Electronic Communications Policy Review City Attorney Scott Anderson will be at your meeting to review, explain, discuss and answer questions regarding the new Electronic Communications Policy (policy attached for your review) as it relates to your role on the Parks and Recreation Commission. 6. Clearwire Proposal at Acorn Park th On your September 19, 2009 tour of parks and facilities, a stop was made at Acorn Park to discuss and make you aware of a proposal by Clearwire Communications to install a data antenna that includes a 7x7 ground cabinet to house the electronics. The proposal is to remove and replace one of the hockey rink light poles with a taller pole, i.e. from 35 ft. to 150 ft. and install the data antenna on the top. The hockey rink lights would be reattached at the same height on that same pole. The Community Development Planning staff are in process of reviewing the proposals in relation to the zoning code to determine whether the towers meet the basic requirements of the City Code and they will provide a recommendation as to whether (and, if so, how) a proposal should be approved. In most cases, the proposals are made by private property owners and the City is obligated to approve requests that meet the Code's requirements. In this case, however, the City is the property owner and, as such, Roseville has the discretion to support the proposals or not. The Community Development Department is evaluating the proposal based upon the consistency to the zoning requirements.
