CORRALEOS PUBLIC FORUM (Comment on items not otherwise on Agenda —
5 1 3- Minute limit)5253 VI. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS5455 VAR 2 1-02. (Variance to setback) Applicant Andrew Shows is requesting a Variance to setback for an existing 60-foot56 long accessory structure located at 373 Windover Road that is approximately 7 feet from the back setback, and for which a57 building permit is being requested to make renovations to the structure. This property is zoned A-I Agricultural and Rural58 Residential.59 The applicant was not present; item will be rescheduled for July, 2021.6061 STR 21-04. (Short Term Rental) Applicant Robert Sullivan requests Short Term Rental Permit approval for one62 bedroom of a three-bedroom house at 112 West La Entrada with a rental occupancy maximum of two adults. This63 property is zoned A-I Agricultural and Rural Residential.6465 Robert Sullivan, 112 West La Entrada (applicant, sworn): I have a three-bedroom home I have resided in for66 twenty-six years. Following my divorce four years ago I started thinking about doing an Airbnb to make extra67 money. I started that and it will be two years in August. It is one bedroom, with its own entrance and bath. There is68 plenty of parking and it is very quiet. It is for one or two adults. lam the only other adult here. It is just myself and69 whoever happens to be in the Airbnb.70 Commissioner Anderson: When did you acquire this property?71 Sullivan: I purchased this property in 1994.72 Commissioner Anderson: The info you sent in from New Mexico Environmental is all dated 1978. When you73 purchased the property didn’t you have it re-inspected?74 Sullivan: The property was inspected prior to purchase. That was the original paperwork that verified that I have75 been approved for a septic system.76 Commissioner Anderson: When you sell a property the owner has to have an inspection to prove that everything is77 in compliance. You should have had one given to you when you purchased the property.78 PZA Laurie Stout: On the floorplan itself, it is stamped by NMED. It has the permit number, one home with three79 bedrooms. Gloria Martinez is the NMED signature and it is dated August 20th of 2013.80 Sullivan: That was the most recent inspection of the septic. That was inspected in 2013.8 1 Commissioner Anderson: It is not the normal paperwork that we get but someone stamped it.82 Chair McCandless: It is worth noting that whoever did the inspection mentioned that the septic tank is getting near83 the end of its useful life. Mr. Sullivan you will want to look into that.84 Sullivan: I have an appointment set up in a few days for the septic people to pump it and inspect it.85 Chair McCandless: Keep in mind the note from NMED that the septic system is old.8687 Motion to approve STR 21-04: Mellissa Morris Second: Mick Harper Vote, Yes: John McCandless, Michele88 Anderson, Mick Harper, Ken Killebrew, Melissa Morris, Jerry Stermer, Sam Thompson. (unanimous)8990 STR 2 1-06. (Short Term Rental) Applicant Bryan Langdon requests Short Term Rental Permit approval for two91 bedrooms of a four-bedroom house located at 98 Saiz Road with a rental occupancy of four adults. This property is92 zoned A-I Agricultural and Rural Residential.9394 Bryan Langdon, 98 Saiz Road (applicant, sworn): I am seeking approval of a short-term rental permit for two95 bedrooms of our four-bedroom house. We have an area on the west end of our house that has its own entrance and96 there are two bedrooms in that area and we want to do short term rental through Airbnb. There is plenty of parking;97 it is a very quiet neighborhood. The lot to the west of us is vacant and the lot behind us is a storage lot for Milagro’s98 Vineyards. We do have a letter from the one property that abuts our property.99 Commissioner Anderson: This is a five-bedroom house, but you only have a four-bedroom septic.
Planning and Zoning Commission Draft Minutes for May 19, 2021 meeting Page 2 of 13
100 Chair McCandless: I will point out the on-site wastewater system and inspection and evaluation dated January 29h,101 2018. Halfway down, the number of bedrooms in the dwelling is stated as four.102 Commissioner Anderson: It is shown as a five-bedroom house; the county accessors have it as a five-bedroom103 house. It was advertised for sale as a five-bedroom- and a four-bathroom house. What you use the bedrooms for is1 04 immaterial; it is what it was designed for.105 PZA Stout: For the purposes of this particular application Mr. and Mrs. Langdon have stated via a letter, that is part106 of the sworn testimony, that they are using four total bedrooms in the home; two for their personal use and two for a107 short term rental.108 Commissioner Morris: Is there any specific definition anywhere to tell us what is considered to be a bedroom.109 PZA Stout: Our building official looks for a closet but anybody can turn anything into a bedroom. For this110 application, the applicants are swearing that they are going to use two bedrooms for their family and two bedrooms111 for the short-term rental. At any point in time, our office can go onto Airbnb and if three bedrooms are being112 advertised for the short-term rental, then we have a problem.113 Commissioner Morris: I am worried about the future when maybe someone else owns this property and it has five114 bedrooms and it is being used as such.115 PZA Stout: Short-term rentals do not transfer to a new owner. If the house is sold and they wish to do a short-term116 rental, they would have to come before this Commission.117 Commissioner Morris: What if someone purchases this property and they are using all of it for their personal use118 but they still only have approval for a four-bedroom house. Are we supposed to decide based on what the applicant119 says the property is going to be used for or what it is required to have if it were being used fully as it can be?120 PZA Stout: The applicants are testifying under oath as to what their stated use of the property will be. Down the121 road, if there is a violation of that, then that would be a code enforcement issue.122 Commissioner Thompson: Isn’t the real problem that NMED certified a house for four bedrooms that is actually123 five bedrooms?124 Commissioner Anderson: On your parking area where you placed several cars to show you had enough parking125 spaces. On the outside of your area for the rental; if you look back on your permit, that is right where your leach126 field is. You cannot park, build, or do anything to compact the soil in that area.127 Bryan Langdon: If it is an issue to park there we can certainly have people park on other parts of the property.128 Commissioner Anderson: They have a pretty good diagram on the permit. If you stake that out, it would be in your129 best interest so they don’t mess up your leach field.130 Bryan Langdon: Looking at the drawing, I think they have the house offset more towards the back of the lot. The13 1 end of the leach field is closer to where I have that fence.132 Commissioner Harper: (clarified which bedroom was used as an office) If you sealed the door or built a wall133 across the entrance to the walk-in closet, this would remedy the extra bedroom issue. If that is how we determine134 what an extra bedroom is. This is kind of academic because people can do whatever they want to do in these homes135 after they have had the final inspection and Certificate of Occupancy. I am okay to take your word that it is an136 office/game room.137 Chair McCandless: How long have you owned this house?138 Bryan Langdon: We bought it in 2007.139 Chair McCandless: There is a listing for a different system owner. That approval happened before you purchased.140 Bryan Langdon: The scanned approval from NMED still has the warranty deed transfer as part of it; the title141 company had that done for us.142 Commissioner Anderson: If you look in building and fire code, a bedroom is a sleeping place, for sleeping. It must143 have at least 75 square feet per occupant and it must have at least 8 feet ceiling height and it must have two forms of144 egress. Usually, that is a door and a window. Nothing in any of the codes says you have to have a closet.145 PZA Stout: The Langdons very graciously allowed Ms. Hall and me to come over to their home and we did view146 that room and it is very clearly a game room and not a bedroom.147148 Move to Approve STR 2 1-06: Jerry Stermer Second: Ken Killebrew Vote, Yes: John McCandless, Michele149 Anderson, Mick Harper, Ken Killebrew, Melissa Morris, Jerry Stermer, Sam Thompson. (unanimous)150151 Chair McCandless: One of the things we need to keep in mind is that the Planning and Zoning Commission does152 not write the ordinances, we do not change ordinances. It is our job and our responsibility to apply the ordinances to153 the application that is before us, and that is all. I will reserve the right to limit community comments to five minutes.154 We do want to hear from everybody but we do want to give everyone the chance to speak. We can’t have lengthy
Planning and Zoning Commission Draft Minutes for May 19, 2021 meeting Page 3 of 13
155 addresses to the commission. 1 will endeavor to give everyone a chance to speak and to let them speak their mind156 but, we do have to put some limits on it. Mr. Gjullin if necessary has the ability to mute any speakers before us.157158 ZOC 21-17. (Home Occupation) Applicant Jeannine Grayson of 593 Reclining Acres is requesting a Home159 Occupation Permit to operate “Suite-Success Yoga” in which she will teach Zoom yoga lessons. She will also host160 a yoga workshop quarterly with an attendance of 1-5 students held in a converted garage/studio at 618 Reclining161 Acres which will use 546 square feet of the 1,012 square foot studio. This property is zoned A-i Agricultural and162 Rural Residential.163164 Jeannine Grayson, 593 Reclining Acres (applicant, sworn): I used to teach yoga out of my house, that was about165 four years ago. I have stopped doing that and I don’t intend to ever bring that back. I enjoy going to facilities to166 teach or to do it over zoom. Perhaps quarterly I will do a yoga workshop of one to five people, and that is not for167 sure. Every now and then it would be nice to be able to do that. I am a certified yoga instructor and have been since168 2007.169 Commissioner Anderson: This is for the 618 property correct? (yes) 618 will just be yoga and life coach as far as170 home occupations? (Correct) Exhibit A is showing two cars on the 618 address and four cars on the 593.17 1 Gra son: Whenever I do hold a workshop, I’m not planning on doing any short-term rentals that day.172 Commissioner Anderson: Are you going to have the yoga in just 618 or are you going to have it in both units,173 since you have parking in both lots?174 Grayson: There’s parking in both lots but I am only going to do it over at 618, then they canjust walk across the175 street.176 Commissioner Morris: Which of the properties do you reside at? (593) You are requesting a home-based business177 permit for a property that you don’t live in?178 Grayson: Yes, the office is in 593 but where the space would be to do the workshops would be at 618.179 Commissioner Morris: The workshops would be done at the auxiliary building that was being used as a rental and180 is no longer? (Correct) If you did your yoga workshops quarterly how many people could you have per session?18 1 Grayson: One to five is it.182 Commissioner Morris: 1-low many days a week would that be?183 Grayson: It would only be one day, probably on a Saturday for a couple of hours and it wouldn’t be back to back at184 all.185 Commissioner Morris: There could be five vehicles a week max?186 Grayson: Not a week, because we are only looking at it quarterly, one day quarterly. Once every 3-4 months.187 Commissioner Harper: It is my understanding that these home occupation permits are supposed to be issued to the188 person residing in the home where the home occupation business activity will occur. Since Ms. Grayson does not189 live in this home, I don’t think we can grant this home occupation license to her. I am not sure that is explicitly190 stated in the ordinance but I am firm in my belief that that is the intention of the ordinance.191 PZA Stout: I understand where you’re coming from, it is rare to encounter a situation with two properties adjacent192 to one another with both containing portions of a home occupation. It has happened a couple of times before. There193 was a woman who was renting a property where she had a horseback riding business and there was a barn on an194 adjacent property where she kept the horses. There was a woman who had her property where she had part of the195 business and she was leasing the property next door, and a portion of the business was on that as well. There is a196 little bit of precedence but it is a judgment call by the Commission. I will say Mrs. Grayson was compliant in197 removing the short-term rental out of the studio, so it seemed reasonable to allow her to use the space for quarterly198 classes of 1-5 students only.199 Commissioner Harper: Since all of these are proprietor-run sessions. She can’t be four places at once, so that200 doesn’t worry me. I just didn’t want to do something we should not do.201 Commissioner Morris: There is intensive use of these two properties. For that reason, I would tend to lean to more202 of a judgment call since we do have a legal issue here as far as approving it.203 Anne Gibbons, 412 Reclining Acres, (public comment, sworn): My concern is that Ms. Grayson doesn’t reside at204 the property that she wishes to have a home business out of. I am also going to state that how do we know she is205 only going to have these yoga workshops one time per quarter. How do we know that she is going to live up to her206 word with the number of people at these workshops being capped at five? This is a residential neighborhood. I207 didn’t move to Corrales to move next to effectively a Motel 6 or a yoga studio. There is increased traffic on this road208 and people who do not abide by the speed limit. I am really upset that we have two adjacent properties that are being209 used as non-residential properties. I would like to put to each one of you on the Planning and Zoning Commission;
Planning and Zoning Commission Draft Minutes for May 19, 2021 meeting Page 4 of 13
210 would you like to have Ms. Grayson’s yoga studios or Airbnb located on your road, next to your house, affecting the211 traffic on your road?212 Nelson Ackerman, 525 Reclining Acres (public commenter, sworn) The only comment I have is with the parking213 being at 593 as opposed to 618. The parking area that she lists as parking is a fairway Ms. Grayson has put in to214 allow the people on Western Mesa Trail to access their home. If it were just one, I probably wouldn’t have any215 issues about it but when you stack everything together it does create an issue.216 Laura Fiori, 618 Reclining Acres (co-host and renter of Jeannine Grayson, sworn): I would like to point out we217 have at least five businesses on this street in addition to the residential homes. There are many people who have218 businesses in their homes. Most home-based businesses have traffic. I want to keep in perspective that maybe if this219 residential character is so important than these businesses should be looked at to the contribution to the220 neighborhood or lack thereof.221 Curt Flora, 560 Andrews Lane (public commenter, sworn): If she has this many residences then she would have222 parking and everything that she needed, even if she didn’t live in that home.223 Annette Ackerman, 525 Reclining Acres (public commenter, sworn): When Ms. Grayson did teach yoga pre224 pandemic, there was a parking issue. They would park in the circle and they would park on the sides of the road.225 With her long-term renters, her short-term renters, and the yoga, when you stack it, it becomes an issue.226 Grayson: As stated before, when the workshops will be held, there will not be any short-term rentals on the day227 that, that will happen. I will not hold regular yoga classes here, I haven’t for four years. I can’t see how it is going to228 drive any more traffic in if I am not having short-term renters on those days. My office is at 593 and the workshops229 would be at 618 because it is large enough to hold five people.230 Commissioner Anderson: It is a home occupation and she does not occupy 618. I don’t see if we can approve23 1 something where the basics of it are, she does not occupy it. This is two different places.232 Chair McCandless: This business has two aspects to it and one is the online aspect and one is the in-person aspect.233 The online aspect appears to take place at 593 correct? (Yes) We could possibly approve the business but not234 approve the workshops. Then she would conduct her business in her residence and it would meet that requirement.235 Commissioner Anderson: What would be the point of having the office in one place if you can’t have the236 workshops?237 Chair McCandless: There are two components there and it seems the bulk of the business is the online business. I238 hear loud and clear about allowing a home occupation in a place a person does not reside in.239 Commissioner Harper: We need to pay attention to granting permission to peruse a more irnpactful use of this240 property than simply residing there. Since the home occupation permit allows for one worker that does not reside241 there. Nothing can prevent Ms. Grayson from hiring someone else to do this business. The home where she doesn’t242 reside in just an office. I just don’t think we can do this.243 Chair McCandless: Ms. Grayson resides at 593 and that is where she would teach her zoom classes.244 Commissioner Harper: You need to carve off the use of6l8 because she does not reside there.245 Chair McCandless: The application is a little muddy, the big concern is if you’re going to do a home occupation it246 has to be out of your home in which you live. Running a workshop out of an adjacent property is stretching it a bit.247 We can consider approving with conditions.248 Commissioner Killebrew: I have been reading section 18-45 (c) subjection 4 and I don’t see anything that says you249 have to reside in your home to do this. It does state that no more than four businesses can be operated out of a250 residence and the businesses should be in general compatibility with the existing properties. You can’t have more251 than four registered businesses out of your property.252 John McCandless: The second application is basically the same as the first but with a slightly different business;253 those are running out of both houses. The sweet success music would run out of 593 only. Then the two short-term254 rentals with one out of618 and one out of 593.255 Commissioner Killebrew: What clause says they have to live in the home to have a home occupation?256 Commissioner Anderson: It is under definition of home occupation.257 Chair McCandless: “Home occupation means an occupation or activity conducted by the resident.”258 Commissioner Harper: We have this other issue it says, “is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the259 premises as a dwelling unit.” Ms. Grayson is proposing to run two quarterly workshops in this studio. Taken260 together, this seems like an intensive use of these properties.261 Chair McCandless: Without the workshops, what would be the impact of the neighborhood?262 Commissioner Killebrew: Online wouldn’t be impacting the neighborhood at all.263 Commissioner Harper: We can let her withdraw this application for tonight and resubmit it after she has deleted264 including the workshops at 618. I don’t feel good about approving this with conditions.
Planning and Zoning Commission Draft Minutes for May 19, 2021 meeting Page 5 of 13
265 Commissioner Stermer: I sense that the applicant is hearing what we are saying, we asked her to work with staff266 and she came back. The concern of the neighborhood of the traffic is more about the short-term rentals. I would be267 willing to do approval with those conditions.268269 Move to Approve ZOC 2 1-17 with the condition the work be done online only at the residence at 593270 Reclining Acres: Jerry Stermer Second: Ken Killebrew. Move to amend the motion that application be271 resubmitted with PZA that there can be no activity out of 618 Reclining Acres: Mick Harper (accepted)272 Vote, Yes: John McCandless. Michele Anderson, Mick Harper. Ken Killebrew, Melissa Morris, Jeiiy Stermer, Sam273 Thompson. (unanimous)274275 ZOC 21-18. (Home Occupation) Applicant Jeannine Grayson of 593 Reclining Acres is requesting a Home276 Occupation Permit to operate “Suite-Success Transition Life Coaching” in which she teaches online coaching,277 consulting, and mentoring. She will also host a workshop quarterly of 1-5 people held in a converted garage/studio at 618278 Reclining Acres which will use 546 square feet of the 1,012 square foot studio. This property is zoned A-I Agricultural279 and Rural Residential.280281 Jeannine Grayson: I am doing all of my coaching online anyway, so it is over zoom, telephonic, skype. I don’t run282 any of my coaching business personally, however, I was thinking quarterly to have a workshop. It wont be over five283 people. I mostly run everything over the telephone and zoom.284 Chair McCandless: Based on the discussion we just had you understand the workshop is problematic.285 Nelson Ackerman: The only thing that is not clear to me is that these two permits are being requested for 618, I286 didn’t see any type of home occupation for the office portion at 593. How could you approve it for 593 when it was287 requested for 618.288 Chair McCandless: She has both addresses on the application. All the details, the square footage of the home, the289 amount of use for the home occupation are listed for both properties.290 Nelson Ackerman: I only saw the yellow posting on the 618.291292 Move to Approve of 21-18 with the condition the business be operated out of 593 Reclining Acres and there293 be no business activity being conducted out of 618 Reclining Acres and the application is amended to PZA to294 reflect that there will be no business activity out of 618 Reclining Acres: Jerry Stermer Second: Sam Thompson.295 Vote, Yes: John McCandless, Michele Anderson, Mick Harper, Ken Killebrew, Melissa Morris, Jerry Stermer, Sam296 Thompson. (unanimous)297298 ZOC 21-19. (Home Occupation) Applicant Jeannine Grayson of 593 Reclining Acres is requesting a Home299 Occupation Permit to operate “Suite-Success Music” which uses 136 square feet of her 2,448 square foot home at 593300 Reclining Acres. She will teach private piano and voice lessons to three students on Sundays from 1:30-3:15 pm. This301 property is zoned A-] Agricultural and Rural Residential.302303 Jeannine Grayson: I have been teaching these three students for the last several years. It is two sisters and one304 young boy; that is it. I don’t want to pursue new students. I am doing this because I have taught them for a long305 time. As they get older they will fall off as my students or if I decide I don’t want to continue teaching. I have a306 small piano room in my sunroom and that is where I teach my piano and voice. The little boy takes voice lessons.307 Commissioner Anderson: On your application, it says you have a sound system, what type of sound system is it?308 Grayson: I have two speakers where you plug things into it and I have a CD player.309 Commissioner Anderson: Is it contained or can you hear it outside the neighborhood?310 Grayson: It is contained.311 Anne Gibbons: My question would be has Ms. Grayson ever had a permit to ever conduct business out of her home3 12 in the past? Is this a renewal of a permit, a lapsed permit, or is this a new permit?313 PZA Stout: Our goal here is to get compliance for Ms. Grayson’s activities.314 Anne Gibbons: If she hasn’t been permitted in the past then why would consider permitting her now if she hasn’t3 1 5 been compliant with thc business permit previously? I am concerned about the fact there is a precedence here that3 16 she is trying to backtrack about the permits on this road.3 17 PZA Stout: This is the process for anyone. If we discover a business within the Village of Corrales that is operating3 1 8 without a permit, we ask them to become compliant. The other option would be to take them to Court, in which case3 19 the judge would say: “go before the Planning and Zoning Commission and get compliant”.

320 Commissioner Killebrew: The thing about Corrales is there is a lot of home occupations going on; there are artists,321 wineries, potters, woodworkers, etc. The Village is trying to catch up to get these people permits. They must come322 into compliance with the ordinances. That is what we are looking at.323 Anne Gibbons: I am wondering if we are doing due diligence. Leadership in the Village is approving things after324 the fact.325 Forrest Gibbs, 650 Western Mesa (public comment, sworn): My wife and I have owned the property that adjoins326 Jeannine’s property line in the back of the property since 2007. Our intention was always to build a house and now327 we are in the process of building a single-family dwelling. I have never heard loud music of any kind. There is328 plenty of parking at that particular house for her long-term rentals. I know there are a number of businesses on329 Reclining Acres. I would like to speak in support.330 Commissioner Harper: This is exactly the kind of home occupation business the Village wants to have, where the331 clients are indistinguishable from anyone who might be coming over for a cup of tea, watch football, etc.332333 Move to Approve ZOC 21-19: Sam Thompson, Second: Michele Anderson Vote, Yes: John McCandless, Michele334 Anderson, Mick Harper, Ken Killebrew, Melissa Morris, Jerry Stermer, Sam Thompson. (unanimous)335336 STR 21-01. (Short Term Rental resubmittal) Applicant Jeannine Grayson of 593 Reclining Acres request Short Term337 Rental Permit approval for two bedrooms of a four-bedroom house at 593 Reclining Acres with a rental occupancy of338 four adults. This property is zoned A-I Agricultural and Rural Residential.339340 Jeannine Grayson: I have lived at 593 Reclining Acres since April of 2012. 1 started doing long-term rental at 592341 Reclining Acres around that same time. I started doing short-term rental in October 2014 at 593 Reclining Acres.342 What I am asking for is that out of the four-bedroom, there are two bedrooms upstairs in my loft that I would like to343 do short-term rental or long-term rental with 1-4 guests. It would be 1-3 cars. I live downstairs in one of the344 bedrooms and then I have a long-term renter that lives downstairs in the other bedrooms; that is two cars. The septic345 tank for 593 was updated in 2020 to comply with NMED to support four bedrooms with six people. The fourth346 bedroom does quality as a bedroom. It is not bringing up any extra traffic than it has over the last 6 1/2 years.347 Commissioner Anderson: Upstairs, one is an open loft and then a queen bedroom?348 Gravson: The is an open loft and on one end there is a small bedroom and then on the other side of the loft is where349 the queen bed is.350 Commissioner Anderson: There are two distinct bedrooms and then there is an open area that looks downstairs,351 and that is the loft. Does each one have a door? (yes) Do you plan to rent to one family doing both rooms or two352 separate people?353 Grayson: I could rent the loft out to a family of four or I could rent it out separate, there would be up to four people.354 Commissioner Anderson: Plus your long-term renter downstairs. Does everyone have access to the common areas?355 Grayson: Most of the time the people upstairs stay upstairs and they don’t come downstairs at all.356 Commissioner Anderson: How do they enter and exit the structure?357 Grayson: There is an outside stairway and balcony that leads to their own separate entrance.358 Commissioner Morris: Is this the property that is also going to have a home-based business?359 Grayson: Yes, it is the one that has the piano.360 Commissioner Morris: That is not located in one of the separate bedrooms?361 Grayson: That is in its own separate room, it has a door and an outside entrance as well.362 Commissioner Morris: But it is not a bedroom?363 Grayson: No, it is not a bedroom.364 Chair McCandless: Ms. Grayson you say you have been running this short-term rental for 6-7 years. (Yes) Have365 you received any complaints during that time? (No)366 PZA Stout: Corrales PD had one complaint about a party that happened in 2017 that was brought up at the last367 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, which Ms. Grayson acknowledged.368 Grayson: That was at 618, not at 593.369 Forrest Gibbs: I have an adjoining property on the south side. There is plenty of parking for her short-term rentals.370 1 don’t see any problems with it. I have never heard any noise. My wife and I are in support of this application.371 Annette Ackerman: I wanted to speak about some of the nuisances that have happened since Ms. Grayson has been372 renting out her short-term rentals. We have had guest that are going to her property who mistakes ours for the short-373 term rental. If we don’t have our gate closed, they will come into our property and knock on the door. We have four374 young granddaughters under the age of seven. It is a sharp turn-in, you can’t see into the driveway. We can’t let them375 out to play in the driveway of the fear that one of them is going to get run over. We have to constantly have to keep
Planning and Zoning Commission Draft Minutes for May 19, 2021 meeting Page 7 of 13
376 our property locked up and the gate closed. We have spoken to Ms. Grayson before, at least two or three times about377 issues and it has been disregarded. She has guests that come at all hours of the day and night. One of the bigger378 issues is the trash. She has one trash receptacle at the 593 property that is often overloaded and trash blows out and379 we end up picking up trash down the street. I did call Roadninner because I noticed there was not one at the property380 across the street. They told me that Corrales is contracted with every home in Corrales to have a trash receptacle on-381 site and as of last Thursday they were going to go out to her property. The speeding, the noise, and the drones her382 guest fly over our home, the list goes on and on. Safety is a concern with people coming and going. I know other383 communities that have problems with Airbnb. It has become a big nuisance for us and other neighbors on the block.384 Nelson Ackerman: With all due respect to Mr. Gibbs, he does not live there and has never lived there. He is the385 person who acquired access through Ms. Grayson’s property to access his property on Western Mesa Trail. He has386 no idea if there is noise or anything else. We had not complained to the police or anything else, we brought it up387 directly to Ms. Grayson out of courtesy. On March 17th, you denied this and it has been almost two months and Ms.388 Grayson has never come to us since then to discuss the situation. If she wanted to be a good neighbor she would389 have come to us and I don’t think she has come to any of us. I did stop and talk to a neighbor who told me that Ms.390 Grayson had come to him with a petition and stated that she planned on having a few short-term renters and that was391 not necessarily the case. I started a petition against this short-term rental. When I went and talked to the neighbors, I392 provided them a copy of the agenda for the meeting and asked them to go read it for themselves to see what was393 going on. Upon further review, we have well over 30 signatures from our street that are against the Short Term394 Rental. There were other concerns throughout the pandemic, people were coming and going from throughout the395 state. If I recall, the governors orders were that short-term rentals were to be closed right along with the hotels.396 Those things were not adhered to during that timeframe. In the meeting on March 17th, Ms. Anderson brought up the397 fact that it has a 1.000-gallon tank and it does not accommodate four bedrooms. Ms. Grayson said her septic tank398 had been upgraded but that is not necessarily the case. Those are a few of the concerns, as well as the traffic. I have399 spoken to neighbors but my motive was because we have an excess of traffic, my grandchildren, people come to400 knock on our door, and it has become a problem. They go up and down their stairs and sit on their balcony that401 directly overlooks my property. They have taken away my privacy by doing those things. If you read my letter, I402 tried to be very to the point and not personal. It is a three-bedroom house that was changed to four bedrooms. The403 septic tank is only rated for three. It is a softly and nuisance issue for us, not being able to use our property.404 Ron Holmes, attorney for Jeannine Grayson: Ms. Grayson hired me to support her in this application for the five405 permits but more for the short-term rentals as that is the part that is contested. Ms. Grayson has said she has lived on406 Reclining Acres since 2012 and she has run short-term rentals since 2014. Las time Ms. Grayson was before this407 Commission Mr. Ackerman opposed the request as he is again doing tonight. Mr. Ackerman seems to have408 somewhat acknowledged that this is personal; it is also very political. What is interesting is that the commission has409 approved over 100 short-term rental permits, even two of them tonight. (PZA note: about 20 have been approved.) It410 is not that Mr. Ackerman opposes short-term rentals in the Village ofCorrales; it is just that he opposes these in411 particular. The reason why this is now becoming an issue is because now there is a permit requirement. Before this412 time there was never a complaint about it because it was never really on anybody’s radar as to what was going on.413 Six plus years have passed since there have been really no complaints until just recently. Only the permit414 requirement essentially just raise these complaints to manifest themselves. The complaining neighbors, they are415 laser-focused on what is going on here. Those concerns are legitimate but nothing really has changed since Jeannine416 has applied for this permit. There really is no increase in traffic; in fact, traffic will go down because now the417 occupant number has decreased. Things regarding traffic and noise; nothing has changed, now the occupant number418 is decreased and the noise has not been a problem in the past. The renters are thoroughly vetted before being419 accepted. Jeannine is having these people in her residence and sometimes directly across from her. She is getting420 older, does anyone honestly believe she would not fully vet these renters as thoroughly as possible for her own421 safety? The concerns about safety are really not well grounded. I would like to make an analogy. If you bought a422 new car or new car for them, have you ever noticed that you then notice that car after you bought it? I recently423 bought a VW Tiguan for one of my kids, before owning that car I never noticed Tiguans on the road beforehand.424 Certainly, they were there before because I see them all the time now because I recognize them. They are indexed in425 my mind; it is in my interest to see them. That is what is going on in this particular case now. Now that Jeannine is426 asking for this permit to he approved, folks are saying there is an increase in traffic, safety, noise, etc. It is all now427 being attributed to all those problems are now Jeannine’s created problems because now she is trying to get this428 approval for the short-term rentals. It is just a perception of the problem when it really isn’t a problem and hasn’t429 been a problem before. The traffic and other objections are changed because of this permit. It didn’t increase the430 number of people coming down Reclining Acres road it just increases the perception of those people coming down.43 1 Mike Sorce: Are you enforcing the three-minute rule?
Planning and Zoning Commission Draft Minutes for May 19, 2021 meeting Page 8 of 13
432 Chair McCandless: I don’t appreciate your interruption. As I said at the beginning of the meeting, I said with my433 discretion allow five minutes; it has been less than that.434 Ron Holmes: I have read through most of the comments and I would be prepared to address Mr. Ackerman’s issues435 directly. This is getting to the point where we are really having a problem with neighbors who mean to be good436 neighbors but are not being good neighbors if we see things like signs that are posted by Mr. Ackerman, “no short437 term rentals on Reclining Acres Rd, etc.” Ms. Grayson is doing her best and trying to be compliant. Ms. Stout has438 reviewed her application and found it to comply with meeting the requirements of the Code.439 Cliff Gibbons, 412 Reclining Acres, (public comment, sworn): We moved here in 2017. Though neighbor440 conversation, before I met Mr. Ackerman, I had known Jeannine was running short-term rentals. I didn’t think441 anything about it. There was no perception of it at that time but we have noticed an increase in traffic and speeding.442 The Village posted speeding signs which are being ignored. There is a gentleman who plays his car stereo and you443 can hear thumping as it goes down the road. I have had people ride my bumper up and down the road, and so has444 my wife. We have almost been hit coming out of the driveway. No, I haven’t complained. I am not worried about445 my safety I just don’t want my property values to go down, I don’t want there to be a potential for groundwater446 contamination. Whether it is fair to pin it all on Ms. Grayson, probably not; I will say though there is a lot of447 vehicles I don’t recognize that go up and down the road. This is why I oppose this short-term rental application as448 well as the others in the Village. We are going to have to deal with this soon or I think we will have a big problem.449 Brian Dickert, 618 Reclining Acres (public comment, sworn): I have a concern about one of the Committee450 members; Mr. Harper used the word hotel. It is my feeling that this word is used in an inflammatory way to rile up451 the neighbors who are already riled up. I have a concern about Mr. Harper’s wording and use of that. When you452 notice something, it doesn’t mean that it is always occurring everywhere, it is your own personal experience. My453 practice is here in the Village and about 40% of my clients are here in the Village. With many of the people I have454 met here, speeding is an issue on most roads in Corrales. I had a conversation with one of my clients the other day455 and he said people sped up and down his road. It seems like all the letters that are proposed to Jeannine are about456 trying to single her out for the speeding, noise, etc. In Cliff who just spoke. On the statements Nelson made, I have457 never seen the trash issue, I have never seen Nelson on the street past their house until the March meeting. With458 these false accusations tonight that were leveled on Jeannine and from the last meeting; I want to ask Nelson, are459 you surprised she hasn’t come to talk to you? There is the phrase you hear often, “If someone will lie about460 anything, they will lie about everything.” I listened to the call two months ago and the reason why I wrote a letter461 and am speaking out tonight is because these behaviors are very destructive. There is a concept is coaching and462 parenting, and that is to first point out what is being done right before you say what needs to improve. With that, I463 would like to highlight the letter by Joseph. He stuck to the application and he basically said he would approve464 Jeannine for 593 because she lives on site. My wife Laura Fiori is the host at 618 and the host or co-host are always465 on-site. In general, the tone of the letters are trying to paint a picture that Jeannine’s business is bad for this street.466 Somehow none of the traffic or noise coming from the other businesses has any bearing on the noise, etc. There are467 no noises that emanate from Jeannine’s property above other properties. I am concerned about the signs that were468 put on the street.469 Mike Sorce, 1800 W. La Entrada (public comment, sworn): I am very disappointed you allowed people to speak470 and insult and call neighbor’s liars.471 Chair McCandless: Are you here to speak to this application?472 Mike Source: I have nothing to say that hasn’t already been said about this application.473 Grayson: I sent out a letter last Wednesday to every single residence on this street, I didnt realize some of them474 have post office boxes and I did get six of them returned to me today. This later stated in there what I was applying475 for, how many cars would be coming up and down the street, and that I had been doing this for the last six and a half476 years. The Ackerman have never personally come to me about their concerns. There is noise all over this street;477 there are roosters, dogs, tractors, etc. People have pointed at me for all of this but it applies to every single neighbor478 on this street. I had gone and talked to some people and they had signed my petition and Nelson came up after I left479 and told them a lot of things that were not true and then they called me and told me to take their name off my480 petition. I had a lady who wrote a letter of support for me and she called after Nelson spoke to her and she recanted.481 I had another gentleman that signed my petition and he also signed Nelsons. I fully vet (my guests) and if people482 don’t obey the posted rules and regulations I ask them to leave, I don’t keep them here. Yes, there was an incident483 back in 2017, but it was handled and quickly resolved and nothing has happened since then.484 Ron Holmes: Ms. Grayson is in full compliance with the application process. She has done the necessary request485 for the permits; she is seeking to be in compliance. She is not doing this in violation of the ordinance or the code.486 Unfortunately, this is creating a very bad situation for the neighborhood. I think if the commission approved this487 then the problem might go away. Then she has been approved, she has gone through the process, she has had the due
Planning and Zoning Commission Draft Minutes for May 19, 2021 meeting Page 9 of 13
488 process, they have had their due process, and everyone can move on and hopefully stop putting all their refocus on489 Jeannine. The people complaining havent been complaining about other short-term rentals, just this one so it really490 has become a personal issue, not a philosophical issue on the topic of short-term rentals.491 Commissioner Morris: I have had a little confusion about the septic tank being upgraded and the property being492 changed from a three-bedroom house to a four-bedroom house? Ms. Grayson said the septic system had been493 upgraded, is that really what happened with the septic tank itself? Has the property been approved septic tank-wise494 for a four-bedroom?495 PZA Stout: When 1 originally made contact with Ms. Grayson there was a septic permit for a three-bedroom home496 at 593 Reclining Acres. She went back to NMED and whatever they asked her to do they have approved because we497 are now in possession of an NMED permit with four bedrooms. That is dated March 1 3, 2020. Yes, it has been498 upgraded in whatever way they requested.499 Commissioner Morris: This issue of overflowing trash, did I understand there will be another trash receptacle500 brought out and that maybe that won’t happen anymore? (Yes)501 Commissioner Anderson: Under the NMED paperwork it doesn’t have a drawing of where the septic system is502 located. It does say; please refer to two different permit numbers. One doesn’t come up but one does come up as of503 March of 2005, as a three-bedroom house and 1,000-gallon tank. The information that we do have from NMED is504 that it is a 1,000-gallon tank that was pumped; it is saying that it is a four-bedroom house. Then the asterisk says505 basically that it does not meet what was on the original permit but until it fails, it fails. Since the public record of the506 assessor’s office when she purchased the property in 2012, there was a building permit pulled for a residential507 addition that was pulled in November of 2013 and was closed in October 2019. The assessors office is still showing508 that there is only a three-bedroom house there, so whatever was done in 2019, it is still a three-bedroom house. It509 hasn’t been upgraded or told to the accessor’s office because they don’t look at whatever is there they just take the510 word of what is on the paperwork. We still have a problem with this and the neighbors shouldn’t have to wait until5 11 the system fails. We still have a major problem, it is designed for a three-bedroom house, it should be a three-5 12 bedroom house, the accessors office doesn’t even know it is a four-bedroom house, it is being advertised as a rental5 13 with four bedrooms.514 Chair McCandless: There is a property transfer evaluation summary; page 4, number 6, bedrooms and design flow.5 15 It asks, has the number of bedrooms or design flow increased in the number of design flows on the original and it is5 16 indicated yes.5 1 7 Commissioner Anderson: With three asterisks which say, let it happen until something fails and then we will come5 1 8 out and do something.5 19 Chair McCandless: It says, “Appropriate action shall be taken by the property owner to make sure these systems520 are brought into compliance.” The form we have appears to be filled out by the septic tank pump company and not521 NMED?522 PZA Stout: Correct, but that is typical. It is stamped March 16th, 2020 NMED Rio Rancho field office. Our523 ordinance requires that they provide a septic permit showing the number of bedrooms that are permitted by NMED524 and that is what it says.525 Commissioner Anderson: A four-bedroom is a 1200-gallon tank; this is a tank for a three-bedroom house in526 accordance with NMED.527 Chair McCandless: We have a report by Aaron Brothers Company that says that the system is functioning, it has528 been accepted by NMED.529 PZA Stout: Yes, it was stamped by the NMED field office, and then there was a permit to operate, dated March530 17th, 2020, issued by NMED to Jeannine Grayson at 593 Reclining Acres as a result of this application.53 1 Chair McCandless: NMED has approved the operation of this septic system for this house?532 PZA Stout: Correct, and it is saying with modification, I know she had to do some modifications of the leach field533 in order to get this.534 Chair McCandless: My problem is, if NMED has approved it, are we in no position to stand in the way. Who is our535 go-to source; they are the official people who award the permits.536 Commissioner Anderson: The neighborhood is stuck with the three asterisks. Aren’t we supposed to be protecting537 the water?538 Chair McCandless: If the state agency that governs the operations of septic systems says it is okay, then who are539 we to say that it is not? We haven’t inspected the system and we don’t have the expertise to do so. We have to have540 a point of authority.541 Commissioner Anderson: It is the regulations, not the people.542

543 Move to Extend meeting for half an hour: Ken Killebrew Second: Mick Harper Vote, Yes: John McCandless,544 Michele Anderson, Mick Harper, Ken Killebrew, Melissa Morris, Jerry Stermer, Sam Thompson. (unanimous)545546 Commissioner Harper: I am with Commissioner Anderson because the regulation is plain. The worker in the office547 just missed it. It is up to us to notice these things. This is one of the times we can’t say this is an approved permit.548 Chair McCandless: Do we know this approval is in error?549 Commissioner Anderson: Yes, it is in the regulations.550 Chair McCandless: The regulation you’re talking about is the size of the septic tank? (yes) Does NMED provide55 1 approval for non-standard applications? NMED approved it and we don’t have a basis for deciding that they made a552 mistake, maybe it was intentional.553 Commissioner Anderson: Maybe it was until there is a failure and a lawsuit, why do we have to go that far?554 Commissioner Harper: The worker at NMED doesn’t have the right to waive this application and contaminate our555 groundwater.556 Chair McCandless: I suspect there are nonstandard approvals all over the place, but that is speculation. There is a557 concern about the septic tank being smaller than it should be for a four-bedroom house. Yet, the leach line has been558 extended.559 Commissioner Anderson: The capacity of the tank is the only criteria.560 Commissioner Morris: Is there any way we can ask NMED to do a re-examination of this property? There may be561 a process we don’t know about. I do see the problem that we don’t have the power to decide that NMED did have562 the right to do what they did. I think they are not doing it right in a lot of cases. If there is any way to bring this to563 NMED’s attention, that might give us somewhere to hang our hat.564 Commissioner Harper: We could continue this hearing to a later date and have the applicant resolve this with565 NMED and get written clarification. It seems to be the Village of Corrales has all these regulations and approaches.566 Commissioner Thompson: I think he makes a good point and one I think will work. I have a hard time approving a567 short-term rental for four bedrooms when the capacity of the septic system is for three bedrooms. I don’t care that568 NMED has said it is okay; I need a little bit more than that. We do not want to wait until a system fails to know we569 were on the right track. If we could continue this item until we get clarification I would feel much better about it.570 Commissioner Killebrew: You looked at the permit number 015653 and you couldn’t find it?571 Commissioner Anderson: It just kept coming up as an error.572 Commissioner Killebrew: There is a real possibility the bureaucracy has not updated the existing permit number.573 My concern is we can do this and NMED can come back and go no, we were right, then what are we going to do?574 You may just get a copy of this exact paper.575 Commissioner Harper: Not if we require a written comment from NMED on their letterhead.576 Commissioner Anderson: Let them list with in accordance with, on their letterhead that they admitting this house577 is not meeting their own regulations and they are fine by it.578 Commissioner Morris: Maybe the applicant can ask her attorney to write a letter to NMED and copy the579 commission making a very specific request based on the fact that it is a four-bedroom house, is it in compliance with580 NMED regulations with a 1,000-gallon tank?581582 Move that we defer STR 21-01 pending clarification from NMED that the size of the septic system tank, at583 1,000 gallons, is in compliance with their requirement for a four-bedroom dwelling: Sam Thompson, Second:584 Michele Anderson. Vote, Yes: John McCandless, Michele Anderson, Mick Harper, Ken Killebrew, Melissa Morris,585 Sam Thompson. (6 in favor, Commissioner Stermer absent: passed)586587 STR 21-05. (Short Term Rental) Applicant Jeannine Grayson of 593 Reclining Acres request Short Term Rental588 Permit approval for two bedrooms of a three-bedroom house she owns across the street at 618 Reclining Acres with a589 rental occupancy of three adults. This property is zoned A-i Agricultural and Ru,-al Residential.590591 Jeannine Grayson: The Burn’s, Dorman and Sheri, approached me in 2016 to buy their home, extending my short-592 term rental as a selling point. I bought their home, 618 Reclining Acres, in July of 2016 through a real estate593 contract. I started short-term rentals at 618 in August of 2016. Before that, there had been an art studio and gallery at594 the property and it had been there for well over 10 years. It brought in lots of traffic, noise, street parking, and595 turning around at the cul-de-sac, bringing all sorts of transient people in during the year. At 618 the downstairs596 portion is long-term renters, they have two vehicles. The upstairs is 1- 3 short-term rental guests and there are 1-2597 cars. The septic tank complies with NMED to support three bedrooms. It is still in the Burn’s name and the Burn’s598 did write a letter stating they are aware of what Jam doing and they are in support of it as well.

599 Annette Ackerman (public comment): This is the property that does not have any trash receptacle. The tenants use600 neighboring trash cans and hers that is across the street gets overfilled and blows down the street. This is the one I601 checked with Roadrunner and they said that every home has to have trash receptacles, through the contract they have602 with the Village. Since she has owned it in 2016, she has not paid for any trash or recycling receptacles there. That603 shows you what kind of character she is, not paying the gross receipts tax for years that go to the Village.604 Anne Gibbons: I have chickens, ducks, three roosters, and two dogs. This is a rural agricultural community and I605 am allowed to have those items. What upsets me is that this is becoming personal because we are talking about606 barking dogs and roosters crowing. My concern is that we are allowing someone who has flown under the radar for a607 number of years and has not been permitted properly and continues to do so and therefore we are rewarding her.608 Laura Fiori: I am the co-host here at 618. 1 live full-time on the property and oversee all the goings-on here. I am in609 charge of the trash for 618 Reclining Acres. We have never had blowing trash from our trash cans. Yes, our trash is610 full but all the trash is secured. If there is blowing trash in the neighborhood, it is not coming from this property.611 Nelson Ackerman: Once again, safety, traffic. I understand that Mr. Holmes doesn’t see that there is a safety issue612 but he doesn’t live on our street, he has no idea what I feel or what my family feels. That is a safety issue and those613 safety items are a concern to us. All the neighbors have tried to work with Jeannine but no, we did not call the cops614 on her. It has become e a nuisance in our neighborhood. We have two short-term rentals across the street from each6 1 5 other, which are right next door to me. Her long-term rentals are attacking me personally and saying 1 am a liar. I616 merely told our neighbors to go to the website and research it for themselves. I was prompted to do that when I617 found out Ms. Grayson was completely forthcoming with them. When we did bring our concerns to her, it was61 8 blown off like it was no big deal. We have dealt with it for years and tolerated and put up with it. We finally have an619 opportunity to air our concern. I should be entitled to enjoy my property as well as she enjoys hers. Adding all these620 additional rentals has diminished my quality of the use of my property.621 Cliff Gibbons: We just want a quiet neighborhood; it doesn’t necessarily mean noise it is just the whole622 atmosphere. There are 32 signatures on the petition from homeowners on this road and nearby streets. I just don’t623 want short-term rentals. I am very concerned not just for our street but for the whole Village and in my letter, I do624 talk about the entire Village of Corrales and not just my street.625 Grayson: I have spoken with many of the neighbors about what it is I am doing and again I sent that letter out626 letting people know what I was doing. There is an additional trash receptacle that is going to be delivered on627 Thursday to handle whatever complaint that was about trash.628 Ron Holmes: There is some opposition and some support but sometimes it seems the voices of opposition down out629 the voices of support. Those seem to be louder, but it doesn’t mean they are correct. Ms. Grayson does meet the630 requirements for the code for the short-term rental of this one. There are no septic issues on this one. She has63 1 complied with the Villages application process and as Ms. Stout has said, her application is complete. We would like632 to respectfully ask the Commission to approve.633 Move to Approve 21-05 for 618 Reclining acres: Ken Killebrew.634 Commissioner Anderson: Is 618 in contract with the current waste disposal company servicing 618?635 Jeannine Grayson: Yes, it is under contract with them.636 Commissioner Anderson: You have been under contract with a disposal system since 2016 when you took over the637 real estate contract for this residence? (No) When was it?638 Jeannine Grayson: It was done yesterday.639 Commissioner Anderson: So you have not been in compliance with our collection and disposal for the Village of640 Corrales. She has not been in compliance since she took over with the real estate contract.641 Chair McCandless: Are all Villagers required to contract with roadrunner waste disposal services.642 PZA Stout: They cannot contract with anyone else but I don’t know that there is a prohibition against just taking643 things to the dump.644 Commissioner Anderson: Can you combine two residences into one trash receptacle?645 Commissioner Morris: This is the same sort of issue as saying she has been operating a short-term rental without a646 permit for so many years. That has been happening all over Corrales and we have not been punishing people for647 that, we are just trying to get it fixed and go on from there. I don’t think a trash can or not can affect our decision in648 this particular matter, since it is apparently being taken care of. That is what we want, we want people to be649 permitted, we want people to do what they are supposed to be doing when they weren’t and we are trying to fix that.650 Commissioner Harper: I am not sure that the ordinance governing short-term rentals in ColTales has been enforced651 as far back as 2016. 1 never imagined that I needed a business license when I started my business, Ijust stumbled652 onto it.

653 Commissioner Killebrew: What we are doing is giving the Village of Corrales more control over people who rent654 out short-term. We have much more control when they get a license. If we have more control and a complaint comes655 in, they get their license suspended, etc. We are getting more control by giving out these short-term licenses.656657 Motion Seconded: Mick Harper Vote, Yes: John McCandless, Mick Harper, Ken Killebrew, Melissa Morris, Sam658 Thompson.

Maximum Occupancy for 108 Camino de Ia Tierra, NW Corrales, NM -
per application for Short-Term Rental Permit--Carol Akright--ltem 1(a) ofPermit Application
Wed 4/7/2021 1:03 PM
To:Plaflfliflg <[email protected]>;
To Sevon Hall and Laurie Stout,
Per our conversation today, here is the paragraph you need re: occupancy for my property, which addresses Item 1 (a) of myapplication for a Short Term Rental Permit.
“For my short-term rental permit, this is to notify you that there will be a maximum of 2 adults plus one child age 12 andunder, staying at my property, in addition to myself, the owner of the property during any short-term rental. Therefore, therewill be a maximum of 3 adults on the property at any one time.
As for vehicles, my driveway easily accommodates 2-3 vehicles besides my own. This can be seen by the drawings of my Lot125 that accompany this application.
As discussed today, I only rent out one bedroom in my home, as the other two bedrooms are my own master bedroom andmy office.The guests have their own bathroom.
The square footage of my home’s interior space is 2135 square feet. This footage excludes the garage and outdoor coveredpatio on the Northeast corner of the residence.1000 square feet of that interior space is usable by any short-term rental guests.”
Thank you for your consideration of my permit application.
Sincerely,
Carol Akright,, Owner108 Camino de Ia Tierra, MWCorrales, NM 87048(505) 850-2975

David Bartolomei and Marlene Ember-Bartolomei
We are against any and all Short Term Rental Permits by Carol Akright and Jan Fiala.
We are against against the Site Development by Joan Lewis for Short Term Rentals.
We are also against the replacement of the Flagpole cell tower. It is fine as it is and replacement would be a waste ofmoney.

Site Development Plan SDP 21-03, Crown Castle, Replacement Cell Tower at Fire
Station #1, 4920 Corrales Road, Staff SummaryApplicant Crown Atlantic Company, LLC and Romano and Associates, LLC request Site Development Plan approval toremove the existing 70 foot “flagpole” style cell tower at 4920 Corrales Road (in front of Fire Station #1) and replace itand relocate with an 85 foot “tree” style cell tower behind the fire station building on the south side of the property.This property is zoned M — Municipal.
Site Development Plan applications specific to Wireless Facilities are governed by Article VI. Telecommunications
Facilities, which begins in Village Code at Section 18-201. Wireless telecommunications facilities are a permissive useon Municipal properties, per Section 18-207. Originally, this application was to have been heard end of 2019 or early2020, but Covid-19 and other considerations pushed it forward. While most documents provided by the applicant didnot need revision, the Village requested an updated NIER (radio-frequency report) and review of the engineering(structural report), both of which were done. A town hall meeting was held in July 2019 whereby Crown Castle staff,including their engineer, flew out to Corrales and met with members of the public to answer questions. Certifiedletters were sent to all within 300 feet of the proposed tower at that time, and approximately 20 neighbors did attend.The Village did not ask Crown Castle to repeat the town hall.
Section 18-206. Permits (d) (2) Application for new tower (in this instance, replacing an existing tower at a newlocation on the Fire Department property):
a. Name, address, telephone number and email address of the applicant, the owner of the real property uponwhich the Wireless Telecommunications Facility will be located, the owner of the proposed tower or structure,and the owner and operator of any antennas or other telecommunications facilities to be located on the tower orother structure, to the extent known at the time of application.Applicant and Owner: Crown Atlantic Company LLC, 2000 Corporate Drive, Canonsburg, PA 15317.Heath Reed, Site Development Project Manager. Phoenix, (480) 862-4723, [email protected] by: Romano and Associates, LLC, 8100 Wyoming Blvd. NE #M4-167, Albuquerque, NM 87113,(505) 750-0735, (Nicholas Romano) [email protected] of real property: Village of Corrales, 4324 Corrales Road, Corrales, NM 87048, which will also operate afire communications antenna on the structure.Operator(s) on tower: Verizon Wireless, 126 W. Gemini Dr., Tempe, AZ 85283. Also, proposed in a Varianceapplication, Village of Corrales Fire Department, radio communications antenna.
b. A copy of the lease agreement or other documentation establishing the right to erect the tower or otherstructure on the property, if the Wireless Telecommunications Facility is not owned by the owner of the realproperty.A ground lease agreement was signed and finalized between the Village of Corrales and Crown AtlanticCompany in April 2021. Village Administrator Ron Curry signed for the Village. A copy of the lease agreement isin the ePacket material and on the website. In addition, a hard copy of this and all other required SiteDevelopment Plan documents is available for inspection in the Village of Corrales Planning and ZoningDepartment office.As part of the lease agreement, the Fire Chief requested several items of Crown Castle that they’ve agreed to:replace a portion of the crumbling wall between the Fire Station and Sherrod Court on the south side, erect a35-foot flagpole, replace an existing chain-link gate with an industrial/commercial grade security metal gate,move a shed on the fire department property and provide a 5’ foot telecommunications antenna (referenced inthe Fire Department’s Variance to height request which is a separate agenda item.)
c. Design drawings, elevations and specifications prepared by a structural engineer licensed in the state of NewMexico showing the proposed Wireless Telecommunications Facility, including all antennas and other elementsto be located on the facility. A signed and stamped set of drawings is in the epacket material and on the website,prepared by Vector Engineers, Brett D. Veazie Professional Engineer, dated August 5, 2020.
d. A narrative description showing the need for the new Wireless Telecommunications Facility or the new antennasor other elements to be located on the Wireless Telecommunications Facility, how the new antenna or otherfacility will be integrated into the applicant’s telecommunications network, or how the new Facility or newantenna or other elements, if approved, will improve the availability or reliability of telecommunications servicesin the Village.
This proposed 85’ tree-style cell tower will replace an existing 70’ flagpole-style tower on the Fire Departmentproperty, now located along Corrales Road and proposed to now be behind the Fire Station building itself. Theapplicant has provided a narrative, included both online and in the hard copy packets; Item 3.2 (d). In addition, Item 5of the applicant’s narrative provides an analysis of Federal law as it pertains to wireless service providers. State andlocal governments must provide substantial evidence in support of any denial of a request to construct or modifywireless facilities.
e. Documentation of the applicant’s efforts, if any, to collocate the proposed antennas on existing towers orstructures in the vicinity. If it is the applicant’s position that no existing tower or structure is adequate for theapplicant’s telecommunications needs, or that applicant has made reasonable efforts to collocate on otherWireless Telecommunications Facilities and been denied, then applicant must provide all materials sufficient toestablish that applicant has considered all reasonable alternatives and that none of them will meet theapplicant’s reasonable needs.
Item 3.2 (e)of the applicant’s narrative. Replacing an existing cell tower with a more robust structure.
f. A complete site development plan, including all elements required under Section 18-45 (b). Sheets 3 and 4 of thelarge drawings show many of the requirements. Crown Castle’s 35’ X 46’ (1,610 square foot) lease area is shownon Sheet 4, within the overall area of the Fire Department property. Items such as “well”, “septic”, etc. are notrelevant to this Site Plan, nor are “parking” or other considerations having to do with ongoing and sustained useof a property. Once construction of the replacement tower and demo of the existing tower is complete, there willbe little to no additional impact to the site. More subjective considerations in Village Code having to do with SitePlans, such as “general compatibility with existing adjacent properties” (Section 18-45 (b) (5) (f)) may come upduring the hearing and can be discussed.
g. A cultural resources report by a qualified professional identifying and describing all sites, buildings, existingstructures, cultural resources or objects significant in history, architecture, archaeology, or engineering and anyplaces listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or the New Mexico State Register ofCultural Properties within one mile of the property where the proposed Wireless Telecommunications Facility willbe located.
The full Cultural Resources Survey report prepared by Trileaf Corporation can be viewed on the website packet and inthe ePacket material. On pages 6 and 7, it is the determination that the proposed cell tower relocation will create noadverse effects to historical properties, archaeological sites or other considerations studied within the Area ofPotential Effects (1/2 mile radius from the lease area).
h. A scenic and landscaping plan showing the appearance of the proposed Wireless Telecommunications Facilityfrom all streets, roads and recreational trails within one-half mile of the property where located and from allsites, buildings, existing structures, cultural resources or other objects identified in the cultural resources report,and including a landscaping plan or other plan showing how the visual effect of the proposed WirelessTelecommunications Facility will be mitigated.
The full-color “before and after” renderings are included both online and in the Commissioner packets, showing thevisual impact of the proposed tree-style cell tower from five different vantage points. The Village requested thatCrown Castle utilize the “stealth” technology called for in Village Code Section 18-208 (b) (3), i.e. the “tree” style, tobetter blend in with the surroundings. Although jokes have been made because it is called an “elm” style, theproposed cell tower is NOT a tree and in no way resembles the Chinese elm forbidden in the Village! There are elmvarieties, such as the Frontier Elm, that are allowed.
i. Certification that NIER levels at the proposed site are within the threshold levels adopted by the FCC.Former Planning and Zoning Commissioner Dennis Rossbach has reviewed the document, “Site Compliance Report”dated April 19, 2021, available for viewing online, in the epacket, and in Commissioner packets. (See his email datedApril 21, 2021.) It is his finding that proposed radio frequency levels are well within the allowable limits, even with FireStation staff quarters now added to the Fire Station facility building. Chief Martinez has also received a copy and issatisfied with the analysis.
j. A copy of the FCC license applicable to the proposed Wireless Telecommunications Facility. (Provided.)Again, Dr. Rossbach has reviewed and found that the FCC licenses provided to the Village are valid and sufficient. (Seehis email dated May 14, 2021.)
k. A lifecycle plan describing in reasonable detail the inspection and maintenance schedule for the proposedWireless Telecommunications Facility, any other anticipated activities relating to the Facility during its useful life,and plans for the decommissioning and removal of the Facility at the end of its useful life.
Applicant addresses in the narrative, Section 3.2 (k).
I. All other materials reasonably necessary to document the need for the proposed tower or other structure andthe Wireless Telecommunications Facility to be located thereon.
Section 18-208 (c) Lighting. The FCC will not require lighting on the proposed tower, so there is no conflict with theVillage of Corrales Section 18-42 Exterior Lighting “Dark Skies” ordinance.Section 18-209 (b) Fiscal Responsibility and Insurance. The applicant has provided a letter dated April 19, 2021(signed by Site Development Project Manager Heath Reed) stating their commitment to provide a $75,000performance bond, and evidence of insurance prior to a building permit being pulled and granted by the Village.Emails from Con Strife of New Mexico Legal Group (the Village of Corrales contracted legal counsel), dated April 29th
and 30th state that she has reviewed the letter, the lease agreement, and liability insurance and found them sufficient.She does state that Crown Castle should provide the Village with proof annually, prior to expiration of the insurancepolicy, that the policy has been renewed and minimum required insurance coverages are being maintainedthroughout the duration of the cell tower’s presence on the premise. A representative of Crown Castle can attest tothis commitment, under oath, during the Planning and Zoning hearing of this agenda item.
Section 18-208. - Wireless Telecommunications Facilities - Design and Construction.
(a) Height. Towers, antennas and other Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall not exceed the following heights:(1) Eighty-five (85) feet on M zoned properties owned by the Village.
Applicant is proposing the full allowable height of 85 feet for their tower. They are requesting a Variance tosetback, which is the next application, assuming approval of the Site Development Plan.
A Variance application has also been submitted by the Village of Corrales for a Fire Department-specific antennathat will be placed on top and therefore exceeds this height; it is not a part of this application and will beconsidered separately.
Certified letters were sent timely. I observed the yellow “notice” sign posted facing Corrales Road on May 27th,
2021.
Recommen ation: Approve. Substantially compliant with Village Code Article VI. Telecommunications Facilities.

Zoning: M-1
2. INTRODUCTION
Crown Castle is one of the largest providers of shared communications infrastructure in the United States,with approximately 40,000 cell towers comprising approximately 91,000 installations. Crown Castle’sextensive infrastructure serves as the backbone of the nation’s communication network. Crown Castle ownsand operates the Wireless Telecommunications Facility located at the fire station at 4920 Corrales Road,
Corrales, NM 87058 (“Existing Site”). The Existing Site accommodates Verizon Wireless antennas and networkequipment and has provided wireless communications coverage in the area for the last 20 years.
The Existing Site is a critical component of that network which provides network continuity for the publicinterest, continuing 911-call service and long-term stability for Verizon Wireless’s current service levels in theVillage.
3. REQUEST FOR TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITY PERMIT PURSUANT TO §18-206
3.1 Background
The Existing Site, permitted and built in 1999, is a 70’ taIl flagpole with antennas enclosed in a canister at thetop. Crown Castle is requesting permission to construct a new 85’ pole disguised as an elm tree as areplacement for the flagpole to allow for improved Verizon Wireless signal coverage, greater equipmentflexibility to deploy advanced wireless technologies, and the accommodation of additional users to increaseservice offerings within the Village. Due to its narrow profile, the existing flagpole cannot accommodate thelatest antenna and radio equipment which are required by today’s wireless networks without modificationswhich would compromise its appearance as a flagpole. The new, taller elm tree will not only permit theinstallation of advanced technologies and equipment, it will also allow for additional users to utilize the samefacility to offer their services within the Village.
3.2 Application Requirements Pursuant to §18-206(d)(2)
(a). The name, address, telephone number and e-mail address of the applicant, the owner of the real propertyupon which the Wireless Telecommunications Facility will be located, the owner of the proposed tower orstructure, and the owner and operator of any antennas or other telecommunications facilities to be located onthe tower or other structure, to the extent known at the time of application.
Listed above.
(b). A copy of the lease agreement or other documentation establishing the right to erect the tower or otherstructure on the property, if the Wireless Telecommunications Facility is not owned by the owner of the realproperty.
New Lease is being completed and signed by the Village of Corrales and Crown Castle.
(c). Design drawings, elevations and specifications prepared by a structural engineer licensed in the State ofNew Mexico showing the proposed Wireless Telecommunications Facility, including all antennas and otherelements to be located on the Wireless Telecommunications Facility.
Attached hereto (Attachment 3).
(d). A narrative description showing the need for the new Wireless Telecommunications Facility or the newantennas or other elements to be located on the Wireless Telecommunications Facility, how the new antennaor other facility will be integrated into the applicant’s telecommunications network, and how the new WirelessTelecommunications Facility or new antenna or other elements, if approved, will improve the availability orreliability of telecommunications services in the Village.
The applicant is requesting to replace the existing site with a new 85’ pole disguised as an elm tree asa replacement for the flagpole to allow for improved Verizon Wireless signal coverage, greaterequipment flexibility to deploy advanced wireless technologies, and the accommodation of additionalusers to increase service offerings within the Village. Due to its narrow profile, the existing flagpolecannot accommodate the latest antenna and radio equipment which are required by today’s wirelessnetworks without modifications which would compromise its appearance as a flagpole. The new,taller elm tree will not only permit the installation of advanced technologies and equipment, it willalso allow for additional users to utilize the same facility to offer their services within the Village.
(e). Documentation of the applicant’s efforts, if any, to co/locate the proposed antennas on existing towers orstructures in the vicinity. If it is the applicant’s position that no existing tower or structure is adequate forapplicant’s telecommunications needs, or that applicant has made reasonable efforts to co/locate on otherWireless Telecommunications Facilities and been denied, then applicant must provide all materials sufficientto establish that applicant has considered all reasonable alternatives and that none of them will meet theapplicant’s reasonable needs.
This application, unlike a standard request for a new facility, is to replace the existing site (70’flagpole) with a new 85’ elm tree that has the flexibility to accommodate modern wireless antennasand radio equipment and will be co-locatable for future carriers in the area. The reason why theexisting 70’ flagpole facility is not suitable for either expansion or co-location is due to its narrowprofile. The addition of additional antennas or even replacement of existing antennas on the existingflag pole is extremely limited since it is only 20” in diameter. The latest wireless antennas designed toutilize new frequencies licensed by the FCC are much wider and deeper than the original antennas inuse when the facility was designed in 1999. Advanced broadband technologies also require radios tobe installed adjacent to the antennas instead of on the ground. Finally, the multiple frequency bandsused generally require multiple antennas per sector. Installing all of the necessary equipment on theexisting flag pole would require structural modifications to make it significantly wider which wouldcompromise the camouflage design of the flag pole. In addition, the existing pole is not designed toaccommodate additional wireless providers. Any additional provider would have to mount itsantennas and radios externally, further degrading the facility’s aesthetic. Given that this facility islocated directly off of Corrales Road, it would be impossible to comply with the aesthetic standardsrequired in Village code. As such, colocation is not feasible on the existing structure.
(f). A complete site development plan, including all elements required under Section 18-45(b).
Attached hereto (Attachment 3).
(q). A cultural resources report by a qualified professional identifying and describing all sites, buildings,existing structures, cultural resources or objects significant in history, architecture, archaeology, orengineering and any places listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or the NewMexico State Register of Cultural Properties within one mile of the property where the proposed WirelessTelecommunications Facility will be located,
Attached hereto (Attachment 4).
(h). A scenic and landscaping plan showing the appearance of the proposed Wireless TelecommunicationsFacility from all streets, roads and recreational trails within one-half (0.5) mile of the property where locatedand from all sites, buildings, existing structures, cultural resources or other objects identified in the culturalresources report, and including a landscaping plan or other plan showing how the visual effect of the proposedWireless Telecommunications Facility will be mitigated.
As part of this application, we enclose photographic simulations of the proposed relocated wirelessfacility from five different directions (Attachment 5). These representations demonstrate that bymoving the 70’ tall Existing Site from the street front to a location further back in the propertycombined with the elm tree design go a long way in reducing the visibility of the facility from the mostlikely view shed. The Corrales Road scenic byway and North Valley in general are characterized bymature tree growth. Thus, the primary mechanism for mitigating the visual impact of the facility isthe elm tree design which blends it in with the existing tree line. The new location deep within theproperty where existing structures largely screen it from view will also minimize the visibility of thefacility from the average passer-by.
(I). Certification that NIER levels at the proposed site are within the threshold levels adopted by the FCC.
Attached hereto (Attachment 6).
(j). A copy of the FCC license applicable to the proposed Wireless Telecommunications Facility.
Attached hereto (Attachment 7).
(k). A lifecycle plan describing in reasonable detail the inspection and maintenance schedule for the proposedWireless Telecommunications Facility, any other anticipated activities relating to the WirelessTelecommunications Facility during its useful life, and plans for the decommissioning and removal of theWireless Telecommunications Facility at the end of its useful life.
If approved, construction of the facility would take approximately 45-60 days to complete. The firststage would be construction of the foundation, antenna structure, utilities and fencing. Then, theantennas and radio equipment would be attached to the tower. Finally, the ancillary activitiesassociated with this application such as the decommission of the old flagpole facility and repair of theadobe wall would be completed. Once constructed and operational, the facility would receivemaintenance visits approximately once per month. These visits would be service/inspection visitsonly and would not entail any significant changes to the facility.
From time to time, as technology changes, upgrades to the site’s antenna and radio equipment maybe needed, or a new user may wish to install a new array. Physical modifications to the equipment onsite would happen only after appropriate review and permits by the Village and be performed bylicensed contractors. Installation of new antennas or tower-mounted equipment may require the useof a crane or lift truck. Changes of this nature might be expected every one or two years.
Should the facility ever require removal due to termination of the lease agreement, abandonment, orthe end of its useful life, the facility owner would, in accordance with municipal code and the leaseagreement, remove the facility and all above-grade improvements and reasonably restore thepremises to its pre-existing condition, wear and tear excluded. The $75,000 performance bondrequired under the ordinance would safeguard the facility from being abandoned.
3.3 Site Location and Placement Pursuant to §18-207
(a) Municipal properties—permissive use. Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall be a permissive use onproperties owned by the Village that are zoned M for municipal, public and quasi-public uses. Applicantsseeking to locate, erect or modify a Wireless Telecommunications Facility on any such property shall firstnegotiate with the Village administration and enter into a contract setting forth the conditions for such
Wireless Telecommunications Facility, and shall enter into an appropriate lease agreement for the proposedWireless Telecommunications Facility. In the event that the Wireless Telecommunications Facility will require avariance or modification from any provision of this Article, the application for the required variance ormodification will be submitted by the applicant after the lease agreement has been fully approved andexecuted, unless by mutual agreement the parties determine that execution of the lease agreement should bedeferred pending a decision on the application. If the application is not approved by the Commission or, onappeal, by the Governing Body, the lease shall thereupon be void and of no effect.
The Existing Site and proposed relocation site are on the same municipally owned parcel zoned M-1.A lease agreement between the Applicant and the Village has been negotiated and will be fullyexecuted by both parties.
(d) Protection of scenic views . Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall not be erected in any locationwhere the Wireless Telecommunications Facility will obstruct a scenic view from a public park, publicrecreational trail or pathway, public recreational facility or natural area (including but not limited to theBasque Preserve), or from any other public location, unless it is shown that the Wireless TelecommunicationsFacility in that location is essential for the provision of wireless telecommunications services and that no lessintrusive alternative exists. It is the duty of the applicant to demonstrate the necessity of the facility and theabsence of a less intrusive alternative, taking into account all reasonable alternative locations, designs andheights for the proposed telecommunications facility.
Corrales Road is a designated bike trail within the Village of Corrales and is also a renowned scenicbyway in the State of New Mexico. By relocating the Existing Site to the proposed location andredesigning it as an elm tree, this view corridor will be enhanced. First, the removal of the existing70’ flagpole which sits at the very front of the property 20’ off of the roadside will
Placing the new facility, while 15’ taller, in the back half of the property will dramatically decrease itsprofile and visibility from the frontage since it will be largely screened by the existing fire station,water tank, and other nearby structures. In addition, the elm tree design will more readily blend in inthose spots where it is visible above the tree line.
(e) Setback. All Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall be set back from property boundaries by at leastone hundred ten percent (110%) of the total height of the facility, including all antennas and other structureslocated thereon, or by the applicable setback distance provided in Chapter 18, Article II, whichever is greater.
At 85’ overall height, the proposed antenna structure would need to be set back 93.5’ from allproperty lines to meet this requirement. Unfortunately, due to the narrow width of the property(167’ at its widest), we are unable to meet this setback and will request a variance. The structurewould only be 60’-4” to the south property line. However, if one takes into account the 40’ SherrodCourt right-of-way separating the fire station from the adjacent property to the south, the totaldistance to the adjacent property would be 100’-4”.
3.4 Site Design and Construction Pursuant to §18-208
Crown Castle’s proposed facility meets all requirements of this section:
(a) Height. Towers, antennas and other Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall not exceed the followingheights:
(1) Eighty-five (85) feet on M zoned properties owned by the Village.
The proposed structure is 80’ tall to top of steel and 85’ tall to top of highest appurtenance(branches).
(b) Visual appearance . All Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall be designed to fit in with theirsurroundings, including the buildings, vegetation, and other elements on the property where the WirelessTelecommunications Facility is located and those on adjacent and nearby properties, and to be minimallyobtrusive visually from adjacent properties and from roadways, paths, trails, and other public areas. Towersand other Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall employ one or more of the following strategies tominimize visual obtrusion:
(3) Stealth Technology wherein the tower or other Wireless Telecommunications Facility is designed toresemble a common landscape element such as a flag pole, a water tank, or a tree of a type or speciesthat naturally occurs or is commonly maintained for fruit production or landscaping in the Corralesarea.
The elm tree design was specifically chosen to blend in with the character of the Corrales Road scenicbyway. Elms are a common, if not traditional, landscaping tree in the North Valley. As demonstratedin the accompanying photo simulations, from a distance the protruding visible portion of the antennastructure will blend into the tree line and not readily stand out as a wireless facility.
(c) Lighting . The Wireless Telecommunications Facility shall not be lighted unless lighting is specificallyrequired by applicable law or regulation of the FAA, the FCC, or other authority having jurisdiction. Lighting ifso required shall be the minimum necessary to meet the regulatory requirements, and shall to the maximumextent possible conform to the lighting standards set forth in Section 18-42.
Lighting of the antenna structure will not be required by the FAA. Technician work lights are includedin the design, but they shall operate on a timer and shall otherwise comply with Section 18-42 ofVillage code.
(d) Natural Resource Protection . The construction method shall not adversely impact natural resourcesincluding but not limited to resources such as the existing water table, water runoff or soil conditions.
No adverse impacts on natural resources are anticipated.
4. REQUEST FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY PERMIT PURSUANT TO §18-48
4.1 Background
As part of this application, Crown seeks a variance to the 110% setback (93.5’) from all property lines for thenew structure since the parent parcel is only 167’ wide at most. As a result, the structure is only 60’-4” fromthe south property line. Public safety will not be endangered by a variance from this standard since thestructure would still meet setbacks from adjacent properties when the public right-of way is factored in.Sherrod Court to the south is a 40’ public right-of-way which would bring the total distance between thestructure to the neighbor’s property to 100’-4”. The granting of this variance will serve the public interest byenhancing wireless coverage and services, improving the Corrales Road scenic byway by relocating theantenna structure deeper into the property, and preventing the proliferation of additional sites throughconstruction of a single multi-user facility.
4.2 Conditions For Variance Pursuant to §18-48(h)
Conditions for variance: The Planning and Zoning Commission may deny any request for a variance that isbased on conditions which are the result of the action of the applicant. Where the Planning and ZoningCommission finds that the strict application of the requirements of this article would result in a practicaldifficulty or unnecessary hardship that would deprive the owner of the reasonable use of the land or building,a variance may be granted provided that:
(1) The variation of this article will not be contrary to the public interest,
As stated as part of the justification for this relocated facility, there are numerous public benefits tomodernizing and enhancing wireless service within the Village. By permitting a new antennastructure on the property which augments wireless coverage, permits the deployment of the latest inwireless technologies and also allows for shared use by multiple service providers, the Village cansatisfy the present and future needs of residents, business owners, and public safety professionalswho increasingly rely on wireless networks as an essential, if not primary, means of communication.
(2) The variation will not adversely affect adjacent property owners or residents,
Reducing the setback to accommodate the new 85’ antenna structure will not present any danger tothe safety and welfare of adjacent property owners. While the 93.5’ setback to the property line isnot achievable on this property, when one takes into account the adjoining Sherrod Court publicright-of-way, the safety buffer of 100’-4” from the adjacent property is larger than 93.5’ (110% of thestructure height) still exists. As such, the variance would not put any risk on adjacent properties.
(3) The conditions are unique to the property, and
As with many parcels within Village limits, the subject property is deep but narrow. It measuresapproximately 465’ by 167’ at its widest point. The required setback for an 85’ antenna structure is93.5’ from each property line, which is impossible to meet on a narrow 167’ lot.
(4) The variance is authorized only for lot controls and not for use of the premises.
A wireless telecommunications facility up to 85’ in height and otherwise compliant with therequirements of the municipal code is a permitted use on the subject property (zoned M-1) underSection 18-207(a)
5. ANALYSIS OF FEDERAL LAW
In addition to local and state law, this application is governed by the federal Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §332(c)(7)(B). In the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (“Telecom Act”)Congress added Section 332(c)(7)(B), which provides rights to wireless service providers and establisheslimitations upon state and local zoning authorities with respect to applications for permits to constructwireless service facilities. The express purpose of the Act is “to promote competition and reduce regulation inorder to secure lower prices and higher quality services for American telecommunications consumers.” Pub.L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56, 56 (1996); see also City of Rancho Palos Verdes v. Abrams, 544 U.S. 113, 115(2005). It also is intended to “encourage the rapid deployment of new telecommunications technologies.”Id.; see also H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 104-458, at 113 (1996) (purpose of the 1996 Act is “to provide for a procompetitive, deregulatory national policy framework designed to accelerate rapidly private sector
deployment of advanced telecommunications and information technologies and services.., by opening alltelecommunications markets to competition”). Recognizing that wireless service can bring enormous benefitsto communities and can boost jobs and economic productivity, this important law and subsequent regulationsapplicable to wireless facilities, were enacted to remove impediments to and promote the rapid deploymentof wireless technology on a national basis.
The applicable limitations and directives include the following:
(a) State and local governments may not unreasonably discriminate among providers offunctionally equivalent services (332(c)(7)(B)(i)(l)).
(b) State and local governments may not regulate the placement, construction or modification ofwireless service facilities in a manner that prohibits, or has the effect of prohibiting, the provision ofpersonal wireless services (better known as the “effective prohibition clause”) (332(c)(7)(B)(i)(ll)).
(c) State and local governments must act on requests for authorization to construct or modifywireless service facilities within a reasonable period of time (332(c)(7)(B)(ii)).
(d) Any decision by a state or local government to deny a request for construction ormodification of personal wireless service facilities must be in writing and supported by substantialevidence contained in a written record (332(c)(7)(B)(iii)).
(e) Finally, no state or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement,construction or modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the perceivedenvironmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply withfederal communications commission’s regulations concerning such emissions (332(c)(7)(B)(iv)). Seeproof of FCC Compliance enclosed as Attachment 6.
Rapid deployment of wireless facilities is an important national issue, especially given the trend of Americanseliminating traditional landline service in favor of wireless communications. The Center for Disease Controland Prevention (“CDC”) tracks “wireless substitution” rates as part of its National Health Interview Survey andpublishes the findings every six months in its Wireless Substitution reports. The most recent report, issued inDecember of 2017, estimates that more than one-half (52.5%) of American homes have only wireless phones.
Reliable and robust wireless communication is essential, especially considering over half of Americans andColoradans do not have a landline and rely on wireless service to conduct personal and businesscommunications, to access the internet or to reach emergency responders. Ensuring access in the event of anemergency is critical be it communications between emergency service personnel or for people calling forhelp.
6. CONCLUSION
Crown Castle is seeking approval of a Telecommunications Facility Permit with Variance for Setbacks withinthe M-1 zone in order to construct a wireless facility that can accommodate the latest in wireless networktechnology and serve as a shared facility for future providers. By replacing the existing 70’ flagpole facilitywith an 85’ elm tree structure, existing and future providers will be able to deploy all of the advanced wirelesstechnologies to serve the residents of Corrales and avoid the proliferation of additional towers byconsolidating up to four carriers onto one facility. Crown has designed the facility to appear as tree speciesnative to the area and set it back into the property in order to mitigate to the fullest degree possible the
project’s visual impact on the surrounding neighborhood and the Corrales Road scenic byway. Thecombination of the proposed facility’s versatility and its camouflage design make it the least intrusive optionto provide robust advanced wireless services within this area of the Village for existing and future providers.

Yes, the lease agreement is attached.
RE: My primary concern is the language in the policy which states that Crown will waive their subrogation rights in favorof the Village (such that Crown will be responsible first for insurance claims and won’t pursue the Village for that money)but only in the event that it is “when agreed in written contract prior to the loss.” I believe as long as there is language inthe lease reflecting similar waivers from Crown, that should be sufficient, but I would love to see it to verify thatminimizes the Village’s exposure.
Is there a way to perhaps request a “lease addendum” or such from them that would satisfy your concern, in the eventit is not in the attached?

I think that this will cover the concern about the insurance policies’ need to be renewed annually. I would clarify withthem, perhaps in an email or letter, that compliance with the ordinance entails evidencing continued coverage byproviding the renewed policies annually. Do you happen to have the lease agreement? My primary concern is thelanguage in the policy which states that Crown will waive their subrogation rights in favor of the Village (such that Crownwill be responsible first for insurance claims and won’t pursue the Village for that money) but only in the event that it is“when agreed in written contract prior to the loss.” I believe as long as there is language in the lease reflecting similarwaivers from Crown, that should be sufficient, but I would love to see it to verify that minimizes the Village’s exposure.

Cc: Randy Autio; patrick@NMLGLcomSubject: Re: Crown insurance certificate and bond statement
Good evening Laurie;
I am writing to follow up with you regarding the liability insurance and bond statement from Crown Castle for replacingthe cell tower located at the Fire Station. I reviewed the insurance coverage on the policy Crown Castle secured, and itappears to be exactly in compliance with the Village code dictating the minimum requirements for both coverages andthe bond. I do have a couple of notes, which are largely items to consider with the understanding that theirdevelopment of the site and continued lease of the cell tower space will last for greater than one year.
The Village may want to request that Crown Castle procures their policy for a longer term of insurance coverage. As itstands, the policy is set to expire after one year, which means that Crown will need to provide the Village with arenewed policy statement annually. Based on the existing codes and ordinances, it seems that annual renewal wherebythe insured provides new policy information on expiration of the old policy is somewhat standard practice for theVillage. There is nothing wrong with this, but it does mean that the Village, and/or Crown, will need to be aware of theexpiration date of the policy and either request or provide the renewed policy information. I suggest ensuring that thelease clarifies Crown Castle’s requirement to maintain these minimum insurance coverages through the duration of theirpresence on the premises, and that they are required to provide a copy of the annual insurance policy renewal to theVillage no later than the date of expiration each year.
The other thought I have is that there is a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Village written into the policy — this isgood for the Village, but it would be beneficial for Crown Castle and the Village to have written clarification in thecontract or lease agreement that defines under what terms the Village will be liable under the insurance policy. Thesituation I can foresee this perhaps arising is if the Village or one of the Village’s employees causes the damage to thecell tower. It would be worth putting terms for subrogation into the written lease agreement, as the insurance policyspecifically states that terms for subrogation must be expressed in writing for the waiver to be in effect.
Please let me know if this addresses your concerns, or if you have any additional questions.Thank you,Con Strife

2 Site Compliance
2.1 Site Compliance StatementUpon evaluation of the cumulative RF exposure levels from all operators at this site,Sitesafe has determined that:
Verizon Wireless will be compliant with the FCC Rules and Regulations, as describedin OET Bulletin 65, upon implementation of the proposed remediation. The correctiveactions needed to make this site compliant are located in Section 2.2.
The compliance determination is based on theoretical modeling, RE signageplacement recommendations, proposed antenna inventory and/or the level ofrestricted access to the antennas at the site. Any deviation from the proposedVerizon Wireless deployment plan could result in the site being rendered non-compliant upon further evaluation.
2.2 Actions for Site ComplianceBased on common industry practice and our understanding of FCC and OSHArequirements, this section provides a statement of recommendations for sitecompliance. If required, RE alert signage recommendations have been proposedbased on theoretical analysis of MPE levels. Where applicable, barriers can consistof locked doors, fencing, railing, rope, chain, paint striping or tape, combined withRE alert signage.
Verizon Wireless will be compliant if the following changes are implemented:
Base of Mono-ElmEnsure that a Warning sign is installed.Ensure that a NOC Information sign is installed.
Note: The compound gate or the mono-elm access must be locked/restricted forthe site to be in compliance.

3.1 RF Exposure DiagramThe RF diagram(s) below display theoretical percentage of the MaximumPermissible Exposure for all systems at the site. These diagrams use modeling asprescribed in OFT Bulletin 65 and assumptions detailed in Appendix B.
The key at the bottom of each diagram indicates if percentages displayed arereferenced to FCC General Public Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits. Colorcoding on the diagram is as follows:
% of FCC Public Exposure Limit
5000+
This table displays the maximum theoretical percentage of the FCC’s General PublicMPE limits:
General Public Levels:Exposure Type: Maximum Spatial Average
Reference Level: Antenna Level Ground/Water TankVerizon Wireless: 8,732.0% <1%
Composite: 8,748.0% <1%
Note: On the diagrams shown below, each level is marked with a height. For alldiagrams that are marked as Spatially Averaged, the modeling program willspatially average the exposure within the area six feet above each set level. Thisprovides an accurate spatial average of the percentage of the FCC’s MPE limitswithin an accessible area.
In the RF exposure simulations below, all heights are reflected with respect toground level. Each different area, rooftop, or platform level is labeled with its heightrelative to the main site level. Exposure is calculated appropriately based on therelative height and location of that area to all antennas. The analyzed elevations inthe RF exposure simulations are as follows:
‘ Ground Level=0’• Top of Water Tank = 30’• Storage Container = 8’

4 Antenna Inventory
The Antenna Inventory shows all transmitting antennas at the site. This inventory wasprovided by the customer and was utilized by Sitesate to perform theoreticalmodeling of RF exposure. The inventory coincides with the site diagrams in this report,identifying each antennas lacation at 800036 - NM CORRALES CAC 800036. Theantenna information collected includes the following information:
• Licensee or wireless operator name• Frequency or frequency band• Transmitter power—Transmitter Power Output (TPO”), Effective Radiated

Appendix A — Statement of Limiting Conditions
Sitesafe will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect the site orproperty.
Due to the complexity of some wireless sites, Sitesafe performed this analysis andcreated this report utilizing best industry practices and due diligence. Sitesafe cannotbe held accountable or responsible for anomalies or discrepancies due to actual siteconditions (i.e. mislabeling of antennas or equipment, inaccessible cable runs,inaccessible antennas or equipment, etc.) or information or data supplied by VerizonWireless, the site manager, or their affiliates, subcontractors or assigns.
Sitesafe has provided computer generated model(s) in this Site Compliance Report toshow approximate dimensions of the site, and the model is included to assist thereader of the compliance report to visualize the site area, and to provide supportingdocumentation for Sitesafe’s recommendations.
Sitesafe may note in the Site Compliance Report any adverse physical conditions, suchas needed repairs, observed during the survey of the subject property or that Sitesafebecame aware of during the normal research involved in performing this survey.Sitesafe will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for anyengineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist.Because Sitesafe is not an expert in the field of mechanical engineering or buildingmaintenance, the Site Compliance Report must not be considered a structural orphysical engineering report
Sitesafe obtained information used in this Site Compliance Report from sources thatSitesafe considers reliable and believes them to be true and correct. Sitesafe does notassume any responsibility tar the accuracy of such items that were furnished by otherparties. When conflicts in information occur between data provided by a second partyand physical data collected by Sitesafe, the physical data will be used.

Appendix B — Assumptions and Definitions
General Model AssumptionsIn this site compliance report, it is assumed that all antennas are operating at fullpower at all times. Software modeling was performed for all transmitting antennaslocated on the site. Sitesafe has further assumed a 100% duty cycle and maximumradiated power.
The site has been modeled with these assumptions to show the maximum RF energydensity. Sitesafe believes this to be a worst-case analysis, based on best availabledata. Areas modeled to predict exposure exposure greater than 100% of theapplicable MPE level may not actually occur but are shown as a worst-caseprediction that could be realized real time. Sitesafe believes these areas to be safefor entry by occupationally trained personnel utilizing appropriate personalprotective equipment (in most cases, a personal monitor).
Thus, at any time, if power density measurements were made, we believe the realtime measurements would indicate levels below those depicted in the RF exposurediagram(s) in this report. By modeling in this way, Sitesafe has conservatively shownexclusion areas — areas that should not be entered without the use of a personalmonitor, carriers reducing power, or performing real-time measurements to indicatereal-time exposure levels.

Definitions
5% Rule - The rules adopted by the FCC specify that, in general, at multipletransmitter sites actions necessary to bring the area into compliance with theguidelines are the shared responsibility of all licensees whose transmitters producefield strengths or power density levels at the area in question in excess of 5% of theexposure limits. In other words, any wireless operator that contributes 5% or greater ofthe MPE limit in an area that is identified to be greater than 100% of the MPE limit isresponsible for taking corrective actions to bring the site into compliance.
Compliance — The determination of whether a site complies with FCC standards withregards to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields fromtransmitting antennas.
Decibel (dB) - A unit for measuring power or strength of a signal.
Duty Cycle - The percent of pulse duration to the pulse period of a periodic pulsetrain. Also, may be a measure of the temporal transmission characteristic of anintermittently transmitting RF source such as a paging antenna by dividing averagetransmission duration by the average period for transmission. A duty cycle of 100%corresponds to continuous operation.
Effective (or Equivalent) Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) - The product of the powersupplied to the antenna and the antenna gain in a given direction relative to anisotropic antenna.
Effective Radiated Power (ERP) — The product of the power supplied to the antennaand the antenna gain in a given direction relative to a half-wave dipole antenna.
Gain (of an antenna) — The ratio, usually expressed in decibels, of the power requiredat the input of a loss-free reference antenna to the power supplied to the input of thegiven antenna to produce, in a given direction, the same field strength or the samepower density at the same distance. When not specified otherwise, the gain refers tothe direction of maximum radiation. Gain may be considered for a specifiedpolarization. Gain may be referenced to an isotropic antenna (dBi) or a half-wavedipole (dBd) antenna.
General Population/Uncontrolled Environment — Defined by the FCC as an areawhere RF exposure may occur to persons who are unaware of the potential forexposure and who hove no control over their exposure. General Population is alsoreferenced as General Public.
Generic Antenna — For the purposes of this report, the use of Generic’ as anantenna model means the antenna information was not provided and could not beobtained while on site. In the event of unknown information, Sitesofe will use itsindustry specific knowledge of antenna models to select a worst-case scenarioantenna to model the site.
Isotropic Antenna — An antenna that is completely non-directional. In other words, anantenna that radiates energy equally in all directions.

Maximum Measurement — This measurement represents the single largestmeasurement recorded when performing a spatial average measurement.
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) — The rms and peak electric and magnetic fieldstrength, their squares, or the plane-wave equivalent power densities associated withthese fields to which a person may be exposed without harmful effect and withacceptable safety factor.
Occupational/Controlled Environment — Defined by the FCC as an area where REexposure may occur to persons who are aware of the potential for exposure as acondition of employment or specific activity and can exercise control over theirexposure.
GET Bulletin 65 — Technical guideline developed by the FCC’s Office of Engineeringand Technology to determine the impact of RE exposure on humans. The guidelinewas published in August 1997.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) — Under the OccupationalSafety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing a safe andhealthy workplace for their employees. OSHA’s role is to promote the safety andhealth of America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards;providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; andencouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. Formore information, visit www.osha.gov.
Radio Frequency Exposure or Electromagnetic Fields — Electromagnetic waves thatare propagated from antennas through space.
Spatial Average Measurement — A technique used to average a minimum of ten (10)measurements taken in a ten (10) second interval from zero (0) to six (6) feet. Thismeasurement is intended to model the average energy a 6-foot tall human body willabsorb while present in an electromagnetic field of energy.
Transmitter Power Output (TPO) — The radio frequency output power of a transmitter’sfinal radio frequency stage as measured at the output terminal while connected to aload.

Appendix C - Rules & Regulations
Explanation of Applicable Rules and RegulationsThe FCC has set forth guidelines in OET Bulletin 65 for human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. Specific regulations regarding this topic are listedin Part 1, Subpart I, of Title 47 in the Code of Federal Regulations. Currently, there aretwo different levels of MPE - General Public MPE and Occupational MPE. Anindividual classified as Occupational can be defined as an individual who hasreceived appropriate RF training and meets the conditions outlined below. GeneralPublic is defined as anyone who does not meet the conditions of beingOccupational. FCC and OSHA Rules and Regulations define compliance in terms oftotal exposure to total RF energy, regardless of location of or proximity to the sourcesof energy.
It is the responsibility of all licensees to ensure these guidelines are maintained at alltimes. It is the ongoing responsibility of all licensees composing the site to maintainongoing compliance with the FCC Rules and Regulations. Individual licensees thatcontribute less than 5% MPE to any total area out of compliance are not responsiblefor corrective actions.
OSHA has adopted and enforces the FCC’s exposure guidelines. A building owner orsite manager can use this report as port of an overall RF Health and Safety Policy. It isimportant for building owners/site managers to identify areas in excess of the GeneralPopulation MPE and ensure that only persons qualified as Occupational are grantedaccess to those areas.
Occupational Environment ExplainedThe FCC definition of Occupational exposure limits apply to persons who:
• are exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment;• have been made aware of the possibility of exposure; and• can exercise control over their exposure.
OSHA guidelines go further to state that persons must complete RE Safety Awarenesstraining and must be trained in the use of appropriate personal protectiveequipment.
In order to consider this site an Occupational Environment, the site must be controlledto prevent access by any individuals classified as the General Public. Compliance isalso maintained when any non-occupational individuals (the General Public) areprevented from accessing areas indicated as Red or Yellow in the attached RFexposure diagram. In addition, a person must be aware of the RF environment intowhich they are entering. This can be accomplished by an RE Safety Awareness class,and by appropriate written documentation such as this Site Compliance Report.

From: Denny Rossbach <[email protected]>Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2021 7:26 PMTo: Laurie StoutSubject: Re: Updated NIER report - Report Complete
The FCC has announced that rule changes detailed in a lengthy 2019 Report and Order governing RF exposurestandards go into effect on May 3, 2021.
The new rules do not change existing RF exposure (RFE) limits but do require that stations in all services, be evaluatedagainst existing limits, unless they are exempted. For stations already in place, that evaluation must be completed by May3, 2023. After May 3 of this year, any new station, or any existing station modified in a way that’s likely to change its RFEprofile — such as different antenna or placement or greater power — will need to conduct an evaluation by the date ofactivation or change.
“In the RF Report and Order, the Commission anticipated that few parties would have to conduct reevaluations under thenew rules and that such evaluations will be relatively straightforward,” the FCC said in an April 2 Public Notice.“It nevertheless adopted a 2-year period for parties to verify and ensure compliance under the new rules.”
Careful reading of the document
“Crown Castleon behalf of Verizon WirelessSite BU Number — 800036Application ID — VzW 492745Site Name — NM CORRAL ES CAC 800036Site Compliance Report April 19, 2021”
provided to the Village shows that the new requirements are, in fact, met or exceeded when the recommended signageand access controls are in place.
It is noted that the layout shown for the antenna siting does not include the new firefighter residence facilities recentlyconstructed, however:
They are located more distant from the antenna arrays than the water tank and are lower in height so the levelsexperienced by firefighting personnel would be within the guidelines even if the facilities were open-air constructs.
In addition the new facilities have a metal roof and construction materials that would reflect and absorb the levels inside(or on the associated porch well below those allowed) at cellular frequencies.
The detail, level of analysis, detail, and completeness of the analysis are excellent and allow us to easily come to theseconclusions. Any future analyses should, however, include the firefighting residence facilities explicitly to avoid anyimpression by the public that they are being ignored.

Here is that updated report we’ve been waiting for on the new proposed cell tower at the Fire Station. Whatchanged on our end (why we requested a new report after a couple years) is now there are some staff quarters atthe Fire Station, around the back.

VAR 2 1-03, Variance to Setback, Crown Atlantic Company, proposedrelocated cell tower at Fire Station #1, 4920 Corrales Road, Staff Summary
Applicant Crown Atlantic Company, LLC and Romano and Associates, LLC request a Varianceto the 110% setback requirement of the total height of the proposed tower at 4920 Corrales Road,which would be a 93.5’ setback. On the south property line, the available setback is 60’4”. Includingthe 40-foot width of Sherrod Court right of way, however, the distance to the adjacent property is100’4”.
The applicant has provided a narrative rationale for the Variance to setback they are requesting. It canbe found beginning in Section 3.3 Site Location and Placement, item (e) (bottom third of page 5 of thenarrative), then in item 4 - 4.1 and 4.2. The applicant lists the conditions for Variance found in VillageCode Section 18-48 (h), and their response to each condition. Further considerations of Village Codein Section 18-48 (i) 1-8 are addressed in the general Site Development Plan application itself.
Chief Martinez can confirm that the proposed replacement cell tower is sited on the property at theonly location available. The current cell tower located along Corrales Road frontage will be removedand replaced with this proposed tower located behind the Fire Station building itself.
I observed the yellow “notice” sign properly posted along Corrales Road on Thursday, May 27th
Certified letters were sent timely.
Recommendation: Approve. Reasonably meets the conditions of Village Code Section 18-48.Including the adjacent 40 foot right-of-way, Sherrod Court, allows the required setback to be fullymet.

The proposed structure is 80’ tall to top of steel and 85’ tall to top of highest appurtenance(branches).
(b) Visual appearance . All Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall be designed to fit in with theirsurroundings, including the buildings, vegetation, and other elements on the property where the WirelessTelecommunications Facility is located and those on adjacent and nearby properties, and to be minimallyobtrusive visually from adjacent properties and from roadways, paths, trails, and other public areas. Towersand other Wireless Telecommunications Facilities shall employ one or more of the following strategies tominimize visual obtrusion:
(3) Stealth Technology wherein the tower or other Wireless Telecommunications Facility is designed toresemble a common landscape element such as a flag pole, a water tank, or a tree of a type or speciesthat naturally occurs or is commonly maintained for fruit production or landscaping in the Corralesarea.
The elm tree design was specifically chosen to blend in with the character of the Corrales Road scenicbyway. Elms are a common, if not traditional, landscaping tree in the North Valley. As demonstratedin the accompanying photo simulations, from a distance the protruding visible portion of the antennastructure will blend into the tree line and not readily stand out as a wireless facility.
(c) Lighting . The Wireless Telecommunications Facility shall not be lighted unless lighting is specificallyrequired by applicable law or regulation of the FAA, the FCC, or other authority having jurisdiction. Lighting ifso required shall be the minimum necessary to meet the regulatory requirements, and shall to the maximumextent possible conform to the lighting standards set forth in Section 18-42.
Lighting of the antenna structure will not be required by the FAA. Technician work lights are includedin the design, but they shall operate on a timer and shall otherwise comply with Section 18-42 ofVillage code.
(d) Natural Resource Protection . The construction method shall not adversely impact natural resourcesincluding but not limited to resources such as the existing water table, water runoff or soil conditions.
No adverse impacts on natural resources are anticipated.
4. REQUEST FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY PERMIT PURSUANT TO §18-48
4.1 Background
As part of this application, Crown seeks a variance to the 110% setback (93.5’) from all property lines for thenew structure since the parent parcel is only 167’ wide at most. As a result, the structure is only 60’-4” fromthe south property line. Public safety will not be endangered by a variance from this standard since thestructure would still meet setbacks from adjacent properties when the public right-of way is factored in.Sherrod Court to the south is a 40’ public right-of-way which would bring the total distance between thestructure to the neighbor’s property to 100’-4”. The granting of this variance will serve the public interest byenhancing wireless coverage and services, improving the Corrales Road scenic byway by relocating theantenna structure deeper into the property, and preventing the proliferation of additional sites throughconstruction of a single multi-user facility.
4.2 Conditions For Variance Pursuant to §18-48(h)
Conditions for variance: The Planning and Zoning Commission may deny any request for a variance that isbased on conditions which are the result of the action of the applicant. Where the Planning and ZoningCommission finds that the strict application of the requirements of this article would result in a practicaldifficulty or unnecessary hardship that would deprive the owner of the reasonable use of the land or building,a variance may be granted provided that:
(1) The variation of this article will not be contrary to the public interest,
As stated as part of the justification for this relocated facility, there are numerous public benefits tomodernizing and enhancing wireless service within the Village. By permitting a new antennastructure on the property which augments wireless coverage, permits the deployment of the latest inwireless technologies and also allows for shared use by multiple service providers, the Village cansatisfy the present and future needs of residents, business owners, and public safety professionalswho increasingly rely on wireless networks as an essential, if not primary, means of communication.
(2) The variation will not adversely affect adjacent property owners or residents,
Reducing the setback to accommodate the new 85’ antenna structure will not present any danger tothe safety and welfare of adjacent property owners. While the 93.5’ setback to the property line isnot achievable on this property, when one takes into account the adjoining Sherrod Court publicright-of-way, the safety buffer of 100’-4” from the adjacent property is larger than 93.5’ (110% of thestructure height) still exists. As such, the variance would not put any risk on adjacent properties.
(3) The conditions are unique to the property, and
As with many parcels within Village limits, the subject property is deep but narrow. It measuresapproximately 465’ by 167’ at its widest point. The required setback for an 85’ antenna structure is93.5’ from each property line, which is impossible to meet on a narrow 167’ lot.
(4) The variance is authorized only for lot controls and not for use of the premises.
A wireless telecommunications facility up to 85’ in height and otherwise compliant with therequirements of the municipal code is a permitted use on the subject property (zoned M-1) underSection 18-207(a)
5. ANALYSIS OF FEDERAL LAW
In addition to local and state law, this application is governed by the federal Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §332(c)(7)(B). In the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (“Telecom Act”)Congress added Section 332(c)(7)(B), which provides rights to wireless service providers and establisheslimitations upon state and local zoning authorities with respect to applications for permits to constructwireless service facilities. The express purpose of the Act is “to promote competition and reduce regulation inorder to secure lower prices and higher quality services for American telecommunications consumers.” Pub.L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56, 56 (1996); see also City of Rancho Palos Verdes v. Abrams, 544 U.S. 113, 115(2005). It also is intended to “encourage the rapid deployment of new telecommunications technologies.”Id.; see also H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 104-458, at 113 (1996) (purpose of the 1996 Act is “to provide for a procompetitive, deregulatory national policy framework designed to accelerate rapidly private sector
deployment of advanced telecommunications and information technologies and services.., by opening alltelecommunications markets to competition”). Recognizing that wireless service can bring enormous benefitsto communities and can boost jobs and economic productivity, this important law and subsequent regulationsapplicable to wireless facilities, were enacted to remove impediments to and promote the rapid deploymentof wireless technology on a national basis.
The applicable limitations and directives include the following:
(a) State and local governments may not unreasonably discriminate among providers offunctionally equivalent services (332(c)(7)(B)(i)(l)).
(b) State and local governments may not regulate the placement, construction or modification ofwireless service facilities in a manner that prohibits, or has the effect of prohibiting, the provision ofpersonal wireless services (better known as the “effective prohibition clause”) (332(c)(7)(B)(i)(ll)).
(c) State and local governments must act on requests for authorization to construct or modifywireless service facilities within a reasonable period of time (332(c)(7)(B)(ii)).
(d) Any decision by a state or local government to deny a request for construction ormodification of personal wireless service facilities must be in writing and supported by substantialevidence contained in a written record (332(c)(7)(B)(iii)).
(e) Finally, no state or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement,construction or modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the perceivedenvironmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply withfederal communications commission’s regulations concerning such emissions (332(c)(7)(B)(iv)). Seeproof of FCC Compliance enclosed as Attachment 6.
Rapid deployment of wireless facilities is an important national issue, especially given the trend of Americanseliminating traditional landline service in favor of wireless communications. The Center for Disease Controland Prevention (“CDC”) tracks “wireless substitution” rates as part of its National Health Interview Survey andpublishes the findings every six months in its Wireless Substitution reports. The most recent report, issued inDecember of 2017, estimates that more than one-half (52.5%) of American homes have only wireless phones.
Reliable and robust wireless communication is essential, especially considering over half of Americans andColoradans do not have a landline and rely on wireless service to conduct personal and businesscommunications, to access the internet or to reach emergency responders. Ensuring access in the event of anemergency is critical be it communications between emergency service personnel or for people calling forhelp.
6. CONCLUSION
Crown Castle is seeking approval of a Telecommunications Facility Permit with Variance for Setbacks withinthe M-1 zone in order to construct a wireless facility that can accommodate the latest in wireless networktechnology and serve as a shared facility for future providers. By replacing the existing 70’ flagpole facilitywith an 85’ elm tree structure, existing and future providers will be able to deploy all of the advanced wirelesstechnologies to serve the residents of Corrales and avoid the proliferation of additional towers byconsolidating up to four carriers onto one facility. Crown has designed the facility to appear as tree speciesnative to the area and set it back into the property in order to mitigate to the fullest degree possible the
VAR 21-04, Variance to Height, Corrales Fire Department,
4920 Corrales Road, Staff SummaryApplicant Chief Anthony Martinez of the Corrales Fire Department is requesting a Variance to heightfor a fire department radio communications antenna. This Variance will assume approval of therelocated Crown Castle cell tower. If the 85’ tower replacing the current cell tower is approved, the 60”(five foot) department antenna will be placed on top, for a variance of 5’ over the 85’ allowed in amunicipal zone. (The property is the site of Fire Station #1, owned by the Village of Corrales, and zonedM — Municipal.)
Chief Martinez has provided a short narrative explaining that the current department radio antenna ison the cell tower that will be removed. The antenna must be placed above the new cellularinfrastructure for maximum coverage and functionality. Chief will be present to testify before thePlanning and Zoning Commission.
Variances are governed by Village Code Section 18-48 (f) Conditions for Variance:
(1) The Variation will not be contrary to the public interest.(2) The Variation will not adversely affect adjacent property owners or residents.(3) The conditions are unique to the property, and(4) The variance is authorized only for lot controls and not for use of the premises.(i) In considering a request for approval of a variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission
may impose any condition deemed to be in the best interests of the Village. TheCommission shall consider the following:
(1) Accessibility to property and proposed structures thereon, with particular reference to auto andpedestrian safety, traffic control, all streets/roads, and emergency access.
(2) Off-street parking and loading areas where required, with particular attention to refuse andservice areas.
(3) All locations for water, septic, etc.(4) The economic, noise, glare, or odor effects of the proposed use on adjoining properties;(5) On-site drainage and storm water runoff;(6) General compatibility with adjacent properties and other properties in the vicinity;(7) The overall health and safety of the community, and(8) The goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
(Most of the above 1-8 are either irrelevant to this particular variance, such as “well” or “refuse” forinstance, others are dealt with in the general Site Plan for the cell tower itself.
Certified letters were sent timely. I observed the yellow “notice” sign properly displayed along CorralesRoad on Thursday, May 27th•
Recommendation: Approve. Even with the additional 5’ in height, the setback, if the 40-foot SherrodCourt right-of-way is included, is still sufficient as well.

SDP 21-04, Site Development Plan Phases II and Ill,
5065 Corrales Road, Staff Summary
Applicant Joan Lewis is requesting Site Development Plan approval to operate four short-term rentals,and renovate the existing structures to add a laundry area, interview/conference room and twoadditional office suites or a residential area at 5065 Corrales Road. This property is zoned C—Neighborhood Commercial to a depth of 350 feet west of Corrales Road, and A-i Agricultural and RuralResidential thereafter to the west.
Site Development Plans are governed by Village Code Section 18-45 (b).
On the left side of Sheet Cl is an overall view of the property. “Phase I Commercial, 1,047 square feet”was previously approved by the Commission for four medical offices. During that phase, the parking infront, including one ADA space, and four additional spaces in the back were designated. A deck was lateradded that did not show up on the Site Plan Phase I, shown on Sheet Cl and the elevation sheet A3.
For these proposed phases II and III, the area of the existing structure immediately west of the medicaloffices (second floor) is designated “Phase II, Short-term rental”, 967 square feet. These are existing fourbedrooms with baths that the applicant would like to use as four commercial short-term rentals, whichis a permissive use in the C zone as per 18-37 (3) (aa) Short-term rental lodging establishments with nomore than six guest rooms.
The downstairs west of the medical offices is designated “Phase III, Residential”, 967 square feet. PerMs. Lewis’ narrative, she would like to live in this space for now, then turn it into two additional offices.Each use is permissive in the C zone, but would be treated differently at building permit stage as thereare differing construction requirements for commercial uses and residential ones.
There is a small area designated “laundry” that the applicant would like to add to the uses on thisproperty, presumably for the short-term rentals and her personal residence.
Finally, a small (408 square foot) structure on the west side of the property designated “Phase III, 1st
Floor Commercial business area” is to be utilized for small meetings/”interview room” as per narrative.
Requirements per 18-45 (b) Site Development Plans:
a. Show proposed new structure(s) and any existing buildings or structures, total lot coverage, allproperty lines with dimensions, all roads/streets, easements and setbacks.
All structures are existing; it is new uses that are being proposed, with subsequent renovations goingthrough the Building Official if approval is given. The overall site is shown on the left side of the large“Cl” drawing, showing the existing buildings. Lot coverage is 13% (General Notes, l9). Property frontsCorrales Road and the entrance has been and will remain Corrales Road. All setbacks are shown.
b. Show al/locations on-site for water, septic, sewer, refuse, electrical points of connections,proposed service routes and existing utilities on the site.
This property is hooked up to the Village wastewater system. Left side of “Cl” sheet shows septic solids-only tank, electrical point of connection with an existing overhead power pole, and the well in front ofthe building on the east side. There is no gas service.
c. Show all required parking, drainage and grading information.Architect Robert Rayner has determined a total of 21 total (including three ADA) spaces are required forall proposed uses. (See Project Data occupant load/parking required). A total of 22 spaces plus the 3ADA spaces are provided. The ponding shown on the previously approved site plan for this applicantremains, and is in the southeast corner. A swale does run along the south side of the structures and runstoward that ponding area.
d. Show required landscaping information.Architect has shown a number of trees on the property, and in General Notes #3 states that the existingnumber of mature and newer trees meets Village landscape ordinance (Section 18-40).
e. Indicated drainage inflow and outflow locations and specify areas required to be maintained fordrainage purposes.
Property is nearly flat; existing buildings do not drain onto adjoining properties. There is a easterndraining swale that leads east to the ponding shown. The pond will need to be dug out as depicted (atthe building permit stage) if site plan is approved as some recent excavation has filled in a portion of it.
f. Include a topographic survey if requested by theAdministrator. (not required)
g. Show all structures on adjacent properties located within 25 feet of the site. (Architect GeneralNotes #2, none found.)
h. Identify the zone designations of adjacent properties.A-i Residential on both the north and south sides of the Commercially zoned portion of the property.(Commercial zoning extends to the 350-foot mark west of Corrales Road, the applicant’s property is thenA-i zone further west to the Corrales Acequia.)
i. Additional information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the requirements for thearticle as determined by the Administrator.
I observed a wall (south side) and fence (north side) that both extend westward well beyond thewesternmost building on the property, meeting most if not all of the buffering requirement.
j. Show north arrow and scale on drawing(s). Done.
Other items for the Commission to consider when looking at a Site Development Plan are the “noise,glare or odor effects of the proposed use on adjacent properties” and “general compatibility withadjacent properties”.
Certified letters were sent timely. I observed the “legal notice” sign properly posted on site on June 1,2021.
Recommendation: Application is compliant with Village Code Section 18-45 (b). Approve withapplicant’s stated uses very clearly outlined by her during the meeting. Up to four short-term rental
units upstairs, with a total occupancy not to exceed eight persons. Laundry room. Meeting/interviewroom in the far western structure.
Personal residence OR two offices, with any change from one use to the other to happen within 24months of Site Development Plan approval, if both options are approved. The Commission may chooseto,hav Ms. Lewis pick one or the other option, but each is a permissive use in this zone.

We are against any and all Short Term Rental Permits by Carol Akright and Jan Fiala.
We are against against the Site Development by Joan Lewis for Short Term Rentals.
We are also against the replacement of the Flagpole cell tower. It is fine as it is and replacement would be a waste ofmoney.

Planning and Zoning Administrator Report for June 16, 2021
The following home occupation applications met the criteria for administrative approval inMay:
ZOC 21-24. Applicant Chad Whitsell of 101 Rail Car Road will operate “CW Build Company”
utilizing 120 square feet of a 5,281 square foot home for office space for constructionmanagement. Rare client visits to the property.
ZOC 21-26. Applicant Char’let Garcia of 588 Mission Valley Road will operate “Estrella Crafts,LLC” using 390 square feet of a 1,569 square foot home for office space to sell crochet,embroidery items, etc. online and at markets. No client visits to the property.
The third meeting of the Chapter 18 ordinance Steering Committee was held on May 2O. TheCommittee primarily looked at and made suggestions to the “definitions” Section 18-30 of
Village Code, as well as further discussion of the new sign ordinance that will replace existing in
its entirety. Another Committee meeting was held June 3rd, where a zone matrix discussion was
held, looking at A-i and A-2 zones in the Village specifically.
On May 25th Governing Body heard the proposed ordinance to change the definition language
of “accessory structure”, “dwelling unit”, “kitchen” etc. for the second time. On June 15th a vote
may be taken, and an update can be given during the Planning and Zoning meeting June 16.
Building permits fell off this month; whether that is an anomaly or a longer-term trend is yet tobe seen. Code Enforcement Officer Rice stays steadily busy as normal, with many court cases onthe docket in June. Planning/Permits Coordinator Sevon Hall is busy with meeting minutes,
packets, and has begun reviewing some applications for completeness. She now takes
payments for zoning applications and building permits in the P&Z office.
