not be appropriate for a residential area. <br /> <br />Mr. Commers replied that if the site is approved, a more appropriate type of <br />fencing could be installed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox replied that if Cable TV is going to be available in <br />Ramsey, it is most likely going to be located in someones neighborhood. <br />The tower in Anoka has a 33' base and Councilmember Cox stated that this <br />tower is not going to bother the residents of Rolling Greens a bit. Council- <br />member Cox stated that his residence is adjacent to a tower, that he doesn't <br />even notice the tower, and that he would rather have a tower than some <br />barking dogs. <br /> <br />Diana Bruneau 16650 Dolomite - When I purchased property in Ramsey it <br />was on the understanding that it was residential property. Perhaps when <br />Councilmember Cox purchased his home he was aware that there was a tower <br />adjacent and I would rather contend with barking dogs than a power station. <br />All possible locations have not been thoroughly investigated, and I want <br />proof that they have been before you construct this tower in my back yard. <br /> <br />Mr. Berg replied that Council has to either approve this site or disapprove, <br />not come up with a more suitable site but rather just make a decision regarding <br />the site that was presented. <br /> <br />Mr. Commers replied that regarding locating on some agricultural property <br />at the intersection of 167th and Nowthen, there are subdivision ordinances <br />in effect that must be complied with and Group W only needs a piece of <br />property 200' x 200' He further stated that Group W does not want to be <br />controversial and if the proposed site is disapproved Group W will search <br />for another suitable site. <br /> <br />Mr. Fults stated that he has not approached the owners of agricultural <br />property at the intersection of 167th and Nowthen, but if any of the owners <br />are willing, will Council grant a variance for Group W to purchase one acre? <br />Group W is also willing to lease. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would be in favor of granting a variance for one <br />acre and that other suitable sites should have been investigated further. <br /> <br />Mr. Berg stated that if Council disapproves the proposed site, Group W <br />could end up going through the Conditional Use Permit process for the <br />other 3 sites at the intersection of 167th and Nowthen. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that at first he felt P & Z should have recommended <br />approval of the proposed site because 80% of Ramsey's population wants <br />Cable TV and only 7 or 8 residents of Rolling Green object to it being <br />located at this site, but now I feel that other more suitable sites should <br />have been investigated further. <br /> <br />Dave Voit - Owner of property proposed as site for tower - Suggested a <br />compromise -- the accessory building could be finished off so as to be more <br />pleasing to the eye and and would be willing to let the residents use the <br />balance of the subject property as a park area on a reversionary basis. <br /> <br />Gary Meyer - Group W - If Group W approaches property owners located on the <br />other 3 corners and we are turned down, then what? <br /> <br />C/December 21, 1982 <br />Page 9 of 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
