1 & 6.2. <br /> ( � ITEM 6. . <br /> ty of „/ MEMORANDUM <br /> Fj1Jjç Ri <br /> ver TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: Scott Harlicker, Planning Assistant-1, <br /> DATE: December 19, 1996 *�� <br /> SUBJECT: American Portable Telecom Request <br /> for Rezoning and Conditional Use <br /> Permit, Public Hearing Case No.'s <br /> ZC 96-20 and CU 96-26 <br /> Request <br /> American Portable Telecom is requesting a zone change to rezone certain <br /> property to Antenna Overlay District (AT) and a conditional use permit for a <br /> wireless communication antenna tower and equipment buildings. <br /> Update <br /> • At the November 26, 1996 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission <br /> tabled these items to the December meeting to allow APT time to look at <br /> other alternative antenna sites. It was specifically requested that they <br /> consider collocating on the AT&T tower and on one of the towers located near <br /> the intersection of County Road 33 and County Road 77. This request is an <br /> attempt to satisfy the intent of the antenna overlay district of minimizing <br /> the number of new towers. <br /> Staff has not had an opportunity to review the requested information. The <br /> applicant's representative, Linda Whitman, has indicated that the analysis <br /> was completed and the results will be made available the night of the <br /> meeting. Ms. Whitman declined to provide staff the information prior to the <br /> meeting as it would became public information. It will be APT's position that <br /> since they can accomplish the necessary coverage by constructing an antenna <br /> on the Industrial Hardfacing site, they are opposed to the option of <br /> collocating on the AT&T tower and on one of the towers located on County <br /> Road 33. Attached for your review is a letter from Larkin, Hoffman, Daly & <br /> Lindgren, attorneys for APT, which further explains their position regarding <br /> collocating on the AT&T tower. <br /> There has been communication between Ms. Whitman and Ron Mielke, Real <br /> • Estate Acquisition Manager for AT&T Cellular, regarding the possibility of <br /> collocating on AT&T's tower. APT has also been sent a copy of AT&T's <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br />
