Addition Locational Benefits <br />Other benefits that will be realized with the proposed location include the following: <br />• Increased security by having the structure within the fenced area on Connexus property in lieu <br />of an external site. <br />• Mitigation of "dig -ins" and other exposure of interruptions from locating infrastructure near <br />road right-of-ways or property owned by Others. <br />• Emergency back-up power from Connexus' onsite generator. <br />Other Considerations <br />• It is understood the City of Ramsey currently has a 100' tower height ordinance. Applying <br />multiple 100' towers in lieu of a single 200' structure is not feasible, due to the type of licensing <br />applied by the FCC to the frequency allocated for the land mobile radio system. <br />• The height of the tower makes provision for co -location by other entities. <br />Illustrations <br />Trees and berms currently on the property and adjacent park property in addition to locating the <br />structure on the "back" side to the building will provide some screening. Below are photos taken of the <br />property from the shoulder of surrounding streets with a similar 200' structure embedded in the photos <br />to scale to provide illustration of what this is anticipated to look like from the public view. <br />The proposed height of just under 200' is 35' taller than the 165' water tower to the southeast of <br />Connexus property. <br />Photo 1: Street view from Ramsey Blvd northbound, north of Sunwood Drive looking east <br />
