CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 00-67
RESOLUTION INITIATING THE PROCESS TO ADOPT A MORATORIUM ON
THE PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW TOWER STRUCTURES
FOR THE PROVISION OF PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICES
WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes is initiating a study of the demand for new towers
and the potential tower sites for provision of personal wireless services; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the study is to determine how best to provide for the
provision of personal wireless services while minimizing the number of tower structures
and protecting the public health, safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, MN Statute 462.355 Subd. 4 authorizes a municipality to adopt an interim
ordinance for the purpose of protecting the planning process when conducting such a
study;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council directs staff to initiate
the process for the adoption of an interim ordinance that establishes a moratorium on the
permitting and construction of new personal wireless services towers within the City.
FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the moratorium shall be in effect for ninety
(90) days after its effective date, as established by state law and the City Charter.
FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the moratorium applies only to new tower
structures, not personal wireless service antennae mounted on existing structures, nor
does it apply to amateur radio towers.
FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED that a public hearing on the interim ordinance
shall occur at the Planning & Zoning Board meeting of June 14, 2000.
Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this 22nd day of May, 2000
