I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />'1 <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated it was mentioned if they move to the 167th Avenue site, the <br />diameter of the service area would shrink. <br /> <br />Mr. Mitchel stated they would have to move from 180 feet to co-location at about 140 to 145 <br />feet. He explained there is a restriction for service providers to have a certain separation from <br />other antennas to eliminate interference. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen asked if it is a different provider. <br /> <br />Mr. Mitchel stated it is. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly stated it would be valuable to obtain input from the Planning <br />Commission. She asked if U.S. West could reapply but without a public hearing process. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik clarified that U.S. West is not amending their height <br />request but only showing the number of additional towers that would be required if they reduced <br />the tower height to 75 feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Mit:hel noted the City hired an indepdhdent consultant who reviewed the plans and provided <br />his recommendation ora positive nature to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Bob Longfield, 5751 177th Avenue NW, Ramsey, asked why a tower is needed in this <br />neighborhood. He stated the City's boundary is only one-half a mile away and asked why an <br />existing tower is not being considered instead. Mr. Longfield stated the proposed tower area <br />could be developed in several years and a tower would restricfthat development and the location <br />of roads. He noted this will be a main development and there are chumhes to the north and south <br />that have plenty of property. He stated there is also a tower by LeTourneau and suggested that <br />site be considered. He stated it is ridiculous to even consider this location. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly stated that is why she supports a review by the Planning Commission <br />on how the ordinance should be written. <br /> <br />Mr. Longfield stated his support to stop this project, identify appropriate locations, and then <br />work with them in a partnership. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated consideration could be extended to April 16, 2000, or a <br />moratorium considered that would extend to about that Same time period. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson asked if the Community Development Director's dePartment requests <br />the extension. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik stated she would notify the applicant in writing that <br />the City is going to evoke its right for a 90-day extension. <br /> <br />City Councit/January 25, 2000 <br /> Page 19 of 35 <br /> <br /> <br />
