� Clearwire at 2233 Hamline Ave Original Post ^ In addition [o their olher proposed installations around Roseville, Clearwire is looking to mount an anlenna array on the top of the Roseville Professional Building. We don't yet have the plan drawings, but we'll definitely have them in time for a proper final review. We zoning types are scratching our collective heads about the fact that this needs approval as a conditional use when mounting equipment on the top of building should prob'ly just be a permitted use. Needless to say, we don'[ see much in the way of zoning or land use problems. Don Munson � , The work would tequirea building perrriit to verify the attachments are engineered to withstand a 90mph wind. The CUP is likely required to avoid situations like that hotel in Maplewood that looks like a bad haircut. T4C at 2755 Long Lake Rd Original Post The 7win Cities Chinese Christian Church (T4C) is, in a manner o( speaking, requesting a change in the text of the existing B- 3 zoning district to allow churches. As you'll see in the applicant's plans, though, this (like many churches these days) is not a mnventional "church" because there's a whole host of cultural, community, and educational activities that would accompany the worship use. Although T4C has provided some graphical plans of what they'd like to do with the sile, take them more as indication of use rather than as a specific site plan to be reviewed. Our first order o( business will be to evaluate the merits and potential impacts of allowing a modem church in an area that's guided for "regional business" uses. The Comp Plan describes Regional Business areas as "commercial areas with a mllection o( businesses that provide goods and se�vices to a regional markef area. Uses found in Regional Business areas indude regional-scale malls, shopping centers of various sizes, freestanding large-format stores, freestanding smaller businesses, multistory office 6uildings, and g�oupings of automobile dealerships. Regional Business areas are located in places with visibility and access from the regional highway system (Interstate 35W and State Highway 36)." Don Munson They likely will need 60' yards on all sides of the future building for allowable area purposes. Does not look like they have that but with such a small plan I can't really tell. My other concern would be the precedent allowing it in other B-3 locations. If allowed as a'permitted use' you would see these churches go into existing buildings without permits, buildings they would actually not be allowed in per the building code. Then a real noisy problem getting them out or upgrading the building. If this does go through and churches become allowed, it should be as a CUP or something so that they must first notify and get approval from the City. John Loftus I have concems with changing the lext of the zoning districL Primarily because, if these types of occupancies are allowed withoul a CUP or other quidelines, we may end up with future places of assembly occupying spaces without adequate parking space and causing all kinds of other problems because it is an allowed use. The parking issue at the Centre Pointe buildiong is a good example of change of use without proper parking guidelines and now we are in a position of trying to put 10 pounds of dirt in a 5 pound bag. another issue would be building construction types, allowable areas and automatic sprinkler requirements which for typical B- 3 businesses would not necessarily be required. Duane Schwartz My concems would be parking adequacy, traffic impacts, Stormwater treatment, and compatability with other allowed uses.
