ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL-July 27, 2009 7 <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that the ordinance does not differentiate between <br /> noncommercial and commercial but rather the use of the antenna. Residential <br /> exemptions are listed in Section 1325.09 Subd. 3 Item B. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if this would restrict residents. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that it was not likely in the metro area. Those <br /> people who live in rural areas may require larger dishes or antennas in order to <br /> receive service signals. She stated that the FCC regulations override the City's. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if the Ordinance should state that it does not apply <br /> to individual residents or would be superseded by FCC regulations. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that this could be specifically stated in the <br /> Ordinance but the City is trying to regulate having a cellular tower in a residential <br /> area. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated that a cellular tower would not be an individual <br /> use. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that a resident has the right to lease out their <br /> property for commercial use and this could be one such use. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked how Mn/DOT would work into this Ordinance. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that on land owned by the State they do not need to <br /> comply with City regulations. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if Mn/DOT wished to put up another tower <br /> somewhere would the City be able to regulate this. <br /> City Planner Beekman clarified the if the tower is on State property then they do <br /> not need to comply with City regulations but if the tower is on private property then <br /> they would need to meet City regulations. <br /> Mayor Harpstead asked if residents could have a dish antenna in the front yard <br /> according to Subd. 6 F 1. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that this would be correct. <br />
