CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
ORDINANCE NO.259
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20 OF THE
CHANHASSEN CITY CODE PERTAINING TO TOWERS AND ANTENNAS
The City Council of the City of Chanhassen ordains:
Section 1. Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code is amended by adding Article XXX
to read:
ARTICLE XXX. TOWERS AND ANTENNAS
Sec. 20-1500. Purpose and Intent.
The purpose of this ordinance is to accommodate and provide a reasonable opportunity
for the establishment of wireless telecommunications in the City. The City finds it necessary to
adopt standards and regulations that promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, while
minimizing the possible adverse effects of towers and antennas on nearby property. The Council
IS finds that these regulations are necessary to:
(1) Establish standards which permit a reasonable and equitable opportunity for the
establishment of wireless telecommunication services in the City;
(2) Ensure that towers and antennas are designed, constructed, installed, and maintained in a
manner that does not adversely impact public safety;
(3) Maximize the use of existing and approved towers and buildings to accommodate new
wireless telecommunication antennas in order to reduce the number of towers needed to serve
the community, and;
(4) Minimize adverse visual effects of towers through careful design and siting standards which
attempt to screen and/or camouflage towers and antennas from adjacent public and private
property.
Sec.20-1501. Findings.
The City of Chanhassen finds it necessary for the promotion and preservation of the
public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics of the community that the construction, location,
size, and maintenance of wireless telecommunication facilities be controlled. Further, the City
finds:
0
(1) Towers and antennas have a direct impact on, and a relationship to, the image of the
• community;
(2) The manner of installation, location, and maintenance of towers and antennas affects the
public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics of the community;
(3) A reasonable opportunity for the establishment of wireless telecommunication must be
provided to serve residential and business needs, and;
(4) Uncontrolled and unlimited towers and antennas adversely impact the image and aesthetics of
the community and, thereby, undermine economic value and growth.
Sec. 20-1502. Building Permits.
(1) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to erect, construct, replace, re -erect,
or repair any tower without first making application for and securing a building permit as
provided in this Title.
(2) The applicant shall provide at the time of application for a building permit sufficient
information to indicate that construction, installation, and maintenance of the antenna and
tower will be in compliance with applicable Uniform Building Code requirements.
(3) Permits are not required for:
a. Adjustment or replacement of the elements of an antenna array affixed to a tower or
antenna, provided that replacement does not reduce the safety factor.
b. Antennas and/or towers erected temporarily for test purposes, for emergency
communication, or for broadcast remote pick-up operations, provided that the
antennas or towers are not located on public right-of-way, and towers are protected
against unauthorized climbing. Temporary antennas used for test purposes or
broadcast remote pick-up operations shall be removed within 72 hours following
installation.
Sec. 20-1503. Height Restrictions
(1) Height Determination. The height of towers shall be determined by measuring the vertical
distance from the tower's point of contact with the ground to the highest point of the tower,
including all antennas or other attachments.
(2) Except as provided in the following paragraph of this Section, maximum heights for towers
are as follows:
a. In all residential zoned property the maximum height of any tower, including all antennas
• and other attachments, shall be eighty (80) feet.
2
• b. In all non-residential zoning districts, the maximum height of any tower, including all
antennas and other attachments, shall not exceed a height of 150 feet. The City Council
may allow towers up to 200 feet high if the applicant can demonstrate that based upon the
topography of the site and surrounding areas, antenna design, surrounding tree cover and
structures and/or through the use of screening, that off -site views of the tower will be
minimized.
Sec. 20-1504. Exceptions To Height Restrictions.
The following are exceptions to the maximum height restrictions for towers:
(1) Multi -Use Towers designed to accommodate more than one user may exceed the height
limitations of this Section by up to twenty-five (25) feet.
(2) Antenna devices over eighty (80) feet in height which are attached to an existing structure
and not freestanding may be located in residential zoned districts under the following
conditions:
a. antennas are located upon existing or proposed structures allowed as principal or
conditional uses in the underlying zoning district and/or upon public structures;
• b. antennas are limited to a height of fifteen (15) feet projecting above the structure.
The City Council may permit antenna heights of up to twenty-five (25) feet above the
structure if the applicant can demonstrate that by a combination of antenna design,
positioning of the structure and/or by screening erected or already in place on the
property, that off -site views of the antenna are minimized to acceptable levels.
•
Sec.20-1505. Setbacks.
Towers shall conform with each of the minimum setback requirements:
(1) Towers shall meet the setbacks of the underlying zoning district with the exception of
industrial and business zoned districts, where the tower may encroach into the rear setback

and the tower does not encroach upon any easements.
(2) Towers shall maintain a minimum setback of ten (10) feet from all property lines.
(3) For sites that are adjacent to parcels developed, guided, or zoned for residential use, setbacks
shall be equal to the height of the tower.
(4) Towers shall be set back from all planned public rights of way by a minimum distance equal
to one half of the height of the tower including all antennas and attachments.
3
(5) Towers shall not be located between a principal structure and a public street.
• (6) A tower's setback may be reduced or its location in relation to a public street varied, at the
sole discretion of the City Council, to allow the integration of a tower into an existing or
proposed structure, such as a church steeple, light pole, power line support device, or similar
structure.
(7) No tower, antenna, or accessory structure shall be located in a wetland or within the wetland
setback.
(8) In a residential district, the required setback from a property line for antennas and towers not
rigidly attached to a building or structure, shall be equal to the height of the antenna and
tower. Those antennas and towers rigidly attached to a building or structure, and whose base
is on the ground, may reduce the required setback by the amount equal to the distance from
the point of attachment to the ground.
Sec. 20-1506. Towers In Residentially Zoned Districts.

the proposed tower cannot be accommodated on an existing or approved tower or building
• within a one mile search radius (one-half mile search radius for towers under 120 feet in
height, towers under eighty (80) feet are exempt from this requirement) of the proposed tower
due to one or more of the following reasons:
a. The planned equipment would exceed the structural capacity of the existing or
approved tower or building as documented by a qualified and licensed professional
engineer, and the existing or approved tower cannot be reinforced, modified, or
replaced to accommodate planned or equivalent equipment at a reasonable cost.
b. The planned equipment would cause interference materially impacting the usability of
other existing or planned equipment at the tower or building as documented by a
qualified and licensed professional engineer and interference cannot be prevented at a
reasonable cost.
c. Existing or approved towers and buildings within the search radius cannot
accommodate the planned equipment at a height necessary to function reasonably as
documented by a qualified and licensed professional engineer.
d. Other unforeseen reasons that make it unfeasible to locate the planned
• telecommunications equipment upon an existing or approved tower or building.

All utility buildings and structures accessory to a tower may not exceed one story in
height and four hundred (400) square feet in size and shall be architecturally designed to blend in
with the surrounding environment and meet the minimum setback requirements of the underlying
zoning district. The use of compatible materials such as wood, brick, or stucco is required for
associated support buildings. Equipment located on the roof of an existing building shall be
screened from the public view with building materials identical to or compatible to existing
materials. In no case shall wooden fencing be used as a rooftop equipment screen.
Sec.20-1514. Landscaping.
Ground mounted equipment shall be screened from view by suitable vegetation, except
where a design of non -vegetative screening better reflects and compliments the architectural
character of the surrounding area. Removal of existing shrubs and trees shall be minimized
