ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION-DECEMBER 21, 2009 10 <br /> 1 E. Zoning Code Amendment—Antennas and Towers — City of Arden Hills <br /> (continued) <br /> Community Development Director Lehnhoff if a number of antennas were <br /> removed from this tower, the Council would need to consider where they would be <br /> relocated, in order to minimize monopoles within the City. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if there was additional capacity on the Vaughn <br /> Tower. <br /> Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated there were 15 or 16 spaces <br /> still available for additional antennas. He indicated there would also likely be <br /> additional room on the Reding Tower if the inoperable units were removed. <br /> Mayor Harpstead suggested a structural engineer be hired to assess the Reding <br /> Tower, focusing on the quality of the current structure along with the capacity. <br /> Councilmember McClung stated the City had a great deal of antenna capacity <br /> from the Reding and Vaughn towers and that when TCAAP was developed the <br /> City may need a tower in that area. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the location and height of antennas throughout <br /> the City. <br /> Mayor Harpstead suggested the capacity on the water towers be investigated for <br /> to see if they could support excess antennas. <br /> Community Development Director Lehnhoff reviewed the elevation of the City <br /> water towers. <br /> Councilmember Holmes suggested the City bring the Reding Tower into <br /> compliance and allow the antennas to continue operating, while seeking a <br /> settlement agreement. <br />
