- Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Planning Commission Meeting, 1-3-90 Page 2 . CASE 1189-20 (Cont'd) Member Woodburn questioned how high the antenna would protrude above the roof-line of the building. Bergly stated it would be approximately 7 or 8 ft. above the roof. . Chairman Probst asked for comments from the members relative to which location would be preferable for the antenna. Woodburn stated the site may appear less cluttered if the antenna is mounted on the roof. McGraw commented the antenna should be properly screened; the location was not as important ,as proper screening of the antenna. Martin commented that a roof-mounted antenna may be difficult to screen; questioned if the antenna will be visible from Highway 96. Planner Bergly stated he did not believe the antenna would be visible from Highway 96 except from the bridge. Petersen questioned what type of screening could be required. Bergly stated the Commission may recommend the specific type of screening by landscaping or other methods if a roof-mounted antenna is specified as desirable. He explained if Commission requires screening on all four sides of the antenna it would preclude locating the antenna on the roof. There was discussion regarding other sites in this area and if this antenna location wil]_ set a precedent. . The Planner stated he was not aware of any other dish antennae in this area; one community he surveyed requires all dishes over 3 ft. be ground-mounted. He noted the Commission has discussion requirements for dishes relative to setbacks no closer than the building setback and screening of the antenna. Chairman Probst commented it may be preferable to locate the antenna on the ground and provide further amenities on the site by landscaping. Planner Bergly agreed and noted the roof mount would require an "artificial!! type of screening for the antenna rather than adding an amenity to the site with landscaping for screening purposes. Petersen moved, seconded by Woodburn, that Commission recommend to council approval of Case #89-20, a Special Use Permit to allow a six-foot satellite antenna at 4444 Round Lake Road West, W.W. Graingers, to be located in the diagram provided by Planner Bergly as the preferable location in his report dated 12-6-89, contingent upon: 1. The submission of detailed plans illustrating the dish will not be visible from properties or from public streets and highways, and 2. The plans to show how landscaping, for screening purposes, will be installed to effectively eliminate view of the dish, such plans to be approved by the Planner. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) UNDEVELOPED LAND Planner Bergly referred Commission to the "Undeveloped DECEMBER 1989 Land Mapl! which is prepared annually for review. He noted . the primary purpose of the map was for the park Committee to better estimate the potential for future park dedication land and it is also used by potential developers to determine possible development sites.
