Planning Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> August 21, 2001 <br /> Page 6 <br /> 2 Vice Chair Stille stated that the city owned the parks, and, therefore, could determine the <br /> 3 construction of WTFs. He continued that the parks were not as great a concern to him as the <br /> a schools, suggesting that they leave the schools out of the designated area. Stille suggested that <br /> 5 they be safe and exclude school-owned property. Chair Melsha stated that he agreed with his <br /> 6 suggestion. <br /> 7 Chair Melsha stated to look into escrow funding to curb the expense. <br /> s Commissioner Thomas stated that a WTF would likely go in higher areas, and that the schools <br /> 9 were not necessarily an issue. <br /> 10 The Commission discussed the problem with the many "dead spots"on cellular telephones in <br /> 11 the City of St. Anthony. <br /> 12 Chair Melsha stated that they wanted to have basic requirements for WTFs. He continued that, <br /> 13 beyond that, there are two different areas: routine areas where a conditional use permit would <br /> 14 not be necessary, and areas where aesthetics and safety were more of an issue would require a <br /> 45 conditional use permit. <br /> 16 Chair Melsha stated he would like to see more WTFs on the water tower. <br /> 17 Commissioner Tillman confirmed that they could not turn down a request for a conditional use <br /> 18 permit and then instruct the company to place the WTF on the water tower instead of the <br /> 19 requested area. <br /> 20 Commissioner Thomas asked if the Apache site would fall into the conditional use permit. <br /> 21 Chair Melsha stated that was true. <br /> 22 Commissioner Tillman asked if they had enough financial incentive to go to the areas that they <br /> 23 are discussing. Vice Chair Stille stated that the market determines that aspect. <br /> 24 Chair Melsha stated that the antennas on top of roofs are not generally a problem, as they are <br /> 25 usually well hidden. <br /> 26 Commissioner Tillman mentioned the property owner who would take less money than the <br /> 27 commercial property owner who might be willing to go through the conditional use permit. <br /> 28 Chair Melsha agreed with Commissioner Tillman's point. <br /> 09 Commissioner Hanson asked about the height portion of the outline. Chair Melsha stated that it <br /> 30 was a typographical error and that they would choose one height. <br /> 31 Commissioner Thomas asked if they wanted to keep the 75 foot maximum height.
