U 5 WEST Communications Group <br />428 North Fairview Room 101 <br />St. Paul, MN 55104 <br />Wireless <br />LICZINEST <br />Mr. Joel Hanson <br />Administrator for the City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />St. Paul, MN 55117 <br />RE: Application for a Change in Ordinance #454, Chapter 902.010 and 902.140 <br />This letter is designed to comply with the application procedures for a change in the <br />ordinance of the City of Little Canada. <br />Executive Summary <br />USWEST Communications Wireless has been licensed by the Federal Communications <br />Commission and is scheduled to deploy a wireless Personal Communications System in <br />the Twin City region. Our intent is to limit the number of monopoles that have to be built <br />and to maximize the use of rooftops and existing structures wherever possible. Because <br />of the design of our system and the necessity to locate in zoning sensitive areas, we have <br />identified Public Utility Structures as potential `existing structure' sites. The City of <br />Little Canada's Zoning Ordinance currently prohibits commercial Communication <br />Antennae in residential zones and allows them under a Conditional Use Permit process in <br />business and industrial zones. <br />This application is a request to amend the zoning code to allow for Communication <br />Antennae on Public Utility Structures in residential, business and residential zones. The <br />accompanying equipment package would need to be located below and within the <br />supporting legs of the Public Utility Structure and would be subject to city review and <br />approval. <br />We would be interested in this allowance under an Administrative Review process. <br />Page 41 <br />
