Planning and Zoning Board January 11, 1984 Page -5- A map was shown indicating the existing towers in the metropolitan area and the five major airports. Mr. Goldade asked if the lighting would be similar to the tower near Diversified Products near the intersection of 694 and 35W. No one was familiar with this tower. Mr. Ostlie asked if there is a problem with multiple towers in a relatively small area. Mr. Fawler said thereis no problem with FMantenna. Mr. Ostlie asked if other towers were planned for the same area. The answer was "no ". Shoreview does impose limits of use on their Conditional Use Permits and this City could do the same. Mr. McLean asked when would this Board see proof that the FAA and FCC are being dealt with. Mr. Nolan said he would keep the Board informed. The Rice Creek Watershed District application is being prepared and there will be contact with the DNR and copies of correspondence will he forwarded to the City. It is preferred that the City consider the application independ- ent of what the FAA and FCC would do. Essentially the City requirements will be the maximum of what is allowed in any circumstance. The FAA and FCC will not seriously address the application unless they know the app- lication has City approval. It can be a long and laborious process. •lr. Doocy asked what the minimum land size requirement for the tower and support buildings would be? Mr. Fawler said 32.9 acres. The plan for the remaing 40+ acres is continued cultivation or if the City preferred subdivision into ten acre parcels. Mr. Prokop said he would like to see strobe lights in use. Mr. Nolan noted this tower is a segmented tower and designed to fall into itself in pieces if it fell. Mrs. Klaus asked who will oversee the actual construction of the tower. Mr. Nolan said the deign will have to be approved by the FCC and engineers will inspect the construction progress. Mr. Ostlie asked why would it be beneficial to locate a tower in Lino Lakes? Mr. Nolan said Lino Lakes is centrally located in relation to their market and the rural nature of the area and the distance from resid- ential areas makes the area more appealing. Plus it is easily accessable for maintenance. Mr. Nolan asked for further direction from the Board. Mr. McLean asked for copies of the Shoreview Conditional Use Permits on their towers from Mr. Short, asked for information as to what this means for a tax base for the City, what it means for future development near the tower, Rice Creek approval and a document from the DNR. Ilkt was noted that there is major residential development near the tower in Shoreview and other parts of the metropolitan area. Mr. Goldade asked what the life expectance of the tower is. Mr. Fawler
