NARRATIVE QWEST Wireless, L.L.c., in order to comply with our license with the Federal Communication Commission (1012.l0:A.5), needs to fill in our coverage and to provide additional capacity on Highway 36 to offload MIN 102,2233 Hamline Avenue North, Roseville, MN 55133. Please see the letter from the RF Engineer. (Section 4) A map is included in this section that shows our towers and there effective transmission. Please not the area that MIN 544 would cover. This tower is located on city land and is allowed with a conditional use permit. (1012.l0A.l) (1012.l0A.3.) The ownership ofthis tower will revert to the city at the end of the lease period. The Tower is constructed in such a manner that, in the future, the city could add a 40 ft. section to the top to be used by the city for emergency communication, connecting the fire stations. If the city or Qwest should determine that the tower should be removed, then we will take it down and return the land to it's original condition, reasonable wear & tear excepted. The lease states a timetable of termination. We will furnish a performance bond estimated at $30,OOO,if requested to enable the removal ofthe tower. (1012.l0:A.) The site is located in the south west corner of the property and is screened by a grove of pine trees, the top of the antenna would be slightly above the tree line. The site is 5 ft. from the back and back side and is more than 30 ft. from any front property line. (1012.l0:A.6) The tower will be a city approved Gray (1012.l0A.7), with a 11' x IT inch sign giving emergency numbers as required by the FCC. Our support equipment at the base of the tower consists of three cabinets measuring 3 ft. x 9 ft. x 6 ft. high. This takes up 54 square feet of space. (1012.l0:A.lO). We don't require a fence but we will conform to your preference. (1012.l2.l0:A.9). We will work with the city to landscape the tower from view. (1012.l0:A.7) This should be minimal because it is almost surrounded by a stand of pine trees. This tower will have a low visual impact on this neighborhood because of the position on the property and the existing trees. Please note that all the site plans and construction drawings are done by a Minnesota registered professional engineer. (ORD. 1198,1-26-1998)
