Mounds View Planning Commission June 6, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />parks from a PF to an R-1 designation. He further explained that in so doing, the Council <br />inadvertently disallowed telecommunication towers in parks as the City Code still references PF <br />districts rather than stating parks. <br /> <br />Director Ericson reported the City Council reviewed the resolution at its work session on May 7, <br />2007. He stated the City Council is in favor of the proposed resolution and decided to send this <br />to the Planning Commission for action. <br /> <br />Director Ericson explained the recommended changes to the Code to correct the discrepancy. <br /> <br />Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek reported that a discussion on revenue generating opportunities <br />for the City ensued at a town meeting. She stated that if the City owned the transmission towers, <br />rent could be generated from the users. <br /> <br />Director Ericson replied that preference is given to locating towers on the City’s water tower <br />whereby the City retains 100 percent of the revenue. He stated there are no other towers in the <br />City of Mounds View. He stressed that the City would not want to build a tower in anticipation <br />of possible revenue, as this would be an expensive venture. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated the City would require the providers build the towers. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gunn stated towers built in a City park would also generate revenue. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Gunn/Commissioner Cramblit, to approve Resolution 866- <br />07, a Resolution recommending approval of Amendments to Title 1100, Chapter 1105, 1121 and <br />1124 of the Mounds View Code by correcting language pertaining to the former PF Zoning <br />District. <br /> <br />Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />7.
