SUMMARY
Applicant&Property Owner(s): Cingular Wireless
Location: 13831 Connemara Trail
Area in Acres: 1.7 Acres
Comp. Guide Plan Desig: P/I—Public Institutional
Current Zoning: P/I—Public Institutional
The applicant, Cingular Wireless,requests site plan approval to allow construction of an 11' 5" by
28' (319 square feet) building to house equipment for cellular antenna mounted on the adjacent
Connemara water tower. The building will be located on the Connemara water tower site at 13831
Connemara Trail. Staff recommends approval of this application subject to conditions.
BACKGROUND
The City's cellular tower and antenna standards are outlined in Section 11-9-6. This section requires
new antennas colocate on existing towers or buildings unless the applicant can demonstrate existing
structures cannot accommodate the proposed antennas. Because the antennas will be mounted to
the existing water tower,rather than a separate stand-alone tower, they may be approved
administratively through a building permit and lease agreement with the City. However, the building
necessary to house the associated cellar antenna equipment must be reviewed and approved through
the site plan review process. Should the City approve the site plan application, the next step for the
applicant will be to receive approval of a building permit and execute a lease agreement with the
City.
ISSUE ANALYSIS
The purpose of a site plan review is to evaluate each project as it relates to the performance and site
design standards of the zoning ordinance and is required for all commercial,industrial,institutional
and multi-family development projects. In this case, the applicant proposes an 11' 5" by 28'building
to house associated equipment for cellular antennas mounted on the Connemara water tower.
Site plan applications are approved by the Planning Commission and considered a Quasi-Judicial
action. As such, the City has a set of standards and requirements for review. Generally,if a site plan
application meets the ordinance requirements it must be approved. These standards are outlined in
Section 11-4-18 (Public and Institutional District) and 11-10-3 (Site and Building Plan Review).
Land Use&Zoning. The proposed equipment building is compatible with the subject property's
land use and zoning classifications. The 2030 Land Use map guides the subject property as P/I—
Public Institutional. According to the Comprehensive Plan, this category is intended to
accommodate the civic,religious,governmental, and educational needs of the community. The
property's current P/I—Public and Institutional zoning designation allows the proposed building as
well as the associated cellular antennas on the existing water tower.
Lot and Building Standards. The proposed building will be located directly north of the existing
water tower. The required and proposed setbacks are detailed in the table below. As planned, the
proposed building exceeds all setback requirements.
Building Performance Standards for the P/I Public & Institutional District
Standard Required Proposed
Front (South) 30 ft. 160 ft.
Side (East) 30 ft. 55 ft.
Side (West) 30 ft. 190 ft.
Rear (North) 30 ft. 40 ft.
Access. Access to the site is provided from Connemara Trail through an existing bituminous
driveway. The applicant's plans show an extension of the existing driveway to serve the proposed
building. The existing driveway and proposed extension meet the ten (10) foot parking surface
setback standard.
Parking. Rosemount's parking regulations do not require off-street parking for the proposed
unmanned equipment building. As a result, no additional parking is planned. The proposed
driveway extension will provided adequate access and maneuvering area for periodic maintenance.
Exterior Building Materials. The proposed building conforms to the exterior building materials
requirements for the P/I—Public and Institutional district. This district requires the exterior wall
surfaces of all buildings be constructed of at least fifty percent (50%) brick or natural stone. The
remaining fifty percent (50%) of the wall surface may be specialty integral colored concrete block
(including textured,burnished, and rock faced block), tile (masonry, stone or clay), architectural
textured concrete panels cast in place, or better. EIFS or masonry stucco may be used for
architectural accents totaling no more than ten percent (10%) of the non-glass,brick or stone
2
portion of the building. Unadorned concrete is prohibited. In this case, the lower fifty percent
(50%) of the building will be red/brown facebrick while the upper fifty percent (50%) of the
building will be concrete panels with a stucco finish.
Trash Enclosure. Staff finds the proposed unmanned equipment building does not require a trash
enclosure.
Landscaping. The applicant's landscape plan meets the City's minimum requirements and will
provide additional screening of the proposed building. The applicant's plan calls for ten (10) six
foot (6') tall conifer trees located north and west of the proposed building. Staff will work with the
applicant to position the trees so as to provide the most effective screening for the adjacent
residential neighborhoods. Staff recommends a condition of approval require the applicant to
replace any existing landscaping removed during the construction process and provide a landscape
escrow equal to 110% of the total value of the required landscaping.
Signage. Under Section 11-9-6.A, commercial use antennas shall contain no signage,including
logos, except as may be required by state and federal regulations. As a result, there will be no
additional signage at the site. Staff recommends a condition of approval require the applicant to
Exterior Lighting. The applicant's plan shows one exterior light on the south side of the proposed
building between the two access doors. Details for the light fixture demonstrates all lighting will be
directed toward the ground and not produce glare onto neighboring properties.
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the site plan application from Cingular
Wireless allowing construction of an 11' 5" by 28' building to house cellular antennas equipment.
This equipment will serve new cellular antenna mounted to the Connemara water tower. This
recommendation is based on the information submitted by the applicant; the findings made in this
report and is subject to the conditions outlined in the recommended action section above.
