Rosemount, Inc. Interim Use Permit Request
Planning Case 07-25
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting an Interim Use Permit (!UP) to install a temporary 25-foot roof-
mounted mast/antenna for the purpose of Extended Range Wireless Sensor Network testing.
The applicant originally requested a variance to exceed the IS-foot height limitation above the
roof line of the building. However, if a variance were granted, the antenna could be installed
permanently.
In order to enforce the removal of a temporary antenna, staff is concurrently proposing a code
amendment to require approval of an Interim Use Permit for roof-mounted antennas exceeding
15 feet in height. The approval ofthe Interim Use Permit is contingent on approval of the
zoning ordinance amendment to Section 20-1515 requiring an Interim Use Permit (!UP) for
antennas in excess of 15 feet in height mounted on roofs.
ACTION REQUIRED
City Council approval requires a majority vote of City Council present.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 20,2007, to review the
proposed Interim Use Permit. The Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 to approve the proposed
Interim Use Permit contingent on approval of the zoning ordinance amendment to Section 20-
1515 of the Chanhassen City Code.
The Planning Commission discussion raised the issue of approval from the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). This type of ISM band does not require review by the
FCC or the Minnesota Historical Commission. Attached is an email from Kelly Orth,
Rosemount, Inc., dated November 15, 2007 confirming this. Staff contacted the Carver
County Historical Society to ensure that the antenna would not affect any historical sites or
buildings and this was also confirmed.
The Planning Commission discussion also addressed the issue of extending the time frame for
the antenna past the six (6) month deadline. The applicant would have to request an extension
which would go before The City Council for approval.
The City 01 Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a channing downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

Subject: FCC compliance
Angie,
The radios we use in our wireless sensor devices use IEEE-802.15.4 radios which are approved for use in the
Industrial, Scientific and Medical bands (ISM), specifically the 2.40-2.48 GHz ISM band. The ISM bands are set
aside for public use and are regulated by the FCC, but site specific licenses are not required. Another type of
radio used in this same ISM band are the 802.11 big radios used in Wi-Fi enabled wireless internet products
commonly used in homes and businesses for wireless internet interconnectivity. Another type of radio in this 2.4
GHz ISM band are Bluetooth radios commonly used for wireless headsets. All these types of radios in the ISM
band do not require FCC licensing, since the bands are license free for the general public to use.
We do have FCC approval on our radio. Testing and certification and been done to assure that they meet all the
technical requirements for 2.4 GHz ISM band use, for example that they stay in band and do not have spurious
emissions into adjacent frequencies.
The FCC Programmatic Agreement requirements for licensed band operation, such as for cell phone towers, do
not apply to ISM devices so we do not require review by the MN Historical Commission for our IUP application for
the wireless sensor network testing.
Sincerely,
Kelly Orth

Page 2 of7
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting an Interim Use Permit (IUP) for a 25-foot mast/antenna on the roof of
the southwest office building located on the Rosemount property. The request is to allow the
antenna to extend above the trees and adjacent buildings, in order to transmit signals from wireless
sensors located in various areas ofthe City for testing purposes. City code limits roof-mounted
antennas to 15 feet above the roof and requires an Interim Use Permit for heights exceeding 15 feet.
Concurrently, the City is revising the zoning ordinance to require an IUP for antennas mounted on
roofs exceeding 15 feet in height.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
. Chapter 20, Article IV, Division 5. Interim Use Permits.
. Section 20-1515 (1). Antennas mounted on roofs, walls, and existing towers.
BACKGROUND
The property is located on Lot 1, Block 1, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 2nd Addition, which
is zoned Industrial Office Park (lOP). Rosemount is a supplier of process automation
technologies which are developed and tested on site. Rosemount has developed a new
monitoring device that is ready for the testing phase. Staff contacted the Carver County Historical
Society, who concluded that the mast/antenna will not impact any historical site or building.
Attached is an email from Wendy Biorn, Carver County Historical Society, dated November 14,
2007.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting an Interim Use Permit (lUP) to install a temporary 25-foot roof-
mounted mast/antenna. City Code permits roof-mounted antennas up to 15 feet in height and
requires an lOP for antennas exceeding the 15- foot limitation. The purpose of the IUP is to
extend the antenna above the treetops to allow for optimal remote transmission to test a new
battery powered, wireless mesh, network technology.
Lake AM
Pari<

Rosemount is in the testing phase of development for the
wireless mesh network technology and has located several
remote transmitters at various locations throughout the City,
which include Bandimere Park, Power Hill Park, Lake Ann Park,
the Water Treatment Plant, Highway 312 (the Lakeside
Development) and another location which is yet to be
determined, as illustrated in the network schematic to the left.
The two-story building on which the mast/antenna will be
mounted is 32 feet high. Should the Interim Use Permit be
approved, the antenna will be permitted to achieve a total height
of 57 feet above grade.
If the antenna was mounted to a freestanding tower, the maximum
height allowed for the tower including the antenna is 150 feet and
would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant
contemplated applying for a CUP to install a freestanding tower to
allow for a greater height; however, since the proposed antenna is
needed only temporarily, they would prefer to mount it on the
roof.

City Code allows temporary antennas and/or towers for test
purposes for up to 72 hours without a height limitation. However,
the proposed temporary tower exceeds the 72-hour limitation. As
an example of the proposed mast/antenna the applicant
photographed a temporary mast/antenna used for testing purposes.
The proposed mast/antenna will be less visible as it will be grey in
color, constructed of metal and steel materials .
The nearest residential subdivision is Lake Susan Hills West,
which is in excess of 1300 feet from the southwest building in
which the mast/antenna is proposed to be located. In addition, the
proposed site is surrounded by dense vegetation.
The antenna structure will not be substantially visible outside the boundaries of the Rosemount
property. The antenna is a vertical, monopole design and is 20 inches long, 5/8-inch diameter
and weighs 8 ounces. It will be mounted on a 25-foot tall metal mast/antenna that is estimated to
be less than 2 inches in diameter. The mast/antenna will be anchored by multiple steel guy wires

to the roof of the two-story office building, which is 32 feet in height. It will be designed and
certified to meet all applicable building codes as well as approval from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and any appropriate state
review authority. The mast/antenna will not impact any historically significant site or building.
A building permit will be required prior to installation ofthe mast/antenna. It is staffs opinion
that locating the temporary antenna on the roof will have a far less visual impact than a free-
standing tower. Granting of the IUP is reasonable given the mast/antenna is intended for
temporary use as well as the unique site characteristics.
Site Characteristics
The site is surrounded by mature trees, buildings and higher elevations which will interfere with
the radio transmission line of site which is required for extended range capabilities,
approximately 1 mile. A IS-foot tall antenna atop the two-story office building would allow
only point-to-point wireless testing and would not allow the extended range testing of wireless
mesh, network technology, which is a key element of the new wireless sensor network.
Preliminary testing has shown that a 25-foot tall mast/antenna atop Rosemount's two-story office
building is needed in order to conduct extended range testing over a period of two to six months
of Rosemount's battery-powered, wireless sensor products and their associated wireless mesh,
network technology.
Permitted Use
An antenna is a permitted use in the lOP district. However, the height is limited when mounted
on a roof. The maximum height is 15 feet above the roof and 10 feet from the roof edge. An
IUP is required for heights exceeding the IS-foot height limitation. Due to the topography of the
site and the surrounding area, a IS-foot tall antenna will not reach above the trees. The trees and
surrounding buildings will interfere with the wireless signals that are required to adequately and
accurately test the product to its full potential.
FINDINGS
The Planning Commission and the City Council shall grant an Interim Use Permit only if it finds
that such use at the proposed location complies with the General issuance standards of Section
20-323 of the Chanhassen City Code:
a. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general
welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
Finding: The mast/antenna will be mounted on top of the Rosemount roof. It will be located
entirely on the property and is inaccessible to the general public. Granting the IUP will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the
neighborhood or the city.
b. Will be consistent with the objective ofthe city's comprehensive plan and this chapter.

Subject: tower
Sharmeen,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the proposed temporary tower at 8200 Market Blvd in
Chanhassen. Based on our conversation, the closest possible historic property is an 1897
property owned by AI Klingelhutz. This property is approximately 2,699 feet from the proposed
location of the 25 foot tower.
The property is not on the national register and to my knowledge has not been assessed for
possible edibility. I will investigate the situation more fully and contact you regarding it, in the next
few days.
Thanks for keeping us and historic properties in mind.
Take care
Wendy Biorn
