South Milwaukee, Design Engineer for AT&T, stated AT&T did not have any antennas on the Arts & Communications Building at 926 Woodland Avenue, however, AT&T did have antennas on three
other towers in the area. Tom Sonnleitner, Vice Chancellor – UW-Oshkosh, stated these antennas were needed to shoot directly into Scott Hall because of the large number of cell phones
used by students there. Mr. Borsuk questioned if there was space left for more antennas on the tower. Mr. Sonnleitner stated there is still space available for more antennas, and nearby
structures also have space available for additional antennas. Motion by Reschenberg for approval of the Conditional Use Permit/Development Plan to allow the placement of antennas and
associated equipment on an existing tower, located on the roof of the Arts & Communications building at 926 Woodland Avenue. Seconded by Bettes. Mr. Borsuk stated that he had requested
a copy of the ordinance pertaining to this matter because he wanted to review the checklist. He also requested Zoning Ordinance numbers be noted in the staff report for Plan Commission
