Rick Whiting, 5780 Rosewood Lane, presented a request for a
conditional use permit for a 75`oot shortwave radio tower and
antenna at 5780 Rosewood Lane (99104) (RPUD 88-5). Mr. Whiting
stated he has been an amateur operator for 36 years and radio
use is important for emergency communications during disasters.
He has considered the comfort of his neighbors in selecting this
antenna and placement. The location was chosen because It Is
the only clear vertical route through the trees on the
property. He proposes to erect a quality antenna that would
bend only at the top 20 feet in a high wind situation, and would
extend three feet above the top of the trees. His desire Is to
keep the antenna aesthetically pleasing to the neighbors, as
well as protect the existing trees on his prnperty.
Mr. Whiting stated the neighbors lies contacted were supportive of
his request. He would he willlnti to meet liability insurance
requirements suggested hN the City ttorney.
Sohn Glynn, 5730 Rosewood strongly objected to the tower
height and antenna. He believed it would lower his property
value. Mr. Glynn asked who previously told Mr. Whiting he would
be allowed to erect a tower on the lot. Mr. Glynn stated his
views from his property will he greatly diminished dtae to the
tower height and antenna.
Donna Glynn, 5730 Rosewood Lane, stated their house is on a hill
avid was designed to take advantage of the view he low. This is
an unusual situation because the petitioner's home is at a much
lower elevation than the Glynn's, caur,inq the antenna to he In
direct view from the Glynn's home. The avttenna will extend
above the top of the trees and the Gl yni ' s view will suffer the
visual effects resulting In a lower property value.
Eric Foss, 4615 0akvlew Lane, stated he lives six hlucks south
of this area .tnd has a radio antenna which is higher than the
one proposed by Mhtting. fie lids received no complaints from his
neighbors regarding his .antenna. He urged Lite Crn!nf-1 l In also
consider fede-al rA7tel-attnns which deal with local regtvl,ation of
broadcasttnq antennae%.
Bob Grosso, S765 Rosewood Lane, spoke in favor of the .antenna is
proposed. He lives directly across the street from Mr.
Whiting and does not believe the antenv a will have d ne(lattve
affect on property values. Mr. Grosso stated the chosen
location will do the least damage to trees can the lot.
Stephen L. Serber, 4500 33rd ave'itue North, New lope, stated the
antenna will be hidden by ledVes on the trees throtvgh meich of
the year. He has .a tower at his home and It has done nothinq to
adjacent property Values.

3anice Blake, 5720 Rosewood Lane, appeared in opposition to the
request and presented a letter opposing the request from
Elizabeth Dupay, 5740 Rosewood Lane. Ms. Blake stated that the
antenna would affect the resale of her home and the beauty of
her lot.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Vdsiltou, seconded by
Counclimember Helltwel1, to deny the request of Richard Whiting
for a conditional use permit for a radio antenna at 5780
Rosewood Lane (89104).
Councllmember Vasiltou stated this location cannot be compared
with other antenna Installations. %ts is a unique situation
because the lots adjacent to the petitioner are at a much hiaher
elevation, thereby directly affecting the view. Councilmember
Vasillou also expressed concern about the fall zoote because the
proposed tower exceeds the distance from the tower to the
applicant's property line, and the tower could fall onto
adjoining lots. She also stated that Mr. Whiting's hobby is not
a necessary component for this neighborhood and res:.;enttal
enjoyment and use of property should be primary.
Councllmember 11tur stated he had visited the site and esked
Mr. Welting if the antenna could be a color other than sill. t%
He stated concern with the fill zone.
Mr. Whiting said the antenna is only manufactured in aluminum;
however, he could paint it a natural brown color.
Councilmember Ricker stated there is a neighborhood Issue here
that could perhaps be mediated among the neighbors. He
suggested the use of West Suburban Mediation Services.
subsltrurt MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded by
Councilmember titur, to defer action on the conditional %ise
permit request of Ric tard Whiting (99104) and to refer the tsrue
to the neighborhood for discussion, mediation, and possit.le
resolutf sn.
Councilmember Vasillou asked if the neighbors were willing Lo do
that.
Mrs. Glynn stated there would be little value In such a meeting.
Attorney Thomson stated that the federal regulations
antennas do not preempt the City from requlatinq
factors. He stated that it is also valid that the
consider whether the tower IoCatto 1 will Interfere with
from adjacent properties.

The Council revieweJ the proposed
Improvements Program.
1990 - 1994 Capital
Director Wore reported that the Metropolitan Council approved
an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan revising the Urban
Service Area as comprehended by the 1980 Staged Development
Plan.
Director Moore explained that the proposed Capital Improvement
Preigram does not provide for the extension of streets or
utilities within Sanitary Sewer Districts NW -17 and NW -19 (north
of County Road 9 and west of Vicksburg Lane) during the five
year program. Following City Council approval of the Capital
Improvements Program, engineering consultants will be directed
to prepare Preliminary Engineering Report-. for those projects
planned for 1990 construction.
Roman Roos, Rome Corporation, requested that the Council
consider extension of utilities westerly on Penny Lane to
service an approximate 35 -acre parcel immediately outside the
Staged Development Plan area.
Director Moore responded that the action requested by Mr. Roos
may create an overabundance of land available for development
and may lead to additional requests. He stated it is possible
that more properties, specifically farmland, could become tax
delinquent when the improvement assessments are levied.
Councilmember Ricker noted that there would also be financial
IMplirations beca4ise the City would expend dollars initially for
the improvements.
Councilmember Helliwell suggested that the Council hold a study
session to discuss the Capital Improvements Program in more
detail.
The Council deferred this Item to a Study Session at 1;00 p.m.
on January 22,
Counriimember Vasiliou requested that prior to that meeting, the
Park Director meet with representatives of the four school
districts regarding the baseball/soccer field questions raised
at the December 18 meeting.
Terry Forbord, Lundgren Brothers Construction, urged the Council
Lo take action on the Capital Improvements Program as soon AS
possible.

Item 10-A
Regular Council Meeting
January 2, 1990
Page 10;
Director Moore stated that the state law regarding solid waste
disposal adopted several years ago established that after
3d nuary 1, 1990, no yard waste could go into a landfill or solid
waste processing faclllty. Hennepin County then adopted an
ordinance requiring cities to initiate a recycling program. If
a city did not comply, the County would Initiate a program and
charge the cost of the program to the city.
The ordinance also provides that It is the County's
responsibility to establish a composting program for yard
waste. The County has had problems establishing a r.ompostlnq
site and, therefore, are considering passing this responsthility
onto each city. Director Moore stated It is staff's position
that this responsibility is that of Hennepin County. He stated
that more Information should be available by the Council's next
meeting and a report will be presented at that time.
The Council discussed the ordinance regarding insurab ce coverage
for councllmembers.
Mayor Bergman shared citizen concerns that if a councilmember
chooses not to be covered under the City's Insurance, s/he would
be paid the amount of the City's normal contribution. Mayor
Bergman also stated the normal practice in private business is
to pay coverage only for the tndlvidtial employee, not their
is family.
Councilmember Helliwell agreed that councilmembers electing not
to carry the City's insi rance should not receive a like amount
In cash.
Councilmember Ricker stated that he w-)uld not be In favor of any
councilmember receiving money In lieu of the Insurance
contribution; however, if a Councllmember is covered tinder
another Insurance policy, they should he allowed to have the
City pay a like amount of the premium. Fie suggested that such a
payment be made directly from the City's Finance Department to
the lnselrdnee company, rather than through the councilmember.
Manayer Willis respunded to a question by CouneIImember
Vaslltou. He stated that previous counctlmemhers electinq to
continue insurance coverage, must pay the total premium with no
City contribution. Stdte law provides that all former employee's
may retain insurance coveraye for 19 months after they lr,,1ve
city service.
