County law enforcement agencies the r police records systems. In order to facilitate the
sharing of information, it was ,-s` o ins all wide are network equipment and access circuits.

individual cities.
As the Central Records je progressed an opportunity became available to partner with the State
to pilot the implemental of the new, State funded, Criminal Justice Data Network (CJDN). The

Minnesota. As a part of the CJDN project the State provided the TI access circuit and necessary
network hardware and allowed the department to add additional bandwidth to meet the needs of the
Central Records Project. This arrangement will save the police department approximately $200 per
month on the wide area network connection to the police departments in Anoka County.

15' wide park trail will begin at the north end of Black Duck Drive, through two (2) residential lots,
proceed through Outlots A and B (connecting with the Anoka County Park trail). The trail will
include a larger triangular parcel at the north end of Outlot A, which will avoid segmenting the outlot

approval of an extension until year end 2001. However, staff did receive a letter today from Dean

FIRST READINGS, Ordinance 01— 01 and 02 — 01, Rezone and Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to Allocate 2.55 Acres of MUSA Reserve (4/5 Vote Required for Each Ordinance),
and Resolution No. 01— 06, Approving Preliminary Plat for Behm's Farm Park Addition (3/5
Vote Required), Century Farms Development, Jeff Smyser — adoption of the agenda, this
item was deleted.
FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 03 — 01, Rezone City Hall Park from Rural to Public Semi -
Public to Allow for the Location of a PCS Tower, (4/5 Vote Required), Qwest Wireless LLC,
Jeff Smyser City Planner Smyser advised Qwest Wireless LLC has submitted a request for the City
to rezone City Hall Park. Qwest proposes to construct a 135 -foot high tower for antennas for wireless
telephone service. Such towers are not allowed in the Rural zoning di ty Hall Park currently
is zoned Rural. Towers are allowed in PSP Public Semi -Public dihas requested
rezoning City Hall Park to PSP.
The Federal Communications Act of 1996 requires that i re ons "shall not prohibit or
have the effect of prohibiting the provision of pers r . 're ervices." This does not mean the
City must allow towers wherever a wireless com . one. However, the City must provide
locations where a wireless provider can h ovide service. The tower itself requires
only an administrative permit if the z oposed site allows the tower.
City Planner Smyser presentee ysisof the application noting a neighborhood meeting was
held January 4, 2001, for th._ ',;c t the area. The residents who attended would prefer the tower
not be placed on the p , �a se �; e. However, they acknowledged the constraints of the federal law.
The existing location rink lights is a problem for one resident, an issue that may be
resolved by adjusting li • 1. ement and aiming.
The Park Board discussed this application at its January 4, 2001, meeting. The Park Board
acknowledged the constraints of the federal law and had no serious oppositions to the proposal.
The Environmental Board reviewed the project on January 3, 2001. That Board recommends finding
an alternative location away from Rondeau Lake, preferably the City's water towers. As noted as part
of the analysis, the water towers do not fill Qwest's service needs.
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this item and approved the rezoning request on January 10,
2001, based on the factors considered for a zoning amendment.
Mr. Gary Lysiak, Owl Engineer, came forward and presented his analysis of the tower location study
conducted by staff.
COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 12, 2001
Mayor Bergeson stated he understands the need for a tower in that part of the City. However, he
inquired about the safety in that particular location noting it is adjacent to other properties.
Mr. Lysiak stated there is a short history of monopole safety issues. He advised he has received a new
report indicating the towers will withstand 150 mph winds. The towers do not typically fall over but
will bend. Fifty -percent of the height is a good zone. The towers are made of a very sturdy material.
He indicated he has no concerns relating to the tower coming down.
City Engineer Powell added Owl Engineering does have experience with this type of pole.
Mayor Bergeson asked if the pole will hit a City building if it bends. Mr. Lysiak advised he has seen
pictures where the pole has not come down in a typhoon. The concern with a pole coming down is
what the land would look like around it because of the weight of the pole.
Council Member Reinert inquired about any public danger relating to what may be emitted from the
pole. Mr. Lysiak advised there is a measurable hazard, similar to a microwave. The FCC has
instituted guidelines in order to obtain a license. In this case, the dan in 30 feet. He

Smyser — City Planner Smyser noted this item was tabled from the January 8, 2001, City Council
meeting for further discussion at a work session. City Planner Smyser advised staff's position has not

COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 12, 2001
changed from the original staff report and do recommend the variance request be denied. However,
Mr. Lyden did submit information regarding potential problems relating to EIFS material.
City Planner Smyser noted that Mr. Lyden has described his hardship as follows:
1. Pole barn type construction is preferable for this property due to questionable soils.
2. Pole barn type construction, without a cement floor is necessary to preserve 1958 mid -
engine all wood day cruiser due to moisture factors.
3. Pole barn type construction will reduce threat of loss from grass fires.
City Planner Smyser advised that in considering all requests for variance or appeal and in taking
subsequent action, the City shall make a finding of fact:
1. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under
conditions allowed by the official controls.
2. That the plight of the landowners is due to phys

3. That the hardship is not due to eco on ations alone and when a reasonable

4. That granting the vara - ". wi` not confer on the applicant any special

5. That t opo action will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
Mr. Chris Lyden, 6275 y rive West, came forward and thanked the Council for their time and
consideration relating to is matter.
Mayor Bergeson advised the Council previously reviewed the details of the request. He asked for a
motion.
Council Member Dahl moved to adopt Resolution No. 2001— 02, approving the variance request due
to the hydric soils of a metal building. Council Member O'Donnell seconded the motion.
City Planner Smyser advised the Council must clarify how the resolution should be changed to
approve the variance request. Staff distributed another copy of the resolution that noted the following
change:
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes makes those findings in
relation to this request because the soils on the property and the site shape and topography
11
COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 12, 2001
do not allow for other types of structures.
Council Member Dahl asked if staff would like her to change the motion. City Planner Smyser
advised Council can use the language in the suggested staff change or use Council Member Dahl's
wording.
City Administrator Waite Smith explained the difference between the two (2) resolutions noting that
one would deny the variance and one would approve the variance.
Mayor Bergeson advised the motion does not need to be changed. The distributed document supports
the motion. He asked the maker of the motion and the second if the document is acceptable to
support to the motion.
Council Member Dahl indicated the proposed language from staff is adequate to support her motion.
Council Member O'Donnell indicated the proposed language change from staff is adequate to support
the second.
Council Member Carlson stated the request was a hard choice

the parcel is 4.07 acres vs. the five (5) acre requirement. One solution is
for the property owner to attempt to purchase additional land to meet the ordinance requirement. He
stated he is not sure that option is feasible in this case. He added that even if it were possible, he is
not sure if it would change the physical circumstances of the site. He referred to finding #5 relating to
keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. He indicated that even if property were purchased,
he is not sure it would change anything.
