Approve Planning Case 07-024 for a Conditional Use Permit amendment at 1230 Red Fox Road based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans as amended by the twelve conditions in the October 3, 2007, planning case report. B. Approve Amendment No. I to the February 29, 2000, PCS Site Agreement between Sprint Spectrum L.P. and the City of Arden Hills as proposed in the October 29, 2007, planning case report. Backe:round The applicants have requested a conditional use permit (CUP) amendment to Planning Case #00- 05 to remove four antennas located at the water tower at 1230 Red Fox Road and replace them with two antennas at a greater height. Sprint currently has six antennas installed on this water tower. Two of these antennas are mounted at the 60 foot level, two are mounted at the 80 foot level, and two are mounted at the 100 foot level. The applicant proposes to remove the four antennas at the 60 foot and 100 foot levels. The two antennas at the 80 feet level would remain. The removed antennas would then be replaced with two new antennas, which would be relocated to a new height of 154 feet. In order to make room for the two new proposed Sprint antennas at the 154 foot level, which is the top of the water tower, Nextel will replace three of its existing antennas, currently located at a height of 159 feet, with two new antennas that would be at a height of 158 feet. Removing the Nextel Antenna will create room for the new Sprint antennas. \\Ahdocsl\AH1AHdatalP/anningIPlanning Cases\2007\07-024 Sprint-Nextel CUP Amendment (PCApproval)\102907 - CCReport - Sprint CUP Amendment.doc Page 1 of4
