� November 17, 2009 Cleawire LLC �� , �j�� . ��__� c/o Buell Consulting Attn: Tony Vavoulis 2324 University Avenue W, Suite 200 St. Paul, MN SS l 14 � RE: Acorn Park & Cit�� Nall Campus conditional use application extension Dear Mr. Vavoulis, As you're aware, Roseville�s Planning Commission tabled its discussion of the proposal to locate a telecommunication tower in Acorn Park so that an alternative plan may be prepared. The City Council also tabled its consideration of the tower on the City Hall Campus as a result of some discomfort with respect to the proposed location. Because Roseville is the land owner in these requests, a general consensus (if not unanimous agreement) among City Council and staff members to support the proposed tower facilities is a critical characteristic of the plans in both locations; to this end, staff and City Council members require additional time to work through the internal issues prior to resuming a collaborative effort with you to design and locate towers (and the related ground facilities) in a way that best meets everyone's needs. Minnesota Statute l 5.99 requires the City of Roseville to formally approve or deny your conditional use requests within 60 days of the date of your application. I received the applications on October 9, 2009, which means that Roseville has until December 8, 2009 to take formal action. Given that City staff has not yet been able to resolve conflicting internal interests and that the Planning Commission and City Council have yet to act on one or both of the conditional use requests, the City Council will not be able to approve or deny the proposed conditional uses by the December 8`h deadline. To deal with a situation like this in which lingering issues need to be resolved, Minnesota Statute 15.99 also allows the City one opportunity to extend the time allowed for final action approving or denying requests for an additional 60 days. Since the City Council will not be taking final action on your requests within the original 60-day timeframe, the intent of this letter is to notify you that the time limit for final action on both of your conditional use requests is being extended. While Roseville nov�� has until February 6, 2010 to finally approve or deny your conditional use requests, we have no interest in the process lasting that long. Community Development staff will make every reasonable effort to achieve a resolution of the conditional use applications well before that date. Please feel free call me at 651-792-7073 if you have any questions or concerns.
