Approval of Minutes - January 12, 2010 DATE: February 9, 2010 Request The Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to approve the minutes from the January 12, 2010 meeting. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING —JANUARY 12, 2010 The Regular Bi- Monthly Meeting of the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order by Chairperson Daninger on January 12, 2010, 7:00 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Commissioners present: Chairperson Daninger, Commissioners Tim Kirchoff, Valerie Holthus, Devon Walton, Douglas Falk (arrived at 7:03 p.m.) and Dennis Cleveland. Commissioners absent: Michael Casey. Also present: City Planner, Courtney Bednarz Associate Planner, Angie Perera Others APPROVAL OFMINUTES. December 8, 2009 Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Walton, to approve the minutes as presented. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- present (Cleveland), 2- absent (Falk, Casey) vote. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 10 -01 TO CONSIDER ANIMAL THERAPY FACILITYAT 16274 VERDIN STREET NW. Ms. Perera noted Mr. Russell Johansson has applied for a Conditional Use Permit, on behalf of his wife Diana and himself for a proposed animal therapy facility to be located at 16274 Verdin St. NW. The property is a 14.5 -acre parcel located north of 161" Avenue and west of County Road 59 ( Verdin Street) within the R -1 zoning district, City Code 12 -12 allows an animal assisted therapy facility as a conditional use within the Rl, R2 and R3 zoning districts on properties larger than five acres in size. The property is heavily wooded providing natural screening around the property. Ms. Perera reviewed the proposal with the Commission. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — January 12, 2010 Page 2 Commissioner Kirchoff asked if this was something new the City may become involved in, monitoring health and safety. Ms. Perera reviewed the definition of "animal assisted therapy" with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff did not know if City Staff was knowledgeable regarding this and it may be best done at the State level with the City agreeing to allow the program. Commissioner Cleveland stated even though this is associated with the Fraser Center it is not a part of the Fraser Center and it will be a business on its own. Ms. Perera stated that was correct and thought the applicant could answer this for them. Commissioner Walton stated in discussion by staff regarding the annual basis verifying the health human services person was directing a therapy program, he wondered what if the director changed in the middle of the year, how would they deal with this. Ms. Perera stated they could reference this as a condition within the resolution. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if they had any special requirements for other clinics in the City. He thought they may want to stay out of the monitoring of health issues that they are not really involved in. Ms. Perera stated the idea behind this was that the City will have some type of proof or document showing that someone is at least overseeing the program and that they have the initial letter of intent supporting the business and that their "support" does not "go away" after the second or third year. They just want to verify that a qualified professional is overseeing the program. Motion by Walton, seconded by Falk, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6- ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Mr. Russell Johansson and Mrs. Diana Johansson, 16274 Verdin Street N.W., explained to the Commission the purpose of the business. Commissioner Holthus wondered how many students they are going to have at their facility at one time, where the parking area is and how far away the parking area is from the facility. Mrs. Johansson stated the focus is for one on one with the children with each session lasting one hour and a half hour in between sessions. She stated there will only be one vehicle at a time within an hour and a half and they have a tarred parking spot next to the area off of their home. She stated the only time there will be more than one vehicle is when they have an open house and then people can park in front of the barn but they do not anticipate that to happen very often and they do not anticipate a lot of people for that type of event. Commissioner Falk asked if the operation will be open in the winter time also. Mrs. Johansson stated they hoped to provide this year round. Commissioner Falk asked why they wanted to remain open until 7:00 p.m. Mrs. Johansson stated they were trying to accommodate their customers in case the parents could not come during work hours. She stated the hours were tentative and may need to be changed but the close time will not be later than 7:00 p.m. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —January 12, 2010 Page 3 Commissioner Falk asked if they will need to have some sort of outside lighting. Mrs. Johansson stated in the winter they will be providing the therapy indoors. Commissioner Walton stated the person helping with the program is a volunteer and he wondered in comparison with the program they are setting up are there other programs like theirs in Minnesota. Mr. Johansson stated there was not any they were aware of. Mrs. Johansson stated their program will not include riding of the animals. Chairperson Daninger asked if it was their intent to have eleven animals as proposed to be used in the therapy program or did they anticipate more or less. He was concerned with the applicant indicating the hours and other things are subject to change. Mr. Johansson stated the hours of service would most likely be evening hours. Mrs. Johansson stated their intent is not to introduce anymore animals than the eleven they have but would like to be able to replace them if needed (i.e. if an animal died). Chairperson Daninger asked if this facility is handicapped accessible. Mrs. Johansson stated it was not and that the clients need to be physically able to access the property. Motion by Falk, seconded by Walton, to close the public hearing at 7:24 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Commissioner Kirchoff asked since this is a Conditional Use Permit, if they find there is a problem with the amount of traffic could this be reviewed next year. Ms. Perera stated they could. Mr. Bednarz stated they would need to establish that condition as a part of the approval. If they want to review that they would need to modify the resolution to reflect it. Chairperson Daninger thought they could put in the resolution a condition to review yearly. Chairperson Daninger asked if their request met the City Ordinance with this volunteer. Ms. Perera stated it would meet their requirements. Commissioner Walton stated he was waffling between the idea that they have to regulate who is volunteering and what kind of education they have to volunteer and how that compares to Commissioners Kirchoff's question if the City asks the clinics in the area to show them the licenses of all the doctors that operate at them. He was trying to equate the two and see if they need to ask them to provide a specially licensed person to volunteer on their staff because that person could change or leave and would they need to find someone else to take their place because if they did not it would be violating the ordinance if they left it in there. He wondered if it was not the ownership that was more important than who volunteers or is on the board and do they need to control that. Mr. Bednarz stated the City's recently crafted wording for animals assisted therapy was a effort led by the City Attorney to include this health, human service provider based on his Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —January 12, 2010 Page 4 research on that topic and thought at the Council meeting where the City Attorney is present that question could be more fully answered at that time. Commission Holthus asked if for condition number four relating to the number and types of animals used in the program shall not exceed current City Ordinances. Mr. Bednarz stated a concern there would be the table that allows the number of animals allowed on the property is currently at 42 equines and thought a program of that size, the City would probably want to regulate it a little more closely. Chairperson Daninger stated what he was looking at was an annual review in regards to hours of operation. Commissioner Holthus stated she was not concerned with the number of animals, hours of operation, or one on one activity and the applicants do seem to know what they are doing and how to service those kids. She was not against having it in the conditional use permit exactly the way it was already designed. She thought they could state in the CUP they keep the numbers the same as they currently are with an annual review. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Falk to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. , with an annual review and eleven therapy animals with hours of operation not later than 7:00 p.m. or earlier than 7:00 a.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0- nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Ms. Perera stated that this item would be before the Council at the January 19, 2010 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: CITY CODEAMENDMENT TO CONSIDER CHANGES TO CITY CODE FOR EXTERIOR STORAGE OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND OTHER STORAGE ITEMS. Ms. Perera noted currently it is in violation of the City Code to park a commercial vehicle in the driveway or to keep a commercial vehicle in excess of 12,000 pounds in the garage of a property. It is also a violation to store a vehicle longer than twenty feet (20') in length in the rear yard of the property. Recently a few residents have questioned the intent and language of the City Code in regards to these situations. The City Council has since discussed both situations and has directed staff to prepare draft amendments for each, which brings this discussion to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Perera reviewed the staff report with the Commission. Motion by Falk, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — January 12, 2010 Page 5 Mr. Carroll Abbott, 2917 142nd Avenue, stated his concern was with the newspaper article in the StarTribune regarding this. He explained some of his concerns with the site lines and property values in the community. He stated in regards to the parking of commercial vehicles, in this economy what are people going to do if they cannot park their work vehicle in their driveway or run their business from their homes. He explained that people can park their vehicles in storage lots but his experiences with storing commercial and recreational vehicles in storage lots is that vehicles get broken into. He would not recommend a storage lot for any of these vehicles. He wondered what kind of security the storage lot would have. Chairperson Daninger reviewed what Mr. Abbott was trying to get at and indicated Mr. Abbott was against not allowing commercial vehicles to park in driveways. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the intent of this item. Mr. Abbott stated other cities allow commercial vehicles to be parked in their driveways. Motion by Walton, seconded by Kirchoff, to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Commissioner Kirchoff asked where the proposed change of forty feet came about for RV's. Ms. Perera explained that a lot of RV's are longer than twenty feet and typically exceed 32 plus feet. Chairperson Daninger asked for a definition of screening. Mr. Bednarz did not think from the Council discussion this was defined and that there is screening described in the ordinances currently, which can be used. The Commission did not have a problem with commercial vehicles being parked on a driveway. Commissioner Holthus thought it needed to have current plates and be operational. Mr. Bednarz stated the Commission needed to find out at what point a commercial vehicle becomes unacceptable. The Commission needs to review this also. Staff reviewed with the Commission the items that they needed to review and decide what size and type of commercial /recreational vehicle would be acceptable and allowed in the City. Commissioner Cleveland asked if forty feet would cover the types of vehicles people would normally have. Mr. Bednarz thought it would. Chair Daninger indicated the picture of the van was accepted by the Commission as what they would like to allow. They did not have a problem with signage on the side of vehicles. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —January 12, 2010 Page 6 Commissioner Walton stated he wanted to make sure that two thousand pound, (one ton) vehicles were not the cap they wanted. Chairperson Daninger did not think they agreed on weight and would go back to staff for further research regarding weight. Chairperson Daninger reviewed item two with the Commission. He asked if the Commission agreed with the change to forty feet. The Commission agreed. Chairperson Daninger asked what types should be allowed. Ms. Perera gave examples to the Commission regarding this. The Commission felt the maximum length should be kept at forty feet. The Commission decided to continue to review this item to the next meeting. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Kirchoff to reopen the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Motion by Walton, seconded by Falk, to continue the Public Hearing to the next Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 09 -11 TO CONSIDER TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER FOR CLEAR WIRELESS, LLC IN HIDDEN CREEK NOR TH PARK L OCA TED AT 2620 BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD NW Mr. Bednarz noted Clear Wireless, LLC is seeking to locate a 75 foot tall tower and wireless internet antenna array within Hidden Creels North Park. A conditional use permit is required to locate antenna above 35 feet in height. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the proposed Conditional Use Permit with the Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff asked what the Park Commission feelings were on this. Mr. Bednarz stated the Park Commission will review this at their next meeting. He stated the intent of the Planning Commission was to have a public hearing and weigh in on the review criteria for the CUP. Commissioner Holthus agreed with staff that this is probably not the best location for the tower. She thought the Park Commission should recommend where the tower should be placed. Commissioner Walton asked if there was a tornado siren pole in the park. Mr. Bednarz indicated there was not. Motion by Falk, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes -January 12, 2010 Page 7 Mr. John Lexxon, 13564 Hidden Creels Drive, stated where they are proposing to place the tower is the actual focal point of the park where people meet and kids play. He could not believe there is not a better location for this. He stated he was against putting this type of equipment in a public park. Ms. Patricia Grayheck, 13678 Yukon Street, stated when they moved to Andover the big selling point in that area was all the utilities were placed under ground and nothing to look at but beauty. She stated there are people there at all times of the year and she stated she cannot see this happening. She asked, for the children, please put this somewhere else. Mr. John Stinson, 2551 136`1' Avenue, stated he lives in the southeast corner of the park and agreed with the other residents. He has seen kids play in the park all the time and he would not want to see the tower come down with a lot of kids playing in the park. He stated they will also have to put underground electricity to the tower and will that cost money to the residents to place it underground. Chairperson Daninger indicated it would not be a cost to the City or residents. Mr. Stinson thought the tower could be placed in the landfill area because it is not being used for anything. It was noted that nothing could be placed in the landfill area. Ms. Susan Wince, 13684 Yukon, stated they live right by the park and bring their daughter to the park all the time. She did not want this in her neighborhood, backyard or the park. She stated this would be an eyesore and would not be safe with children in the area. Mr. Lexxon asked what kind of tower is this. He wondered if there will be microwave emissions and possibly dangerous. Ms. Grayheckc stated children do fly kites and other toys in the park and if a tower were placed in the park people would not use the park anymore. Chairperson Daninger noted the Commission received a letter from Renee Hinnenkamp, who was not in favor of the tower. Mr. Steve Stalls, Clear Wire, LLC, reviewed the proposal with the Commission. Chairperson Daninger asked what kind of pole this will be. Mr. Stalls stated it will be a monopole and all the antennas will be located inside the tower. Chairperson Daninger asked if Mr. Stalls was qualified as to concerns with it in case it falls and how it falls. Mr. Stalls stated the monopole itself is designed to collapse upon itself in half the distance. In regard to property line setbacks it is well within the full height of the tower. He stated they have discussed other areas in the park where the tower could be placed and would be willing to put a siren on the tower and is flexible as long as the tower is to remain in the park itself. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — January 12, 2010 Page 8 Chairperson Daninger stated there was a question about what was transmitted from the tower. Mr. Stalls stated they operate at 2.4 to 2.6 GHz, which is a very low frequency. He explained what a point to point relay system is. Commissioner Holthus asked if the network would work if located outside of Hidden Creek Park. Mr. Stalls stated if this site is not there then the surrounding sites cannot connect or work together. He noted they have done extensive research on this and the park is the area that will work. Commissioner Holthus wondered if another pole by the Fire Station would work because it is new pole with collocation and a new siren on it also. Mr. Stalls stated it would not work based on their research they have taken. Commissioner Kirchoff thought it was interesting that they could install lights on the pole. Mr. Stalls stated they could do this to light up a baseball field if the City wanted that. Commissioner Falk asked if they would need to access the monopole by a truck or van. Mr. Stalls stated they would not need to access with a truck; the technician could walk to the site and carry the equipment they would need. Chairperson Daninger asked what the sound emissions would be. Mr. Stalls stated there is virtually no sound being emitted. Chairperson Daninger asked what kind of screening would be needed. Mr. Stalls stated they currently have a six foot fence proposed but could angle the top so a ball would bounce off and come back. Mr. Stalls stated this site will connect to the Coon Rapids site and other sites in Andover. The Commission discussed with Mr. Stalls possible locations for the pole other than the proposed site. Motion by Walton, seconded by Holthus, to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Commissioner Falls asked if there were any plans to put up lights at the field. Mr. Bednarz stated he did not think so but it could be discussed at the Park Commission. Commissioner Kirchoff wondered if there was a possibility of putting this in the parking lot for a light. Commissioner Falk indicated this is higher ground also. Commissioner Cleveland wondered if there would be room in the parking lot for a pole. Mr. Bednarz stated the issue is that the park boundaries are somewhat narrowed by the parking lot and Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —January 12, 2010 Page 9 the seventy -five foot tower could fall in a direction that would be outside of the park lines. Mr. Bednarz stated if the Commission is interest in looking at alternate sites, the only spots in the park that are not occupied by park facilities are between the outfield fence and the soccer field. Commissioner Holthus asked if there was another area in the vicinity where the tower would be permitted. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the commercial sites with the Commission. Mr. Bednarz noted the revenue from this would go back into the park. Commissioner Kirchoff stated he would like to see what the Park Commission decides regarding this because they may be able to find a better place for this. He would like to table this to see what the Park Commission says. Commissioner Walton stated he sympathized with everyone that lived around this park. He indicated they needed to find a place for this and make it fit. He was concurring about tabling to hear what the Park Commission wants to do. He noted there is a spot on here near Outlot A that might work. Chairperson Daninger asked if the Commission wanted the tower in the park and if so, where would they like it. Commissioner Cleveland stated he would like it in the park but someplace else in the park. Commissioner Holthus stated she did not have a problem with it being in the park but would like to hear from the Park Commission to see what they would want. The rest of the Commission concurred. Chairperson Daninger stated he did not like that spot and felt there was another spot that this tower could go outside of the park. Commissioner Holthus stated she saw Hidden Creek Park as being on Andover's main street and was apprehensive about having the tower in Hidden Creels Park. Chairperson Daninger asked if the Commission was ok with the seventy -five feet. Commissioner Cleveland thought it was too tall. Motion by Walton, seconded by Falls, to approve the request for a tower in Hidden Creels Park subject to better location and input from the Park Commission and allowing the variance of seventy -five feet. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 1 -nays ( Daninger), 1- absent (Casey) vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Park and Recreation Commission at the January 21, 2010 meeting. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — January 12, 2010 Page 10 PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 10 -05 TO CONSIDER TELECOMMUNICATIONS ANTENNAS FOR CLEAR WIRELESS, LLC ON CITY WATER TOWER LOCATED AT 14057 ROSE STREET NW Mr. Bednarz noted Clear Wireless, LLC is seeking to locate a wireless internet antenna array at the top of a city water tower located on this city park property. A conditional use permit is required to locate antennas above 35 feet in height. The water tower is 140 feet tall. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the staff report with the Commission. Commissioner Falk asked if Clear Wireless will need access to the inside of the tower. Mr. Bednarz stated they will need access occasionally and will be required to notify the City when access is needed. Motion by Walton, seconded by Falk, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6- ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Mr. Dale Rungie, 14026 Rose Street NW, asked if there will there be interference with his existing internet and is there also any health hazards associated with this tower. He also wondered if the residents would be getting revenue from this. Chairperson Daninger stated the representative will answer his questions but the residents would not get revenue from this, the City will generate revenue to be used within the park. Mr. Dave Hagen, representing Clear Wireless, LLC, stated they do have five sites planned for Andover to provide coverage to the community. They have some sites outside of Andover, which will also provide coverage to parts of the City as well. He noted this will not interfere with other interest services. Motion by Walton, seconded by Falk, to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6- ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Motion by Falk, seconded by Kirchoff, to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit request. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote.

A conditional use permit is required to locate antenna above 35 feet in height. The water tower is 166 feet tall. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the information with the Commission. Motion by Falk, seconded by Walton, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6- ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Mr. Dave Hagen stated this item is similar to the one just discussed and was available to answer questions. Chairperson Daninger asked if the antennas on the lower unit be painted to match the water tower. Mr. Hagen stated they would be. Chairperson Daninger asked why they were going to use split antennas. Mr. Hagen stated they did want more height with the microwave dish antenna above the tower. They needed more height with the point to point network. He stated they needed to be lower with the coverage antennas to reach the homes and businesses that will actually use the service. Commissioner Falk asked if this antenna will talk to the one in the park. Mr. Hagen was not sure but he thought it would. Motion by Walton, seconded by Kirchoff, to close the public hearing.

MN. US TO: Planning and Zoning Commissi ers FROM: Courtney Bednarz, City Plann SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit 10 -02 to consider telecommunications tower for Clear Wireless, LLC in Andover Lions Park located at 13960 Palm Street NW. DATE: February 9, 2010 INTRODUCTION Clear Wireless, LLC is seeking to locate a 120 foot tall tower and wireless internet antenna array within Andover Lions Park. A conditional use permit is required to locate antenna above 35 feet in height. DISCUSSION The attached photosimulation illustrates what the antenna will look like from ground level. The attached plan set shows the proposed location of the tower within the park and provides additional details about the proposed tower, antenna installation and ground mounted equipment. The antenna equipment will be located inside what is commonly referred to as a stealth monopole. As a result the entire tower will be 32 inches in diameter and the antennas will not be visible. Review Criteria 12 -14 -6 B. provides the following general criteria for granting conditional use permits: 1. In granting a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and: a. The effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, morals and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. b. Existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent streets and land. c. The effect on values of property and scenic views in the surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan. City Code 9 -12 provides the specific requirements for antennas and towers. The proposal meets the height, location, design, setback and collocation requirements of City Code 9 -12. It should be noted that the tower will be 130 feet from the nearest residential property. However, the tower will be less than 130 feet from the property line adjacent to the railroad line to the west. The applicant has stated that they will provide a letter from a licensed structural engineer to certify that, in the unlikely event of a tower failure, the tower would fall to the ground before reaching the railroad tracks. This item has been added as a condition of approval to the attached resolution. Location This park was selected as one of five proposed antenna locations in the city to provide wireless internet coverage to the more densely populated areas of the city. The location within the park is driven by the constraints of the site, including wetlands, limited width along the railroad and existing ball field and trail improvements. Ground Mounted Equipment As with all antenna installations, some ground mounted equipment will be necessary. For this installation a small cabinet will be located near the base of the tower. The cabinet will be approximately 38 inches wide by 25 inches deep and 54 inches tall. A photograph of a similar cabinet is attached. The cabinet will be connected to the tower with an above ground conduit as shown on the attached plan set. The applicant has indicated this connection can be buried as was proposed with the tower in Hidden Creek North Park. This item has been added to the attached resolution as a condition of approval. A six foot tall chain link fence will enclose the tower and cabinet within a twenty foot by ten foot area. The applicant has agreed to adjust the gate to prevent it from swinging over the trail when opened. Staff is recommending that slats be provided in the fence to provide screening of the ground mounted equipment. This item has been added to the attached resolution as a condition of approval. The proposed lease space is thirty feet by thirty feet to allow additional ground mounted equipment if additional antennas are collocated on the tower in the future. It is anticipated that the fenced area would need to be expanded, potentially to the limits of the leased area in the future, if this occurs. Proposed Screening In addition to the slats recommended by staff, the applicant is proposing to plant three trees immediately south of the fenced area and to transplant three additional trees as shown on the attached site plan. The applicant has not determined the species of tree that will be planted. Staff recommends that the trees closest to the fenced area be evergreen trees. This item has been added to the attached resolution as a condition of approval. Radio Frequency Emissions and Interference with Other Signals The applicant will be present to address these items. Generally, studies conducted and monitored by the United States Federal Communications Commission have found that these types of installations do not pose a threat to humans. Additionally, the applicant is required to be licensed to use a specific frequency to prevent interference with other signals. The applicant has provided a copy of this license. Staff Recommendation The proposal meets the requirements of the City Code. Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council on the conditional use permit request.

Enclosed are the following: 1: Application forms for each of the sites signed by me as agent for Clearwire; 2. A set of plans for each of the sites consisting of small and large scale site plans and north, east, south and west elevation plans; 3. Photographs of the setting for each of these locations with towers, antennas and ground equipment enclosed in chain link fence simulated on them; 4. A letter from Clearwire Radio Frequency Engineer Gyan Pandey addressing interference with public safety telecommunications, service coverage in the City of Andover and FCC emission regulation compliance. Two attached maps model service coverage without and with the five proposed Andover sites activated; 5. A letter from Clearwire Project Manager John Thielen indicating that Clearwire will allow collocation on the proposed towers; and 6. A map showing the search radii within which the two proposed sites are located (MN- MSP305- Andover Lions Park and MN- MSP425 Shadowbrook East Park). Clearwire is a high speed broadband internet provider based in Kirkland, Washington who has launched service in numerous major and minor metropolitan areas in the country. The service is intended to serve the in- building residential and small commercial market and as a result a dense pattern of sites spaced somewhat more than one mile apart is required. Clearwire's standard antenna configuration consists of three panel antennas about four feet long by one foot wide and three microwave dish antennas 26" in diameter. The area surrounding the antenna site is, for coverage purposes, divided into three equal sectors and panel antenna are oriented at the middle of these sectors. A small radio and a dish antenna which serves to "network" or tie the sites together are located next to the panel antennas. At the request of the City Clearwire is using a stealth antenna design where the antennas are housed within the circumference of the tower structure. A base station (43 "H x 47 "W x 30 "D) is located next to the base of the towers, all within a six foot high chain link fence. Page 2- November 18, 2009 Letter to Andover City Council and Planning Commission Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12- 6:A.3. requires that the City Council must find that an the antenna tower cannot be accommodated on an existing approved tower or building. In these cases there are no exiting or approved towers or buildings within the search radii to accommodate the planned antennas at a height necessary to function reasonable. Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12 -6:B. requires that towers be designed to allow for future arrangement of antennas at varying heights. The ordinance requires and plans indicate that each of these towers will accommodate three users in addition to the Clearwire antennas. Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12 -8:B. requires that towers be set back from all property lines a distance equal to the height of the tower plus an additional ten feet, Curless a certification is provided that collapse of the tower will occur within a lesser distance under all foreseeable circumstances. The two towers are setback at least their height plus ten feet from all abutting property lines except for the property line to the west of the proposed tower at Lions Park. In that case the tower is 120' tall but is setback only 97' from the property line to the west. The required certification will be provided with the tower design when the building permit is applied for. Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12 -9:C. La., b., and c. require a description of the tower height, and design including cross sections and elevations, a description of the tower's capacity, including the number and type of antennas that can be accommodated and documentation of the mounting heights for collocated antennas and separations distances between antennas. The plan sets include cross sections and elevations, as well as the type of antennas that can be accommodated and docuumentation of mounting heights and separations between collocated antennas. Engineer - stamped plans will be submitted to the City of Andover with the building permit application as required by Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12 -9:C. Ld. Our understanding is that the Planning Commission will consider these conditional use permit requests at their meeting on December 8, 2009, if the City Council decides to move ahead with these two antenna sites at its meeting on November 24. Two checks in the amount of $530 will be provided by November 24 to pay for the application fee, the public notification sign and recording the conditional use permit. Please contact me at 763- 245 -4852 orDAT-lage.n@Live.com if additional infonnation is required. Thank you. Sincerely, A "Cil I Y David Hagen, Buell Consulting, Inc.

DATE: February 9, 2010 INTRODUCTION Clear Wireless, LLC is seeking to locate a 118 foot tall tower and wireless internet antenna array within Shadowbrook East Park. A conditional use permit is required to locate antenna above 35 feet in height. DISCUSSION The attached photosimulation illustrates what the antenna will look like from ground level. The attached plan set shows the proposed location of the tower within the park and provides additional details about the proposed tower, antenna installation and ground mounted equipment. The antenna equipment will be located inside what is commonly referred to as a stealth monopole. As a result the entire tower will be 32 inches in diameter and the antennas will not be visible. Review Criteria 12 -14 -6 B. provides the following general criteria for granting conditional use permits: In granting a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and: a. The effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, morals and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. b. Existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent streets and land. c. The effect on values of property and scenic views in the surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan. City Code 9 -12 provides the specific requirements for antennas and towers. The proposal meets the height, location, design, setback and collocation requirements of City Code 9 -12. 1/1 Location This park was selected as one of five proposed antenna locations in the city to provide wireless internet coverage to the more densely populated areas of the city. The location within the park is driven by the constraints of the site, including the existing ball field, play equipment, wetlands and parking area improvements. Ground Mounted Equipment As with all antenna installations, some ground mounted equipment will be necessary. For this installation a small cabinet will be located near the base of the tower. The cabinet will be approximately 38 inches wide by 25 inches deep and 54 inches tall. A photograph of a similar cabinet is attached. The cabinet is proposed to be connected to the tower with an above ground conduit as shown on the attached plan set. The applicant indicated the connection can be buried as was proposed with the tower in Hidden Creek North Park. This has been added as a condition of approval. A six foot tall chain link fence will enclose the tower and cabinet within a twenty foot by ten foot area. Staff is recommending that slats be provided in the fence to provide screening of the ground mounted equipment. The slats are noted on the attached plan set. The proposed lease space is thirty feet by thirty feet to allow additional ground mounted . equipment if additional antennas are collocated on the tower in the future. It is anticipated that the fenced area would need to be expanded, potentially to the limits of the leased area in the future, if this occurs. Screening There are existing trees between the proposed location and the play area to the south as well as trees in the wetland to the east. The applicant has agreed to provide additional screening if desired by the city. The Commission may want to consider additional evergreen trees to screen the ground mounted equipment from the ball field and other views. Radio Frequency Emissions and Interference with Other Signals The applicant will be present to address these items. Generally, studies conducted and monitored by the United States Federal Communications Commission have found that these types of installations do not pose a threat to humans. Additionally, the applicant is required to be licensed to use a specific frequency to prevent interference with other signals. The applicant has provided a copy of this license. Staff Recommendation The proposal meets the requirements of the City Code. Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council on the conditional use permit request.

Enclosed are the following: 1. Application forms for each of the sites signed by me as agent for Clearwire; 2. A set of plans for each of the sites consisting of small and large scale site plans and north, east, south and west elevation plans; 3. Photographs of the setting for each of these locations with towers, antennas and ground equipment enclosed in chain link fence simulated on them; 4. A letter from Clearwire Radio Frequency Engineer Gyan Pandey addressing interference with public safety telecommunications, service coverage in the City of Andover and FCC emission regulation compliance. Two attached maps model service coverage without and with the five proposed Andover sites activated; 5. A letter from Clearwire Project Manager John Thielen indicating that Clearwire will allow collocation on the proposed towers; and 6. A map showing the search radii within which the two proposed sites are located (MN- MSP305- Andover Lions Park and MN- MSP425 Shadowbrook East Park). Clearwire is a high speed broadband internet provider based in Kirkland, Washington who has launched service in numerous major and minor metropolitan areas in the country. The service is intended to serve the in- building residential and small commercial market and as a result a dense pattern of sites spaced somewhat more than one mile apart is required. Clearwire's standard antenna configuration consists of three panel antennas about four feet long by one foot wide and three microwave dish antennas 26" in diameter. The area surrounding the antenna site is, for coverage purposes, divided into three equal sectors and panel antenna are oriented at the middle of these sectors. A small radio and a dish antenna which serves to "network" or tie the sites together are located next to the panel antennas. At the request of the City Clearwire is using a stealth antenna design where the antennas are housed within the circumference of the tower structure. A base station (43 "II x 47 "W x 30 "D) is located next to the base of the towers, all within a six foot high chain link fence. Site Acquisition Permitting Est, 1991 Page 2- November 18, 2009 Letter to Andover City Council and Planning Commission Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12- 6:A.3. requires that the City Council must find that an the antenna tower cannot be accommodated on an existing approved tower or building. In these cases there are no exiting or approved towers or buildings within the search radii to accommodate the planned antennas at a height necessary to function reasonable. Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12 -6:B. requires that towers be designed to allow for future arrangement of antennas at varying heights. The ordinance requires and plans indicate that each of these towers will accommodate three users in addition to the Clearwire antennas. Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12 -8:13. requires that towers be set back from all property lines a distance equal to the height of the tower plus an additional ten feet, unless a certification is provided that collapse of the tower will occur within a lesser distance under all foreseeable circumstances. The two towers are setback at least their height plus ten feet from all abutting property lines except for the property line to the west of the proposed tower at Lions Park. In that case the tower is 120' tall but is setback only 97' from the property line to the west. The required certification will be provided with the tower design when the building pennit is applied for. Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12 -9:C. La., b., and c. require a description of the tower height, and design including cross sections and elevations, a description of the tower's capacity, including the number and type of antennas that can be accommodated and documentation of the mounting heights for collocated antennas and separations distances between antennas. The plan sets include cross sections and elevations, as well as the type of antennas that can be accommodated and documentation of mounting heights and separations between collocated antennas. Engineer - stamped plans will be submitted to the City of Andover with the building permit application as required by Andover City Code Title 9, Chapter 12, Section 9- 12- 9:C.l.d. our understanding is that the Planning Commission will consider these conditional use permit requests at their meeting on December 8, 2009, if the City Council decides to move ahead with these two antenna sites at its meeting on November 24. Two checks in the amount of $530 will be provided by November 24 to pay for the application fee, the public notification sign and recording the conditional use permit.

MN.US TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners FROM: Angie Perera, Associate Planner NR SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: City Code Amendment to consider changes to City Code for Exterior Storage of Commercial vehicles and other storage items. DATE: February 9, 2010 INTRODUCTION The City Council directed staff to prepare two draft amendments to the City Code pertaining to vehicles and exterior storage. The direction given was to allow up to one commercial vehicle such as a truck, suburban, or a van other than a "cube van" or "moving truck" to be parked on a residential driveway. They also directed that staff prepare an amendment to allow an increased length of up to forty (40) feet for adequately screened recreational vehicles such as motor homes, campers, travel trailers that are located in the rear yards of rural lots which are two and a half (2.5) acres plus in size. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 12ti', 2010 and continued the public hearing to tonight's meeting in order to review and consider a draft amendment as discussed. The minutes from previous meetings are attached with this report for your reference. DISCUSSION The focus tonight will be to review the draft amendment as proposed and to provide feedback. Staff has attached additional information with this report that includes examples of parking codes from other communities and information pertaining to weight of vehicles that may be of useful reference for the purpose of further discussion pertaining to this topic. Notes in the margins reference where certain language has been moved as described. The proposed changes are summarized and outlined numerically below corresponding with the draft amendment that is attached. Summarized Draft amendments as proposed. (Page 1 -2) Section 12 -12 -2, Definitions It is important to mention that there were restrictions within a few definitions that have now been removed and placed appropriately under the restrictions within sections where the definition is referenced (ie. "commercial vehicle ", "private garage "). 1) Commercial Vehicle - The language regarding advertisement was removed from the definition (as permitted and prohibited in Pages 4, 5, and 6). 2) Garage, Private - The weight restriction has been removed from this definition since weight is now restricted under the permitted and prohibited parking areas (Pages 4,5, and 6). 3) Recreational Equipment - Recreational equipment is more often considered as exterior storage rather than perceived as a vehicle therefore unoccupied boats has been removed and included in the definition of recreational vehicle instead. - The unoccupied trailer up to twenty (20) feet in length was also removed and a definition of trailer has been added (Page 2). 4) Recreational Vehicle - This definition has been reworded primarily to include additional vehicles such as boats, snowmobiles, converted buses licensed as an RV, all- terrain vehicles, and other similar portable structures as defined. - The definition also now includes language specifying that recreational vehicles parked on or inside a trailer should be considered as one recreational vehicle. It is important to add this statement since this has been the policy on how such things have been enforced historically. 5) Trailer - This definition has been added since one currently does not exist. (Page 2 -3) Section 12 -13 -3, Exterior Storage, A. Residential Districts, 6) Subpart 2 (Building or landscaping materials) - landscaping materials has been included here since both building materials and landscaping materials are often stored on residential properties for certain projects and are typically only kept on the property temporarily. Additional language has also been included regarding a timeline for these materials to be allowed to remain on the property. This has been an un- written rule that allows some flexibility to keep these things on the property while completing a project. 7) Subpart 4 (Parking of certain vehicles trailers and recreational vehicles) - It would be more appropriate to consider these items as vehicles versus exterior storage items. This section has been reworded and moved to the permitted use of residential parking section of the City Code (as proposed on Page 5). - Special mobile equipment has been added in replace of the former subpart 4. There is already a definition for special mobile equipment and should be utilized in this section to make note of when this type of equipment is permitted and prohibited. o (For reference purposes): Special mobile equipment is currently defined as "any vehicle not designed or used primarily for the transportation of persons or property and only incidentally operated or moved over a highway, including, but not limited to: ditch digging apparatus, moving dollies and other machinery such as asphalt spreaders, bituminous mixers, bucket loaders, non -farm tractors other than truck tractors, ditchers, leveling graders, finishing machines, motor graders, road rollers, scarifiers, earth moving carryalls, scrapers, power shovels, drag lines, self - propelled cranes and earth moving equipment. The term does not include house trailers, dump trucks, truck mounted transit mixers, truck mounted feed grinders or other motor vehicles designed for the transportation of persons or property to which machinery has been attached". (Page 3 -6) Section 12 -13 -8, Off Street Parking Requirements 8) A. Purpose. - Minor changes have been added to the purpose statement. 9) Section 12-13-8. C 3 Permitted Use of Parking Area - The word "Residential" has been added since that is the current intent of this section. 10) Subpart a Driveways & Private Garages: - This section has been deleted, reworded and added back in to the City Code (as proposed an Pages 4 and 5). Garages have been combined in with this subpart as proposed. It was important to note a restriction for the weight limit and height here. The weight limit of 12,000 pounds gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the same weight limit for what is currently allowed in a private garage. The weight limit of 12, 000 pounds is also listed in other sections currently. Most other communities that staff researched allow a maximum GVW of up to 12,000 pounds and have provided feedback that this weight tends to deter the more heavy duty vehicles such as tow trucks, cement trucks, dump trucks and etc. Staff has found that most vans have a GVW of approximately 9,000 pounds. While this could be a weight that is considered, it may be on the borderline of allowing and not allowing certain vans. The height of no more than nine (9) feet was based off of other communities parking codes, the height of a standard garage door on a residential building, and the clearance of a standard van and truck as measured from the ground. The height of the carrying area not exceeding the height of the operating area was added to prohibit the "cube vans" that typically have the large box on the rear of the vehicle that exceeds the height of the operating area. The smaller cube vans would otherwise meet the nine (9) feet height restriction. 11) Subpart b Private Garages: - This is text is already in the City Code and is not being changed. 12) Subpart c. Rear Yards: - This section has been added and essentially carried over from the Exterior Storage section (that was removed from Page 2). - The provision for an increased length of up to forty (40) feet has been added for rural lots. 13) Subpart d (commercial vehicle and special mobile equipment exceptions): - There will be situations that arise where a commercial vehicle and/or special mobile equipment may be allowed in excess of the weight and height restrictions as previously noted. 14) Section 12 -13 -8 C 4 Prohinited Use of Parking Area - The only change proposed in this section is the addition of semi - trailers being prohibited. Semi - trailers are currently prohibited under the permitted use of parking in subpart 3.c. Other amendments needed: The following sections of the City Code will also need to be consistent with any proposed amendments that are made as listed above and will rely upon the weight limit factor that is determined. No changes have been proposed at this time but may be necessary depending on discussion at tonight's meeting. (Page 8) Title 12: Zoning Regulations, Chapter 9: Home Occupations 15) Section 12-9-2 Permitted Home Occupations; Location Restrictions, F. - This section pertains to vehicles associated with home occupations and restricts the weight limit to a gross vehicle weight of no more than 12,000 pounds. (Page 9) Title 6: Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 2: Parking Regulations; Street Obstructions 16) Section 6 -2 -1 B Vehicle Length and Weight Restrictions - This section prohibits a vehicle in excess of twenty four (24) feet in length or in excess of one ton to be parked on the street. It is difficult to determine what "adequate screening" would be if it were required for recreational vehicles exceeding twenty (20) feet in length on rural lots. The requirement of screening for recreational vehicles would also seem to be irrelevant given the size of a rural lot is a minimum of two and a half (2.5) acres and the setbacks already in place from neighboring residential dwellings. Staff would like the Planning and Zoning Commission's feedback regarding the screening requirement as proposed in the draft amendment. Staff recommends that the Commission open the continued public hearing to obtain testimony from residents, discuss the topic and provide direction. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning and Zoning Commission is requested to hold the public hearing and provide staff with feedback on the draft amendment of the City Code as proposed.

PUBLIC HEARING: CITY CODE AMENDMENT TO CONSIDER CHANGES TO CITY CODE FOR EXTERIOR STORAGE OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND -y OTHER STORAGE ITEMS. Ms. Perera noted currently it is in violation of the City Code to park a commercial vehicle in the driveway or to keep a commercial vehicle in excess of 12,000 pounds in the garage of a property. It is also a violation to store a vehicle longer than twenty feet (20') in length in the rear yard of the property. Recently a few residents have questioned the intent and language of the City Code in regards to these situations. The City Council has since discussed both situations and has directed staff to prepare draft amendments for each, which brings this discussion to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Perera reviewed the staff report with the Commission. Motion by Falk, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. �12 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —January 12, 2010 Page 5 Mr. Carroll Abbott, 2917 142nd Avenue, stated his concern was with the newspaper article in the StarTribune regarding this. He explained some of his concerns with the site lines and property values in the community. He stated in regards to the parking of commercial vehicles, in this economy what are people going to do if they cannot park their work vehicle in their driveway or ran their business from their homes. He explained that people can park their vehicles in storage lots but his experiences with storing commercial and recreational vehicles in storage lots is that vehicles get broken into. He would not recommend a storage lot for any of these vehicles. He wondered what kind of security the storage lot would have. Chairperson Daninger reviewed what Mr. Abbott was trying to get at and indicated Mr. Abbott was against not allowing commercial vehicles to park in driveways. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the intent of this item. Mr. Abbott stated other cities allow commercial vehicles to be parked in their driveways. Motion by Walton, seconded by Kirchoff, to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Commissioner Kirchoff asked where the proposed change of forty feet came about for RV's. Ms. Perera explained that a lot of RV's are longer than twenty feet and typically exceed 32 plus feet. Chairperson Daninger asked for a definition of screening. Mr. Bednarz did not think from the Council discussion this was defined and that there is screening described in the ordinances currently, which can be used. The Commission did not have a problem with commercial vehicles being parked on a driveway. Commissioner Holthus thought it needed to have current plates and be operational. Mr. Bednarz stated the Commission needed to find out at what point a commercial vehicle becomes unacceptable. The Commission needs to review this also. Staff reviewed with the Commission the items that they needed to review and decide what size and type of commercial /recreational vehicle would be acceptable and allowed in the City. Commissioner Cleveland asked if forty feet would cover the types of vehicles people would normally have. Mr. Bednarz thought it would. Chair Daninger indicated the picture of the van was accepted by the Commission as what they would like to allow. They did not have a problem with signage on the side of vehicles. _ 1 1 _ Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —January 12, 2010 Page 6 Commissioner Walton stated he wanted to make sure that two thousand pound, (one ton) vehicles were not the cap they wanted. Chairperson Daninger did not think they agreed on weight and would go back to staff for further research regarding weight. Chairperson Daninger reviewed item two with the Commission. He asked if the Commission agreed with the change to forty feet. The Commission agreed. Chairperson Daninger asked what types should be allowed. Ms. Perera gave examples to the Commission regarding this. The Commission felt the maximum length should be kept at forty feet. The Commission decided to continue to review this item to the next meeting. Motion by Kirchoff, seconded by Kirchoff to reopen the public hearing. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Casey) vote. Motion by Walton, seconded by Falk, to continue the Public Hearing to the next Planning Commission meeting.

Thank you. Email #1 sent to all council members 1/22/10: "Hello, After reading this article: http://abcnewspapers.com/index.ph ?o tion =com content &task = view &id = 10686 &ltemid =26 I wanted to express my support of the current parked vehicle code; however, I wish there were more active enforcement of the code. I have several neighbors who violate this code, but I hesitate to report them because I would like to maintain a positive relationship with them. I understand the need for business owners to have work vehicles on site from time to time, but I do not think it is respectful to the neighbors to have them there long term. Also, if I were selling my property, these parked vehicles could turn off a potential buyer. Thank you." I responded, including the following request for more specific comments: "Thank you for your comments. Do you object to the service van in the drive? That's the only business vehicle we would be allowing that is prohibited now. This has not been enforced until a recent complaint occurred that was argued by the resident and brought forward for review. With the RVs, we asked the planning commission to discuss allowing them in back yards on the 2.5 acre lots and larger only if they are totally screened from the neighbor's view...." Email #2 of 1/27/10 listing specific concerns about commercial vehicles & RVs: "I do object to service vans because they are getting larger and some people will have more than one parked at a time. In my neighborhood, there is a home that is very well maintained, but their driveway is always full of vehicles: a crew -cab pickup with large glass plates stored on top and on the side, a sprinter van (large white panel van), and several personal vehicles. It looks like a business when you drive by. Another home has a Comcast van with equipment on top and large orange cones surrounding it placed on the drive. Again, it looks like a business. Others have large RVs parked in the backyard with no visual protection. Or, large service trailers parked in the grass next to the garage with no visual protection. I grew up here in Anoka County, but I also lived in Kansas City for five years, and I appreciated the active enforcement of these violations there. It just makes an otherwise nicely groomed neighborhood have a low - class feeling. I understand we have a lot of blue collar workers, and I appreciate that (my family is mostly blue collar as well). I just think we need to kick it up a notch in order to maintain the quality of life and to be able to compete with real estate in other areas of the Twin Cities." Thank you.
