<br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />Departmental Approval: <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Item Description: <br /> <br />Manager Received: <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Communication Towers <br /> <br />DATE: 01-27-97 <br />ITEM NO.: F-4 <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br />Reports and <br />Recommendations <br /> <br />At the December 16th meeting, the Council continued this item to the January 27, 1997 <br />meeting and requested further information from the City Manager regarding progress <br />with the Roseville Area School District on identifying tower sites along the Highway 36 <br />corridor. <br /> <br />Background: <br />. Authority: Towers owned by City are permitted uses in "B" and "I" zones but <br />require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in all other zones. Over the past year <br />three sites have been suggested by the communications company: <br /> <br />1 ) Fire Station #3 <br />2) Parkview School <br />3) Water Authority Property at Dale/Alta Vista (the highest site) <br /> <br />. APT has previously requested City permission to zone, license, and construct a <br />multi-user "co-located" mono-poles. One of the most prominent sites is the <br />Water Authority Site because of the height of the site. This site is zoned "R" and <br />is not a pre-existing tower site. The site is currently not owned by the city. The <br />Code requires a hearing and a CUP even if the City owns the site. <br /> <br />. The School District and City had preliminary discussions about multi-user towers <br />placed on school district property directly adjacent to Highway 36 at the High <br />School and at Parkview School. The School site has been found to be <br />inadequate because of timing, approvals, and the lower elevations. <br /> <br />. Staff has estimated that the revenue from licenses/leases that can be generated <br />from a multi-user pole on city property would exceed $40,000 annually. That <br />revenue could, among other things, assist in acquisition of additional open space <br />within the community. The Infrastructure Committee reviewed this concept at <br />their meeting on January 23rd and saw it as an opportunity to acquire open <br />space at little cost to the tax payer. They agreed that the tower could be located <br />on the Water Authority site and the revenue generated should be used to pay for <br />the Water Authority Open Space. <br /> <br />. In order for APT to begin the CUP process on a city owned or controlled site, <br />APT will need City Council approval as the applicant. <br /> <br />1 <br />
