Ramsey County, Minnesota, Abstract Property. <br /> <br />(PID # 082923310007). <br /> <br />WHEREAS, Section 1012.IOAIO requires support buildings to house switching and <br />other communication equipment to be a maximum of 200 square feet in size; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, Verizon Wireless has proposed a support building 240 square feet in size or <br />40 square feet greater than the City Code allowance; <br /> <br />WHEREAS, Verizon Wireless has stated that the 240 square foot (12 foot by 20 foot) <br />support building is necessary to house the radio, computers, and climate control system; provide <br />access to all sides; and provide technician's safety. <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Roseville Planning Commission, on March 14, 200 I, conducted a public <br />hearing regarding the Verizon Wireless variance request and made the following findings: <br /> <br />a. Verizon Wireless did create the hardship: The City Code requires a maximum <br />equipment building size of 200 square feet. Verizon Wireless has proposed a <br />structure 240 square feet in size, 40 feet greater than the Code. However, the City <br />Code requirement of 200 square feet has a limited ability to meet all <br />telecommunication provider needs. Specifically, Verizon Wireless requires an <br />equipment shelter 40 square feet larger than the City Code to properly meet <br />technician's safety needs and necessary room for equipment. <br /> <br />b. The construction of the 240 square foot equipment shelter can be justified as <br />support space for a telecommunication tower (monopole) by providing <br />technicians with needed space for accessing, maneuvering, and utilizing <br />equipment necessary in the function of the telecommunication device (multiple <br />antennas). <br /> <br />c. The impacts of this redevelopment project, if the variances were issued, will not <br />create any significant community impacts on the health, safety, or general <br />welfare. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Roseville City Council, to <br /> <br />2 <br />
