ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 13. 1998 5 . Mr. Fritsinger responded that the current lease of $750 per month was a little low for a market price, but was not that far out of line. Mr. Fritsinger also stated that the possibility of enhancing future revenue through leasing Nextel's unused space on the water tower may make the current monthly lease agreement worthwhile. Councilmember Malone stated that the visibility ofthe red light on top of the water tower that had been voluntarily installed by the City may be blocked by the proposed antennas. If the FAA required the light to be visible in the future, the applicant would be responsible for ensuring visibility. Councilmember Malone explained that he did not expect any changes in the FAA regulation. MOTION: Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Malone seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 95-1, for the requested modification to the antennas including the removal of three whip antennas conditioned on painting of the three sets of tlrree antennas to match the water tower and provision of two ESMR portable or transportable telephones to the City.
