council should hold an Executive session based on the threat of litigation.
