The Plan Commission unanimously voted to deny the petition. After the Plan Commission meeting the petitioner withdrew the petition. Cellular one Antenna Request - The petitioner has requested a Special Use Permit for two locations, 1141 Hawthorn Drive and 100 Lions Drive. The Village is still working on the agreement with Cellular One for 1141 Hawthorn Drive. Wire1 s 11 Surcharae, - The State has been looking at and the Federal Government is mandating the ability to have wireless 911 so that anyone who has portable phones would have the ability to 5 10-28-97 call for emergency services . This is now done in the homes and businesses with hard wire, which allows the Village to place up to a 75 cent surcharge per month. Those funds are utilized to pay for the services that are provided under the 911 enhanced system. The problem with the wireless 911 surcharge is that the industry has not been receptive in working with the municipalities and local governments to come up with legislation that would allow the communities to collect on wireless telephones the same way collections are made from hardwire phones . The recommendation is that the Village accept requests for antenna locations and heights and place them in the JPZ Committee so the Village will have the time to review the Chicago Surcharge ordinance which is already in effect; and look at the Village Home Rule Surcharge Ordinance and the Village Home Rule authority to see if the Village can on its own enforce such a surcharge if there is no state legislation doing that and there is a mandate to provide 911 service; and it will also give time to discuss with the Village operating departments and Northwest Central Dispatch members to develop language for future agreements and special use permits. The language would possibly include that if the State does not provide for any kind of funding for this particular service that the Village can go back to those who have the agreements in the Village or special use permits and collect on behalf of the Village to cover the additional costs associated with 911 wireless service. AT&T Tower Request - Motion to concur with the Plan Commission recommendation and adopt Ordinance No. 2602 entitled "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2527 BY PERMITTING A ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) FOOT PERMANENT MONOPOLE ANTENNA STRUCTURE ON PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF OAKTON STREET WEST OF LIVELY IN ELK GROVE VILLAGE."
