<br />1124.04 1124.04 <br />(Rev. 2/97) <br /> <br />1124.04: CO-LOCATION REQUIREMENTS: <br /> <br />Subd. 1. A proposal for a new wireless telecommunication tower shall not be approved unless <br />the applicant documents to the satisfaction of the City that the antennae planned for the <br />proposed tower cannot be accommodated on an existing or approved tower or commercial or <br />industrial building within a one-half (½) mile radius, transcending municipal borders, due to one <br />or more of the following: (Ord. 588, 2-10-97) <br /> <br /> a. The antenna would exceed the structural capacity of the existing or approved tower <br />or commercial building. (Ord. 588, 2-10-97) <br /> <br /> b. The antenna would cause interference with other existing or planned equipment at <br />the tower or building. (Ord. 588, 2-10-97) <br /> <br /> c. Existing or approved towers and commercial buildings cannot reasonably <br />accommodate the antenna at a height necessary for the proposed antenna to function. <br /> (Ord. 588, 2-10-97) <br /> <br /> d. Existing or approved towers and commercial buildings are outside of the <br />documented search area. (Ord. 588, 2-10-97) <br /> <br /> e. The owners or lessors of existing or approved towers and commercial buildings are unwilling <br />to allow co-location upon their facilities or are unavailable to grant such an allowance. (Ord. <br />588, 2-10-97) <br /> <br /> f. Approval cannot be obtained for co-locating upon an existing tower or antenna site which is <br />within the documented search area but outside Mounds View municipal boundaries. (Ord. 588, <br />2-10-97) <br /> <br />Subd. 2. It is the City's intent to encourage co-locating providers to share accessory <br />equipment building space whenever possible and practical so as to minimize the number of <br />necessary accessory buildings and their impact upon the surrounding community. An <br />applicant co-locating on another provider's tower shall incorporate its base transceiver <br />station and all other equipment into an existing accessory equipment building or suitable <br />principal structure, except as otherwise provided in this subdivision 2. If this requirement <br />cannot be met due to insufficient space within the existing accessory building, security <br />issues, competition or compatibility concerns, or for other reasons, one of the following <br />options, ranked in preferential order, shall be utilized: (Ord. 588, 2-10-97) <br /> <br /> a. The existing accessory building shall be expanded to a size sufficient to house the <br />co-locator's equipment. Such building expansion shall match the design and features <br />of the existing accessory equipment building. The applicant shall obtain a building <br />permit from the City prior to construction. (Ord. 588, 2-10-97) <br /> <br /> b. A cement pad shall be constructed alongside and adjacent to the existing accessory <br />equipment building upon which the co-locator's equipment shall be attached. The <br />applicant shall obtain a building permit from the City prior to construction. (Ord. 588, 2- <br />10-97)
