� <br />March 15, 2010 <br />��� <br />.� <br />Cleawire LLC <br />c/o Buell Consulting <br />Attn: Tony Vavoulis <br />2324 University Avenue W, Suite 200 <br />St. Paul, MN 55114 <br />RE: Withdrawal of Clearwire/Acorn Park application <br />Dear Mr. Vavoulis, <br />• <br />Although Roseville City staff has continued to work with Clearwire's application for approval of <br />a telecommunication tower as a conditional use in Acorn Park, we have been unable to resolve <br />conflicts between the policies that guide the activities and recommendations of various City <br />Departments and Commissions. <br />This impasse appears to be a result of the absence of a City policy for the siting of <br />telecommunications towers. Without a City policy for determining when or whether Roseville, as <br />a property owner, is interested in siting telecommunication infrastructure on City-owned <br />property, the City is unable to answer this question as it applies specifically to Acom Park. <br />Since Roseville is the land owner in this request and remains uncertain of its interest in the <br />construction of a monopole facility in Acorn Park, the City intends to withdraw its support of the <br />land use application. Moreover, Roseville will not be entering into any lease agreements on the <br />Acorn Park property at this time. <br />As Clearwire is the named as the applicant for the requested approval of a telecommunication <br />tower as a conditional use in Acorn Park, I would advise Clearwire to formally withdraw the <br />application. The current State-mandated deadline for City Council action on this request is April <br />7, 20l 0. If City staff does not receive a written statement of the intent to withdraw the <br />application, the City Council is prepared to deny the proposed conditional use at its meeting of <br />March 29, 2010 — the City Council's final meeting before the April 7th deadline. <br />I apologize for any inconvenience resulting from the City's indirection. Please don't hesitate to <br />call me at 65l -792-7021 if you have any questions or concerns. <br />Sincerely, <br />CITY F OSEVI E �' <br />Wil iam J.
