will still comply with Ramsey City Code Architectural standards. Staff recommends approval of <br />the Site Plan amendment proposed by Lowell Zitzloff for the option to use pre-cast concrete <br />panels for the side and rear walls of the multi-tenant building. <br /> <br />Lowell Zitzloff stated they have a lot of block buildings experiencing deterioration and more <br />maintenance than spancrete exteriors. He advised that spancrete can be colored and is more <br />costly to construct but less maintenance. He stated that this has not been finalized but he would <br />like permission to use either one. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson asked why this request was not raised before the Planning <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Zitzloff explained the problem is the time it took to get the project approved which resulted <br />in winter construction. He noted that spancrete is aesthetically pleasing and can be erected more <br />quickly than block during winter construction. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Connolly, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to approve the <br />option for the utilization of pre-cast concrete panels on the rear and side walls of the Zitco <br />building proposed to be developed at 6111 'State Highway #10. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Pro tern Zimmerman, Councilmembers Connolly, <br />Anderson, and Hendriksen. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Gamec. <br /> <br />Case #6: <br /> <br />Request for Authorization for Execution of a Development Agreement with <br />Ramsey B&B L.L.C. <br /> <br />This item was addressed earlier in the meeting. <br /> <br />Case #7: <br /> <br />Request for a Conditional Use Permit for Personal Communication Service <br />Tower; Case of U.S. West Wireless <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik advised the City has received an application from U.S. <br />West Wireless to construct and operate a personal communication service (PCS) tower at 17515 <br />St. Francis Boulevard NW, which is a rural residential parcel owned and occupied by John and <br />Avis Gobernatz. U.S. proposes to erect a 180 foot tower northeast of the intersection of <br />Greenvalley Road and St. Francis Boulevard. They would lease a 30' x 30' acre parcel for the <br />construction and operation of a 180-foot monopole telephone tower. She explained equipment <br />cabinets will be located in a 10' x 12' area on the south side of the tower base and there is some <br />tree cover in the area so no additional security fencing or screening is being proposed. She noted <br />the Ordinance restricts antennas in residential areas to 75 feet but allows the Council to increase <br />the height. Mn/DOT is saying neither access is safe and to use them would result in a change in <br />use and need for an access permit which would probably be denied from Mn/DOT.
