The Study Committee has asked for recommendations from the Planning Commission and Council relative to improvement of the Highway. Mulcahy referred to the report prepared by the Highway Department and indicated that the report was a valuable information resource. He explained that other communities involved would be more affected by the plan than Arden Hills, . however, the Study Committee asked for Arden Hills recommendations or comments. Mulcahy suggested the Planning Commission request Planner Miller to review the report, from a technical viewpoint, and work with a subcommittee to determine any recommendations or comments Arden Hills would propose for the improvement of Highway 96. He noted that the improvements will begin at the White Bear Lake end of the highway and recommended that Arden Hills, at this time, be mostly concerned with limiting access points onto the highway. The Commission members thanked Mulcahy for his report and taking the time to appear at the meeting. CASE #87-28; SUP Chairman Robert Curtis opened the public hearing ANTENNA, 1541 at 7:50 p.m. Deputy Clerk Iago verified that the EDGEWATER, KAHNKE Notice of Hearing was published in the New BriRhton Bulletin and mailed to affected property owners on August 19, 1987. Planner Miller explained the applicant is proposing to install an amateur radio antenna in the rear yard of his home. The proposed tower will be a single two-inch-diameter pole, 35 feet in height and without guy wires. Miller advised the antenna will be located 35 feet from the house and approximately 35 feet from each side lot line; it will be approximately 60 feet from the rear lot line. Under the "electronic tower" definition, ham radio towers require a Special Use Permit in the R-l District. . Miller advised the SUP requirement relates primarily to two issues; public safety and neighborhood aesthetics. He stated that the location of the antenna relative to its height is such that in case of windfall, it would clear the house and any adjacent properties. Miller noted that the support post has a windspeed survival rating of 80 mph, which is the normal building code requirement.
