Date: June 21, 2016 Agenda Item #: III. To:Mayor and City Council Item Type: Reports / Recommendation From:Brian E. Olson, Public Works Director Item Activity: Subject:Right of Way Management - Telecommuncation Antennas & Towers Discussion CITY OF EDINA 4801 West 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 www.edinamn.gov ACTION REQUESTED: No action required at the Work Session. Ordinance 2016-10 is being asked to be approved on consent agenda later this evening with waiver of second reading recommended. INTRODUCTION: It is the intention of Staff to review the reasons behind the request for an amendment to the right of way ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Report Ordinance No. 2016-10 Amending Chapter 24 June 21, 2016 Mayor and Council Brian E. Olson, Director of Public Works Ordinance No.2016-10 Amending Chapter 24 of the Edina City Code Information / Background: In 2015 the Federal Communications Commission enhanced and made changes to their rules regarding the transmission of 911 calls to increase the accuracy of location information transmitted with a wireless 911 call. Whereas this change won’t completely correct that issue, it will allow for a much more accurate location for cell signals. The City's zoning regulations for communications towers, antenna, and base units are contained in Chapter 24 of the City ordinance. The current regulations were drafted at a time when antennas were bulky and bolted to the tops of guyed or lattice towers. While that kind of "Macrocell" deployment still exists and will continue to exist, there are now a variety of complementary and alternative technologies that are much smaller. Distributed antenna system or DAS networks and other "small cell" systems use components that are a fraction of the size of macrocell deployments, and can be installed on utility poles, buildings. Currently DAS and small cell networks do not exist on infrastructure in the public right of way in Edina. In response to these technological advancements the City has received requests to attach telecommunications antennas to City owned infrastructure within the right of way. In response to this action, the City Attorney has prepared an ordinance amendment regarding Chapter 24 of Edina City Code, so that we can better control what is happening within our right of way. The reasons for the proposed amendment are to remove barriers to fair, reasonable and non- discriminatory access to available capacity on City owned infrastructure located within public right of way, to ensure that communication antennas and associated equipment are placed appropriately and are compatible with surrounding uses, and to do so in an equitable manner consistent with applicable federal, state, and local laws. STAFF REPORT Page 2 Federal law limits the review period for telecommunications applications to 150 days, with an even shorter time of 60 days for collocations. Meeting federally imposed time frames will be made less burdensome by allowing administrative review for applications that fall within the provisions of the ordinance. The amendment seeks to balance the public need for access to reliable telecommunications infrastructure against the potential adverse effect such infrastructure can have when deployed without oversight. The amendment is not expected to create any problems, as all new deployments will be reviewed by the Director of Public Works and will be subject to development standards intended to address their visual impact. Similar to how we hire consultants for providing engineering services within the City, we would negotiate a Small Cell Master License Agreement with each of the telecommunication companies and then approve an amendment for each site. 175047v2 186712v1 ORDINANCE NO. 2016-10 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 24 OF THE EDINA CITY CODE CONCERNING RIGHT-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT THE CITY COUNCIL OF EDINA ORDAINS: Section 1.

STANDARDS FOR INSTALLATION OF OVERHEAD FACILITIES. When installing facilities overhead all wires must be a minimum of eighteen (18) feet above ground and at a location that does not interfere with traffic signals, overhead signs, or street lights. D. STANDARDS FOR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES. 1. Purpose. The City desires high quality wireless communication services to accommodate the needs of residents and businesses. At the same time, the City strives to minimize the negative impacts that wireless telecommunication facilities can have on aesthetics and public safety. Due to the many services that must be delivered within its limited area, the City also strives to avoid unnecessary encumbrances within the public right-of-way. The City allows and regulates wireless telecommunication facilities outside of the public right-of-way through performance standards and height limits. The purpose of this Article is Ordinance No. 2016-10 Page 5 186712v1 to regulate wireless telecommunication facilities within the public right-of-way in a manner that balances desire for service with aesthetic, public safety, and right- of-way flexibility concerns. Public rights-of-way are appropriate locations for wireless telecommunication facilities that present minimal impacts (i.e. small pole attachments that do not require new poles, do not require pole extensions, and do not have associated ground mounted equipment). Wireless telecommunication facilities that require greater heights than can be afforded by existing poles in the public right-of-way and that require ground mounted equipment are more appropriately sited outside the public right-of-way. The City recognizes, however, that as wireless technology advances, some residential areas of the City may be hard to serve with wireless technology due to the lack of siting alternatives in the immediate vicinity. In such areas, where no alternative non-right-of-way locations are available, wireless telecommunication facilities that require pole extensions and ground equipment will be allowed in the public right-of-way subject to the requirements of this Article which are meant to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. 2. Wireless Telecommunication Facilities as Pole Attachments. Wireless telecommunication facilities that comply with the following requirements may be attached to existing public utility structures within the right-of-way after issuance of a pole attachment permit: (a) The wireless telecommunication facility shall not extend above the top of the existing public utility structure and the height of the existing public utility structure shall not be increased to accommodate the wireless telecommunication facility. (b) If the public utility structure must be replaced to structurally accommodate the wireless telecommunication facility, the replacement public utility structure height shall not exceed the existing public utility structure height and the replacement public utility structure diameter shall not exceed the existing public utility structure diameter by more than 50 percent. (c) The wireless telecommunication facility shall not be larger than three (3) cubic feet and shall have no individual surface larger than four (4) square feet. (d) The wireless telecommunication facility shall not extend outward from the existing pole or tower or arm thereof by more than two and one half (2 1/2) feet, except that an antenna one half inch in diameter or less may extend an additional six inches. Ordinance No. 2016-10 Page 6 186712v1 (e) The wireless telecommunication facility shall include no ground mounted equipment within the rights-of-way. (f) The wireless telecommunication facility shall not interfere with public safety communications. (g) Wireless telecommunication facilities in the right-of-way shall be removed and relocated at City request subject to the provisions of this Article. (h) The wireless telecommunication facility shall not block light emanating from the public utility structure and shall not otherwise interfere with the original use of the public utility structure. 3. Wireless Telecommunication Facilities as Pole Extensions or with Ground Mounted Equipment. Wireless telecommunication facilities that require increased public utility structure height or that have ground mounted equipment may be erected in the public right-of-way only when in compliance with the following provisions and after issuance of a pole attachment permit or excavation permit: (a) The applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Public Works Directorthat the wireless telecommunication facility cannot be placed in a Code complying location outside the right-of-way within one quarter (1/4) mile of the proposed location. (b) The replacement public utility structure, including lightning rods and all other attachments, shall not exceed the height of the existing public utility structure by more than fifteen (15) feet. Once the height of a public utility structure has been increased under the provisions of this Article, the height shall not be further increased. (c) The replacement public utility structure diameter shall not exceed the existing public utility structure diameter by more than fifty (50) percent. (d) The wireless telecommunication facility shall not extend outward from the public utility structure by more than two (2) feet. (e) If feasible and desirable, as determined by the City Public Works Director, the replacement public utility structure shall match the original and surrounding public utility structures in materials and color. (f) The wireless telecommunication facility shall not interfere with public safety communications. Ordinance No. 2016-10 Page 7 186712v1 (g) A pole attachment or excavation permit for a wireless telecommunication facility that has ground mounted equipment will be issued only if: (1) the ground mounted equipment will not disrupt traffic or pedestrian circulation; (2) the ground mounted equipment will not create a safety hazard; (3) the location of the ground mounted equipment minimizes impacts on adjacent property; and, (4) the ground mounted equipment will not adversely impact the health, safety, or welfare of the community. (h) Ground mounted equipment associated with the wireless telecommunication facility shall meet the following performance standards: (1) be set back a minimum of ten (10) feet from the rights-of-way; (2) be separated from a sidewalk by a minimum of three (3) feet; (3) be set back a minimum of fifty (50) feet from the nearest intersecting right-of-way line; (4) be separated from the nearest ground mounted wireless telecommunication equipment installation on the same block face by a minimum of 330 feet unless the equipment is placed underground; (5) if located adjacent to residential uses, ground mounted equipment shall be limited to three (3) feet in height above grade and twenty seven (27) cubic feet in cumulative size; (6) if located adjacent to non-residential uses, ground mounted equipment shall be limited to five (5) feet in height above grade and eighty-one (81) cubic feet in cumulative size; (7) ground mounted equipment located outside the public right-of- way; and (8) vegetative or other screening compatible with the surrounding area shall be provided around the ground mounted equipment if deemed necessary by the City Public Works Director or designee. (i) Wireless telecommunication facilities in the right-of-way shall be removed and relocated at City request subject to the provisions of this Article. 4. New Poles. (a) The erection in the right-of-way of a new pole or a replacement pole to support wireless telecommunication facilities is not allowed, except: Ordinance No. 2016-10 Page 8 186712v1 (1) when attachment to existing utility poles is not feasible, and (2) the new pole or replacement pole is owned by the City. (b) New poles when allowed shall not exceed 35 feet in height and 4 feet in circumference 5. Charges. In addition to the permit fees outlined in this Chapter, the City reserves the right to charge telecommunication providers for their use of the public right-of-way to the extent that such charges are allowed under law. Telecommunication providers shall be responsible for payment of property taxes attributable to their equipment in the public right-of-way. Section 3. This ordinance is effective upon adoption.
