. . . OPENING STATEMENT In its pursuit of providing the highest quality digital wireless service, V oiceStream WIreless ("V oiceStream') proposes to install wireless telecommunication antennas with accompanying equipment on the rooftop of the Roseville Professional Center building located at 2233 North Hamline, Roseville, MN, within the B-1 Zoning District. Therefore, V oiceStream is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to install the aforementioned telecommunication facility. As part of V oiceStream' s ongoing development and improvement of its wireless network,. Radio Frequency (IIRF) engineers have identified the need for a facility to serve the area South of Highway 36, between Cleveland Ave. and Hamline Ave in Roseville to accommodate the large number of V oiceStream customer usage in that area. The required location for the facility was determined by computer modeling that evaluates popuJation density, topography and current antenna system capacity. The potential location is known as the "Search Ring". This Search Ring represents the area in which a facility must be located to allow it to function as an integral unit in the antenna grid system. During VoiceStream's site selection process, it first determines what the requirements are from the governing municipality. Once informed, the acquisition specialists search the area designated by the engineers at V oiceStream. This site was chosen because of the minimal impact the facility would have on the surrounding residential and business property, as we can locate our antennas on the rooftop. It appears the City has determined this is an appropriate site for a telecommunication facility as it has already granted conditional use permits to other carriers who are currently located at this site. Therefore, after a thorough search of the ring, the property located at 2233 North Hamline was found to be the most appropriate based on technologi~ practical and aesthetic concerns. The proposed facility will not cause harm to the public health, safety, morals or general welfare. As a condition of its license from the FCC, V oiceStream's technology does not cause interference with any other form of communicatio~ whether public or private. To the contrary, VoiceStream's technology provides vital communications in emergency situations and will be commonly iised by local residents and emergency personnel to protect the general public's health, safety and welfare.
