<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 29, 2009 <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />that is being proposed is one that Bethel University could work with for their future <br />growth plans. AT&T has worked with Bethel University for over a year and there <br />had been a great deal of effort to comply with the City's code. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked how AT&T had complied with the City's code. <br /> <br />Mr. Nielson stated that the code was gotten off of the City's website. The City <br />code pertaining to wireless towers is outlined very clearing and the engineers <br />worked to comply with all the aspects of this code. AT&T worked with Bethel <br />University on the design not with the City's Staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked if the height of the pole could be less and still <br />provide sufficient coverage. <br /> <br />Mr. Nielson stated that the best amount of coverage with the least amount of <br />additional towers would require a tower that is 75 feet. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked if there were other cellular towers or locations in the <br />area that could be used. <br /> <br />Mr. Nielson stated that they did not find any other structures that met the <br />engineering requirements for in-building reliable coverage to the University. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden <br />seconded a motion to table Approving Planning Case 09-009 for a <br />Conditional Use Permit Amendment at 3900 Bethel Drive to the July <br />13, 2009, meeting. The motion carried (3-1 - Mayor Pro Tem <br />McClung). <br /> <br />City Attorney Filla asked when the completed application was received. <br /> <br />City Planner Beekman stated that the application would need to be extended an <br />additional sixty days, the deadline is June 30, 2009. <br /> <br />City Attorney Filla asked the Council for clarification regarding the reasons for <br />tabling the item until July 13, 2009 because Staff will need to provide this <br />information to AT&T in writing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that there would be a full Council at the July 13 <br />meeting and that the Council would like to further review the conditions. He also <br />stated that the Council would like to review the alternate sites that were considered <br />by AT&T. <br />
