DRAFT ORDINANCE ON SATEILITE DISHES/AIWENW& DISCUSSED: PERMIT AUTHORIZED FOR
REPLACEMENT A"A AT 7600 METRO BOULEVARD Mayor Richards mentioned that at the
codification work session on January 18, 1992, the Council had reviewed the draft
ordinance on satellite dishes, antennas and towers and had asked for additional
information relating to those types of installations. Coincidentally, a call was
received from General Motors, 7600 Metro Boulevard, who felt adversely impacted
by the current moratorium on issuance of permits for dishes, antennas and towers.
Planner Larsen submitted the following information: 1) The typical south and
southwest suburbs by ordinance limit the maximum height of towers and antennas to
60-65 feet which coincides with Edina's proposed ordinance. 2) Mesh vs. solid
dishes - For residential installations mesh is cheaper to manufacture, ship and
install, has less wind resistance and requires less support than a solid dish.
The difference between the two types is that they operate on different bands -
"C" band and "KU" band.

and antennas that were installed in the City prior to the moratorium instituted
on March 4, 1991. It was noted that staff had attempted to reach the persons who
had wanted to appear before Council to give a presentation on cellular phones and
satellite dishes. Staff would recommend that the Council hold a public hearing
on the draft ordinance relating to dishes, antennas and towers on February 18,
1992, so that the Council could take an action before the moratorium expires.

of the City, but the City Council recognizes that General Motors vi11 suffer an
undue hardship due to circumstances unique to the building located at 7600 Metro
Boulevard if the moratorium is imposed on the replacement of the dish antenna on
such building, and that allowing such replacement will not adversely affect the
intent and purpose of the City Council in directing such studies and adopting
Ordinance No. 114 if such antenna is of similar size as the existing antenna.
