Planning Manager Miller stated it allows the Planning Commission and City Council to perhaps add additional requirements or decide the sight is not appropriate for the use any longer if the sight is too small and does not have ample display area. Motion by Commissioner Van Scoy, seconded by Commissioner Rogers, to direct City Staff to forward the proposed ordinance amendment for Section 9.20.22 and 9.20.27 of City Code to City Council for adoption.

Case #7: Public Hearing — Proposed Ordinance to Allow for Wind Energy Conversion Systems; Case of City of Ramsey Public Hearing Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 10: 35 p.m. Presentation Associate Planner Gladhill presented the Staff Report. Citizen Input There was none. Motion by Chairperson Levine, seconded by Commissioner Van Scoy, to close the public hearing. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners, Van Scoy, Cleveland, Dunaway, Hunt, and Rogers. Voting No: None. Absent: None. The public hearing closed at 10:52 p.m. Commission Business Commissioner Van Scoy asked what size lot would be considered. Associate Planner Gladhill stated two and one half acre lots. There are also provisions for smaller lots with a 1000 foot setback if it is determined shadow flicker or noise are not going to impact that residential parcel. Discussion ensued regarding the electrical standards, and co- location of antennas. Electrical standards are set by State Statue and the State inspector would handle all inspections. Telecommunications antennas that co- locate can not interfere with public safety communications and that should be clarified in the ordinance. It was also requested that these items be referenced in the ordinance for historical purposes. Planning Commission /August 6, 2009 Page 11 of 12
