The proposed tower would be a <br />monopole, in accordance with City Code, and proposes three co- location sites on the tower. <br />There would be no building, but the compound area would include ground equipment platforms. <br />An 8 -foot chain link fence with barb wire is proposed to enclose the compound, and would <br />connect to the existing fence on the park property. <br />Chairperson Nixt arrived at 7:05 p.m. <br />Ms. Dalnes stated when Alpine Park was platted and the park land was given to the City of <br />Ramsey, restrictive covenants were written into the development agreement between Waste <br />Management of Minnesota and the City of Ramsey that read as follows: "...regardless of the <br />provisions of the City's zoning code, as from time to time amended, the Property shall not be <br />used for any purpose other than park or open space..." The Declaration of Restrictive Covenants <br />would need to be amended to allow telecommunications towers in addition to parks and open <br />space. A proposed draft of the amended covenants, signed by Waste Management's director of <br />operations, is included in the Commission's packet. Ms. Dalnes indicated a <br />landscaping /screening plan has not been submitted at this time. <br />Planning Commission/ June 7, 2007 <br />Page 2 of 31 <br />
