But some ham radio operators are saying the proposed fee is still too high. Discussion about the fee began last year when amateur radio operators, also known as ham radio operators, were lumped in with cell phone companies when the city adopted new regulations governing the location and appearance of wireless towers and antennas "What happened was these people got caught up in this whole rewrite of (regulations) about cell towers," said City Councilman Jerry Kern, who has taken up the cause of the radio operators. "They were treating these amateur guys like they're commercial businesses and all they are is amateur radio operators." The result was that the radio operators were facing fees of $3,570 for conditional use permits for free-standing antennas more than 36 feet tall in residential neighborhoods and a requirement that they mail notices to everyone living within 1,500 feet of any planned antenna, city planner Jerry Hittleman wrote in a report to the council. Rooftop antennas could go up to 46 feet without a permit. |
