The proposal includes moving the equipment off the ski jump and onto a new tower on the ski jump property at 1210 Sterling Street South. The applicant needs city council approval for a conditional use permit and design review to move forward. Recommended Action: a.Motion to approve a conditional use permit resolution for a 125-foot communications tower to be constructed at 1210 Sterling Street South. b.Motion to approve a design review resolution for a 125-foot communications tower to be constructed at 1210 Sterling Street South. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: N/A Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated Communication Operational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on February 14, 2025. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision was April 15, 2025. Due to the applicant’s availability, the applicant has requested a 30-day extension to the review deadline. The revised deadline is now May 15, 2025. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city can take an additional 60 days, if necessary, to complete the review. J1 Background: The Saint Paul Educational Foundation is the nonprofit foundation that owns and manages the ski jump. The existing ski jump is 100 feet in height. The property owner conducted a design and structural analysis, and it was determined that the ski jump tower could not hold the equipment needed for additional upgrades without structural modifications. This has led to the Saint Paul Educational Foundation working with Verizon Wireless to propose the installation of a new 125-foot communications tower. Conditional Use Permit Section 44-1327 of the city’s zoning code requires a conditional use permit (CUP) for a communication tower in a residential zoning district. The site at 1210 Sterling Street South is zoned Farm Residential. The code also states that communication towers can only be located in the following residentially zoned locations or properties: a. Churches or places of worship. b. Parks, when the city determines the facility would be compatible with the nature of the park. c. City-owned property, government, school, utility, and institutional sites or facilities. This site would be considered an institutional use site and currently has wireless communication equipment on-site. A CUP was not required previously for this site as the equipment is located on the ski jump, which is permitted by the code. In reviewing an application for a conditional use permit for the construction of commercial antennas, towers, and accessory structures, the city council shall consider the following: 1. Standards in this Code. 2. Recommendations of the planning commission and community design review board. 3. Effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of residents of surrounding areas. 4. Effect on property values. 5. Effect of the proposed use on the comprehensive plan. As the site already contains equipment for multiple wireless carriers who previously submitted coverage/ interference analysis and capacity analysis to the city, the applicant was not required to supply this information with this application. Towers in residential zoning districts designed and built for collocation are allowed to be 125 feet in height. The applicant is requesting approval for a 125- foot communications tower, meeting the requirement. Towers located next to a residential property line or next to a property that the city is planning for residential use must be located at least the height of the tower plus 25 feet from the nearest residential structure. The proposed tower would be located more than 150 feet from the nearest residential structure, thus meeting this requirement. The code states that all ground equipment and accessory structures must be at least ten feet from the side and rear property lines. The ground equipment for the wireless carriers already exists on- site and meets the setback requirements. No changes to the location of the ground equipment are proposed. J1 Design Review Site Plan The proposed communications tower would be located just south of the ski jump. The proposed tower and existing ground equipment meet all setback requirements. Monopole Elevation and Landscaping/Screening Sec. 44-1327(13) requires the community design review board to recommend the plans for towers, utility, equipment or accessory buildings, site plans, and proposed screening and landscaping. Sec. 44-1328(3)9 requires that towers be light blue, gray, or another color shown to reduce visibility. The applicant would need to meet this requirement. The code also requires that all equipment be removed from the ski jump and prohibits the new tower from being lit. The existing ground equipment does have a chain link fence, but staff feel there is an opportunity to add additional landscaping screening around this equipment area. Environmental staff reviewed the plans and found that the proposed tower is close to two 18” oak trees. The applicant should submit a tree plan showing the significant trees' size, species, and location within the disturbed area. The applicant should also be required to submit a landscape plan to show tree replacement, if necessary, and additional screening for the tower and ground equipment.

It was hoped that the property would be cleaned up a bit in the process. Of course, the most opposition back in the day was from those who have to look at it. My input was that there would be funds set aside in case the tower was abandoned so that the city would not be on the hook for the clean-up or removal.
