The communication facility <br /> will include a lattice tower with antenna having a total height of 260 feet, shelter <br /> building, an AC backup generator, and an LP gas tank. The facility use will be for <br /> Emergency Medical Services,the Minnesota State Patrol, MnDOT, and other state and <br /> regional agencies, with additional capacity for commercial users. <br /> Mr. Brixius referred to a letter from the City Attorney that stated MnDOT's plan is <br /> exempt from the City's zoning ordinances.

The tower be made available to commercial personal wireless communication <br /> companies to reduce the need for additional antenna towers in Lino Lakes. <br /> 2. No advertising signage be permitted on the antenna tower. <br />
