currently on the entrance. Staff could do plowing in the winter to keep everything where they want it. Mr. Stevens indicated once the tower is constructed it will be a technician that will be known to the Fire Chief who will visit the site. The same technician will be assigned to the site and will visit it every month. Councilmember Dehen asked if the technician could walk up to the tower instead of driving on the entrance. Mr. Stevens replied the technician will be carrying a 50 to 60 pound pack of equipment, a box, or a mother board. The ability to drive to the site will be beneficial. Councilmember Elvig inquired about the City's anticipation of building a water tower. Public Works Director Olson indicated there are plans to build a water treatment facility, not a water tower. The location of the water tower was looked at for co-location, but the coverage area was not the same. He would like to note this is the tower that is located in the existing Ramsey Crossing project that is being relocated to this site. City Attorney Goodrich advised to date the actual transfer of T -Mobile's current tower site has not been negotiated. T-Mobile has a lease interest in the current tower site, which is a value to them that is being condemned. Mr. Goodrich recommended the following be added to the resolution: This conditional use permit is not to be deemed as approval by the City ofthe subject property without a lease agreement approval. Mr. Olson indicated the City needs to provide T-Mobile with the same access they currently have. If the City chooses to pay for impervious surface it can be worked through.
