Orono, MN Code of Ordinances Page 2 of 4 <br /> The antennas must be located on the existing emergency warning sirens poles, unless <br /> the height of the existing pole, or the capacity of the existing pole to support both the <br /> siren and the antenna(s) is inadequate to minimally meet the needs of the carrier. In <br /> this case, the carrier may be allowed to install a replacement tower that will <br /> accommodate both the emergency warning siren and the telecommunications <br /> antenna(s). The existing emergency siren towers can be replaced with towers with a <br /> maximum height of 75 feet, with the condition that the tower accommodates both <br /> the emergency warning siren and the telecommunications antenna(s). The city may <br /> also require the tower to have the capability of accommodating one additional <br /> carrier's antenna(s). <br /> 2. A new emergency warning siren tower location, selected by the city to meet its <br /> emergency warning needs, could also be used as a telecommunications antenna site <br /> through co-location of the warning siren and antenna. The standards set out in 1. <br /> above also apply to a siren tower in a new location. <br /> 3. The height of a tower can be no higher than the minimum height required to address <br /> a gap in coverage. <br /> 4. The setback of a tower from a property line must, at minimum, be equal to the height <br /> of the tower, except where an existing emergency warning siren is located on a site <br /> that does not enable this setback to be provided. <br /> 5. A carrier must demonstrate through an engineering analysis that there is a gap in <br /> coverage. <br /> 6. At the city's discretion, a tower must be designed to structurally enable co-location by <br /> another carrier, and the carrier must agree to allow co-location. <br /> 7. The carrier must provide computer-generated photos showing the views (as selected <br /> by the city)with and without the tower. <br /> 8. All consultant analysis and legal analysis related to the towers and the lease of the <br /> towers shall be paid by the carrier. <br /> 9. The carrier is required to provide coverage maps to demonstrate the specific gap in <br /> coverage and need for an additional tower and antenna(s), and to demonstrate there <br /> are no existing tower options within a radius of two miles that could accommodate <br /> the carrier's antenna needs. <br /> 10. The size of the cabinets on the ground needed to house the support equipment for <br /> the antennas is limited to the minimum necessary size, as determined by the city <br /> council. Appropriate vegetative screening of ground cabinets shall be provided by the <br /> carrier, subject to approval by the city council. The council at its discretion may allow <br /> the use of non-vegetative screening methods such as berming, fencing, etc. <br /> 11. "Stealth"-type antennas(cylindrical)vs. an array of panels, is required if the <br /> technology is available. <br /> 12. Only monopole towers are allowed. <br /> (4) Places of worship, provided that all buildings and structures, except columbaria, are located at <br /> least 50 feet from any adjacent property zoned for residential use. <br /> (5) Planned residential development, limited to detached single-family dwellings only and subject <br /> to the limitations of division 10 of this article. <br /> about:blank 1/15/2016 <br />
