REPORT OF VILLAGE ATTORNEY JAMES LYNDEN
.
Park Ordinance No. 214
Council was referred to draft of Ordinance No. 214, as amended.
Lynden asked Council if the intent is to regulate only city-owned
parks and pathways, or if the intent of the ordinance is to cover
all parks and open space.
In discussion, Lynden suggested that if it is Council's intent to
cover all parks, "open space site" should be reworded to refer to
any public park, pathway, trail, and parking areas appurtenant
thereto, or any similar public open space. Lynden suggeated if
Council has specific concerns about enforcement problems in county
park areas, it may request by resolution that the county ordinance
be changed to enable enforcement of the specific public park within
the city.
After discussion, Lynden was requested to modify the wording of
Ordinance 214 to apply to county parks as well as city parks.

REPORT OF VILLAGE PLANNER ORLYN MILLER
Case No. 81-5, Lot Split and Consolidation and Special Uae Permit
for Electronic Communication Tower
Council was referred to Planning memo of 2-23-81, Engineer's Re-
port of 3-27-81, Planning Commission Minutes of 3-4-81 and to
plans for a proposed lot split and consolidation and Special Use .
Permit for an electronic communication tower.
Miller indicated the proposed 18.85 acre parcel at the south end
of Round Lake on which a 700-foot high 2-way radio communication
tower is proposed. Miller explained that in order to create a
parcel large enough to accommodate the tower guying requirements,
the applicant is proposing to split off the west 10 acres of the
17.6 acre Winiecki property and consolidate it with the 8.85 acre
Truhler property.
Miller explained that a 40' x 50' fenced area, including an
approximate 20' x 20' control building is included in the appli-
cation.

Minutes of Special Council Meeting
Msrch 23, 1981
Miller reported that some of the concerns expressed by residents
and the Planning Commission were related to potential nuisance
characteristics
-interference for radio and TV
-frequency compatibility with other towers
-icicles falling
-strobe lights nuisance to homes and drivers
-possible dan~er to wildlife.
.-radiation health problems
-impact on proposed park
.
Miller noted that the Planning Commission motion to approve the
proposal was subject to several conditions; vote on the motion was
split (3 to 3). Miller reported that it is his understanding that
the Parks Committee recommends denial because of impact on the pro-
posed park in the area.
Applicant Dan Vaughan explained that they do not want to be a pro-
blem to Arden Hills; want to be an asset to the community. Vaughan
referred Council to an actual survey taken of residents living in
Plymouth near the 385' strobe lighted tower; noted that the candle power
is reduced from 200,000 c.p. (day) to 4,000 c.p. (night); tower
in Plymouth has one level of 4 strobes at the top. Colored slides
of other towers were shown, as well as pictures of how the Arden
Hills tower will look. It was explained that the tower proposed
will be of galvanized metal (not a color); bottom strobe level
will be at 230', middle level at 500', top level at 700'. Pictures
of strobes with reflector plates, to reflect the light upward, were
shown. .
Crichton noted that tonight's meeting is not a Public Hearing but
new information will be heard.
Applicant Dan Vaughan provided pictures of the proposed tower area,
taken from across 1-694 in the Valentine Crest area. In an effort
to give an unbiased opinion and to satisfy questions. Vaughan said
he contacted every communications engineer he knows of in the Twin
Cities area to attend tonights meeting but none were available to-
night. Vaughan said he did talk with Henry Bruns, an Arden Hills
resident in this area, who works for Mn Dot, and asked him several
questions pertaining to the tower proposal. He had no objection
to the tower; he understands towers and said there certainly would
not be any interference problems (radios and TV's are on entirely
different frequencies.
Vaughan said he also talked to Herman Hamre (Mn Dot) and he gave
basically the same information.
Plans, indicating where the lights will go on the tower were
reviewed.
.
Crichton acknowledged receipt by the City of a number of notes,
from people who are not here or were unable to be here, expressing
their feelings. Crichton did not read them in detail, but sum-
marized their content:
In Favor
Lee Roebke - Hwy. 10
Mrs. Eileen M.Boule, Valentine Crest
Harold and Lucille Grudnoske, Hwy. 10
Mr. & Mrs. Dauffenbach, Old Hwy. 10
Rita & Allen Johnson, Lakeshore Place
Jeanne Winiecki, Old Hwy. 10
In Opposition
A Petition signed by 50 people (35-40 different
families) names on the petition were read aloud.

Minutes of Special Council Meeting
March 23, 19K1'
Crichton referred to the motion of the Planning Commission which
had a 3 to 3 vote, therefore no recommendation to the Council.
Crichton reported that the Parks Committee recommended Council
denial for the following reasons:
1. Proximity to park would be less desirable than a future
modern industrial use.
2. Potentially inhibiting to persons using the park.
3. Potentially ~amaging the area designated for park usage.
Hollenhorst asked about microwaves. Vaughan said he discussed
this with Mr. Bruns, and tried to determine what microwave is.
Mr. Bruns and Mr. Hamre (MnDot) indicated that up to 300 mega-
hertz is considered very high frequency; ultra high frequency is .
up to 1000 megahertz and microwave is over 1000 megah~rtz; there
is no definition of what microwave is as opposed to megahertz.
Vaughan said the Hwy. Patrol Tower uses 450 megahertz; most of the
equipment on the proposed tower will be 450 megahertz; some will
be 800 megahertz. As to interference, Vaughan said Mr. Hamre in-
dicated that TV channels 4 and 5 use about 80 megahertz; therefore
it would be impossible for the 450 or 800 megahertz to interfere
with the 80 megahertz band; channel 11 uses about 200 megahertz:
did not indicate what channels 2 and 9 use, but would be in this
range: channel 17, which is UHF, uses between 500 and 600 maga-
hertz in their transmission of sound.
Vaughan said that other communications engineers, Ward Montgomery
and Ron Vogamast (working in the Twin Cities) have indicated to
him that there will be absolutely no preb1em with interference and
no problem with microwave: the proposed tower will not accommodate
microwave dishes": it is not being built to accommodate that load.
It will only accommodate antennae to transmit 450 and 800 megahertz
radiowaves, which is necessary in the communication of signals for
business purposes: and will be used by the FBI and Secret Service.
Vaughan said the wattage of the tower will be 75 to 100 watts.
Equipment at the base of the tower is, for the most part, 75 watts~
there will be a number of transmitters in the 20' square building
at the base of the tower, which will be hooked to an antenna at
various stages up the tower.
Woodburn asked the total radiated antennae power at anyone time.
Question was referred to Electrical Engineer Bob Goetz.
Goetz explained that in the area of VHF or UHF he would like to
clarify that, for sure, there is not a microwave involved: the
proposed tower is in VHF, UHF region. If start at the bottom of
the tower with 75 or 100 watt bay stations there will bea line
loss, depending on line used; the effective radiated power will
consequently be lower than what is originated; the net result will
probably not be more than 100 watts/transmitter on the tower: said
he does not know how many transmitters there will be, but each
will be on a different frequency so the number does not matter.
Johnson asked the distance the Shoreview towers are from 1-694:
expressed concern relative to ice problems. The Shoreview towers .
were estimated to be in excess of 500 feet from 1-694, farther
away than the proposed tower. The frequency of the strobe was
stated to be 40/minute.
In discussion of whether a park would be possible, if tower is
approved, it was stated that it can be done; an active node on
the west side of the site is preferable; if active area were not
too large, it could be accommodated on the east side; it was noted
that the west side of the site is not too accessible. Buckley
indicated the proposed park location on the map.
In discussion of the strobe lights, it was explained that they
will be reflected upward and will not be a distraction for high-
way traffic. Diagrams were shown of strobes, with and without the
reflectors.

March 23, 1981
The applicant, in answer to concerns that trees will be removed,
said they do not intend to remove trees, we don't have to; will
leave the site as natural as we can. It was noted that the house
at the base of the tower, and the guy wires, will be fenced;
area beneath the tower will be open for use if deaired.
.
Woodburn said he queries the appropriateness of a park in this
area because of the relatively few people it would serve and its
close proximity to the rendering plant. Buckley said the devel-
ment of the acreage to the east would be the determining factor
of whether a park would be warranted; it was anticipated origi-
nally that this park would serve 800 people; therefore would
need 8 acres; at present zoning would serve about 400-500 people;
therefore would need a 4 or 5 acre park.
Comments from the Floor
Jeanne Winiecki reported that a medium density project was pro-
posed in this area with a park; noted that the tower proposal
preserves the wetland which is desirable.
Jim Winiecki suggested that the city consider the NSP acreage,
on the east side of Old Highway 10, as an alternate park area.
Mr. Ghobrial, Valentine
emitted from this tower
possibility; it will be
ference is coming from;
damage from the tower.
Crest,said he opposes the radiation
and feels interference is a definite
difficult to determine where the inter-
will also be difficult to prove ice
Leonard Grudnoske, Old Hwy. 10, spoke in. favor of the tower; feels
it will not be a distraction; noted that Mr. Joe Bussard, owner
of the acreage immediately east ~f the proposed tower property
stands to lose the most.
Joe Bussard, Old Hwy. 10, said he feels the tower development
will be the best for everybody; does not object; feels it is a
good use of the proper.ty.
Don Krie~er, Valentine Crest, said it is not approved by Parks
Committee; feels it's about time we say "no" to Motorola.
Rav Keil. realtor for Winiecki property noted that he can't
imagine a park in this location with a freeway to the south,
rendering plant to the west; owner can't continue paying taxes
and assessments to keep the area open; noted that the proposed
tower site is approximately 1000 feet from Valentine Crest area;
if ice should form, it would not reach Valentine Crest. Noted
e.
that the tower will not generat~ traffic or noise.
Mr. Holste, County Road F, said he worked in TV for several years
and knows of incidents where blocks of ice fell through a roof; a
700' tower could cause ice to fall 1400' away; said the freeway
would certainly be in the range - feels a bond to protect the
property owners and those on the freeway, should be required.
.
City En~ineer Christoffersen referred Council to his report of
February 27th re a potential sewer line and road through the
tower area; suggested that these mayor may not interfere with
the tower development proposal.
Vaughan said he has indicated acceptance of the conditions to the.
Planning Commission motion.
Mr. Holland, Valentine Crest Rd, said he has watched ice fall from
the Highway Patrol tower.
Pat Holland, Valentine Crest Rd, said the purpose of the petition
is to show objection from the people in Valentine Crest area; asked
if we need the tower; all who will see it are opposed.

.
After it was determined that there were no further comments,
Woodburn moved, seconded by McAllister, that Council approve the
lot split and consolidation and Special Use Permit, subject to:
1. The Owner will provide a sanitary sewer easement across
the property if such easement is required in the future.
2. The Owner will not contest possible future sanitary
sewer, storm drainage, or road assessments on the
property.
3. All construction and maintenance access shall be
from 14th Street N.E. (west side of property).
4 .
A permanent access drive (single lane, gravel surface)
be constructed from the present end of 14th St. N.E.
to the tower/control building site.
.
5. The Owner will provide certification of:
a. FCC approval of facility.
b. Satisfaction of FAA safety requirements for
tower lighting.
6. The Owner will correct, at City's request, any
documented interference problems to surrounding
neighborhoods.
7. Agreement for sewer easement be in written form and
state that the sewer easement ~ll not interfere
with the tower construction.
8. Resolution of park dedication requirements ~rior
to occupancy.
In further discussion, Johnson said he is concerned about potential
ice conditions; would like to get a better understanding from FAA;
needs Some assurance for vehicles on 1-694.
Miller said he pursued this ice matter with Shoreview; information
received was that immediate properties, within distance of the
tower height, experienced some roof problems; no problems were
experienced on the freeway or beyond the tower height distance.
Motion carried (Woodburn, McAllister, Hollenhorst voting in favor
of the motion; Johnson and Crichton voting in opposition).
(City Attorney Lynden to prepare agreement for sewer easement
which may be needed.)
Case No. 81-8, Variance - Retaining Wall, Arden View Drive -
Arden Hills North Homes Association
Council was referred to Planning Memo (3-11-81), Board of Appeals
report (3-17-81), Public Safety Sub-Committee report (3-18-81)
and to Planning Commission recommendation (Minutes of 3-19-81).
Miller indicated the location of the proposed retaining wall on a .
transparency of the Site Plan/Proposed Retaining Wall and Location
Map. Miller reported that Public Works Supervisor Bud Johansen
has no objection to the proposed wall re street maintenance.
Miller reviewed the Board of Appeals and Public Safety concerns
re 1ine-of-sight problems; stated that he is not convinced there
is s sight problem as proposed. Miller reported that the Plan-
ing Commission sees no problem with the wall as proposed; en-
couraged exploring an alternate anchoring design
Landscape Architect Larry Wacker explained that he designed the
wall initially to resolve the erosion problem, and to protect
existing trees, in a cost-efficient manner, and to not create a
difficult maintenance problem. Wacker said the North Homes
Association is flexible as to the length and height of the wall;
50 feet is proposed which follows the slope as it exists; 25'
long is considered extreme; 35' would be considered a reasonable

compromise. Wacker explained that the 4' height would be at tree
grade; suggested 2' height is extreme, creating a difficult slope
to maintain; 3' to 3~' would be a reasonable compromise. Wacker
said the proposed "deadmen" anchor design is a simple construction
method (4' long posts, driven into the hill); feels this can be
done without jeopardizing the tree roots; feels the visual ob-
struction is not significantly different from what now exists.
After review of the findings of the Board of Appeals and Planning
Commission by Miller, and Council discussion, McAllister moved,
seconded by Woodburn, that Council approvethe16~' height vari-
ance for the 1-694 sign, and deny the approximate 18' setback
variance for the entrance sign on Red Fox Road.
Case No. 80-19, Preliminary Plat Approval - McClung's Second
Addition
Miller briefly reviewed the proposal preliminary plat of the entire
John McClung parcel, the first addition of which has been platted.
Miller explained that the Second Additio~ was approved by the Plan-
ing Commission on July 2, 1980.. subject to modifications, and
Council on July 14, 1980 expressed concern relative to the number
of lots under the required 95' width.
Miller reported that the matter was deferred at that time, at the
request of the develope~; the proposed amended Second Addition is
presented tonight for Council's spproval.
Miller reviewed the amended plat, noting the following lots on
which variances exist:
Substandard depth:
Lot 8 125'
Lot 10 - 115 '
(DO' required)
(5' variance)
(15' variance)
Substandard width at
Lot 1 92.56'
Lot 7 85'
Lot 8 88.72'
Lot 9 85 '
building line (95'
(2.4' variance)
(10' variance)
(6.3 variance)
(10' variance)
required)
In discussion, Woodburn noted that if one less lot were proposed,
all lot width variances would be eliminated. It was suggested that
if the pathway width were reduced by 5', the depth varian~e could
be eliminated on lot 8, as well as increase the lot area.
.
McClung advised that he has submitted a petition for city to put
in the sewer, water and street; proposes a 2-phase feasibility re-
port, would like to extend Colleen Drive now, and Chickanee curve
improvement as an alternate.
In discussion, Miller noted that, while it is not general practice
to permit 85' wide cul-de-sac lots, some have been permitted;
noted that the Planning Commission recommended eliminating lot
width variances, except on the cul-de-sac lots. Miller noted that
because of the terrain, the proposed cuI de sac is located where
it should be; explained that the purpose of the 95' lot width
requirement is to establish density and basic separation of build-
ings, providing a quality building site; noted that these can be
accomplished on the cul-de-sac lots, at the reduced building line
lot widths.

McAllister moved, seconded by Woodburn, that Council approve the
Preliminary Plat of McClung's Second Addition as proposed. Motion
did not pass (Woodburn voting in favor of the motion: McAllister,
Johnson, Hollenhorst, Crichton voting in opposition).
(Johnson and Hollenhorst said they wished to walk the property to
better visualize the terrain and problems pertinent thereto.)
Application Procedure for Proposed Windpowered Generator -
John Lambros
Council .was referred to recommendations of the Planning Commission
(Minutes of 3-4-81 and 3-19-81).
Miller explained that if the proposed generator is considered to .
be a "private utility facility", which the applicant c.J.aims it to
be, it would be exempt from the height requirements of the R-l
Zoning dis trict; if considered an "accessory use other than normal",
A Special Use Permit is required.
Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommends that a
Special Use Permit is the appropriate application.
Lambros referred Council to recent legislation requiring NSP to
buy excess power from private utilities; said he feels strongly
about the dependency of the public on NSP; will develop about 10
KWH of electricity, selling surplus into the power grid.
In discussion, it was suggested that the question is "Is the appli-
cant a private utility now?" Lambros said he feels it is "the
principle of the thing"; fears it might b.e defeated down the line;
NSP is making electricity - Lambros is making electricity: it
would not be different from NSP erecting power poles.
After discussion, Woodburn moved, seconded by Hollenhorst,
Council interpret the wind generator as an "accessory use"
house and therefore a Special Use Permit will be required.
