Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> • Re: American Portable Telecotn/Telecommunications Tower A 1 plication <br /> 18489 Twin Lakes Road <br /> Dear Planning Commission Members: <br /> On November 26, 1996.American Portable Telecom(APT), by its r-presentatives, appeared before the <br /> Elk River Planning Commission tb seek a recommendation of ap r1 val for the rezoning for an industrial <br /> site to establish an Antenna Overlay District. In particular, APT ke/uested 4ezoning for 18489 Twin <br /> Lakes Road within the City (the Site). APT also requested a recd endation of approval for a <br /> Conditional Use Permit (CUP)to erect a telecommunications tower on the Site. The Site was selected by <br /> APT's radio frequency engineer's based on a radio frequency anely is becaise it would provide superior <br /> RF coverage both to the City, and.'to adjacent highways. <br /> During the course of the November 26th meeting,members of the 'lanning Commission requested that • <br /> APT consider co-locating on a recently-approved AT&T tower. A'T's RF,engineers had previously <br /> analyzed the AT&T tower and determined that co.location would c eate a gap in coverage north of the <br /> AT&T tower. It was then suggested that PPT correct for the lack o coverage north of the AT&T tower <br /> by erecting a second tower on a ridge near some other existing tow.rs. APT agreed to evaluate this <br /> scenario in advance of your regularly scheduled December 19, 199. meeting. <br /> APT has now carefully analyzed the feasibility of co-locating on'th AT&T tower, in conjunction with <br /> • constructing a second tower on the ridge, as requested. While this -cenario does provide coverage along <br /> US Highway 169, the cost of complying with the wishes of the P1: ing Commission are prohibitive. In <br />
