<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 24, 2000 <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Landscaping has been proposed to add screening of the equipment building. Staff has some <br />concerns with the amount of trees planted on the site. Maintenance of the site requires about 90 . <br />inches between trees and other structures. Staff recommends arborvitae be planted a minimum of <br />six (6) feet tall and run along the entire south property line, in place of the proposed five trees. <br /> <br />Staff has received a concern from a neighboring business that currently has a 900 MHz fire <br />sprinkler system. The concern is that the antenna might negatively affect the fire protection <br />system. The applicant has stated the antennas should not affect the existing systems. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch noted that Staff received a letter from Resistance Technology, Inc., with concerns <br />about the antennas affecting hearing aid equipment. He added the Council may wish to request <br />that the applicant participate in cost share for a possible impact study. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch advised that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #00- <br />16, Special Use Permit, with 10 conditions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked how Resistance Technology knows that there will be <br />interference. Steve Katkov, a representative of Aerial Connnunications, explained that FCC, <br />which governs all issues relating to interference, has regulations which make it the responsibility <br />of a landowner to protect its own equipment. He added his company would be glad to perform a <br />standard frequency study at their own cost using the City engineer or another local engineer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked why a study would be required unless a problem is known to <br />exist. Mayor Probst stated that such a study is standard procedure. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked what the cost of such a study might be. Mr. Katkov stated the <br />study could cost up to $750 depending upon the engineer hired. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated that the Planning Connnission had expressed concern with regard <br />to future proposals and the overall site plan. He added the Council might want to consider this <br />issue. Mayor Probst stated there is no way to predict what the space needs will be on the site, <br />and the Council is not in the business of being landlord. He added the condition requiring the <br />same materials for all buildings is a positive step. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked whether Aerial's equipment would work if they operated outside <br />their frequencies. Mr. Kakoff stated the equipment would work but the FCC would suspend their <br />operation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rem stated the letter mentions that current conditions are not acceptable, and <br />added the eoncerns must be clarified with regard to the current case. Mayor Probst stated the <br />Council is not required to assure their profitability as a business. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson suggested the Council might want to consider marketing the City's water <br />towers as possible sites for future ventures. He asked how many antennas a tower could . <br />accommodate. Mr. Katkov stated his company utilizcs 70 water towers and is under negotiations <br />
