JUL -02 -1998 15:23 NAC <br />612 595 9837 P.03/15 <br />Site Location. MnDOT is proposing to locate the communication facility within the Lino <br />Lakes Correctional Institution site. The antenna site is located in an area of mature trees <br />setback approximately 600 feet from the nearest adjoining property line. <br />Tower Height. Per the applicant's letter, the proposed 260 foot height is required to <br />provide a direct transmission corridor with facilities in Roseville. <br />Tower Use. The principal use of the tower is geared to State and regional emergency <br />service radio broadcasting. This represents an essential regional and community service. <br />Additionally, this tower will be designed to add additional commercial users. This should <br />serve to reduce the need for additional personal wireless service towers in this area of the <br />City. <br />FAA Approval. The applicant has received FAA clearance authorization for the tower <br />location and height. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The City does not have review authority over this State improvement. However, the <br />following design items would be suggested to reduce the impact of the antenna on Lino <br />Lakes: <br />1. 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 />3. The color of the antenna tower should be silver or light blue to reduce the visual <br />presence of the tower. <br />4. Antenna illumination should be limited to solely FAA approved lighting. <br />pc: David Ahrens <br />Barry Sullivan <br />
