The proposed antennae would serve the existing <br />125 foot high, cellular tower at the former Darling Rendering Plant site, which is now <br />owned by the City of New Brighton. The applicant is at the meeting to ask to expand the <br />use of the cellular tower by doubling the amount of antennae on the facility and therefore <br />a special use permit process is required. Staff believes the special use will not be <br />detrimental to the public and that the application meets all the special use standards and <br />meets all the standards found in the height exceptions and staff believes the proposed <br />addition does not provide additional interference with any redevelopment efforts of the <br />northwest quadrant. <br /> <br />Dave Trost of Site Acquisition Consultants. spoke representing AT & T Wireless in the <br />request. He pointed out they are adding the antennae at the same level of the existing <br />arrays. This will not preclude any other co-locations so if there are any other applicants <br />who would need to get service in this area there is plenty of room on that tower for lease <br />as well. This would take advantage of an existing structure and provide better service <br />without having to put up another one. <br /> <br />CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. <br />Moved and seconded to <br />5 Ayes, 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
