MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 13, 1989 <br />• ZONING FILE #1463 - CONTEL OF MINNESOTA CONTINUED <br />switching building on Church property. <br />Councilmember Goetten asked City Administrator Bernhardson <br />to whom residents would address any concerns once the building is <br />completed? <br />City Administrator Bernhardson said that noise would more <br />than likely be the only complaint registered by any of the <br />neighboring property owners. He said unless something was <br />specifically set forth in the resolution, it would be difficult <br />to govern, as it would probably be below PCA guidelines for <br />noise. <br />Councilmember Goetten felt that due to the fact that the <br />switch building would be located in a residential area that <br />measures should be taken to mitigate as much impact to the <br />residents as possible. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson asked Mabusth if she knew <br />exactly how far away from the McCurdy residence the switching <br />building would be located? <br />Mabusth replied that it would be 901. <br />• Mr. Seeman said that Contel would be willing to turn the <br />building so that the elongated side would be east and west. He <br />said that the building would not be as far into the woods, but it <br />would put the air conditioning units on the east side. He said <br />that Contel would also prefer to place the Spruce trees around <br />the building rather than planting on the south side. He said <br />that following the Planning Commission's recommendation would <br />mean planting trees in the gravel parking lot. <br />Councilmember Goetten asked if staff had any objections to <br />turning the building? <br />Mabusth said that she did not foresee any problem with such <br />a proposal. <br />Planning Commission Representative Bellows informed the <br />Council and Acting Mayor Callahan that the Planning Commission <br />had in fact asked Contel to turn the building so to locate the <br />air conditioner as far from the McCurdy residence as possible. <br />Bellows said that the Planning Commission was told that the <br />building could not be turned because of the location of the <br />incoming cable. <br />Mr. Seeman said that a sidewalk would be added to access the <br />building if it were turned. <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth asked whether the Council would <br />like to see an amended plan at their next meeting? <br />The Council and Acting Mayor Callahan agreed that they would <br />4 <br />
