Maple Grove: Absolute tower height limit of 50 feet and antenna height of 10 feet; no <br /> provisions for variance or conditional use permit to exceed the height limits. <br /> <br />Elk River: <br /> <br />Towers, antennas, chimneys, etc. are allowed to exceed the maximum <br />structure height established for that district by 100%; to exceed that would <br />require a variance. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaDue inquired as to why Mr. Monson is proposing an 80' tower as opposed to <br />30' or some other figure. <br /> <br />Mr. Monson replied that height is everything when it comes to the ability to communicate. He <br />stated his specifications are 80' with an antenna that extends up to 100' which allows for excellent <br />communication. <br /> <br />Acting Chairman Hendriksen questioned the height with regard to air space. <br /> <br />Mr. Monson replied that FAA has been notified. He also explained that he is 8,000 feet from the <br />end of the runway of Gateway North Industrial Airport. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thorud asked with regard to reception interference if this included television sets. <br /> <br />Mr. Monson replied that the solid state televisions will be properly protected. He also explained <br />that his license is given to him by the FCC and renewed every five years, therefore, it can also be <br />revoked at any time or not renewed if he is operating improperly. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission proceeded to review the findings of fact. <br /> <br />The language in facts #1 through #11 remain as presented. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Terry and seconded by Commissioner Bawden to have fact #12 read <br />"That the proposed use will not be..." <br /> <br />Motion carried.
