SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit 09-11 to consider
telecommunications tower for Clear Wireless, LLC in Hidden Creek North Park
located at 2620 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW.
DATE: January 12, 2010
INTRODUCTION
Clear Wireless, LLC is seeking to locate a 75 foot tall tower and wireless internet antenna array
within Hidden Creek North Park. A conditional use permit is required to locate antenna above
35 feet in height.
DISCUSSION
The attached photo simulation illustrates what the antenna will look like from ground level. The
attached site plan shows the proposed location of the tower within the park. Additional
attachments show a top view and all four side views of the tower, including the proposed 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.
_._-------- u, Aswitliall antennaInsfallations,some groUn.crriiounfed'eqmpmeiilWilIbe necessary. Fadm!> ..,. u ""-----
installation a small cabinet will be located near the base ofthe 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. A six foot tall chain link fence will enclose the tower and cabinet within a
ten foot by ten foot area. In the event the proposal is approved, staff is recommending that slats
be provided in the fence to provide additional screening.
Review Criteria
12-14-6 B. provides the following general criteria for granting conditionaI 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 ofthe 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 and setback requirements of City Code 9-12.
The applicant is requesting a variance to the collocation requirements to allow the new tower to
be solely utilized by Clear Wireless LLC. Typically new towers are required to provide space for
additional future users.
As with all variances, hardship must be demonstrated to vary from the City Code. The standards
used to evaluate hardship are as follows:
1. There are circumstances unique to the property that were not created by the landowner.
Unique conditions may include the physical characteristics, including topography or
water conditions that may exist on the property.
2. The property, if the variance is granted, will not be out of character with other properties
in the same neighborhood.
3. The applicant has exhausted all reasonable possibilities for using his/her property
4. Economic considerations may not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use of the
property exists with ~pplication of the minimum standards of this chapter.
The applicant has indicated that by allowing Clear Wireless, LLC to be the sole user of the tower
that the tower height can be held down to 75 feet in height. Typically 12 feet of separation is the
minimum required between different types of antennas. This means that the tower height would
need to be increased by that amount for each additional collocation opportunity. Additionally,
equipment can only be shrouded at the top of the tower due to structural requirements. This
means that any antennas collocated below the top of the tower would require an antenna array to
hang off the side of the tower as many older installations have done in the past. Staff is in favor
.. n of tlIe yari311<::e to.!illow th~ reduceg heighJanci tQ PLeyent tlJ,epotentilll for addi1iQnala.nteJ:IDas
and ground mounted equipment from being located in the park.
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. Staff asked the applicant to
evaluate the recently constructed T-mobile tower approximately one quarter mile to the north
along Crosstown Drive. The applicant indicated that this location was too far north to provide
the coverage area that is needed. The applicant will be present at the meeting to discuss the
coverage area maps used to make this determination.
The applicant has indicated that the location of the tower within the park can be adjusted based
on the preferences of the city. The current location allows easy access from the entrance to the
park.
Staff is not in favor of the proposed location between the basketball court and play structure. If a
tower is to be located in this park staff would recommend a more interior location such as near
the right field foul pole or outside the fence near straight away centerfield.
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
Staff recommends the location of the tower be revised as indicated above or a different site be
found altogether. Ifa tower is to be located in Hidden Creek North Park, staff is in favor ofa
variance to the collocation requirements as indicated above.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Plamring Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council on the
conditional use permit request. This recommendation should include a preference for approval
or denial of the conditional use permit, approval or denial ofthe proposed variance to collocation
requirements and a preference for the location of the equipment within the park. The attached
resolution will be modified with the findings of the Planning Commission.

Clearwire Communications, (NASDAQ: CLWR), offers a robust suite of advanced
high-speed Internet services to consumers and businesses. As part of a multi-year
network build-out plan, Clearwire's 4G service, called CLEAR'M, will be available in
major metropolitan areas across the U.S, and bring together an unprecedented
combination of speed and mobility. Clearwire's open all-IP network, combined
with significant spectrum holdings, provides unmatched network capacity to
deliver next generation broadband access. Strategic investors include Intel
Capital, Comcast, Sprint, Google, Time Warner Cable, and Bright House Networks.
Clearwire is currently working on network expansion in Minnesota with over 500
new sites proposed for the Twin Cities service market.
Clearwire combines two of the most exciting technological advances of our
generation - mobile communications and the Internet - in order to free their
customers to take their rich home or office broadband experience with them
anywhere around town or on the go. The system consists of a wireless high-speed
modem, about the size of a small book. Customers simply plug the modem into a
power outlet anywhere in their home or office and connect the modem to their
PC to access the internet. Clearwire operates form a point-to-point, line of site
relay system of antennas to provide the Clearwire customer experience is similar
to that provided by Wi-Fi, but without the short range limitations of a traditional
hotspot. Clearwire uses a 4G technology that differs from Wi-Fi called WiMAX,
which provides service areas measured in miles not feet. . nnn.......m.m..n ... un............

------ _._._-_._~ -------------.-.-.-.---------------
Clearwire's typical installation requires an average rad center height of
between75'-125' and the equipment footprint is typically 1 single BTS cabinet
that fits inside a 7' x 7' area. This "low impact" footprint easily allows for many
collocation sites. Over 75% of there sites will be collocations. When there is not a
structure in the immediate area to collocate on, Clearwire will agree construct a
new monopole, favoring light pole replacements using existing light pole
locations, Ball fields, City Parks, etc.
Clearwire is approved and licensed by the FCC. Headquartered in Kirkland, Wash.,
additional information about Clearwire is available at www.c1earwire.com.

Down below is the first of a few e-mails that we have received regarding the proposed pole at Hidden Creek North
Park since last Friday. I was not able to put a copy in your packets as the packets were sent out to the
Commission on Thursday, January 14th. I will have a copy of the e-mail for Chairman Butler in case he needs to
refer to the e-mail. Otherwise please print this off and bring this to the meeting on Thursday night. Thanks.

Hi Todd I believe this would be a huge mistake to put tower at the park this is where kids are!!
Find a place to put this tower where kids are not present! This also is a place where familys go!! Its
a direct representation of our community. Do we want to show other communitys that attend
sporting events at our locations that having this tower is ok. Its a beautiful park and to put this
tower there does not make any sense. Its like putting a garbage dump in the middle of a habitat
area!!!

Dear Mr. Haas-
My name is Carolyn Powell and I live 1 block away from Hidden Creek North Park at 13677
Xavis St. N.W.
I was informed that you want to put a cell tower in this park. Why? This is a place for our kids
and one of the reasons we purchased our house in this area! Kids already have enough
problems finding places to play and now you want to take away a park where these kids play
constantly!!!! This is appalling!!!! Put this cell tower some place else and let the kids have their
park! When I was told of this I couldn't believe that you would even consider this. Once again
big business gets it's way? Please as a parent of a 13 year old boy who uses this park almost
daily for hockey, football, baseball, soccer i'm asking you to leave this park alone and find
another place for it.
Thank you.

Todd Haas,
We live at 2591 136th Ave NW and our backyard which butts up to the park where children play their
sports, we helped make our neighborhood look and feel better to live in by spending $4 million or so of
our tax dollars to upgrade this park and NOW you want to put a "TOWER" in our backyards? Have you
lost you mind? What are you thinking? not only do we want this crazed idea stopped in its tracks, it is in
the park in the field area where kids are playing, in the sights of us and our neighbors as HELLO we like
to look out our windows now but NOT to see a steel structure that would fall in a storm, and take away
from the beauty of the park, as well as block our view. We live here YOU dont so stop and think how you
would feel having a heap of metal looking in your windows, flashing lights sO planes done hit it in your
windows at night, who ever is trying to make money off this is a fool! As the neighborhood that
surrounds this park and our back yards that is directly affected by some idiotic idea will not be the same.
Hmmm the churches down the way have plenty of land that would not be adversely affected, the swamp
at co 18 and co 116 has plenty of unused property that would not only help to assist in what ever signal
you think will help out here, but not affect the general public and THEIR property as much as it will in a
park... where game after game of all sports is being played and also I DO NT WANT TO LOOK OUT MY
WINDOWS AND SEE THIS CRAP! Lets think about this, and votes.. if this happens DO NOT EXPECT to
be voted back into office as this is completely and uneducated ecision, idiotic to put it where children
are finally playing, and an EYE sore. Can we complain then and have whomever cited for an EYE SORE
to us the people who have to look at it everyday? As Andover is quick to pass ordinances to keep our
community clean.... Now Really how crazy is this? I think our legislature needs to be notified, and when it
falls and kills someone in their own back yard due to flying debris? Speaking of, your park service cant
even keep the garbage from the park from flying into our backyards how can you think you could keep
this a safe idea?
Dumb not impressed, honestly do we need to get people in office with an engineering degree and
experience as well as common sense?

Hello,
We would like to let you know that we are against the intallation of the telecommunications tower at the
Hidden Creek North Park. There must be another location away from parks and homes that this could be
placed. There seems to be areas on Bunker closer to Hanson that this could go to. We don't need this
near our park or homes.

Subject: Telecommunications tower at Hidden Creek Park
Mr. Haas,
We are unable to be at the meeting tomorrow regarding the tower that Clear Wireless wants to put up at the park at
Hidden Creek.
We want you to know that we are totally against them putting this tower up there. A park is not place for this tower.
This is an area were baseball games are played, soccer games are played, and a playground where kids run and play. It is
a residential area. I certainly do not want to look out my window and see some sore looking tower up. This company is
not thinking about the safety of the children that are living in this area that use this park. I am sure there are other
areas where this tower can be put up.
Please let the Park Board and the council members know that we are opposed to this tower being put up at the Hidden
Creek Park North.
Thank you,
Vern and Renee Hinnenkamp
13669 Hidden Creek Drive

Mr. Haas, please find another location for the Cell Tower planned to be built at 2620 Bunker Lake Blvd.
I'm sure there are plenty of other locations that wouldn't be so offensive. Thank you for your time...

SUbject: NO to Telecommunications Tower at Hidden Creek North Park
Importance: High
Todd,
Per my telephone message, I am AGAINST erecting the Telecommunications Tower in any
part of Hidden Creek North Park in Andover, Minnesota. I would ask that Clear Wireless. send
an engineer (not a marketing person) to your Parks Planning Meeting on Thursday, January
21st. The following is a list of questions that the participants of your meeting will be asking you
and Clear Wireless, LLC:
e How long has your company been in business and in what cities are your towers
currently located?
e How many oth~r locations in our immediate area have you tried to get permits for prior to
deciding on this park?
e Is this tower of your own design (Le. do you hold the patent on it)? If yes, what is that
patent number?
. Do you have documentation as to the microwave emission rate coming out of this tower
design? Who certified these readings?
. Can this tower be located elsewhere and still be effective? FYI - The City of Andover just
erected a new Civil Service Siren adjacent to the Fire Station on Crosstown. Can't your
tower be located there instead?
. Can the other towers in the area be raised so this tower wouldn't be necessary at all?
. Who assumes liability if the tower falls in the park and injures or kills someone?

. Who assumes liability if someone is injured due to electrical shock from the tower?
. Who assumes liability when the baseball players use the tower for target practice and it
gets damaged?
. Who will dismantle the tower when your company goes bankrupt in the middle of the
night?
e What is the City of Andover or the Parks Department getting in return for putting the
tower in the park?
e Why were the City of Andover Planning Meeting Notices only sent to the people living
directly on the park?
e Has the City of Andover or the Parks Department sent notices to the Little Baseball or
Girls Intramural Soccer Leagues disclosing these plans? If not, then why?
e Why would anyone lend you money to expand your business when you don't even have
preliminary approvals for your prospective tower locations?
Thank you!

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
CITY OF ANDOVER
COUNTY OF ANOKA
STATE OF MINNESOTA
Thursday; January 21st
7:00 PM
Andover City Hall
1685 Crosstown Boulevard West
Andover, MN 55304
The City of Andover Parks Board will have a meeting as noted above to discuss the
Conditional Use Permit (09-11) to erect a 75 foot telecommunications tower for Clear
Wireless, LLC behind the outfield fence of the baseball diamond in Hidden Creek North
Park at 2620 Bunker Lake Boulevard in Andover (see attached park map).
The City Council of Andover had a Planning Meeting on Tuesday, January 12th in which the
council members voted 5 FOR and 1 AGAINST the permit, but TABLED the issue until the
Parks Board meets on Thursday, January 21st at 7:00 PM at the City of Andover located at
1685 Crosstown Blvd. to further discuss this matter. This meeting is open to the public for
comments and questions. I urge anyone who uses the park for Little League baseball,
soccer, area day cares, ice skaters and park play equipment users, to attend this meeting
(preferably with ALL their children) to voice opposition to this ill-planned request.
This tower will emit microwaves in low frequencies, and I was told that if the tower fell, it was
supposed to collapse in upon itself. We have a major issue in the area with straight line
winds arising out of the low lying area that the park sits on, not to mention the fact that the
park is basically a large sand box.
Clear Wireless sent a representative to the January 1 ih meeting to discuss their installation
plans, however they sent a marketing person (not an engineer) so none of the technical
questions could be answered logically as to the safety concerns voiced. We need
documented proof about the environmental readings related to the tower's emissions and
who will assume liability if the tower falls and injures or kills someone.
The notice for the January 12'h meeting was only sent to the people living directly on the
park's perimeter, so please pass along this information to anyone else you feel would have
their children's health and safety jeopardized by this installation. Let's make them find
another spot for this microwave emitter. Thank you for all you can do to keep our park safe!
Unable to attend the January 21st
meeting? Call Todd Haas (763)
767-5131 or Email him at
THaas@ci.andover.mn.us.

Dear Mr. Haas:
I am writing to suggest that you find a alternate location for the 75 foot telecommunications tower which
is currently proposed to be erected at Hidden Creek North Park.
We live just across the street, kiddy corner to the path down to the park, at 13594 Hidden Creek Dr., and
the tower will undoubtedly be in plain view out our front window. Not only is it an eye sore, but also the
real and/or perceived health risks associated with such structures may serve to devalue mYr and my
neighbors, property.
I urge you to please find a better location for the tower. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: Sunshine Park Scoreboards
Dear Todd;
This is to formally notify the City of Andover that the AAA Board of Directors, at our December
2009 meeting, approved the purchase of 6 new scoreboards for Sunshine Park ballfields. Our
chosen vendor is AIM Electronics in Bloomington, MN.
The cost of the scoreboards, concrete work and electrical required to install will be paid for
with AAA funds. I understand we will go through the normal permit and inspection process
required of the City. Any contractors working on our behalf will be licensed and insured.
We hope to receive, and will acceptfrom the City, any assistance with manpower and
equipment required to move the scoreboards and poles around during installation.
We understand the boards will become the property of the City of Andover, but would hope
there is a fee charged to other associations to use them, as they chose not to participate in
their purchase.
Feel free to contact me with questions.

How long has your company been in business and in what cities are your towers currently located?
October 2003. In Minnesota Clearwire is in St. Cloud and Duluth. Also in 10 other states. Clearwire
currently has over 1 million subscribers
. How many other locations in our immediate area have you tried to get permits for prior to
deciding on this park? We have not applied for any in this specific site. We reviewed the area
and selected a prior park site which was deemed to small by the City of Andover Zoning
Department.
. Is this tower of your own design (i.e. do you hold the patent on it)? If yes, what is that patent
number? No. The monopole is made by tower company and is commonly used throughout the
area. If the City would like we can supply a structural evaluation at the time of building permit
application
. Do you have documentation as to the microwave emission rate coming out of this tower
design? Who certified these readings? Clearwire has been reviewed and approved to
operate and is licensed by the Federal Government (FCC). Wireless design and applications

. Can this tower be located elsewhere and still be effective? FYI - The City of Andover just
erected a new Civil Service Siren adjacent to the Fire Station on Crosstown. Can't your tower
be located there instead? No. We have reviewed all sites in the area and this site is the only
area where we can get the coverage we need for the surrounding area. This is part of a
network of sites that all tie into one another. We always try and collocate on existing towers or

site ties into existing sites (City water towers).
. Who assumes liability if the tower falls in the park and injures or kills someone? There will be
an insurance policy in place to cover anything of this nature.
. Who assumes liability if someone is injured due to electrical shock from the tower? There will
be an insurance policy in place to cover anything of this nature.
. Who assumes liability when the baseball players use the tower for target practice and it gets
damaged? It is a metal tower and it's unlikely a baseball would damage it, but Clearwire
assumes tower maintenance responsibilities as it's Clearwire's pole.
. Who will dismantle the tower when your company goes bankrupt in the middle of the night?
Clearwire is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ. The City requires us to provide
financial backing to remove the tower in the event it is no longer used.
. What is the City of Andover or the Parks Department getting in return for putting the tower in

SUBJECT: 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.
DATE: January 12, 2010
INTRODUCTION
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.
DISCUSSION
The attached photo simulation illustrates what the antenna will look like fi'om ground level. The
attached site plan shows the location of the tower within the park and the surrounding park
improvements, tree stands and residential homes. Additional attachments show the top and all
four side views of the tower, including the proposed antenna installation.
As with all antenna installations, some ground mounted equipment will be necessary. For this
installation a small cabinet will be located inside the base of the water tower.
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 and setback requirements of City Code 9-12. The collocation
requirements of9-12-6 do not apply due to the fact that a new tower is not part of the proposal.
Additional future users would need to be evaluated on a case by case basis.
-----
Location
This site 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.
Future Changes
It is anticipated that the water tower will be removed from the park in the next 5 to 10 years. It
will not be necessary to reconstruct a new water tower in the park. The applicant has requested
the ability to construct a monopole tower to continue to provide coverage to this area of the city
at that time. City Code 9-12-3 requires a conditional use permit amendment to review the
proposed changes.
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
documentation indicating compliance with FCC requirements.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the proposed conditional use permit subject to the conditions
listed in the attached resolution.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council on the
conditional use permit request.

RE: Clear Wireless LLC Applications for Conditional Use Permits
To Attach Antennas to City of Andover Water Towers
Dear Andover City Council and Planning Commission:
With this letter and enclosures, Clear Wireless LLC (Clearwire) is applying for
conditional use permits to attach antennas to City of Andover water towers at 1717
Crosstown Boulevard NW (#MN-MSP304) and at 14055 Rose Street NW (#MN-
MSP422) in Andover and to locate ground equipment inside the base of these towers.
Relating to these requests, enclosed are the following:
1. Application forms for each of the sites signed by me as agent for Clearwire;
2. Two checks in the amount of $400 each for the application fee these antenna sites
(two additional checks in the amount of $130 each to cover the public notification
sign and the recording fee are forthcoming);
3. 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;
4. A photograph of each of the water towers with antennas simulated on them; and
5. A letter from Radio Frequency Engineer Gyan Pandey of Clearwire addressing
interference with public safety telecommunications, service coverage in the City
of Andover and FCC emission regulation compliance. Two maps are attached
which model service coverage in the City without and with the five proposed
Andover sites activated.
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 a little more than one
mile apart is required. Clearwire's standard antenna configuration consists three panel
antennas about four feet long by one foot wide and three microwave dish antennas 26" in
diameter. The Crosstown site has a fourth microwave dish antenna. The area surrounding
the antenna site is, for coverage purposes, divided into three sectors and panel antenna are
oriented at 30 degrees, 150 degrees and 270 degrees to serve 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. Equipment consists of a base station (43"H x 47"W x 30"D)
is located on the ground, in these cases inside the base of the towers.
--
Page 2- November 18, 2009 Letter to Andover City Council and Planning Commission
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. Please contact
me at 763-245-4852 or DAHagen(a1Live,com if additional information is required.
Thank you.
