' ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION—SEPTEMBER 18, 2000 5 1111 Proposed Amendments to Antenna Section of Zoning Ordinance Mayor Probst, before discussion began, noted that he was concerned that not all parts of the aitenna section,nor all concerns, had been addressed but that focus had been spe ifically provided on the City water tower sites. Planner Cha ut explained that the City Council had passed,by resolution, the inability of y cellular or wireless companies from making application for location of a tennas or related equipment on the water tower sites until such time that the City ad decided how it was going to handle the proliferation of applications d the potential for overloading on the water tower sites. Planning Co ission members agreed that the other parts of the antenna ordinance did need to be addressed and they intended to do so in their work before the end of the calendar year 2000. Council agreed that the language that would be pr posed to them at this time was acceptable, and that the Planning Commission should address other issues through further changes in the antenna section. Potential Future Amendments and Work Projects Chaput indicated that she would like to put together a proposed work plan for the Planning Commission, and have them review it, adopt it and present it to the City III Council so the City Council will be aware of the projects before the Planning Commission during the course of a calendar year. Council advi ed that the right-of-way ordinance that had been previously discussed d 'ng the course of the cable discussion should be a priority work item for them to c nsider, and pass along a recommendation to the City Council,prior to a second :r third competitive cable franchise being awarded. Councilme .er Aplikowski brought up the memorandum that Planner Chaput had passed a ong regarding banners for the Fiftieth Anniversary celebration. Councilme .ers discussed that fact that there were exceptions and exemptions that may ap.ly to special civic events, but did direct that the Planning Commission take a look at that part of the Sign Ordinance, to ensure the City's consistency 'n its application and allowances for banners. A third item that the City Council mentioned was the housing maintenance code, in conjunction with the I-35W Corridor Coalition, and potential individual changes to that proposal. The last item Planner Chaput brought up was addressing the fact that, although the Neighborhood Business District Zone had been established on a map, no language had been written around it and better defined. If it was the intention of the City Council to consider going ahead with and continuing these zones,work would need to be done almost immediately shoring up the written portions of the III Neighborhood Business District Zone.
