MO S S & BARNETT <br />A Professional Association <br />Roseville City Council and <br />Planning Commission <br />February 6, 2001 <br />Page 3 <br />made using cellular phones when a relay through a dispatcher would be cumbersome and cause <br />dangerous delays. <br />Cellular telephones continue to function in areas where telephone wires are down because <br />of ice storms, floods, high winds or tornadoes, also aiding in emergencies. Each cell also has a <br />back-up power source in the equipment building-either a generator, batteries or both-that operate <br />automatically if outside power fails. This is especially important since cellular telephones are often <br />relied upon when other methods of communication fail during times of emergency. <br />The cellular mobile phone system operates on a specific set of channels set aside by the <br />Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The filtering of spurious signals is very tightly <br />controlled. Cellular telephones operate within a strictly regulated set of allotted frequencies <br />between 824 and 894 megahertz. Formerly these channels were allocated to certain UHF television <br />frequencies. As a result, there is no radio frequency interference caused by these installations. <br />Search Area Criteria. The area in which cellular coverage is needed largely defines the <br />required antenna height. We have been working for several months to locate an antenna site in <br />this area to solve cellular phone service coverage needs. At the present time, owners of cellular <br />phones are unable to use their phones in portions of Roseville and the surrounding areas. As a <br />result, static as well as lost connections or "dropped calls" are problems for subscribers in this <br />area. The proposed site is designed to solve these very problems. <br />Long before collocation was required by your ordinance, Verizon Wireless and its <br />predecessors have been providing antenna sites on its poles and towers and using existing <br />structures rather than building additional poles or towers. In addition to collocating with other <br />wlreless ServlCe provlders, we have collocated our antennas on water towers, county sheriff <br />facilities, Mn/DoT facilities, even civil defense sirens. In this case, however, that was just not <br />possible. <br />Variance Standard. Where there are practical difficulties in the way of carrying out the <br />strict letter of the Code, the City Council has the power to vary the provision in harmony with the <br />general purpose and intent thereo£ (City of Roseville Ordinance § 1013.02). We are seeking a <br />variance from § 1012.10 (A)( 10). This section requires a support building to be a ma�num of <br />two hundred square feet in size and 24 feet in height. Our support building must be two hundred <br />and forty square feet in size to house the radio, computer and climate control equipment for this <br />site. Also, our technicians must be able to have access to all sides of the equipment that will be <br />installed in the building. We have enclosed a floor plan of the building for your reference. <br />The general purpose and intent of § 1012.10 (A)( 10) is to ensure that telecommunication <br />support buildings are not so large that they become incongruent with neighboring commercial <br />
