Mr. Commers further stated that the building will <br />house electronic equipment which will distribute cable throughout the City <br />of Ramsey. The main facility is in Anoka and that facility will receive <br />programming from satellites and Shoreview tower, microwave signals are then <br />transmitted to adjacent communities. The reason Outlot A of Rolling Green <br />was selected as the most suitable site is because the tower must be situated <br />at a centrally located location so that the cable signal can be distributed <br />evenly throughout the City. The cable strand is attached to ~elephone and <br />utility poles throughout the City. Group W is proposing a.120-125' guide <br />tower on location and there will be no interference to homeowner's telephone <br />or television -- it is a receive-only tower. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Terry Bruneau - 16650 Dolomite St. N.W. - Stated that he has no objection to <br />cable T.V. in Ramsey, but does have some basic concerns from a residential <br />and City standpoint.

Developer at that time, did intend to rezone to Commercial <br />at some future date. City policy has been not to allow single family <br />dwellings on outlots <br /> <br />Leo Kinebel - 16531 Ebony St. N.W. - Is there any reason why a single family <br />dwelling couldn't be situated at the proposed location? What will the City <br />gain by allowing Group W to utilize this location? How does the City stand <br />from a tax standpoint comparing the single family dwelling unit to a T.V. <br />tower? <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Berg replied that a single family dwelling could be ai~ the'location <br /> <br /> P & Z/December 7, 1982 <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Page i of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
