WCCO has applied for a <br />Conditional Use Permit for the doppler radar and Mr. Jim <br />Christiansen, attorney for Midwest Radio and Television has asked <br />that the Design Review Board (DRB) make a determination that a <br />CUP is not needed. The DRB agreed that a CUP was not required. <br />Mr. Miller noted that Midwest Radio and Television has complied <br />with every request made of them when previous CUP's were <br />requested. <br />Mr. Miller has met with Midwest Radio and Television and the <br />residents in the area as well as with Mr. Strommen. No <br />recommendations were suggested by the residents. Mr. Strommen <br />was notified that this matter would be on the agenda this evening <br />but he was not in the audience. <br />Mr. Miller explained to the Council that there are two (2) <br />options on this matter. The first option is to agree with the <br />DRB and not require a CUP. The second option is to call a public <br />hearing for a CUP. At the public hearing the Council will be <br />asked to make a decision regarding whether the doppler radar will <br />remain on the tower or be removed from the tower. <br />Mayor Bisel explained that there were not structural changes made <br />on the property. The tower was already constructed on the <br />property and WCCO has the right to use the tower. <br />Council Member Neal asked what affect the doppler radar would <br />have on the Strommen property. He asked if it could be painted <br />blue so that it would blend into the surroundings better. Mr. <br />Miller said the Midwest Radio and Television had conducted a <br />PAGE 2 <br />0g5 <br />
