PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing a 135 foot tall cellular communication galvanized finish, monopole
design tower with nine directional antennas (APT) and twelve (12) directional antennas (U.S. West
New Vector). A ten foot lighting rod extends above the tower. The applicant is proposing the lease
of a 70 foot by 30 foot area of the site. Within this area, a 66 foot by 28 foot fenced enclosure is
being proposed. The applicant is proposing an eight foot fence, which is permitted within industrial
districts. Within the fenced enclosure is the tower and a bridge structure with five foot by three foot
by three foot equipment cabinets on top and a 20 foot by 30 foot prefabricated equipment building
which has an aggregate, neutral finish. The applicant proposes to use an all weather gravel surface
within the enclosure.
There is a water tower on Dell Road and Twilight Lane. The City of Eden Prairie will permit up to
4 leases on the tower with the commitment that the city of Chanhassen not put any towers adjacent
to their city. Even if the APT tower were to be located on the Eden Prairie tower, the U.S. West
NewVector would not be able to locate there because of their requirements for the tower (too high).
Due to the low building heights in the city, and especially along Highway 5, there are minimal
opportunities to locate antennas on existing buildings. It is staff's opinion that additional towers
will be requested and we could not in good faith make a commitment to no towers adjacent to their
city.
The site for the proposed telecommunications tower is currently covered by an existing mix of
deciduous trees. The elevation of Quattro Drive at the entrance to the site is approximately 920
elevation. The parking lot elevation west of the building is approximately 930 feet. The location
of the proposed tower is at approximately 934 elevation. The railroad tracks north of the site are
at approximately 938 elevation. The house pad directly north of the site is at approximate 950
elevation. The single family homes to the north rise above the site, looking over the railroad
tracks. During the winter months, the site is highly visible form the properties to the north. The
tower shall be minimally visible from Highway 5.
According to ordinance, screening is required for the base equipment and the tower must be
designed to blend in with the surrounding area. North and west of the tower location, existing
vegetation shall screen the site. The applicant is proposing the planting of 14 service berry
shrubs on the north, east and south sides of the enclosure. At maturity, the shrubs should fill in
to help screen the base equipment.
Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit/site plan for the wireless
telecommunication tower subject to conditions. Most importantly, staff is requiring that this tower
be designed and constructed to permit the co- location of another user on the tower.

BACKGROUND
In November 1996, the City of Chanhassen adopted Ordinance 259 pertaining to towers and
antennas. This ordinance provided criteria for the design and location of wireless
telecommunication facilities in the city.
The city has been advised by wireless telecommunication companies that this area of the city is a
dead zone for current service users. Part of the impetus for revision of the tower and antenna
ordinance was this dead zone for wireless telecommunication.
The city recently reviewed applications for a conditional use permits for a wireless communication
tower on property along Highway 5. In order to minimize the proliferation of these towers in the
city, the ordinance has a co- location requirement as part of the design and approval of these
facilities. As a condition of approval for this tower, staff is recommending that the applicant
commit to allow for the shared use of the tower.
The City Council reviewed both applications for conditional uses for the telecommunication towers
at 78 and 80 West 78 Street. The Council tabled the items to permit the applicants to present a
joint application at the site at 7660 Quattro Drive.
The City Council reviewed the APT proposed development at their February 24, 1997. They tabled
the item to permit the application for the U. S. West NewVector Group to be reviewed at the same
time and to determine if either was a preferable site. In addition, the City Council wanted the
applicant to continue to investigate additional sites for locating the tower.
The City Council reviewed the proposed development at 80 West 80 Street at their February 10,
1997 meeting. The Council tabled the item, requesting that the applicant provide additional
documentation regarding the search for a tower site. Specifically, the applicant was to address the
feasibility of locating the tower on properties to the east of the proposed site, including the water
tower in Eden Prairie.
FINDINGS
When approving a conditional use permit, the city must determine the capability of a proposed
development with existing and proposed uses. The general issuance standards of the conditional
use Section 20 -232, include the following 12 items:

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REOUEST AND SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A 135 FT. TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER TO BE LOCATED AT 80
WEST 78 STREET. AMERICAN PORTABLE TELECOM.
Roger Knutson: Mayor? If I could briefly address this issue.
Mayor Mancino: Okay. Why don't we hold on one minute until people get situated.
Roger Knutson: Mayor, members of the Council. Just a few minutes ago I had the opportunity to discuss
this matter with the applicant's attorney, Mr. Coyle, and the applicant has indicated some interest in
pursuing a site which has become known as the Quattro site for their tower. But they're willing to do
this, and continue this matter tonight I believe if the Council would accommodate them by requesting a
special Planning Commission meeting so that that Planning Commission could consider this new site.
The Planning Commission could consider this new site in advance of your next City Council meeting to
17
City Council Meeting - March 10, 1997
kind of expedite the review of this in consideration of the fact that they've been working on this for some
months now and this new site had just come up. If that's the case, I think if the Council would direct the
Planning Commission to hold a special meeting, after notice can be given, as required, and so that can be
done before this meeting. Is that correct Mr. Coyle?
Mayor Mancino: Okay. First of all we need to make a motion to do that.
Roger Knutson: Yes.
Mayor Mancino: Okay. Secondly, do you want to make any comment publicly?
Peter Coyle: Madam Mayor, members of the Council.
Mayor Mancino: As long as it's not too long.
Peter Coyle: It won't be any longer than it's taken to get to this point, I assure you of that.
Mayor Mancino: Oh no. We could be here for a while.
Peter Coyle: Mr. Knutson I think has accurately stated the condition. The concern for us is that, as he's
indicated, we've been at this process for quite some time and we've really, I think cooperated as much as
we could with your staff.
Mayor Mancino: You have.
Peter Coyle: And our fear is that if we follow the Council's lead at this point, and we are willing to do
that, we not get roped up in a second round process where we find ourselves two months hence, having
picked new fights with somebody else that we don't know about as we sit here tonight. And so all I'm
looking for is a little bit of, not commitment by any means, but comfort if you will, that the process we're
going to embark on is one that will allow us to be back here in two weeks with the ability to try to get
some final action so we can get about the business of building this tower and building our business. And
with that we would be pleased to have our application, or pending application laid aside and recrafted for
purposes of this alternative site and we'll work with your staff on anticipation of that Planning
Commission meeting.
Mayor Mancino: Okay. I'm sure we can accommodate you. Thank you. Actually we have the Planning
Commission Chair here who can help us with that. So we'd like to move to continue and have this
reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to our March 24 h City Council meeting. And that could take
place from 6:00 to 6:30. May I have a motion for continuation. Unless there are comments from Council
members.
Councilman Senn: Just a quick one. I mean basically, to respond just a little bit to his request. I mean
you know, if you want kind of an opinion poll, I mean I'd still love to see the water tower. Quattro's
definitely the next in the line as far as favored sites from my standpoint, so I would be very amenable to
short cutting this to accomplish either one of those. I'm not preferable to the other two that have been
suggested thus far. I don't know if everybody shares in that or not but I think, if that gives you the
feeling you're looking for. I would move to continue this with the consent of the applicant and to ask
the Planning Commission to schedule a special meeting prior to our next Council meeting so this item
can be acted upon and closed out at that meeting.
18
City Council Meeting - March 10, 1997
Councilman Mason: I will second that
Mayor Mancino: Thank you.
Councilman Senn moved, Councilman Mason seconded to table, with the applicant's consent, the

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REOUEST AND SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A CELLULAR
COMMUNICATIONS TOWER AT 78 WEST 79 STREET. U.S. WEST NEW VECTOR
GROUP. INC.
Roger Knutson: Mayor, first I have to ask the question. Is the same arrangement acceptable to your
client sir?
Jay Littlejohn: Well I'd also like to make a few comments
Roger Knutson: Certainly.
Jay Littlejohn: My name's John Littlejohn. I represent Airtouch Cellular. U.S. West New Vector
Group, Inc. It's 78 West 78` Street by the way. I just learned about this out in the hallway from Mr.
Coyle 45 minutes ago, or maybe an hour ago and we don't have enough facts to know whether we could
go there or not at this point. We, as I said, with the site that was at 80 West 78"' Street. The one where
the APT had that was up the way, as long as it will work for us, we would go on their site. The only
problem that we have is that we would again ask that the approval of that site, since it's the intention of
staff, and probably of the City, to make sure there are two users on that site, that a condition be imposed
that a lease be entered into that involves equal cost sharing between the parties, and I don't care who the
base landlord is or if we're joint tenants. It doesn't matter. It's so we're talking about the condition for
approval, whether it be our condition or APT's condition. An actual lease in place allowing both users to
be on the site, because we don't, as long as it tests right, and this is a little bit further west, or a little bit
further east, but what I... and I'm not an engineer and don't have any testing equipment but it looks like
it may well work so we are in favor of it, but we want to make sure that we can actually go there and that
we're not going to be racked over the coals as...
Mayor Mancino: And can you do that prior to the next City Council meeting?
Jay Littlejohn: Complete our analysis of the site? Yes. We don't know who owns the site. I mean I
need to get a title report and environmentals done and all those kind of due diligence that we would do
before we require the site that I'm sure that APT could just turn over to us, depending on where they are
in their negotiations. But as long as one of the conditions is, the City has found a site for us. I don't
understand this personally because I have a list of sites that we went to and they said no to us and yes to
you, so. But then again, so did Eden Prairie. Do you want to join our team?
Mayor Mancino: Let me tell you know it's done.
Jay Littlejohn: ...site in this city, I certainly will rely more on the Council's assistance because that's
been very helpful but if we can go forward on that assumption, then I wouldn't have any objection to
having our item tabled as well under the same conditions.

City Council Meeting - March 10, 1997
Mayor Mancino: Okay, thank you very much. Then may I have a motion please?
Councilman Senn: How about if I just ditto the first motion?
Mayor Mancino: Okay. What was that ditto again? That motion?
Councilman Senn: You just want to see if I can repeat it don't you?
Mayor Mancino: Exactly. Word for word.
Councilman Senn: Oh boy. I'll move to continue this matter with the consent of the applicant to the next
City Council meeting and ask the Planning Commission to schedule a special meeting prior to that
Council meeting so that at the next Council meeting we can have all the decisions made in relationship to
permanent sites for these people. How's that?
Mayor Mancino: Very nice. And a second?
Councilman Engel: Second.
Mayor Mancino: And you also stated that our first preference would be Eden Prairie water tower.
Councilman Engel: I had one question. Is there a problem with the 76 foot tower going on the water
tower or not?
Mayor Mancino: I don't think anybody knows that at this point.
Jay Littlejohn: We can't go on the water tower.
Councilman Engel: Okay, that is. So we do know that? Then we know where we're at. We need a dual
use tower on Quattro.
Jay Littlejohn: We can go on a...
Mayor Mancino: We've got a motion and a second. Thank you Mark for clarifying that.
Councilman Senn moved, Councilman Engel seconded to table action, with the applicant's consent,
on the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review for a Cellular Communications Tower at 78
West 78` Street. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Councilman Senn: Madam Mayor, could we maybe take a 5 minute break?
Mayor Mancino: Yes. At this point it's 10 till 9:00. Actually I was going to assess where we were at
this point to see if we would be able to cover the rest of the agenda items. Not know how long it would
take. And I don't think that we will have a problem. We were concerned about making decisions in the
wee hours but I think we'll be fine so that those of you that are here that are on the agenda for the
remaining second half of this City Council meeting, we'll get to your item. We'll take a 5 minute break
and see you back at about 4 till 9:00. Thank you.
