Associate Planner Gladhill explained the City had a moratorium on cell phone towers during <br />which time staff studied the height, location, and setbacks in the City. At the August 7, 2008, <br />Planning Commission meeting a recommendation was made. However, Commissioners <br />questioned the motion reflected in the meeting minutes so staff reviewed the tape and confirmed <br />that direction was given to staff to work with a property owner who wanted his property <br />excluded from the Overlay District. The Planning Commissioner didn't think they motioned to <br />exclude the property, but that is how the motion was introduced. He stated this Ordinance was <br />introduced on July 22, 2008, and is available for adoption tonight. <br />Councilmember Dehen noted the new height limit was adjusted to 100 feet and asked what was <br />the rationale to add 20 feet more. He asked if they couldn't use the 100 -foot height to co -locate. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill explained it gives the applicant incentive to construct with co - <br />locations to get the extra 20 feet. <br />Mayor Gamec noted it will result in fewer towers because of co -locating. <br />Community Development Director Miller stated locations in parks would also be considered to <br />allow the Council's preference to locate antennas on light poles. He advised City Engineer <br />Olson has indicated light poles for ball diamonds would top out at 100 feet, at the highest, so an <br />additional 20 feet would be needed for tower with co -locates. <br />Councilmember Elvig left the Council Chambers at 8:52 p.m. <br />Motion by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Councilmember Look, to adopt Ordinance #08- <br />24 amending City Code Section 9.15 Towers. <br />A roll call vote was performed by the Recording Secretary: <br />Councilmember Dehen: aye <br />Councilmember Elvig: absent <br />Councilmember Strommen: absent <br />Councilmember Jeffrey: aye <br />Councilmember Olson: aye <br />Councilmember Look: aye <br />Mayor Gamec: aye <br />Motion carried. <br />Case #7: Adopt Ordinance to Amend Section 9.12 (Signs) of City Code to Incorporate <br />"Dynamic Display" Sign Regulations; Case of the City of Ramsey <br />Community Development Director Miller stated on July 22, 2008, the City Council introduced <br />an ordinance to amend sign regulations to regulate dynamic display signs.
