Brief Description Conditional use permit for a telecommunications tower with a

height variance on the property located at 4525 Williston Road Recommendation Recommend the city council adopt the resolution approving the

request ______________________________________________________________________ Project No. 05011.17a Property Williston Water Tower site, 4525 Williston Road Applicant Verizon Wireless Proposal Verizon Wireless is requesting a conditional use permit for construction and operation of a telecommunications tower and associated ground equipment. The tower and equipment would be located directly south of the existing water tower. Site Features The site is located on the south side of the Highway 7, south frontage road and east of Williston Road. The property is 1.15 acres in size (excluding the larger city owned property to the east) and is improved with the Williston Water Tower which is approximately 130 feet in height. The site rises approximately 35 feet from the frontage road to the south property line. In addition to providing space for the water tower, the city has managed the landscape as an oak woodland brushland restoration area. This area is part of the broader Tower Hill Park Habitat Restoration. Proposed Location The proposed tower location was determined after a long collaboration with city staff to evaluate various options on the subject property as well as the adjacent Tower Hill Park. Although the nearly 9-acre city owned area between Williston and Woodhill Road appear to provide many potential tower locations, a number of factors limit options including:

• Water and utility lines crossing through the area,

• Underground city water storage tanks,

Meeting of May 4, 2017 Page 2 Subject: Verizon Tower, 4525 Williston Road

• Proximity to surrounding residential neighborhoods,

• Visual impact to the Highway 7 corridor,

• Viable options that work with the carrier’s requirements including equipment

access,

• Topography,

• Wooded and wetland areas; and,

• Accessibility from and proximity to adjacent streets or existing driveways. While it is not customary for the city to engage so directly in project details, in this situation as the property owner, the city has numerous interests in identifying a location that is acceptable. As noted, the proposed tower would be located directly south of the water tower. This location is in an area that is reasonably accessible from the south frontage road, has minimal disruption to habitat and landscape, and does not interfere with the numerous public utilities around the site. From a visual perspective, the location between the water tower and the woods provides sheltering when viewed from many angles. The tower would be located 90 feet directly south of the water tower. The tower base would be approximately 16 feet higher in elevation than the base of the water tower. The tower would be 67 feet higher than the water tower. The ground equipment would be located between the monopole and the water tower. Grading is proposed to “tuck” the equipment better into the hillside to help reduce visual impacts. A 6-foot retaining wall is shown on the south side of equipment pad. Metal fencing 7-feet in height would enclose the ground equipment. A proposed sidewalk would connect the ground equipment and tower to the water tower access road. Proposed Tower The proposed tower total height would be 180 feet. The tower would be of stealth design to blend the tower into the surrounding environment. The tower would incorporate the antennas into the monopole structure so that they do not project out from the side of the structure. The pole would also be painted an ivory/off white color, similar to the nearby water tower, to minimize the visual impact of the structure. The tower design would incorporate features for multiple antennas between 150 and 180 feet on the tower. (See photo simulations). Minnetonka Telecommunication Ordinance The city recognizes the value of wireless communications, while also recognizing that freestanding telecommunications towers may have a visual impact on the areas in which

Meeting of May 4, 2017 Page 3 Subject: Verizon Tower, 4525 Williston Road they are located. In an attempt to balance the technological positive with the aesthetic negative, the city’s current telecommunications ordinance favors the installation of technology on existing support structures – such as water towers, buildings, and high voltage transmission poles – over the construction of freestanding towers. This is evidenced in the ordinance in several ways:

• Administrative Permit vs. Conditional Use Permit. The installation of wireless facilities on existing support structures can often be reviewed and approved administratively. A freestanding telecommunications tower can be approved only by conditional use permit.

• Conditional Use Permit Standards. By conditional use permit standard, an

applicant for a freestanding telecommunications tower must prove that there is no existing antenna support structure that could adequately serve the area if antennas were placed on it.

Staff Analysis In speaking with telecommunication providers, city staff regularly outlines the goals of the telecommunication ordinance and strongly suggests providers look for support structures on which they can install antennas. In the case of the current application, Verizon previously sought a location on the top of the water tower to achieve coverage needs to the south. The city declined a departure from its public water tower policy to allow Verizon to meet its coverage needs. In doing so, the city suggested that a monopole may be an alternative means to gaining coverage needs. During the concept plan review, Verizon had proposed a 150-foot tower to achieve its coverage needs. Since those review meetings, staff, the city’s telecommunications consultant and representatives from Verizon have continued to discuss details of the proposal. After much discussion, the city’s telecommunications consultant made the recommendation to consider increasing the tower height. In this circumstance, increasing the tower height has the following advantages:

1) The increased height would provide additional collocation opportunities,

2) The increased height and additional collocation opportunities will greatly reduce the need for other monopoles in the area for the foreseeable future; and,

3) The increased height and additional collocation opportunities reduces pressure for additional telecommunications equipment space on the city’s water tower which is at capacity.

Given the lack of viable alternatives to collocate telecommunications equipment on existing structures in the area to provide Verizon reasonable coverage, staff views the proposal as reasonable.

Meeting of May 4, 2017 Page 4 Subject: Verizon Tower, 4525 Williston Road Although the proposed telecommunications facility is reasonable for the following reasons:

1) The proposed telecommunications facility would provide the applicant with reasonable coverage,

2) The proposed telecommunications facility would be constructed of stealth design and sited in a manner to minimize visual impacts,

3) The proposed telecommunications facility would allow collocation opportunities for other providers,

4) The proposed telecommunications facility would not create impacts that would negatively jeopardize the delivery of essential public services; and,

5) The proposed telecommunications facility would not negatively impact the health, safety and welfare of the community.

Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the planning commission recommend approval to the city council to adopt a resolution approving a conditional use permit for a telecommunication facility at 4525 Williston Road.

Supporting Information Surrounding Northerly: Commercial, zoned B-1 Land Uses Easterly: Tower Hill Park; zoned R-1

Southerly: Single-family homes; zoned R-1 Westerly: Single-family homes; zoned R-1

Planning Guide Plan designation: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1 Previous Reviews Verizon previously sought a location on the top of the water tower

to achieve coverage needs to the south. The city has a policy regarding the use of public water towers for antennas. As stated in city council policy 12.5, priority is granted to public safety and governmental agencies before private entities. Currently, the top of the water tower is exclusively used by public safety and governmental agencies. Private cellular providers have only been allowed on the “flute” of the tower under the bulb of the tank. In the 2015 discussion, the city determined that: 1) The Verizon proposal to locate private equipment on top of

the water tower would not be advantageous to telecommunications equipment already in place, and

2) Exploration of other alternatives such as a monopole antenna on the water tower property was a possibility.

Federal Law Under federal law, communities may not: (1) discriminate

between telecommunications providers; (2) ban the construction, modification, or placement of facilities in a particular area; or (3) regulate the placement, construction, or modification of facilities based on the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions.

Federal law does not prohibit the denial of specific

telecommunications facilities requests. However, the denial must be based on a “reasoned approach” and must be made in writing.

Administrative By ordinance, telecommunication facilities can be reviewed and Review approved administratively when the facility would be located on:

(1) a high-voltage transmission tower; or (2) on an antenna support structure for which a CUP has already been approved. In

Meeting of May 4, 2017 Page 6 Subject: Verizon Tower, 4525 Williston Road

addition, the ordinance allows administrative review and approval of a one-time 15-foot extension of an existing facility.

Variance Standards The proposal meets the variance standard outlined in City Code

§300.07 Subd. 1(a):

PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE: The R-1 District allows telecommunications facilities as a conditional use on public or institutional property guided for low-density residential.

CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The comprehensive plan guides the property for low-density residential use. PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES: There are practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance:

REASONABLENESS:

The request is reasonable for the applicant to achieve reasonable telecommunications coverage. The city’s telecommunications consulting engineer determined the minimum height required to obtain reasonable coverage exceeds the 90 feet telecommunications tower standards established in city code section 300.34 subd. 4(b)(1)(d). Therefore a variance is warranted to comply with the Federal Telecommunications Act.

UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCE:

Although the water tower would provide the necessary height for reasonable coverage, space is not available for collocation. There are no other facilities or buildings available for collocation in the required coverage area. The construction of a telecommunications tower at this location and height is unique. The city does allow a tower of similar height up to 199 feet high if the applicant can demonstrate that off-site views of the tower will be minimized by the topography of the site and surrounding area, the location of the tower, the tower design, the surrounding tree cover and structures, or the use of screening.

CHARACTER OF LOCALITY:

City code would allow a telecommunications tower as a conditional use permit on many properties in the immediate area. The presence of the water tower, commercial development, tree canopy and topographic change help reduce the visual impact of

Meeting of May 4, 2017 Page 7 Subject: Verizon Tower, 4525 Williston Road

the additional tower height requested. The location of the proposed tower was determined in order to minimize potential visual impacts.

CUP Standards The proposal would not meet the specific conditional use permit standards as outlined in City Code §300.34 Subd.4(b):

1) Telecommunication facilities may be located only on public orinstitutional property: in R-1 and R-2 residential districts andon property guided for low-density residential in the PlannedI-394 District subject the standards listed in subparagraphs bthrough e which follow.

Finding: The proposed facility would be located oninstitutional property.

2) An applicant must provide an analysis prepared by a radio orelectrical engineer demonstrating that the proposed locationof the antennas is necessary to meet the coverage andcapacity needs of its system and that there is no existingantenna support structure that could adequately serve thearea if antennas were placed on it. The applicant must alsopay the reasonable expenses of a radio or electrical engineerretained by the city, at its option, to review this analysis;

Finding: The information supplied by the applicant wasreviewed by the city’s telecommunications consultant. Theconsultant confirmed that the location and height reasonablymeet the applicant’s coverage needs.

3) A telecommunications facility must use as many stealthdesign techniques as reasonably possible. Economicconsiderations alone are not justification for failing to providestealth design techniques. The city council may require that adifferent location be used if it would result in less publicvisibility, is available, and would meet the applicant’sreasonable capacity and coverage needs; and

Finding: The applicant is proposing a stealth designmonopole structure.

4) A telecommunications tower and antennas, includingattachments other than lighting rods, must not exceed 75 feetin height, measured from grade. The city council may increasethis height to 90 feet if the increase in height would not havea significant impact on surrounding properties because of

Meeting of May 4, 2017 Page 8 Subject: Verizon Tower, 4525 Williston Road

proximity, topography or screening by trees or buildings or would accommodate two or more users. The city council may waive this height standard for a tower used wholly or partially for essential public services, such as public safety.

Finding: The city’s telecommunications consultant has confirmed that the minimum height needed to provide reasonable coverage is 150 feet. The council will need to grant a variance to the height requirement in order to provide the applicant with reasonable coverage.

Pyramid of Discretion Motion Options The planning commission has two options:

1) Concur with the staff recommendation. In this case a motion should be made recommending the city council approve the request based on the findings outlined in the staff-drafted resolution.

2) Disagree with staff’s recommendation. In this case, a motion

should be made recommending the city council deny the request. This motion should include findings for approval.

Neighborhood The city sent notices to 180 area property owners and received Comments no comments to date. Deadline for July 18, 2017 Decision

REPORT REGARDING CONSTRUCTION

OF A 180-FOOT COMMUNICATIONS TOWER

ON THE ALADDIN WATER TOWER

MINNETONKA, MINNESOTA

FOR VERIZON WIRELESS

PREPARED BY:

GARRETT G. LYSIAK, P.E.

APRIL 21, 2017

1

Engineering Statement The documents submitted by Verizon Towers to The City of Minnetonka for a new 180-foot tower were reviewed for compliance with the technical requirements of the (Wireless Telecommunications Overlay) of the zoning ordinance. The site is located at the Aladdin Water tower on Williston Road. The proposed site has been evaluated several times in the past for both locating on the top of the water tank and various new tower locations in the surrounding area. The studies showed that a new tower is required to achieve the desired coverage and loading for the communications system. In the proposed location, the water tower will shield the signals so various heights were examined to minimize this condition. Once the new tower location was determined, the coverage was determined and several heights between 140 and 180 feet were analyzed. The minimum height for the tower to provide adequate coverage was determined to be 140-feet. However, one consideration was to have the tower designed for future increase in height to permit other communications systems to be located on the new tower. Verizon submitted the new application with the increased height so future users could be located on it at a minimal disruption to their system operation. This proposed height would eliminate the future need for a tower in the nearby area since the Ordinance requires using existing towers before any new towers could be approved.

Summary

The review of the proposed Verizon tower indicates that:

• It would provide the required wireless system coverage to eliminate the present existing poor coverage area and provide enhanced existing coverage.

• The site is not predicted to cause any interference products to any protected

frequency in the area and is not predicted to be an RF radiation hazard.

• The tower at the proposed height is designed to accommodate additional communications systems.

2

• The proposal is in compliance with the structural requirements of the

ordinance.

• Due to the lack of any existing towers or adequate support structures in the vicinity, the site would need to locate very near to the proposed location to fill the coverage gap.

Respectfully submitted,

Garrett G. Lysiak, P.E.

December 15, 2015

City of Minnetonka Ms. Susan M. Thomas, Principal Planner 14600 Minnetonka Blvd. Minnetonka, MN 55435

Reference: Height Verification Study - Verizon Wireless for the Williston Road Water Tank at 4525 Williston Rd., Minnetonka, MN

Dear Ms. Thomas: We have completed the height verification study for the Verizon proposal for one antenna to be located on top of the Williston water tower and the remaining antennas to be located at 70' The first step in the analysis was to perform a shadow study to show the effect of the topography to the south of the water tower (Figure 1) using all the antennas at 70'. The shadow area is apparent to the SE of the water tower on this map. The second step was to perform the same study with the antenna moved to the 132' level on the water tank (Figure 2). This map shows that this new height will significantly reduce the shadow effect of the nearby hills to the water tower. It doesn't eliminate the shadow entirely. Both of these shadow studies considered the terrain, however, foliage such as trees were not considered and would only further increase the path losses. The applicant expressed their concerns: “The problem is further complicated by the fact that this ridge is heavily wooded by trees ranging from fifty to seventy-five feet making signal propagation impossible if the antennas facing south had to be located on the fluted portion of the tank.” 1 We then performed several coverage studies of the Williston site and 2 potential replacements on the Xcel power towers to the east of the water tank. The first of these studies is Figure 3. This shows the coverage if the Williston site were constructed at 70'. As you can see, there are coverage gaps to the SE of the water tank. 1 March 25, 2015 letter : Antenna Placement on the top of the tank

The second study is Figure 4 and this is the Williston site constructed at 132'. It is apparent that the coverage to the south is enhanced with this additional height. We then ran 2 studies with the Williston site not constructed and the Verizon site to be built on one of the existing two (2) Xcel power towers along I494 to the east of the site (Figures 5 & 6). As you can see, both of these locations do cover the area south of the Williston WT, but they create significant coverage gaps to the west of Williston road. In summary, we have verified that the additional height requested by Verizon on the Williston water tower is necessary to provide quality coverage to the south of Hwy. 7 due to the rolling terrain and foliage in the area. Conclusions drawn in this report are based on observations and on information available, known and declared at the date of investigation and/or the time of preparation of this report. Should additional information be uncovered or made available, we retain the right to revise or supplement our report accordingly. If you have any questions in this matter please contact either of us. Sincerely,

Garrett G. Lysiak, P.E.

Unapproved Minnetonka Planning Commission

Minutes

May 4, 2017 C. Conditional use permit for a telecommunications tower on the

property located at 4525 Williston Road. Chair Kirk introduced the proposal and called for the staff report. Gordon reported. He recommended approval of the application based on the findings and subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Karen O’Brian, representing the applicant, was available to answer questions. She held a neighborhood meeting, but no neighbors attended. City staff have been wonderful to work with. Gary Lysiak, engineering consultant, stated that the proposed tower’s height has been increased to provide the needed height for potential additional users. The tower would be erected in one day. The public hearing was opened. No testimony was submitted and the hearing was closed. In response to Schack’s question, Gordon explained that Verizon would construct the telecommunications tower on city property. Mr. Lysiak added that most cities, including Minnetonka, have an ordinance requiring telecommunication companies to utilize existing towers before constructing a new one. Telecommunication companies are accustomed to the sharing equipment. Schack noted that the neighbors have probably come to terms with having a water tower on the site, so it would make the telecommunications tower less noticeable. It is a good location. She is glad that there would be space for additional users. Chair Kirk noted that the first time around, neighbors did provide comments. Powers thought that the proposal is a good idea. Staff worked hard and figured out the exact right place to locate the tower. The neighbors have already adjusted to the proximity of the water tower. Calvert said that the additional photos in the presentation were extremely helpful.

Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes May 4, 2017 Page 2

Calvert moved, second by Powers, to recommend that the city council adopt a resolution approving a conditional use permit for a telecommunication facility at 4525 Williston Road. Calvert, Powers, Schack, Sewall, and Kirk voted yes. Knight and O’Connell were absent. Motion carried.

CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW

City Council Agenda Item #14_ Meeting of October 24, 2016

Brief Description Concept plan review Williston water tower monopole

Action Requested Discuss concept plan with the applicant. No formal action required.

Background

In 2015, the city was approached by Verizon Wireless to locate telecommunications equipment on the Williston Water Tower located at 4525 Williston Road. Specifically, Verizon’s request was to locate equipment at the top of the water tower to gain improvements to its coverage area to the south.

The city has a policy regarding the use of public water towers for antennas. As stated in city council policy 12.5, priority is granted to public safety and governmental agencies before private entities. Currently, the top of the water tower is exclusively used by public safety and governmental agencies. Private cellular providers have only been allowed on the “flute” of the tower under the bulb of the tank. (See pages 5-9).

In the 2015 discussion, the city determined that:

1) The Verizon proposal to locate private equipment on top of the water tower wouldnot be advantageous to telecommunications equipment already in place, and

2) Exploration of other alternatives such as a monopole antenna on the water towerproperty was a possibility.

Over the past many months, city staff, the city’s wireless consulting engineer and Verizon representatives have worked together on a monopole antenna as an alternative to locating Verizon telecommunications equipment on top of the water tower. The potential monopole would be 140-feet in height (slightly higher than the 135 foot water tower) and be located approximately 100-feet directly south of the water tower on city property at a ground elevation 17 feet higher than the base elevation of the water tower. (See plans on pages 1–4.)

The monopole was sited in this location after a careful review of many factors including:

1) Not disturbing habitat restoration areas of Tower Hill Park,

2) Location of the underground water storage tank at Tower Hill Park,

3) Location of watermains and other underground utilities,

Meeting of October 24, 2016 Page 2 Subject: Williston water tower monopole

4) Proximity to the water tower,

5) Proximity to surrounding residential neighborhoods,

6) Visual impact to the Highway 7 corridor and

7) Viable options that work with the carrier’s requirements. Planning Commission Concept Review The planning commission reviewed the concept plan at their September 22, 2016 meeting. The commission generally agreed that a monopole was appropriate. Discussion comments included questions about the existing capacity for new providers below the bulb, tree impacts, health impacts and design. (See pages 11-12). There were no members of the public in attendance. Review Process Staff has outlined the following review process for the proposal. At this time, a formal application has not been submitted. A formal application would require the following:

1) Consent from the city for use of public property and,

2) An application for a conditional use permit for the construction of a monopole telecommunications tower.

• Neighborhood Meeting. The city hosted a neighborhood meeting along with

Verizon on August 24, 2016. Three neighborhood residents were in attendance. Discussion among residents, city staff and Verizon representative in attendance included:

o What other locations were looked at?

o Why not a location on city property to the east nearer to Woodhill Road?

o Move the tower south up the hill, possibly into the residential neighborhood if the city were to purchase additional residential property.

o What is the size of the tower? Will the tower have guy wires? o Will other providers want to locate on the monopole? o Co-location options for other providers available on the monopole? o Discussion about the two design options: 1) a monopole with stealth design or

internal antennas and 2) a monopole with a “crow’s nest” or external antennas. External antennas may allow for more co-location potential than a stealth design monopole. What would be the possibilities of other providers wanting to locate on a monopole? It would be beneficial to receive additional

Meeting of October 24, 2016 Page 3 Subject: Williston water tower monopole

input on both options as it has implications on future site development and use. A stealth monopole could limit the number of providers. Would limiting colocation opportunities create the need for an additional monopole in the future?

• Planning Commission Concept Plan Review. The planning commission

Concept Plan Review is intended as a follow-up to the neighborhood meeting. The objective of this meeting is to identify major issues and challenges in order to inform the subsequent review and discussion. The meeting will include a presentation by the developer of conceptual sketches and ideas, but not detailed engineering or architectural drawings. No staff recommendations are provided, the public is invited to offer comments, and planning commissioners are afforded the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback without any formal motions or votes.

• City Council Concept Plan Review. The city council Concept Plan Review is intended as a follow-up to the planning commission meeting and would follow the same format as the planning commission Concept Plan Review. No staff recommendations are provided, the public is invited to offer comments, and council members are afforded the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback without any formal motions or votes.

Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the city council provide comment and feedback to assist the applicant with future direction that may lead to the preparation of more detailed development plans. Feedback on the notification area for future mailings during the formal review process is also requested. Through: Geralyn Barone, City Manager Julie Wischnack, AICP, Community Development Director Originator: Loren Gordon, AICP, City Planner

Meeting of October 24, 2016 Page 4 Subject: Williston water tower monopole

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Next Steps • Formal Application. If the developer chooses to file a formal application,

notification of the application would be mailed to area property owners. Property owners are encouraged to view plans and provide feedback via the city’s website. Through recent website updates: (1) staff can provide residents with ongoing project updates, (2) residents can “follow” projects they are particularly interested in by signing up for automatic notification of project updates; (3) residents may provide project feedback on project; and (4) and staff can review resident comments.

• Neighborhood Meeting. Prior to the planning commission meeting and official public hearing, an additional public meeting would be held with neighbors to discuss specific engineering, architectural and other details of the project, and to solicit feedback. This extends the timing that has historically been provided in advance of the planning commission review to allow more public consideration of the project specifics.

• Council Introduction. The proposal would be introduced at a city council meeting. At that time, the council would be provided another opportunity to review the issues identified during the initial concept plan review meeting, and to provide direction about any refinements or additional issues they wish to be researched, and for which staff recommendations should be prepared.

• Planning Commission Review. The planning commission would hold an official

public hearing for the development review and would subsequently recommend action to the city council.

• City Council Action. Based on input from the planning commission, professional

staff and general public, the city council would take final action. Roles and Responsibilities • Applicants. Applicants are responsible for providing clear, complete and timely

information throughout the review process. They are expected to be accessible to both the city and to the public, and to respect the integrity of the public process.

• Public. Neighbors and the general public will be encouraged and enabled to participate in the review process to the extent they are interested. However, effective public participation involves shared responsibilities. While the city has an obligation to provide information and feedback opportunities, interested residents are expected to accept the responsibility to educate themselves about the project

Meeting of October 24, 2016 Page 5 Subject: Williston water tower monopole

and review process, to provide constructive, timely and germane feedback, and to stay informed and involved throughout the entire process.

• Planning Commission. The planning commission hosts the primary forum for public input and provides clear and definitive recommendations to the city council. To serve in that role, the commission identifies and attempts to resolve development issues and concerns prior to the council’s consideration by carefully balancing the interests of applicants, neighbors, and the general public.

• City Council. As the ultimate decision maker, the city council must be in a position to equitably and consistently weigh all input from their staff, the general public, planning commissioners, applicants and other advisors. Accordingly, council members traditionally keep an open mind until all the facts are received. The council ensures that residents have an opportunity to effectively participate in the process.

• City Staff. City staff is neither an advocate for the public nor the applicant. Rather, staff provides professional advice and recommendations to all interested parties, including the city council, planning commission, applicant and residents. Staff advocates for its professional position, not a project. Staff recommendations consider neighborhood concerns, but necessarily reflect professional standards, legal requirements and broader community interests.

City of Minnetonka City Council Policy 12.5

Page 1 of 5

Policy Number 12.5 Use of City Water Towers for the Location of Antennas

Purpose of Policy: This policy establishes a uniform policy for reviewing requests for the location of antennas on city water towers.

Introduction The city has received requests for the location of various antennae on its water towers. The council has determined that a uniform policy for reviewing these requests is desirable.

Permitted Locations Antennae not owned by the city of Minnetonka will be permitted only on water towers that have been sufficiently modified, in the opinion of the public works director to adequately accommodate those antennae. The modification must be done at the user’s expense.

Permitted Users Only the following entities may place antennae on city water towers, in order of descending priority:

1. City of Minnetonka

2. Public safety agencies, including law enforcement, fire, and ambulance services, thatare not part of the city of Minnetonka.

3. Other governmental agencies, for uses that are not related to public safety.

4. Government-regulated entities whose antennae offer a service to the general publicfor a fee, in a manner similar to a public utility, such as long distance and cellulartelephone. This does not include radio or television broadcasters.

If there is a conflict in use between potential and existing users, permission for use will be granted in order of priority listed above.

Application Process All applicants who wish to locate antennae on city water towers must submit to the public works director a completed application form and a detailed plan of the proposed installation. Staff will review the application to determine the appropriateness of the request, including the aesthetic impact and the structural integrity of the tower. Staff may retain the services of a structural engineer to analyze the structural capacity. The applicant must reimburse the city for the cost of this analysis.

The technical analysis and other relevant data will be submitted to the city council for its review. City council approval is conditioned on a finding by a professional communications engineer that there will be no interference with other users. The applicant must reimburse the city for the cost of this analysis before installation of the

A5 Williston water tower monopole

City of Minnetonka City Council Policy 12.5

Page 2 of 5

antennas. After approval by the city council, the successful applicant must sign an agreement with the city, in a form acceptable to the city attorney, that requires the application to pay a periodic fee, to obtain adequate liability insurance, and to comply with other appropriate requirements. The fees will be established by the city council after considering comparable rates in other cities, potential expenses and risks to the city, and other appropriate factors. Standards No application will be granted unless the following standards are met : • The potential use must not interfere with other users who have a higher priority. • The user must comply with minimum equipment and site standards prepared by the

city. • The user must have its own sources of electrical power and telephone service. • The user's equipment and personnel must not interfere with normal operation of the

water tower. • The user must reimburse the city for any costs that it incurs because of the user's

existence on city property. • The user must agree to pay a fee for each time it wants admittance into the tower

structure, if required by the city. • The user must be responsible for the security of its own equipment. • The user must have obtained all necessary land use approvals.

• The user must comply with the attached Guidelines for Antennas on City Water Towers.

Revocation The city council may revoke permission to use a city water tower if it determines that any one of the following situations exist:

• A potential user with a higher priority cannot find another adequate location and the

potential use would be incompatible with an existing use; • A user's antennae unreasonably interfere with other users with higher priority,

regardless of whether or not this was adequately predicted in the technical analysis; or

• A user violates any of the standards in this policy or the conditions attached to the

city's permission.

A6 Williston water tower monopole

City of Minnetonka City Council Policy 12.5

Page 3 of 5

• The city council decides to dismantle the water tower.

Before taking action, the city will provide notice to the user of the intended revocation and the reasons for it, and provide an opportunity for the user to address the city council regarding the proposed action. This procedure need not be followed in emergency situations.

Reservation of Right Notwithstanding the above, the city council reserves the right to deny, for any reason, the use of any or all city water towers by any one or all applicants.

Guidelines for Antennas on City Water Towers 1. Design plans. Drawings and specifications detailing equipment installation, cable runs, supports, penetrations, fastening methods, foundations, panels, electrical power connections, grounding, and all other required details for a complete installation must be submitted for review and approval. A drawing depicting the final appearance of the tank must also be included. A certified professional engineer in the utility's state must stamp all drawings and specifications. 2. Operation. Either by design, function, or installation, proposed equipment must not interfere with the facility's operation and its ability to deliver safe, potable water at sufficient pressure to customers. 3. Appearance. The equipment must have minimal detrimental effect on the facility's aesthetic appearance. The design must not significantly alter the appearance of the tank. The use of permanently installed false overflow pipes as cable conduits is not allowed. Wherever possible, tank cable runs must be internal to the tank's structure. No exposed exterior cable runs will be allowed without the written approval of the utility. Color for cables, antennas, and any other visible appurtenances must match the tank colors and be submitted for approval. 4. Coatings. Existing rank interior and exterior coating systems must be protected or repaired with new equivalent coating systems during the work of antenna company equipment installation. Coating repairs must be subject to approval. Existing tank coating specifications are available on request. 5. Enclosures. Proposed communication equipment to be installed at ground level outside a tank's structure must be enclosed in approved, aesthetically pleasing enclosures. All ground structures must be contained within the city owned parcel subject to planning approval. Unsupervised access into the water storage facility is not permitted. Supervised access shall be granted based on the Lease agreement. Wherever possible, a private access to the antenna company 's designated area must be provided by the antenna company. The antenna company will have unlimited access to its designated area through this access point. 6. Exclusion zone. An exclusion perimeter zone of 10 ft (minimum) beyond the outermost tank component (i.e., catwalk or widest tank diameter) must exist (outermost structure from the tank center plus 10 ft). No aboveground appurtenance is permitted within the exclusion zone without the utility's written approval. 7. Installation. All cable runs between the antenna company 's designated area and the tank must be buried. No ice bridges or other exposed (above grade) cable support systems may be installed without written approval. All cable tank penetrations must be sealed. The penetration sealing method and/or detail must be submitted for approval. The utility may request a structural analysis be performed, at antenna company expense, if the number of wall penetrations is a structural concern. No proposed

A8 Williston water tower monopole

City of Minnetonka City Council Policy 12.5

Page 5 of 5

appurtenance may interfere with the periodic maintenance of the site grounds. The antenna company must maintain the grounds inside its designated equipment area.

8. Maintenance. Presence and operation of proposed equipment must have minimalimpact on the tank's periodic maintenance work (e.g., tank inspections and painting). Antennas may be required to be out of service for a period of time during periodic tank maintenance work.

9. Safety. Any and all proposed equipment, installation work, maintenance work, or anyother work performed on the premises by the antenna company, or agents of the antenna company, must not result in any safety hazards or OSHA violations. Such hazards and violations may include, but are not limited to, ladder cage/riser clearance, toe-rung clearance, hatch interference, and vent interference.

10. Security. No antenna company property or activities, including the operation andmaintenance of antenna company equipment and appurtenances, may, in any way, impinge on the ability of the utility to provide security for its facility.

11. Regulations. The proposed communication system design must comply with allfederal, state, and local standards regulations, whether identified by the utility in its review or not. antenna company must correct any design deficiencies discovered subsequent to approval of the installation at its expense and with the approval of the utility. Communication equipment must not interfere with any utility communication or control signals. If interference between the antenna company and other communication equipment is discovered, it must be corrected at the antenna company's expense.

PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 22, 2016 MEETING MINUTES

A. Concept plan review for Williston water tower monopole.

Chair Kirk introduced the proposal and called for the staff report.

Gordon reported. Staff recommends the planning commission provide comments and feedback to assist the applicant with future direction that may lead to the preparation of more detailed development plans. Feedback on the notification area for future mailings during the formal review process is also requested.

Chair Kirk asked if it would be possible to put the antennae array below the bulb. Gordon answered that the area below the bulb was at capacity.

Chair Kirk asked if a footing would require tree removal. Gordon explained that stabilizing the tower would not cause tree loss, but two trees would have to be relocated because of the ground equipment.

Odland has no service at her house, so she would appreciate having service. She asked what health risks are associated with telecommunications towers.

Gary Lysiak, of Owl Engineering, city consultant, compared possible foundations for the monopole. He stated that:

• The health concerns are not a problem.• More towers could be added to the site. The city would not allow an

antennae on top of the water tower. The problem with Verizon’scoverage is on the other side of the water tower. The tower must betaller than the water tower.

• One more user could be added to the monopole. The city must lookat a stealth design with limited users or putting visible antennae onthe outside of the pole.

• Companies change antennae all of the time. If the use changes,wireless internet or remote meter readers could use the tower. Thetowers are gold mines because they are there, they are tall, andthey are located in residential neighborhoods.

• It would provide revenue and service for the city.• There are federal rules, local laws, and environmental factors to

consider. There are a lot of cogs in the wheel that have to mesh.• The city is in an interesting place because there is no health

problem and there is a need in service.• It would be preferable to have the antennae visible to change

providers because in six months the towers would not be noticedanymore.

A11 Williston water tower monopole

Gordon noted that the city is not interested in the crow’s nest appearance, but prefers the stealth appearance.

Mr. Lysiak stated that every time a provider changes something, then the equipment must change. The challenge is maintaining the band width.

Wischnack clarified that the existing pole would be made wider instead of adding more poles on the site. Mr. Lysiak explained that each provider needs 10 feet of separation between providers. The terrain will limit the separation.

Wischnack noted that the tower by Cub Foods is a stealth tower.

Calvert asked if there would be more visual clutter to have a crow’s nest or a forest of monopoles. Wischnack clarified that a monopole could house another provider on the 149-foot pole. Mr. Lysiak agreed. A monopole could be made modifiable.

Karen O’Brien, representing Verizon, was available for questions.

Chair Kirk obtained agreement from commissioners that the site would be appropriate for a stealth monopole in accordance with staff’s recommendation.

Resolution No. 2017-____

Resolution approving a conditional use permit for a telecommunications tower with a height variance at 4525 Williston Road

_____________________________________________________________________ Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Minnetonka, Minnesota, as follows: Section 1. Background. 1.01 Verizon Wireless has requested a conditional use permit for a

telecommunications tower and associated ground equipment to be located at 4525 Williston Road.

1.02 The property is legally described as:

Lot 2, Block 1, Tower Hill Second Addition 1.03 The proposed telecommunications tower would be 180 feet in height and

include associated ground equipment. 1.04 On May 4, 2017, the planning commission held a hearing on the request.

The applicant was provided the opportunity to present information to the planning commission. The planning commission considered all of the comments received, the staff report, and the telecommunications consultant report, all of which are incorporated by reference into this resolution. The commission recommended that the city council approve the conditional use permit.

Section 2. Standards 2.01 By 47 US Code §332(c)7, local governments have authority over the

placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities, except local government may not:

a. Unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally

equivalent services;

Resolution No. 2017-____ Page 2

b. Prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal

wireless services; and

c. Regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Federal Communication Commission's regulations concerning such emissions.

2.02 City Code 300.34 Subd.4(b) outlines the following conditional use permit

standards for telecommunications facilities within residential and commercial zoning districts:

a. Telecommunication facilities may be located only on public or

institutional property: in R-1 and R-2 residential districts and on property guided for low-density residential in the Planned I-394 District subject to the standards listed in subparagraphs b through e which follow.

b. An applicant must provide an analysis prepared by a radio or

electrical engineer demonstrating that the proposed location of the antennas is necessary to meet the coverage and capacity needs of its system and that there is no existing antenna support structure that could adequately serve the area if antennas were placed on it. The applicant must also pay the reasonable expenses of a radio or electrical engineer retained by the city, at its option, to review this analysis;

c. A telecommunications facility must use as many stealth design techniques as reasonably possible. Economic considerations alone are not justification for failing to provide stealth design techniques. The city council may require that a different location be used if it would result in less public visibility, is available, and would meet the applicant’s reasonable capacity and coverage needs; and

d. A telecommunications tower and antennas, including attachments other than lighting rods, must not exceed 75 feet in height, measured from grade. The city council may increase this height to 90 feet if the increase in height would not have a significant impact on surrounding properties because of proximity, topography or screening by trees or buildings or would accommodate two or more users. The city council may waive this height standard for a tower used wholly or partially for essential public services, such as public safety.

Resolution No. 2017-____ Page 3

e. Telecommunications facilities may be located in public right-of-way

of a major collector or arterial roadway as defined in the comprehensive plan, if they meet all of the following requirements:

1. The facility is not located within a special area designated

subdivision 7;

2. The facility is not located adjacent to residentially zoned property unless the applicant demonstrates by providing a study prepared by a radio or electrical engineer demonstrating that the proposed location of the antennas is necessary to meet the coverage and capacity needs of its system and no other location is feasible in a non-residential zone;

3. The facility must use as many stealth design techniques as reasonably possible. In particular, the antennas must be designed to minimize their size and appearance. Economic considerations alone are not justification for failing to provide stealth design techniques; and

4. The facility must also comply with the requirements in subdivision 6(k).

2.03 By City Code §300.07 Subd. 1, a variance may be granted from the

requirements of the zoning ordinance when: (1) the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this ordinance; (2) when the variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan; and (3) when the applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. Practical difficulties means: (1) The proposed use is reasonable; (2) the need for a variance is caused by circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner, and not solely based on economic considerations; and (3) the proposed use would not alter the essential character of the surrounding area.

Section 3. Findings. 3.01 The proposal meets the variance standard outlined in City Code §300.07

Subd. 1(a):

1. PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE: The R-1 District allows telecommunications facilities as a conditional use on public or institutional property guided for low-density residential.

Resolution No. 2017-____ Page 4

2. CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The comprehensive plan guides the property for low-density residential use.

3. PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES: There are practical difficulties in

complying with the ordinance:

a. REASONABLENESS:

i. The request is reasonable for the applicant to achieve reasonable telecommunications coverage. The city’s telecommunications consulting engineer determined the minimum height required to obtain reasonable coverage exceeds the 90 feet telecommunications tower standards established in city code section 300.34 subd. 4(b)(1)(d). Therefore a variance is warranted to comply with the Federal Telecommunications Act.

b. UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCE:

ii. Although the water tower would provide the necessary height for reasonable coverage, space is not available for collocation. There are no other facilities or buildings available for collocation in the required coverage area. The construction of a telecommunications tower at this location and height is unique. The city does allow tower of similar height up to 199 feet high if the applicant can demonstrate that off-site views of the tower will be minimized by the topography of the site and surrounding area, the location of the tower, the tower design, the surrounding tree cover and structures, or the use of screening.

c. CHARACTER OF LOCALITY:

iii. The request is reasonable for the applicant to achieve reasonable telecommunications coverage. The city’s telecommunications consulting engineer determined the minimum height required to obtain reasonable coverage exceeds the 90 feet telecommunications tower standards established in city code section 300.34 subd. 4(b)(1)(d). Therefore a variance is warranted to comply with the Federal Telecommunications Act. City code would allow a telecommunications tower as a conditional use permit on many properties in the immediate area.

Resolution No. 2017-____ Page 5

The presence of the water tower, commercial development, tree canopy and topographic change help reduce the visual impact of the additional tower height requested. The location of the proposed tower was determined in order to minimize potential visual impacts.

3.02 The proposal would not meet the specific conditional use permit standards as outlined in City Code §300.34 Subd.4(b): 1) Telecommunication facilities may be located only on public or institutional property: in R-1 and R-2 residential districts and on property guided for low-density residential in the Planned I-394 District subject the standards listed in subparagraphs b through e which follow. Finding: The proposed facility would be located on institutional property. 2) An applicant must provide an analysis prepared by a radio or electrical engineer demonstrating that the proposed location of the antennas is necessary to meet the coverage and capacity needs of its system and that there is no existing antenna support structure that could adequately serve the area if antennas were placed on it. The applicant must also pay the reasonable expenses of a radio or electrical engineer retained by the city, at its option, to review this analysis; Finding: The information supplied by the applicant was reviewed by the city’s telecommunications consultant. The consultant confirmed that the location and height reasonably meet the applicant’s coverage needs. 3) A telecommunications facility must use as many stealth design techniques as reasonably possible. Economic considerations alone are not justification for failing to provide stealth design techniques. The city council may require that a different location be used if it would result in less public visibility, is available, and would meet the applicant’s reasonable capacity and coverage needs; and Finding: The applicant is proposing a stealth design monopole structure. 4) A telecommunications tower and antennas, including attachments other than lightning rods, must not exceed 75 feet in height, measured from grade. The city council may increase this height to 90 feet if the increase in height would not have a significant impact on surrounding properties because of proximity, topography or screening by trees or buildings or would accommodate two or more users. The city council may waive this

height standard for a tower used wholly or partially for essential public services, such as public safety. Finding: The city’s telecommunications consultant has confirmed that the minimum height needed exceeds the city’s 90-foot height maximum. The council will need to approve a height variance in order to provide the applicant with reasonable coverage.

Section 4 Council Action. 4.01 The above-described conditional use permit is hereby approved based on

the findings of section 3 of this resolution. 4.02 The conditional use permit is approved with the following conditions:

a. This resolution must be recorded with Hennepin County.

b. The applicant shall enter into an agreement with the city that addresses the use, maintenance and ownership or leasing arrangements of the telecommunications facility.

c. If the project exceeds 50 cubic yards of excavation/fill or 5,000 square feet of land disturbing activity stormwater management will be required, and the applicant must conform to the following criteria:

1. Rate Control: limit peak runoff flow rates to that from existing

conditions for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year events for all points where stormwater leaves the site.

2. Volume Control: Provide on-site retention of 1" over the

additional impervious surface added through the project. 3. Water Quality Treatment: Provide for all runoff generated by

the additional impervious surface be treated to at least 60% annual phosphorus removal and 90% annual total suspended solid removal. Pollutant removal efficiencies can also be achieved through onsite retention/detention of the 2.5-inch event.

d. Provide an updated landscape plan to address the following:

1. The project will impact 5 honey locust and 1 hawthorn trees that

are unable to be moved. Provide $2,000 to plant and care for six new trees.

Resolution No. 2017-____ Page 7

2. Maintain the temporary access south of the cottonwood and

catalpa trees to avoid any tree damage.

3. Tree protection fencing or silt fence will be required on the west side of the stairway so the grading activity is contained and tree impacts are minimized.

4. The project must not impact the woodland area. Minimize impacts to a 29” black cherry tree on the corner of the woods, (indicated as a 15” box at the SE corner of sheet A-7 on the submitted survey).

5. The closest Ponderosa Pine tree on the east side of the water tower is about 10-feet away from the “underground electrical run”. If the electrical line is not bored underground, any surface disturbance should be kept 15-20 feet away.

e. The building must comply with all requirements of the Minnesota

state building code, fire code, and health code.

f. Submit necessary project escrows as required by the city.

g. The city council may reasonably add or revise conditions to address any future unforeseen problems.

h. The approval will expire on December 31, 2018 if a building permit has not been issued.
