CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - HENNEPIN COUNTY
320 Washington Avenue South
Proposed Action .
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: "Move approval of
Resolution No . 89-19 . approving Conditional Use Permit CUP• 89-2 to
e_onstruct a 100 foot radio tower at Hennepin Countv Public Works , 2p
Washington Avenue South . "
Approval of this motion will allow Hennepin County to construct a 100
foot self-supporting steel radio tower .
The Commission voted unanimously to approve Resolution No: 89-19 which
will allow construction of the Hennepin County tower .
Overview.
Hennepin County is requesting to erect a 100 foot self-supporting
steel radio tower at the Hennepin County site . This tower would be
located on the southeast corner of the existing building . The tower
would be used as a back-up facility and to expand certain
communication eapabilities for the Emergency Preparedness Office . The
tower will have no impact on the surrounding parcels exeept for the
visual impact .
---�
Staff is reeommending approval because the tower is needed for the
health and safety of the eitizens of Hennepin County. ts
Corky Stevenson and Harry Hillegas , representing Hennepin County ,
appeared before the Commission . Mr . Stevenson explained that the
Emergency Preparedness Office does not have an adequate back-up
communication system and this tower will provide back-up capabilities .
Mr . Hillegas stated that the tower meets Minnesota State Standards for
construction .
A resident near the tower located was concerned about TV reception .
Mr . Hillegas stated that there xould be no interference with TV
reception . '
The Commission was conc.erned if the tower would interfere with the new
police tower at City Hall . Mr. Hillegas stated that there should be
no problem with the two towers . Staff stated they would cheek with
the Police Department about the Commissions concern . Gary Therkelsen
stated that he sees no problems with the two towers at this time and
will confirm this with a memo .
Issues to Consider.
�
o Will the height of this tower have an adverse affect on the
surrounding area?

Background .
The tower is to be located at the southeast corner of the existing
building because it is adjacent to the Emergency Preparedness Office .
The tower will be located 75 feet from the property line to the east .
The ordinanee allows a maximum height for an antenna in an I-1
district of 52 feet . Ordinance 560 .01 Subd . 2 stated "heights in
excess thereof for such purposes maybe permitted only by a Conditional
Use Permit determining that such structure would not be dangerous and
would not unreasonably affect the adjoining or adjacent property . "
A similar tower was allowed at City Hall last year for the Police .
This tower is 120 feet in height .
There are no other antennas of this �height on the site presently .
A few years ago , with the big rain storm , the Emergency Preparedness
Office lost communication capabilities .
Edina has been notified of the proposed tower. I spoke with the staff
of Edina about this tower . As of the date of this report they have
not received any comments . The Park Valley residents were notified
�^ and there have been no comments from them .
- Will the height of this tower have an adverse affect on the
surrounding area?
The tower will be located on the northeast side of the property which
minimizes the sight line to the residential districts . The site is
surrounded by industrial districts to the north and west . Residential
districts are to the south and east , but the residential district to
the south is approximately 1000 feet from the proposed tower . The
closest residential area is across Co . Rd . 169 in Edina . This
residential area in Edina will have the greatest visual impact , but
even this area is over 200 feet from the tower. The sound barrier
along Co . Rd . 169 will also block some of the tower from the
residential area .
The ordinance also states that a Conditional Use Permit can be granted
if the tower will not be dangerous . If the tower fell , it would fall
either on the County property or possibly on Co . Rd . 169 . No
residential areas are close enough to be in danger if the tower should
fall .

Alternatives .
1 . Approve the Conditional Use Permit to erect the tower.
By approving the Conditional Use Permit , Hennepin County
will be able to construct the tower .
2 . Deny the Conditional Use Permit . By denying the
Conditional Use Permit , Hennepin County will not have a
baek-up facility and potentially endanger the citizens of
Hennepin County .
3 . Continue for further information . If the Commission
feels that further information is needed , the item should
be continued . '

steel radio tower at the Hennepin County site . This tower would be
located on the southeast corner of the existing building . The tower
would be used as a back-up facility and to expand certain
communication capabilities for the Emergency Preparedness Office . The
tower will have no impact on the surrounding parcels except for the
visual impact .

� health and safety of the citizens of Hennepin County .

Backsround .
The toWer is to be located at the southeast corner of the existing
building because it is ad�acent to the Emergency Preparedness Office .
The tower will be located 75 feet from the property line to the east .
The ordinance alloWs a maximum height for an antenna in an I-1
district of 52 feet . Ordinance 560 .01 Subd . 2 stated "heights in
excess thereof for such purposes maybe permitted only by a Conditional
Use Permit determining that such structure would not be dangerous and
would not unreasonably affect the adjoining or adjacent property."
A similar tower was a1loWed at City Hall last year for the Police .
This tower is 120 feet in height .
There are no other antennas of this height on the site presently .
A few years ago , with the big rain storm , the Emergency Preparedness
Office lost communication capabilities .
Edina has been notified of the proposed tower . I spoke with the staff
of Edina about this tower . As of the date of this report they have
not received any comments . The Park Valley residents were notified
^ and there have been no comments from them .
- Will the height of this tower have an adverse affect on the
surrounding area?
The tower will be located on the northeast side of the property which
minimizes the sight line to the residential districts . The site is
surrounded by industrial districts to the north and west . Residential
districts are to the south and east , but the residential district to
the south is approximately 1000 feet from the proposed tower . The
closest residential area is across Co . Rd . 169 in Edina . This
residential area in Edina will have the greatest visual impact , but
even this area is over 200 feet from the tower . The sound barrier
along Co . Rd . 169 will also block some of the tower from the
residential area .
The ordinance also states that a Conditional Use Permit can be granted
if the tower will not be dangerous . If the tower fell , it would fall
either on the County property or possibly on Co . Rd . 169 • No
residential areas are close enough to be in danger if the tower should
fall .

Alternatives .
1 . Approve the Conditional Use Permit to erect the tower.
By approving the Conditional Use Permit , Hennepin County
will be able to construct the tower.
2 . Deny the Conditional Use Permit . By denying the
� Conditional Use Permit , Hennepin County Will not have a
back-up facility and potentially endanger the citizens of
Hennepin County .
3 . Continue for further information . If the Commission
feels that further information is needed , the item should
be continued .
