• • • Planning and Zoning November 14, 1984 Page Three At this time (8:25 P.M.) the Board took a five minute break. GROUP W CABLE - VARIANCE, CONDITIONAL USE, METES & BOUNDS CONVEYANCE Mr. Steve Nierengarten and Mr. Zurek were representing Group W in their request to purchase a ten acre parcel to be used for the purposes of cable TV, which would include construction of one 150' antenna (which would be a conditional use) and two 22' diameter dishes on grade. Group W's selection of the site on Birch Street (just behind the present tower) was made because of its central location to the area to be serviced (Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Lexington and Centerville). They have researched several sites which resulted in several conflicts including "noisy" air space, improper zoning, etc. The problem with the site in question is the fact that it does not have the frontage to meet ordinance requirements. Group W felt that the problem of access has been taken care of even though the land in question does not have necessary frontage. Mr. Cody moved that the application of Group W for a metes and bounds subdivision for certain property legally described on the application be denied due to the fact that the property does not have the 330' frontage as required by the City ordinance. Motion seconded by Mrs. Klaus. Mr. Goldade asked if there would be a time restriction which would not allow Group W to reapply, possibly with a different site, until a certain period of time had elapsed. It was the understanding of the Board that there is no such time restriction which would apply to this situation and that Group W could return as soon as they wish with another request. Mr. McLean reminded Group W representa- tives that the P & Z Board was a recommending body and that the City Council would take the final action to accept or deny the request. On voting on the motion, Mr. Prokop and Mr. Goldade voted nay, Mr. McLean, Mrs. Klaus and Mr. Cody voted aye. Motion carried. NEW BUSINESS Mr. McLean reported that he had received a phone call from Mr. Larry Brokke who owns a parcel of land partially in Lino Lakes and partially in Centerville. Mr. Brokke has been notified that Centerville is considering changing the zoning classification of his land in Center- ville, and he is concerned about this devaluating his property. Mr. Brokke did not request any particular action be taken, although Mr. McLean felt that the City should be involved as a service to a Lino Lakes citizen. Mr. McLean told Mr. Brokke that he would bring the item to the attention of the Building Inspector and the City Admin- istrator and felt that the City Administrator should look into the problem.
