The need for this height is to provide both the <br />required radio system coverage and to provide adequate height for the microwave radio <br />communication link to clear potential ground obstructions. Please review the attached <br />coverage studies and microwave path profiles completed by our system consultant. <br />4. The area water tower structure, both in and around Lino Lakes, have been unable to <br />provide the required system design needs. They either are insufficient in height to <br />provide the required microwave path clearance or had inadequate space available for full <br />system expansion needs. <br />As we discussed the applicable ordinances, the site plan review process is a meet - and - confer that <br />the State of Minnesota uses to work with the local cities and/or counties on building projects <br />planned for State property. The State Statute that allows the Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation the right to proceed is Minnesota Statute § 645.27 and MS 16B.61 & MS 16B.60. <br />I hope this provides the requested information to further clarify our plan for developing this <br />location. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to <br />contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lynn A.
