SUBJ:
Site Lease Agreement with US West Wireless
Attached for the City Council's consideration is a site Lease Agreement with US
West Wireless (Attachment #1). US West Wireless is requesting to locate a 55-
foot tower at Bandimere Park (see Attachment #2 site plan). The following is a
summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed lease:
Term: Initial term - 5 years
Rent: $53,000 up front rental = ($800 per month x 5 yrs. plus 5% inflation factor)
Permitted Use: Transmission and reception ofPCS telephone and radio
communication signals.
Facility to be located on Site: 55 foot tower, antennas, and equipment or
building.
Future Co-location: Tenant shall allow co-location of antennas by other cellular
phone provides. The city would receive additional rent by other cellular phone
providers that may locate on this tower.
Renewal: The tenant has the right to extend this lease for four (4) additional 5
year terms and rent shall be increased by 12 Y, % for each renewal term,
compounded.
Improvements: 'The tenant shall, at the tenant's expense, relocate the emergency
warning siren on the tower. The tenant shall also allow the city (some time in the
future if needed) to add a light fixture to the tower for the purpose of lighting the
ball field.
Utilities: The tenant will pay all utilities and taxes if charged.
I know it is difficult approving another tower in our community, but they are
necessary as we expand our use of wireless technology (phone service, pagers,
internet, GPS, etc.) In trying to limit the number of these towers, we have asked
for future co-location of other users on the same tower.
I believe Roger has done an excellent job in negotiating a fair lease agreement.
He was also successful in getting all 5 years ,worth of rent up tront and including
the inflation factor.

The pole and equipment are being located in an area where the existing tree line can be used as a
buffer to the south and additional landscaping would be installed to screen the cabinets along the
walking path. Moving the siren to this location also reduces the noise impact on the two homes
that are located adjacent to the existing siren. Approval of the lease provides the city with a light
pole and siren platform, providing a long term benefit for the community.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Site Lease Agreement with US West Wireless, L.L.C. to locate
a 55 foot tower and cabinets/equipment at Bandimere Park.
UPDATE
Staff sent a letter and copy of the site plan to the Kiowa Trail neighborhood on July 11th for their
review and comment. As of the today's date (7-19-00), staff has not received any comments
from the neighborhood (see Attachment #3).

Dear Kiowa Trail Residents:
The Chanhassen City Council is considering entering into a Site Lease Agreement
with U.S. West Wireless to locate a 55-foot tower (monopole), antennas, and
cabinets in Bandimere Community Park to improve cellular phone coverage in
your area. This request is consistent with the City's Ordinance regulating the
installation of cellular towers in city parks (see attachment). In addition, the city
is proposing to relocate the existing weather alert siren to this tower. I have
attached a site plan indicating the proposed location of the tower and a photo of
how the tower will look upon completion.
Please review the plans and if you have any questions regarding this request,
please call me at 937-1900 ext. 119. City staff will be presenting this item to the
City Council at their July 24, 2000 meeting at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
Sincerely,
/~4~
Assistant City Manager

ARTICLE XXX. TOWERS AND ANTENNAS
Sec. 20-1500. Purpose and intent.
The purpose of this article is to accommodate and provide a reasonable opportunity for the
establishment of wireless telecommunications in the city. The city finds it necessary to adopt
Supp. No.9
1286
ZONING
§ 20-1502
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 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.
(Ord. No. 259, § 1, 11-12-96)
Sec. 20-1501. Findings.
The city 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 mainte-
nance of wireless telecommunication facilities be controlled. Further, the city finds [that]:
(1) Thwers 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.
(Ord. No. 259, § 1, 11-12-96)
.
Sec. 20-1502. Building permits.
(a) 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 article.

information to indicate that construction, installation, and maintenance of the antenna and
tower will be in compliance with applicable Uniform Building Code requirements.
(c) Permits are not required for:
(1) 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.

antennas and other attachments, shall not exceed a height of one hundred fifty (150)
feet. The city council may allow towers up to two hundred (200) feet high if the
applicant can demonstrate that, based upon the topography of the site and surround-
ing areas, antenna design, surrounding tree cover and structures and/or through the
use of screening, off-site views of the tower will be minimized.
(Ord. No. 259, § 1, 11-12-96)
Sec. 20-1504. Same-Exceptions.
The following are exceptions to the maximum height restrictions for towers:
(1) Multi-use towers designed to accommodate more than one (1) user may exceed the
height limitations of section 20-1503 by up to twenty-five (25) feet.

structure and not freestanding may be located in residential zoned districts under the
following conditions:
a. Antennas are located úpon 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, off-site views of the antenna are minimized to acceptable
, levels.
