Agenda Item 5 Page 2 2/22/93 • Because of the location of the antenna on the rear recessed portion of the building, it will not be visible from Larpenteur or Snelling Avenues, or from the Bullseye Plaza parking lot. The primary visual impact would appear to be from the alley itself and from the rear Embers parking lot. Approximately 20 feet to the east of the antenna site is an exposed electrical conduit that protrudes roughly 6 to 7 feet from the Champion roof line. The visual impact of the proposed antenna should be no worse than this unattractive existing structure, and may actually help screen the conduit from the west. The lease agreement between property owner and the tenant addresses the location and mounting of the dish to protect the Bullseye Center from any damage the dish might cause. Staff notified property owners within 350 feet of the Center about the proposed dish. As of this writing, Mr. Jim Warner, Jr., owner of Falcon Center, made the only inquiry. He was told it would not be visible from Snelling Avenue. Recommendation: Staff recommends granting the conditional use permit, subject to • the following conditions: • no more than one such antenna may be installed per building; • the antenna mounting hardware must be designed and installed to withstand wind speeds at least as high as the design standards for the antenna itself; • the antenna and all mounting hardware must be maintained in a safe and operable condition, and; • no portion of the antenna may directly overhang the alley. A conditional use permit goes with the property, not the business. It may be revoked if conditions are not met. ATTACHMENTS: A. Applicant's statement B. Site plan for 1547 Larpenteur with adjacent properties ACTION REQUESTED: • Consider granting a conditional use permit under section 9-10.01 [2] (d) of the zoning code because the antenna is a permitted conditional use, and because it will not adversely affect the health, safety, convenience, comfort or welfare of the occupants of surrounding lands. Adopt recommended conditions.
