Commissioner Zisla asked Mr Beliel if he feels the railing adds any value to the property. Mr. Beliel responded he is rather indifferent of the railing, and has not received any negative comments or concerns with the absence of the railing.

Motion by Commissioner Zisla, seconded by Commissioner Schiferl to close the Public Hearing. 7-0 Motion carried Motion by Commissioner Zisla, seconded by Commissioner Schiferl to recommend approval of the resolution allowing the amendment.

(B) Rob Viera on behalf of Clear -wire Legacy LLC requests a Special Use Permit to permit erection of panel and directional antennas on top of the existing Xcel Energy electrical transmission tower, at a height of approximately 140', located at 1950 Old Highway 8 NW. City Planner Gundlach explained the Special Use Permit request would allow for installation of up to nine antennas, consisting of a combination of panel and dish style, on the existing Xcel Energy Transmission Tower at 1950 Old Highway 8 NW at a height of 140'. Because the type of number of antennas is related to the types and numbers of other antennas within the Clearwire grid, the applicant is requesting flexibility to determine at a later date the actual number and type needed for this location. The applicant worked with City staff in late 2009 on numerous other Clearwire sites within the New Brighton municipal boundary. At that time, the applicant was working with Xcel Energy on a site farther north on Old Highway 8 NW (2172 Old Highway 8 NW) but that site is no longer available from Xcel Energy. The applicant has obtained landowner consent for the ground space needed at this location and is currently working with Xcel Energy on signing a Master Lease Agreement that would allow Clearwire to install equipment on many Xcel Energy -owned poles/towers Staff finds all special use standards of Section 4-600 (2) & (4) and Section 8-130 to be met. The applicant notes a late 2010/early 2011 installation for the antennas.
