CASE #2: <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO <br />CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN AN EMERGENCY RADIO RECEIVER TOWER; <br />CASE OF ANOKA COUNTY CENTRAL COMMUNICATIONS <br /> By: Planning Assistant Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Anoka County Central Communications is requesting a conditional use permit to construct and <br />maintain an emergency radio receiver tower as part of the 911 radio communications system in <br />Anoka County. Anoka County is currently in the process of a minor subdivision to create a 1/3 <br />acre parcel from Lot 1, Block 3, Autumn Heights, on which to locate the emergency radio tower. <br />The facility would consist of a 50 foot utility pole on which an antenna would be mounted, an 81 <br />square foot equipment shelter and 6 foot fencing encompassing the facility. The overall height of <br />the pole and antenna is estimated at 55-60 feet, a height sufficient to clear treetops. <br /> <br />On March 6, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and residents <br />expressed concern that the development of the receiver tower will blend in with the surrounding <br />area and preserve the natural environment on the proposed site. The Commission tabled any action <br />on the request for a conditional use permit and instructed Anoka County to meet with surrounding <br />residents to format an agreeable development plan. <br /> <br />The City received a letter from Morrie Mox, Senior Radio Technician at Anoka County Central <br />Communications dated March 26, 1990. That letter indicates that a development plan for the <br />receiver tower has been formulated which is acceptable to the surrounding residents. The points of <br />that plan have been incorporated into the proposed conditional use permit. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The purpose of the tower is to improve the capability of Ramsey Police and Fire Departments to <br />receive transmissions from Anoka County Central Communications. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br />e) <br />f) <br />g) <br />h) <br /> <br />i) <br />J) <br /> <br />Application <br />Site location map <br />Site plan (2 pages) <br />Public heating notice <br />Properties notified <br />Planning & Zoning Commission public hearing minutes dated March 6, 1990. <br />Planning & Zoning Commission regular meeting minutes dated March 6, 1990. <br />Letter from Morrie Mox of Anoka County Central Communications dated March <br />26, 1990. <br />Proposed findings of fact <br />Proposed conditional use permit <br /> <br /> <br />
