LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATE. Mayor Furlong: Good evening Lieutenant. Lt. Jeff Enevold: Mr. Mayor, council, good evening. Quick update here for you tonight. And the first slide is on an update on our prescription drug take back program. Oh, was this supposed to work? Okay. Alright. Our citizens can now anonymously drop off their unwanted medications during business hours. We announced this on February 4d' and on February 12'h it was full and we had to empty it so. It's located in the Public Safety Inspections building in the outer lobby. I just checked it before I came down here and it's full again so on the short time it's been available it's been very successful for us and it provides a needed service to our community so glad we got that up here. Quick burglary update. You may have noticed in the monthly report that compared to January 2012 and January 13d' there's a pretty big increase in burglaries. It went from 2 to 10 and here's the reason why. On February 3rd Eden Prairie Police arrested 41 year old Brian Williams who is believed to be responsible for over 60 burglaries in the area. 8 of them in the city of Chanhassen. Hence 2 to 10. There's the 8 that we've seen so. Our crime techs were able to lift and photograph 3 different shoe prints from the crime scenes that matched shoes that were taken from his hotel room so because of the great police work that was done by the responding deputies to identify and preserve the shoe prints, our crime techs were able to come into the scene and photograph and lift them as evidence and that's really what allowed us to link Mr. Williams to the crime scenes here in the city of Chanhassen. He is currently charged with burglary, fleeing police and possessing burglary tools so job well done by the crime techs and our deputies who responded to the scene. Last one I have is 1 wanted to introduce a new Sergeant who's working up here. Sergeant George Pufahl. He came to us from the city of Waconia and I'll let him tell you a little bit about his education, experience and introduce himself. George. Sgt. George Pufahl: Hi Mr. Mayor, council. Mayor Furlong: Good evening. Sgt. George Pufahl: I'm George Pufahl. I'm a Sergeant with the patrol division. I've been a sergeant for just over a year now so. I've been with the Carver County Sheriff's Office for about 13 years. Started off as a reserve officer and part time officer. I've been full time for -just over 10 years now. A lot of my career has been working dog watch patrol on the west end of the county. Have worked as a detective for the sheriff's office. I've worked undercover narcotics for the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force. Been a field training officer, range instructor and I'm currently also assigned to the Southwest, or assigned to the Tri City SWAT Team. I've been a SWAT team member for the last 8 years so, and you know there's a little bit of arm wrestling that went on and Susan Arntz was having a difficult time letting me go and so I'm glad to be here in Chanhassen and work with you folks and work with the City and give the same service that I was giving to the City of Waconia previous so that's me. Mayor Furlong: Excellent Sergeant, thank you and welcome ►3-as Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 Park and Recreation: 1.

PUBLIC HEARING: UTILITY METER READER POLE: REOUEST FOR A CONDMONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE PLAN TO INTALL A 60 FOOT TALL STEEL UTILITY METER READER POLE ON PROPERTY ZONED OFFICE AND INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT (01) AND LOCATED AT 6400 M 'iNEWASHTA PARKWAY (CHANHASSEN FIRE STATION #2) AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MINNEWASHTA PARKWAY AND TH 7. PLANNING CASE 2013-05. Aanenson: This item is actually, the City's the applicant on this application. It's a request for a Conditional Use and a site plan review to allow for a 60 foot tower with a 10 foot antenna on top of that for a utility meter reader. This application is a part of a request by the City to put at the fire station this tower. And the fire station that we're looking at is on Highway 7 and Minnewashta Parkway, so that's the subject site. A little bit of background on this. We did a radius search, they did some engineering on this kind of looking at where we needed to, it's called a propagation study where we needed to have the meters in order to get coverage of the city and if I may 111just go, oops. Talk a little bit more about the actual why we're doing the water meter and the City Council approved a contract to replace the City's water meters. Right now how they're being read is they're actually, you have a vehicle that drives around and picks up all the radio feeds and in looking at the equipment that we had and trying to replace those as the batteries have expired, they actually chose to go with a different system after a cost benefit so that now requires these antennas to be placed throughout the city. So I'll go through a little bit more detail but a majority of them are on water towers throughout the city. There's 6 other sites. The two sites that will actually be on other features. There's one at Bandimere Park which is on, there's a siren on already so this is just an appendix to that but this is now the only free standing one again based on that propagation study where this needs to go so looking at elevations and public properties that it could go on, this appeared to be the best site for that so again the City does have the ability with the conditional use to follow through the criteria in the office institutional zoning district which the subject site is zoned to place it if it finds the conditions necessary in the staff report based on the fact that looked at the land use. The use by the City. What the purpose is and reasonableness. The City felt that it met that criteria so where it's being placed is behind the parking lot. You can see the star on the slide there at the end of the parking lot so there's no vegetation there. There is no screening. There is minimal equipment but that is actually going inside the fire station itself so then really what it comes down to is the visual impact so with that the engineering department took some slides from different positions and it's kind of hard to see but I'll try to do my best here to show you where you can see the actual antennas. So if you're looking at the parking lot where it's sitting so in Pipewood Curve it's very hard to see back there. You can see one here on Meadow Lane. Site 3. Site 4, you're coming westbound on Highway 7 and you can kind of see that off. Oops, actually over on this site in the distance. From the lift station, number 3 looking across. Again now what's sitting over there is actually a bucket ladder so it's actually physically, it's got the height correct but actually the bucket itself is quite a bit bigger. So this is actually if you go down then to the fire station itself where you would see, what you would see going down Minnewashta Parkway. The SCANNED Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 monopole quite a bit smaller. It's actually 1 foot in diameter so it's quite a bit narrower. And then when you get to some of the neighbors across the street on Landings Court, a little bit less visual impact when you get over there to see that. I did hand out from you, there was some letters from some of the neighbors that were concerned about the impact of that and wanted to share that with you regarding some health risk impacts. Included on the City's website are, is some information regarding that electromagnetic field. Again this is being read right now via the same method as now there's a tower and just to make, not to make it too complex, how this works is at night it just, there's a frequency that goes out once a day at night and has a very short duration to get that read and bring it back. It's not a constant read so there's also additional information on the City's website under the home page under what's new. There's an engineering site there that talks about, you can go into and learn a little bit more about the questions you may. Any of our residents may have on electromagnetic field. So with that, a little bit more close up on the visual impacts. You can see a little bit closer here. There's the one on Highway 7 coming quite a distance away. Again less visual impact when you're on the landing side and again the one foot in diameter on the, by the fire station there. So with that we put the findings for the conditional use in there. We do believe it meets the intent of the city's ordinance. Again because we didn't have another apparatus that we could have used there that met the height requirements for the propagation study, we had to put the monopole in so we believe that it meets the intent of the findings of the conditional use so with that we are recommending approval of the conditional use. It is also approval of the site plan. We left it, we didn't color paint it. Sometimes those are maintenance issues. Kind of leave it, trying to blend in and actually there's a lot of different type of vegetation so trying to paint it blue might not have been the best so leaving that with a site plan. Again the rest of the equipment's inside the fire station itself so a conditional use and a site plan so again with the attached Findings of Fact we are recommending approval for this to go to the City Council. So with that I'd be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Aller. Am I wrong in assuming that the reason the City Council went with this new program is that it would be not only more cost efficient but EMF efficient. I mean the whole process is more efficient. Aanenson: That's correct. It's, the battery life is longer and then it's also more efficient as opposed to having a vehicle going around. Having the stationary sites so it's double efficient, yeah. Thomas: I guess I have a question. Are we planning on putting in more within the city as we you know, more of these as we go to be able to net the whole city? Fauske: As I think Kate had indicated, touch on, that the other areas of the city where this would be required they're able to put it on existing equipment like a siren or a water tower and it was just in this particular area of the city they didn't have anything that was high enough to get above that tree canopy. Thomas: Sure. I guess what I'm saying is we've got these in other locations. Fauske: Yes. Thomas: Around the city. This is not the only spot. Aanenson: Right. Thomas: And it's also not the only, we've got other ones currently out there is what I'm getting at, right? Hokkanen: This is the only free standing one. Thomas: This is the only free standing one? Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 Aanenson: That's correct. Fauske: Correct. Thomas: But we have other ones that are attached to things and are currently submitting so we can get the entire city. Fauske: Yes. Thank you, yes. Thomas: Okay. Aanenson: And as we move south, as population increases and if we have other infrastructure, we will take it into consideration when we provide, there'll be additional water towers as we move south of Lyman Boulevard, Pioneer Trail so we'll look at, if there's a coverage area based on that propagation study that we need to based on certain elevations, we'll try to accommodate that on an existing facility, which is always our first choice too. Alter: How long have we had the other towers operating? The ones that are on the sirens. Fauske: Just recently. Council approved the radio reads, I believe it was fall last year. I don't know if that was included. Aanenson: Yep, September of last year. Fauske: Okay, thank you. September of last year so they're now just starting to implement it and as they started looking at the implementation plan they identified this site as need for an independent structure. Alter: And as of yet we haven't received any public comment, which was adverse or receive adverse reactions from the operation of those. Fauske: Not that I'm aware of but I could certainly follow up on that if the commission would like. Alter: I just want to give due deference to the concern that's been expressed by the people that have contacted us about the EMF. Aanenson: Yeah, and again there is information on that on the City's website. About the level and so I think if we can direct anybody that's interested in that information to the City's website, it gives you a little bit about the frequency and the amount. Hokkanen: Is it clear on the website Kate that it only does it once per day? Per night. Aanenson: Yes. Hokkanen: It's not a constant, I mean I apologize. I didn't look at it. I didn't have time but. Aanenson: That's alright. I'll just quickly look at it. There's a couple of questions regarding that, will interfere with anything that you may have as a personal, any other device you may have. Cell phone and it says that the transmitting device operates in a licensed band in compliance with the FCC regulations as such. Thank you. As such the devices are for local territory so no other radio technology devices operate in the same frequency so it shouldn't interfere. And then the other one about the associated risks, so with RF, again this is very low, even less than similar bands so like a television. This discussion came up too Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 when we did the National Weather Service regarding use of the gamma rays and how the frequency and duration of that sort of thing so again we're reading right now by radio frequency so it's not a new technology how we read. We'rejust putting them stationary as opposed to a vehicle driving around and so again the City's home page has a lot of those things on there too and if anybody has more questions on that I'm sure our City Engineer would be happy to talk to somebody about that too. Alter: But otherwise it would have to comply with and does comply with the normal tower requirements? Aanenson: Yes, and then the radio frequency stuff too also has to be in FCC compliance too so. Alter: I don't have any further questions. Anyone? Alright, I'm going to open up the public hearing portion of this meeting. Anyone wishing to come forward, speak for or against. Please state your name and address for the record sir. Bill Cook: Yep. My name is Bill Cook. I live on Landings Drive. 3748 so in the neighborhood where this is going and I just found out about it today so I haven't done a lot of research. One of my neighbors sent me an email. I think he sent an email. Aanenson: Yep, I passed it out Bill Cook: Okay. I think our concern is that, not against the technology because I'm not a luddite. I embrace technology but just in terms of this one is different than the other ones as I understand it. It's not on a water tower. It's essentially at ground level in our neighborhood and we're concerned about you know the health, possible health impacts of that and I know as you mentioned there's stuff on the City's website but as you saw with my neighbor, there are a lot of other, there's another view on that in terms of these transmissions so this isn't up in the air. It's essentially in our neighborhood. Alter: I think my understanding is that the reason for the tower, what we're doing is we're, with the request here would be to put in a tower to put it up. Bill Cook: Yeah I understand but that's 60 feet. That's 5 stories. That's not a water tower Alter: What's the difference? I think they're equivalent. Bill Cook: Well there's elevation of the houses in our neighborhood as well so. Alter: Oh okay, I got you. Alright. Have we looked at the impact of that or? Fauske: I'm sorry, could you clarify the question? I don't know that question. Bill Cook: I understand all, if I understand correctly, the rest of these are on water towers. Aanenson: No, there's one other one that's on a monopole that's in a park. Bandimere Park in a residential area. Bill Cook: So this is the only one in the neighborhood that's essentially not on a water tower closer to ground level? Fauske: It's a stand alone, the Bandimere Park one is on an emergency siren so it'd be of a similar height, yes. Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 Bill Cook: But this is in a neighborhood. Fauske: Yes, and there are water towers in neighborhoods too. Downtown Chanhassen has a water tower. Bill Cook: Okay it's, from my house it will probably be essentially at eye level, okay. Fauske: Out of an upper story, okay. I understand. Well I guess it would depend, I apologize. I don't know the elevation that your house sits at with respect. Bill Cook: Well you know and I'm not going to, I'm not arguing the elevation. It's just in terms of the possible health risks. That's the question that we're raising, some of us as neighbors and you know he sent a number of references expressing that concern so I mean I'm not sure what that the solution is. I just went here to sort of speak for myself, my family and for some of the other neighbors that we have a concern about it. Aanenson: And Chairman I can follow up on that. Before this item appears before the City Council additional information, again I'll relate back to when we did the National Weather Service. Same kind of you know when we were doing that. This has once a day is when they're doing the, and my understanding it's going to be around midnight that they'll do a very short blast to get the read, once a day but I can provide some additional information for when this item goes to the council or try to contact the residents with the information to the question we have. Aller: I think that would be a good thing for the City Council to have before they make their final decision on it. And we certainly appreciate the concern. Bill Cook: Alright, well thanks for the opportunity. Aller: And I appreciate your coming up and giving us your opinion. Bill Cook: Okay, thanks. Aller: Thank you sir. Anyone else wishing to speak for or against? Julia Prohaska: Hi, my name is Julia Prohaska. Aller: Welcome. Julia Prohaska: Is this okay? Aller: Yes. Julia Prohaska: And I think my husband had sent an email. Aanenson: Yes. Julia Prohaska: He is in, out west at a business meeting and I'm just rolling in from a client appointment so unfortunately I left my notes in my car but I think Bill and I live in the same neighborhood. We are directly across the street. Our back yard looks out to the fire station and I spent a lot of time doing a lot of research on it and I definitely have significant concerns about it. If you look at other states in the country, California, Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan have all had major debates over this and they're trying to have 10 Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 laws changed that not only about towers, which are even much more, have a much more possibility of health dangers, but actually people talking about the actual meters being on their homes and a lot of states now they're trying to have where you can opt out of it so, and I looked at, there was a study that was, or a letter that was written in 2012. I don't remember what time of the year it was last year, by 50 different well, very well respected doctors. I think the main one was from, one of the main ones that wrote the letter was from the University of New York in Albany but they were doctors and scientists from all around the world and really talking about, and it was on my husband's email that he sent. Really they don't agree that these, the frequency is not causing health problems and there's a lot of people that were talking about if they lived, for instance one I just remember reading is, a husband and wife that lived in a house that had a meter on it and then they had a second home and she had a lot of health problems when they were in the house that had a meter and then when they would be at their house the other half of the year that didn't have, so I think the thing that bothered me was all of the evidence of health problems was, they would only say to date we're to seeing significant things you know and that doesn't make me feel very comfortable because we all know that as they find out more on things that you know they find out dangerous but it takes sometimes years of studies to do. Another thing was you know, I know the World Health Organization had a, was one of the backers of saying oh no, it's you know, these aren't a problem but when I looked at their research, the research was from, the most recent was from 2002. It was 1998. 1996. I'm going that's over 10 years ago and so I am very concerned and our house is, our house and our neighbors next door are by far the very closest to it so my husband and I really, with it being a conditional use I guess I thought I understood that that has to be the condition met is that there are absolutely no conditions where it does threaten people's health so. Aanenson: Can I just make a clarification? I think they're being read by radio frequencies today. That's how they're operating. So thereis a beam going out. It's going to a vehicle that's driving around so there is. Julia Prohaska: Right. Aanenson: There is, so it's a radio frequency. I think we, I want to make sure that that's clear. Julia Prohaska: I'm sorry, can you state that again? Aanenson: Right now your meter is being read by radio frequency. Yeah. Julia Prohaska: I understand. Aanenson: Yeah, yeah. So what's moving from a vehicle, what we're doing is replacing what, there's a short 10 year battery that's not replaceable so they're changing it to a different type. Instead of using a vehicle to do the cost effective and doing a stationary site that it can be read by. Julia Prohaska: And that bothers me even more because like in some states where they are not trying to pass laws, and I'm not sure that they haven't already passed that you have the ability to opt out of having one of the readers on your house so you have a choice if, most of them they charge a fee if you're going to opt out of it. With a tower, I don't have a choice. I live there. I built my house there. I can't say well I'm going to opt out of that tower so you know now I've got a tower which they talk about in the articles has a lot more potential for danger than just one meter on your house. So now I've got a meter on my house and a big tower so that's what really bothers me and when they say they're going to be reading them at midnight, well of course that's when we're all also home you know so I just think there must be other locations in the area. Whether it would be at the park across the lake. The Arboretum. The, we have a little park you know several parks down the street from us. Roundhouse Park. Freeman Park. Another one on Highway 7. Why not put it where people are not living so close to it? 11 Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 Aller: It's range. Thomas: It would still, yeah it'd be range but it would still come and come to the house to check, you know what I mean? To check the meters even if we moved it. You know what I mean? It would still be at the same level, right? I mean we're putting these at about, so I'm assuming being that I, we do transmitters at my place of business so I understand about networks and what not. I assume we're putting these about the same height around the city to be able to capitalize on the range we're trying to create, because we're basically creating a net which is allow it to feed out and read the signals and bring it back, right? Aanenson: Correct. Thomas: Okay. So if we moved it. Aller:... signal should be the same. Thomas: Should be the same, yeah. So if we moved it, it would still be the same. Aanenson: That's my point. I'm saying it'd still be a radio frequency. I guess that was what I was trying to explain. Whether it's be a car driving around or if it's a stationary pole, it's still coming to your house to read the meter so I think that's the part we need to understand and communicate. Thomas: So I mean I understand what you're saying and I understand the concern and I did a lot of research about it as well back and forth just to understand about, I mean I kind of basically understood the things because no one seems to have a good consensus as to whether it's a health risk or not. They've been studying this since 1990 and no one has a consensus and we're using it for many other things you know. Julia Prohaska: Right, and that's the thing too. Thomas: Cell phones. Your microwaves, you know. All these other things that people are using daily you know what I mean? Julia Prohaska: Right, and so now we're just adding another layer and that bothers me and I'm sorry but I don't agree because in one of the articles by these scientists and doctors, you know world renown people they were, some of them worked at different cancer institutes. They were public health, all sorts of different things in the first, I think it's the first link that my husband had on there, they do talk about how people that actually because in some states or in some areas, I don't know maybe even in Minnesota, they actually have them inside their house and they said that is, you're getting, you have more of a problem there than if they're on the outside wall so our's are on an outside wall but they compared having them inside your house to having again a tower close to you so if, already now I've got one on the outside wall of my house and then I have a tower across the street from me so you know, that up's it for me. So I guess like I said, we really spent a lot of time reading it and there's, it's kind of like listening to a weather report. Tomorrow it may be this. Tomorrow we hope to this. It's that and when you read the information from the doctors and scientists, they can never say 100% we know this is not going to be you know, they know that there's levels and actually I had a sister that had a, so maybe I'm a little more sensitive to it. She had a tumor, a acousticneroma and the doctors said these are the kind that they feel like they're going to be seeing from cell phone use and she's lost a lot of hearing from it and if you look at some of what people are saying the health hazards to these, it is. It's brain cancer. It's you know ringing in your ears all the time and so to me if there's some out there, why do I want to subject even the 12 Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 tiniest possibility of adding another layer of all the technology you know to my house so I guess that's you know I just feel like can't they find a different place to put it where people are not, where it's not that close because there's something about being the closeness because they didn't send it to people that live 1,000 feet away. They only sent it, I think the notices to people that are within. Aller: The notices in the statute only go to 500 feet. Fauske: Yeah, it has nothing to do with range. Aller: No matter what we're doing, it only goes to 500 feet. Julia Prohaska: Okay. But I do know that when you read the article the closeness of being by the towers is something that they talk about so. Aller: Okay, thank you. Julia Prohaska: Thank you. I appreciate your time. Thank you very much. Aller: Okay. Anyone else wishing to speak for or against? Seeing no one stepping forward I'll close the public hearing portion of the meeting and open for commissioner comments. Having any thoughts? Hokkanen: I have a question. Kate, is there any, can you explain the difference between the meter that's in our house and this, the meter that's going on the tower? Is there, they're emitting the same? Thomas: I think you're talking about two different things. One's on the house. One's the. Hokkanen: Okay, and one that's in the car. Thomas: Yeah, I think you're talking about the car versus the tower, correct? Hokkanen: Okay, that's what I mean. The one that's... Thomas: ... in the car. Hokkanen: And the power, do we know that? Fauske: I don't have those numbers at my fingertips. I apologize Aller: I think what we're looking at is the contract's been approved. We're running this system and the only question is, how do we, do we allow for a tower to go up, similar to. Aanenson: Right. Aller: It's a matter of we're doing it because they want to put this on it but the question before us, is whether or not the tower is appropriate and under these circumstances we're doing it, they've looked at the locations. They've decided that this is the best location so with the understanding that the City Council will receive more additional information about the EMF's so that they're well versed in that, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't approve it and move it forward. Thomas: I agree with you. It's being used within the city. It is currently everywhere. We're looking at building, putting a tower and that's what it is. 13 Chanhassen Planning Commission — February 5, 2013 Aller: Any finther comments? Tennyson: The issue is confined to zoning for us and that's our role so, there are other concerns and the City Council can, they should hear them. Thomas: They should yeah. Yep. Look at it and see if. Aller: And in their conversations and communications with the vendor, if these things come up, then I'm sure that they'll take appropriate action. So with that, anyone like to make a motion? Tennyson: I'll make a motion. Aller: Okay. Tennyson: If I canfind it. The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan to allow a 60 foot tower with a 10 foot antenna for a utility meter reader and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation. Allen. I have a motion. Do I have a second? Thomas: Second. Aanenson: Can I get clarification on the motion? Did you want to add the additional information regarding EMF's be provided at the City Council? Was that part of your? Thomas: Yeah, let's put that in there. Just because I think it'd be good to have them have it in their packet. Tennyson: So adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation, including recommendations and additional information regarding EMF's to City Council. Thomas: I second that new motion. Allen. Okay. Any further discussion? Tennyson moved, Thomas seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan to allow a 60 foot tower with a 10 foot antenna for a utility meter reader and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation, including that additional information regarding EMF's be provided to the City Council. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0. Aanenson: If I may, this item is scheduled to go to the City Council on February 25'h. Aller: So all those at home or present who wish to follow this item, the hearing on that will be before the City Council on February 25, 2013. You're welcome to attend that proceeding and we would welcome you to do so. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Aller: Do I have someone to note the Minutes of January 15th? 14 Chanhassen, MN - Official Website - Water Meter Radio Replacement Page 1 of 1 emyconneetions: Engage your community - connect to news. events and information you care about View more informabon.., sign In Aacour U5 GO`/crtijPdd•fr High Zone Water Storage Front, W eel Water Treatment Plant Witter Meter RaEio Replacement aa_ �I1ll �II!'.�.�J 1 nFicriagrjcio a FAQLfrjES LEPtli!rri j'r5 JHELF cE, frefo search Chanhassen 4 Cbanhassen: Home I departments I Engineering/GIs I Pro] I Water/ Sewer Utility Pmlects I Water Meter Ra4b Replacement Water Meter Radio Replacement Overview In 2001, the City installed radio devices on all water meters to obtain water usage remotely from a vehicle on the roadway without having to go on to private property and physically read the water meters. This system has served the pity well; however, due to their age, the units' batteries are failing at a very high rate and the manufacturer no longer services this equipment. After reviewing several options, the City Council has decided to completely replace the water meter radios with newer radio technology. This system will save money over the long term and includes enhanced customer service features the old system did not offer. The new radios have a life expectancy of 20 years. An experienced meter installation contractor Ferguson Waterworks, has been hired to install the new radios. City staff will assist Ferguson with replacement of industrial and commercial meters. Water meters are located inside homes and buildings and, in most cases, are located in the basement and/or utility room. The $1.19 million dollar project is expected to be complete by September of 2013. This project is being funded through water and sewer utility usage fees and therefore there are no upfront costs to property owners at the time of installation. This program only affects those properties that are connected to the municipal water supply. Scheduling A Water Meter Radio Replacement Beginning the week of February 4, 2013, the first group of notices will be mailed to property owners asking them to schedule an appointment for when installation is scheduled to begin in their area. These notices will be sent in three separate groups over the next several months. Owners will be asked to schedule an appointment spanning a two-hour block of time. Evening and weekend appointments are available upon request. Please do not try to schedule an appointment until you have received written notice. Appointments must be scheduled within two weeks of receiving a written notice. To install the radio, the installer will need to gain entry to your home or business. The water meter area must be clear and accessible. The installers need at least three feet around the unit to work. An adult must be present at the time of installation. Installation should take about 20 minutes to complete. All Ferguson Waterworks employees wear uniform shirts and travel in marked vehicles. Background checks on the Ferguson employees working In Chanhassen have been completed by the Carver County Sherriffs office. Employees will be issued City ID badges. For the system to operate effectively, all current equipment must be replaced.

Our concern is over the published health risks posed by living in close proximity to the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radio frequency/microwave EMFs associated with smart meters and reader equipment. While I don't profess expertise in this area, our preliminary research raises serious questions about adverse health effects associated with the operation of this technology especially when concentrated in close proximity to humans. I attach links to several articles that describe health risks associated with wireless smart meters and the wide spread concerns being voiced by residents in many states across the country.

I'm a neighbor of Kevin Prohaska and 1, too, recently became aware of the potential health risks posed by electromagnetic fields and radio frequency/microwave EMF's associated with smart meters and reader equipment. A quick search online bears this out. I share Mr. Prohaska's concerns as well as other neighbors and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with staff and the city council. I cannot make the meeting tonight but look forward to the opportunity to learn from staff, the planning commission, and/or city council on the following questions: Can the city provide any guarantees regarding health concerns of this technology? Have there been any studies that validate the safety of this equipment? Does our proximity to the antenna pose any additional risks to us and our families? I hope the city can answer these questions and provide its citizens with safety assurances before moving ahead with this project. I look forward to hearing from you.

Approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review to allow a 60-foot tower and 10-foot antenna for a Utility Meter Reader. The site is located at 6400 Minnewashta Parkway (southwest of the intersection of Minnewashta Parkway and Highway 7). PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 5, 2013. The Planning Commission voted five for and none against a motion recommending approval of the project. The February 5, 2013 Planning Commission minutes are item la of the City Council packet. Radio Frequency Questions were raised at the Planning Commission meeting about the radio frequency and if there are any health hazards associated with this technology. The radio frequency (RF) of the new system is 450 MHz. The old radio read system also used this radio technology to transmit information. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified radiation emitted by devices operating at these RF frequencies as "non -ionizing". Other types of non -ionizing radiation devices include televisions, radios, remote controls, and other devices that use visible light and infrared light. Also, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reviewed this technology has not found any significant health effects because of this technology, especially at low voltage. While most radio technologies have used analog signals, modern wireless telecommunications are using digital transmissions. Detailed reviews conducted so far have not revealed any hazard specific to different RF modulations. The risk of Chanhassen is a Community for Life - Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow SCANNED Todd Gerhardt Utility Meter Reader — Planning Case 2013-05 February 25, 2013 Page 2 adverse health effects for the equipment and data transmission frequency specified for the project is sufficiently low, considerably less exposure than television, Wi-Fi, and cell phones. Further, radio and television broadcast stations have been in operation for the past 50 or more years without any adverse health consequence being established. Frequencies used in FM radio (around 100 MHz) and in TV broadcasting (around 300 to 400 MHz) are lower than those employed in mobile telephony (900 MHz and 1800 MHz). All the new radios use between 1 and 2 watts and are powered by C-cell Lithium batteries that have a voltage of 1.2 volts DC. The typical transmission of the radio data will be once a day for a very short time period, less than a second. Once the receiver receives the information the data is transmitted to City hall via fiber optic or through telephone connections. Over 9.0 million 450 MHz radio devices have been deployed on residential metering applications throughout North America. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the request. ATTACHMENTS 1.

West Fire Station Communication Antenna Planning Case 2013-05 February 5, 2013 Page 2 PROPOSAUSUMMARY The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit and site plan approval for the construction of a 60-foot pole with a 10-foot antenna for a utility meter reader. The pole is proposed to be situated south of Highway 7 and north of Minnewashta Parkway. A single 10-foot antenna will be mounted above the 60-foot pole. The pole will have a base of 11.25 inches wide and tapers as it reaches the highest point. The control equipment will be housed inside the fire station building located on the subject site. No landscaping is proposed since the site has existing mature tree cover. No trees are proposed to be removed. The pole will be fully screened by the existing mature trees. Access to the pole is provided via the parking lot that serves the fire station which is accessed off of Minnewashta Parkway. Staff is recommending approval with conditions. BACKGROUND On September 24, 2012, the City Council approved a contract to replace the City's water meter radios. These radios are connected to every residential and business water meter in the city and allow the City to read the meters with a City vehicle equipped with a meter reader. This system is considered a drive -by system. Most of the City's water meter radio batteries are over 10 years old and are failing. A cost -benefit analysis was completed for the water meter radio project to determine a cost-effective and long-term solution for the radios. It was determined the drive -by meter radios should be replaced with a fixed -based collection system. This system is more efficient and offers a lot more customer service features then the old system. This system also has the longest life expectancy. In order for the fixed -based system to collect the water meter West Fire Station Communication Antenna Planning Case 2013-05 February 5, 2013 Page 3 information, collectors need to be installed throughout the City. A propagation study has been completed by the system manufacturer which identified the need for six collectors. Most of the collectors can be located on existing water towers or antenna poles owned by the City. However, no existing city -owned infrastructure in the northwest corner of the City is tall enough to service this area. GENERAL. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE PLAN The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit and a site plan review to construct a 60-foot monopole with a 10-foot antenna for a utility meter reader. The City's Zoning Ordinance allows towers and antennas in Office and Institutional Districts subject to the approval of a conditional use permit by the City Council. In reviewing conditional use permit requests, the Planning Commission must consider possible adverse affects of the use. The standards are: 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: (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. The following constitutes our findings: A 60-foot high pole with a 10-foot antenna at this location should not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of surrounding property or substantially diminish property values, as the proposed tower is virtually hidden from views and surrounded by existing mature vegetation. Further, the proposed tower should not endanger the public health or safety if the conditions attached to the permit and building code requirements are adhered to. In locating a pole, the applicant must demonstrate that the antenna cannot be accommodated on an existing or approved tower or building within a one -mile search radius. West Fire Station Communication Antenna Planning Case 2013-05 February 5, 2013 Page 4 There are no existing poles or water towers within the mile radius that can accommodate this tower. The applicant is requesting approval to erect a monopole because there are no existing structures of adequate height in this portion of the City. Staff instructed the applicant to provide images showing the pole in the proposed location. The following are images taken from several locations around the site: 1. P.,nppi LN Cul . S.

These trees are approximately 40 feet tall. The fire station is on the east side of the parking lot. The properties on the south side of Minnewashta Parkway, south of the fire station have a finished floor elevation lower than Minnewashta Parkway. These lots also have mature trees that are along Minnewashta Parkway which provides screening. Due to the existence of mature trees in the area and the significant distance to other properties in the area from the proposed pole site, no additional landscaping is planned. Staff took images showing the pole in the proposed location using the fire department ladder truck. The top of the fire truck railing is approximately the height of the proposed pole. City Code does require new antenna support structures to be designed to accommodate additional users. Providing opportunities for co -location is important if the total number of towers in the City is to be kept at a minimum. However, this tower is anticipated to be too short to accommodate cellular providers. In the future, an intemet communication system may be installed on the pole to service the fire station. The pole is proposed to be installed at the north side of the fire station parking lot as shown in this exhibit. COLLECTOR EOUIPMENT A small collector equipment box (16" x 20") will be installed inside the fire station so the equipment is in a controlled environment. No other equipment is needed to be installed outside. PARKING Parking is available at the fire station to service the equipment. Staff expects only minimal vehicle traffic to visit the site for maintenance purposes. Maintenance of the equipment is anticipated to be completed by the City utility department. LANDSCAPING The fire station property is surrounded by mature trees. No trees or vegetation will be removed to install the pole. Staff is not proposing to plant any additional landscaping screening materials since the property is heavily wooded. LIGHTING The parking lot does not have any lighting. The pole is not planned to add any parking lot lighting. The pole will not be illuminated by artificial means and does not meet the criteria for needing strobe lights. SIGNAGE No advertising signage or identification of any kind will be placed on the pole. West Fire Station Communication Antenna Planning Case 2013-05 February 5, 2013 Page 6 GRADING/DRAINAGE Access to the pole will be through the fire station parking lot. No site grading will be needed to install the pole. The drainage pattern of the fire station property will not change. MISCELLANEOUS The radio meter contractor shall submit to the City a footing pole design and drawing signed by a registered engineer. Staff finds that the applicant has met the general standards for all conditional uses and the design standards for poles.

Most of the collectors can be located on existing water towers or antenna poles owned by the City. However, no existing City -owned infrastructure in the northwest comer of the City is tall enough to service this area. The proposed project is to install a 60' tall steel pole on the Fire Station #2 property (6400 Minnewashta Parkway) at the comer of Minnewashta Parkway and TH 7. The City did look at attaching the collector unit to the fire station structure but it was found to be more expensive then a free standing pole. The pole would have a 10' tall galvanized collector rod attached to the pole. No other equipment is planned to be attached to the pole at this time. City Code does require new antenna support structures to be designed to accommodate additional users. Providing opportunities for co -location is important if the total number of towers in the City is to be kept at a minimum. However, this tower is anticipated to be too short to accommodate cellular provides. In the future an internet communication system may be installed on the pole to service the fire station.

These radios are connected to every residential and business water meter in the city and allow the City to read the meters with a City vehicle equipped with a meter reader. This system is considered a drive -by system. Most of the City's water meter radio batteries are over 10 years old and are failing. A cost benefit analysis was completed for the water meter radio project to determine a cost-effective and long-term solution for the radios. It was determined the drive -by meter radios should be replaced with a fixed -based collection system. This system is more efficient and offers a lot more customer service features then the old system. This system also has the longest life expectancy. In order for the fixed -based system to collect the water meter information, collectors need to be installed throughout the City. A propagation study has been completed by the system manufacture which identified the need for six collectors. Most of the collectors can be located on existing water towers or antenna poles owned by the City. However, no existing City -owned infrastructure in the northwest corner of the City is tall enough to service this area. The proposed project is to install a 60' tall steel pole on the Fire Station #2 property (6400 Minnewashta Parkway) at the comer of Minnewashta Parkway and TH 7. The City did look at attaching the collector unit to the fire station structure but it was found to be more expensive then a free standing pole. The pole would have a 10' tall galvanized collector rod attached to the pole. No other equipment is planned to be attached to the pole at this time. City Code does require new antenna support structures to be designed to accommodate additional users. Providing opportunities for co -location is important if the total number of towers in the City is to be kept at a minimum. However, this tower is anticipated to be too short to accommodate cellular provides. In the future an internet communication system may be installed on the pole to service the fire station. The pole is proposed to be installed at the north side of the fire station parking lot as shown in this exhibit. 1. Pipewood LN Culdesac 3. Meadow Lane 5. 6436 Landings Ct 2. Litt Station #3 4. Hwy 7 & Greenbriar ��1 �tl lVij'F+ 6. Landings Ct & Landings Dr The north and west side of the parking lot are surrounded by mature trees. These trees are approximately 40' tall. The fire station is on the east side of the parking lot. The properties on the south side of Minnewashta Parkway, south of the fire station have a finished floor elevation lower then Minnewashta Parkway. These lots also have mature trees that are along Minnewashta Parkway which provides very good screening. Because of the mature trees in the area and the significant distance to other properties in the area from the proposed pole site, no additional landscaping is planned. Staff took images showing the pole in the proposed location using the fire department ladder truck. The top of the fire truck railing is approximately the height of the proposed pole.

Fire Station 92 8. 6661 Kirkwood Or COLLECTOR EQUIPMENT A small collector equipment box (16" x 20") will be installed inside the fire station so the equipment is in a controlled environment. No other equipment is needed to be installed outside. PARKING Parking is available at the fire station to service the equipment. Staff expects only minimal vehicle traffic to visit the site for maintenance purposes. Maintenance of the equipment is anticipated to be completed by the City utility department. LANDSCAPING The fire station property is surrounded by mature trees. No trees or vegetation will be removed to install the pole. Staff is not proposing to plant any additional landscaping screening materials since the property is heavily wooded. LIGHTING The parking lot does not have any lighting. The pole is not planned to add any parking lot lighting. The pole will not be illuminated by artificial means and does not meet the criteria for needing strobe lights. SIGNAGE No advertising signage or identification of any kind will be placed on the pole GRADING/DRAINAGE Access to the pole will be through the fire station parking lot. No site grading will be needed to install the pole. The drainage patter of the fire station property will not change. MISCELLANEOUS The radio meter contractor shall submit to the City a footing pole design and drawing signed by a registered engineer. City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard P.O.
