ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL-July 27, 2009 8 <br /> Mayor Harpstead asked if this would be mainly because a resident could put it <br /> wherever they wanted. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that this was correct. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated that according to this ordinance the City's first <br /> priority for location was existing water towers, second would be existing towers <br /> within commercial areas, then existing structures in residential areas and last would <br /> be new structures. She stated that there had been some talk that AT&T could have <br /> put their communication devices inside the buildings. She asked if this was <br /> addressed in the code. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that this could be done and the regulations would not <br /> apply. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if it should be stated that before a new structure is <br /> built it must be shown that the device could not be placed inside the buildings. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that the way the Ordinance is written the use of a <br /> water tower would be the City's first priority. The City could add this language but <br /> the current proposed language does state existing structures as a priority. <br /> Councilmember Holmes clarified that the tower that was proposed by AT&T <br /> would not be allowable under this code because there was no way to have <br /> additional antennas on that facility. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that she would not be able to answer this because the <br /> question of collocation was not addressed in the AT&T application. This provision <br /> of the code was not in existence at the time the proposal was made. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Mayor Harpstead seconded a <br /> motion to Approve Ordinance 2009-010 in Planning Case 09-014 to <br /> Amend Sections 1305.04, Subd. 11, Subd. 12, and All Subsequent <br /> Numbering, and Section 1325.09 of the Zoning Code Regarding <br /> Antennas and Towers with the amendment to Section 1325.09 Subd. 3 <br /> Item B in the July 27, 2009, Report to the City Council and to Approve <br /> Publishing a Summary of Ordinance 2009-010.
