SUBJECT: 4. Consider 2009 Application for Scheduled Use of Recreational
Facilities/North Metro Soccer Association
DATE: February 18, 2010
INTRODUCTION
This item is in regard to consider a request by the North Metro Soccer Association (NMSA) to
hold a soccer camp at Sunshine Park.
DISCUSSION
Attached for your review is the application that has been submitted by the NMSA to use
Sunshine Park June 21-25,2010 from 9 am - 1 pm each day. The Park Commission will need
to approve waiving the Guideline requirements as part of the application (Note: NMSA will be
submitting the required guideline information as part of their normal application submittal for the
spring-summer use). Fees are not required as part of the application since this soccer camp is
associated with teams or groups from Andover. If the NMSA does receive approval to use the
soccer fields, it recommended rotating the 3 fields at Sunshine Park every day to minimize the
wear and tear to the fields. They may also have to use the outfields at Sunshine Park if they are
doing drills that don't need the soccer field lining.
ACTION REQUIRED
The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider the Application for Scheduled
Use of Recreational Facilities as requested by the North Metro Soccer Association.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT: PUBLIC BEARING: Conditional Use Permit 10-03 to consider
telecommunications tower for Clear Wireless, LLC in Shadowbrook East Park
located at 13789 Butternut StreetNW.
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 pennit 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.
--------
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 pelmit request.

RE: Clear Wireless LLC Applications for Conditional Use Pennits
To Construct Antenna Towers in Lions Park and Shadowbrook East Park
Dear Andover City Council and Planning Commission:
With this letter and enclosures, Clear Wireless LLC (Clearwire) is applying for
conditional use permits to construct antenna towers in Andover Lions Park (#MN-
MSP305) and Shadowbrook East Park (#"MN-MSP42S) in Andover and to locate ground
equipment inside fenced areas at the base of these towers. Enclosed are the following:
1. Application fonns for each of the sites signed by me as agent for Clearwire;
2. A set of plans for each ofthe sites consisting of small and large scale site plans
and north, east, south and west elevation plans;
3. Photographs ofthe setting for each ofthese 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 lin1e fence.

Page 2- November 18, 2009 Letter to Andover City Council and Planning COlmnission
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 accOlmnodate 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 antemlaS at varying heights. The ordinance
requires and plans indicate that each ofthese 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 an 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 ofthe 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-l2-9:C.1.a., b., and c. require a
description ofthe 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
ofmOlmting 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-l2-9:C.1.d.
Our understanding is that the Planning Commission will consider these conditional use
pennit 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 pennit. Please contact me at
763-245-4852 or DAHa~@Live.(;om if additional infonnation is required. Thank you.
Sincerely,

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 photo simulation 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 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. 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.
Staffrecommends 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. Staffis 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.

RE: Clear Wireless LLC Applications for Conditional Use Pennits
To Construct Antenna Towers in Lions Park and Shadowbrook East Park
Dear Andover City Council and Planning Commission:
With this letter and enclosures, Clear Wireless LLC (Clearwire) is applying for
conditional use pennits to construct antenna towers in Andover Lions Park (#MN-
MSP305) and Shadowbrook East Park (#MN-MSP425) in Andover and to locate ground
equipment inside fenced areas at the base of these towers. 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 lin1, fence simulated on them;
4. A letter from Clearwire Radio Frequency Engineer Gyan Pandey addressing
interference with public safety telecOLmnunications, 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 intemet 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 ofthree
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 ofthe City Clearwire is using a stealth
antelma design where the antennas are housed within the circmnference ofthe 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 accOlmnodate 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 antemlas at varying heights. The ordinance
requires and plans indicate that each ofthese 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, tmless a certification is provided that collapse ofthe 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.1.a., 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 docmnentation
of mOlmting 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, Section9-12-9:C.1.d.
OUf understanding is that the Planning Commission will consider these conditional use
permit requests at their meeting on December 8, 2009, ifthe 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 pennit. Please contact me at
763-245-4852 or DAHagel1fE1=ive. com if additional infonnation is required. Thank you.
Sincerely,

. Develop Site Plans for all existing parks which indicates the facilities available. (On-
Going).
. Andover Station North Ball Field Facility (propertv south of the old landfill) -The staff
has been aware that the ABA membership have been working on the list items of which the
Commission should have received about week ago or so. Once the items are completed
and the executed agreement has been signed, Andover Baseball Association (ABA) will be
able to occupy the building for storage upstairs. Note: ABA has contacted staff about
installing 2 batting cages installed between the west and middle field closer down to the
outfield fence. Also staff has been talking with baseball about netting around the
building/concession area, as there have some concerns with foul balls. Staff has received a
price quote from Beacon Sports and has forwarded this on to ABA for their review.
. Update of Park Dedication Improvement Fund Quarterlv Report - Next quarterly report
is due in April in 2010.
. Update of Quarterlv Sheriff's Department Report on Park Patrol & Vandalism - Next

workshop, the North Metro Soccer Association (NMSA) will now be going back to discuss
this with their board to see what they will be able to contribute to get the project started. It
will probably take a couple months for the NMSA board to discuss this and probably the
earliest that the city will from them will be near the end of March.
