ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION—JUNE 6, 2001 9 <br /> Mr. Cronin explained since the Building Code already covered this subject thoroughly and was <br /> the language currently used for review of permits for excavation and grading, there was no need <br /> to review and recodify the Excavations Ordinance that had been removed from the City Code. It <br /> was possible that this was the reason the Ordinance was originally removed from the City Code, <br /> since so many years have passed and a variety of staff had been involved. <br /> Mr. Cronin indicated staff recommended there be no further review of the Excavation Ordinance <br /> since it was adequately covered in State Building Code Appendix Chapter 33: Excavation and <br /> Grading, as previously adopted by the City. <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> PLANNING CASE #01-10 — ARDEN TOWERS 1777 GATEWAY BOULEVARD <br /> CONCEPT PUD <br /> Mr. Cronin explained the applicant was requesting the review of a concept planned unit <br /> development for the property located at 1777 Gateway Boulevard. <br /> Mr. Cronin presented the background information by explaining that the property at 1777 <br /> Gateway Boulevard, commonly referred to as the tower property, had a lengthy history of <br /> applications. <br /> Mr. Cronin summarized in Planning Case#81-05, a Special Use Permit was approved on this <br /> property for the construction of a 700 foot antenna tower. <br /> Mr. Cronin noted U.S. West made application to install an antenna array on the existing tower in <br /> Planning Case#98-10. The application was approved with the condition that they comply with <br /> the Ehresmann engineering report. After reviewing the Ehresmann report, the Building Official <br /> noted that the report did not include calculations for 1/2" radial ice as required by the State <br /> Building Code and requested it of the applicant. U.S. West submitted a new report, including this <br /> information, stating that the tower did not meet the State requirement for 1/2" radial ice nor a 69 <br /> m.p.h. wind. In a letter to the applicant, dated November 5, 1999, the Building Official found the <br /> structure to be unsafe. The State of Minnesota agreed with the City's decision to declare the <br /> tower an unsafe structure. <br /> Mr. Cronin stated on December 17, 1999, the applicant applied for a building permit to construct <br /> a new 700 foot tower on the site, to be in compliance with the State Code. On January 6, 2000, <br /> The Building Official denied the building permit application based on the following Sections of <br /> the Zoning Ordinance: <br /> ■ Section 6 (I)#3 (b). No antenna or tower shall exceed a height of seventy-five feet(75'). <br /> ■ Section 6 (I) #2. Antennas, satellite dish antennas and towers are allowed only as special <br /> accessory uses. They are therefore allowed only on a property containing a principal use to <br /> which the antenna, dish antenna or tower is accessory. <br /> ■ Section 6(I)#4 (d). Antennas and towers shall not be allowed nearer to any property line than <br /> the height of the antenna or tower. <br /> ■ Section 9 (J). In the event a nonconforming building is hereafter destroyed by any cause, it <br /> shall not be restored or reconstructed except in conformity with the applicable requirements <br /> of this ordinance. <br />
