MEMORANDUM Meeting Location is Roseville City Hall 2660 Civic Center Drive To: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Lonnie Brokke Date: November 22, 2009 Re: Notes for Commission Meeting on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 1. Introductions/Public Comment Invited Commissioners and staff will be introduced. Public participation and public comment is encouraged. 2. Approval of Minutes of the November 2, 2009 Meeting Enclosed is a copy of the minutes of November 2, 2009. Please be prepared to approve or amend. Requested Commission Action: Approve/amend minutes of the meeting of November 2nd 3. Clearwire Proposal at Acorn Park On your September 19th tour of parks and facilities, you visited Acorn Park to discuss a proposal by Clearwire Communications to install a data antenna that includes a 7x7 ground cabinet to house the electronics. The proposal was to remove and replace one of the hockey rink light poles with a taller pole, i.e. from 35 ft. to 120 ft. and install the data antenna on the top. The hockey rink lights would be reattached at the same height on that same pole. In order to limit the number of poles in any particular area, the Community Development Department planning staff have determined that the zoning code suggests a co -location of towers be considered over a single provider pole. This would require a a higher and larger pole (150') and a significant amount more ground space (24 x 24 and may include a building) to accomodate the needs. With this proposal, the City is the property owner and has the discretion to support the proposals or not. At your November 2, 2009 meeting you recommended proceeding with the single pole concept, with specific guidelines. This is a new and different discussion with greater impacts to the park. The discussion for the Commission to have at this point is to determine whether or not you are comfortable with the co -location type installation (larger and higher pole and more ground space) in the park in exchange for a financial contribution (yet to be determined) and increased coverage for various providers. Currently, Clearwire Communications is the only provider indicating interest in locating on this pole. Given the code suggestion of co -location towers the IT staff is surveying other providers to assess future interest of locating on this particular pole. There is not a specific proposal that has beeen made yet. Please think about this type of proposal and weigh in on what you feel the impacts in the park may be and whether or not you support this type of endeavor in Acorn Park. Requested Commission Action: Discuss your level of support level for a co- location tower. 4. Parks and Recreation System Master Plan Update The Parks and Recreation System Master Plan process is underway. There have been four CAT (Citizen Advisory Team) meetings and one community meeting — "issues and ideas". Please continue to invite your friends and neighbors to get involved, the more input that can be obtained, the better the plan will be. Enclosed is a flyer for the second community meeting that is scheduled for Wednesday, February 10, 2010 as well as several subsequent meetings. Commission members that are on the CAT and staff will be prepared to give you the latest update on progress. Requested Commission Action: Discussion and provide feedback
