<br /> STAFF REPORT <br />DATE: 3/18/2025 <br /> CONSENT <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and Council <br />FROM: Jason Stopa, Community Development Director <br />AGENDA ITEM: Approve the Lease of a Temporary Cell Tower at 3303 Langly Ct N with <br />T-Mobile Central LLC <br />REVIEWED BY: Marty Powers, Public Works Director <br /> Robert Vose, City Attorney <br /> <br />CORE STRATEGIES: <br /> <br />☐ Vibrant, inclusive, connected community ☐ Efficient, reliable, innovative services <br />☐ Responsive, transparent, adaptive governance ☐ Balanced Finances now and future <br />☐ Managed Growth ☒ Resilient Infrastructure <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />T-Mobile lease space on the existing City-owned water tower at 3303 Langly Ct N. Their lease is set to <br />expire this month, and the City plans to demolish the water tower in 2025. The licensee would like to <br />extend the lease and construct a temporary tower at the site. A plan with details is included in this report. <br /> <br />ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: <br />Should the city approve the lease for a temporary cell tower with T Mobile Central, LLC? <br /> <br />PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: <br />The current water tower has T-Mobile equipment that is essential for area coverage. The licensee is <br />seeking a 9-month lease for a temporary tower (95’ pole) and would like to explore constructing a <br />permanent monopole on the site when the water tower is removed. The request is subject to the <br />administrative review since it is both a ground-mounted antenna not exceeding the maximum height <br />allowed for structures in the underlying zoning district and an antenna co-located on an existing wireless <br />communications facility structure. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />The City will receive a $16,848 one-time payment for 9 months. <br /> <br />OPTIONS: <br />• Approve the License agreement <br />• Deny the License agreement <br />• Amend the License agreement <br />• Table for further information <br />
