Suite 180 Bloomington, MN 55431 RE: Vierling Site Dear Dave, The Planning Department has reviewed your preliminary request to place a communication tower on the Vierling property located in the NE~ of SW~ of Section 24, T 115N, R22 W (PID 25-924-003-0). The property is zoned A-1. Towers are permitted uses in the A-1 zoning district. Because this property is located in the rural service area, as defined in the Comprehensive Plan, the following must be complied with: 1. A tower with antenna is located at least 250' from the centerline of a public road. 2. The tower and antenna has setbacks equal to one half the height measured from the base to its highest point. This property is designated as Agricultural Preserve. The restrictive covenants for the agricultural preserve states that" wetlands, pasture and woodlands accompanying land in agricultural use shall be deemed to be an agricultural use." Therefore, if the proposed tower location is located in a woodland or pasture it would not be taking away from land being used as specified agricultural uses as defined in the covenants, and would be permitted. Please submit a letter from the property owner stating what type of use the land for the tower is currently being used for as defined in the covenants. Additionally, the property is not being subdivided, nor is a residential unit being constructed for the proposed project. Thus, the Planning Department has determined the proposed use of the property for a communications tower is permitted within the current zoning ordinance, provided the proposed location is in an existing woodland or pasture. We have discussed this with the Department of Agriculture, and they do not object considering the proposed tower would not be utilizing any land with a specific agricultural purpose (wetland, woodland or pasture). They also stated the jurisdiction for such a decision is left to the city. L:\98FILES\98CORRES\JENNI\SBA.DOC 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ,I' As we have discussed, the procedure prior to obtaining a building permit is that of site plan review. Enclosed is an application. Additional application materials include a survey, tree preservation plan, proposed site plan layout (buildings, tower, driveway, etc.) building plans and engineering of the proposed structure. The application fee is $300.00 non-refundable. This fee is separate from the building permit fee. The proposed project will be reviewed by an internal committee (Development Review Committee) consisting of representatives from various city departments. The DRC meets every Thursday, however, your application must be submitted no later than one week before the DRC meeting. You do not have to be present at the meeting. Please submit your application to the Planning Department, attention to Jane Kansier, DRC Planning Coordinator. She will schedule your project for a meeting and coordinate the DRC review. Once DRC approval is given, you can apply for a building permit. Please call me if you have any questions.

Initially, Nextellooked to existing structures on which to locate their antennas (those sites are noted below) but were unable to secure a location which fits within their radio plan. SITE NAME SITE LOCATION REASON OF F AILUE Prior Lake Water Tower 5560 Cedarwood St. ... Savage Water Tower 9000 W. 138th St. Failed radio plan. Savage Water Tower II 6344 ER;an Drive. "'...

EXHAUSTED EXISTING SITES * The City of Prior Lake template lease agreement is a "take it or leave it" document which cannot be altered to include financing language which Nextel requires. ** Although the location fits the radio plan, Savage restricted the location on the water tank that the antennas could be mounted resulting in a failure of the radio plan. The next step for Nextel has been to consider a ground build location where they would construct a communications tower for placement of their antennas. With your departments suggestion, a location has been selected which fulfills Nexte1's radio plan. The property located in the NEl/4 SWII4 of Section 24, T115N, R22W (Pill 25-924- 003-0) which is owned by the Vierling family, although north and west of the intended search area, would fulfill Nextel's required criteria and the Vierlings are amenable to 02/19/98 10:52 tt612 853 0827 Nextel Blmgtn l4I003 leasing the required ground space (100' , lattice tower. x 100 ) for the construction of a 185 self support There is some question whether the land.. . perhaps came out of preserve st tu' IS stdl conSidered Agriculture Preserve or requests your review of the c at s I? years past.

Fax: (612) 703-7635 National & International TO: Jenni Tovar FROM: Nathan Ward DATE: February 19, 1998 SUBJECT: Location of a telecommunications site on Vierling property Ms. Tovar: Based on your recommendation that the City of Prior Lake may be more flexible regarding their template "Water Tower Antennae Agreement", I again contacted Mr. Ralph Teschner regarding the issue. As Ralph had conveyed on January 06, 1998 and again confirmed this morning, his and the City's position on the template agreement is as follows: · The City adopted this as their standard agreement on November 4th, 1996 (resolution 96- 106). · Several other carriers have executed the agreement "as-is" after attempting to modify the agreement to fit their specific needs. · Due to the amount oftime that would be required for the city to negotiate and modify the agreement on a case by case basis, it is not cost effective for them to do so. · The opinion was and still is that the agreement is to be executed in it's current format. Nextel, due to restrictions placed on them by their lenders, must have language incorporated into every agreement. Since the City is unwilling to add this language, Nextel is simply unable to enter into the agreement. We greatly appreciate your time and assistance in finding an alternative to the City's water tank. The information you have requested regarding the placement of a monopole at the Vierling property is being completed and should be available to you by late next week or early the following. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call. Respectfully. ~~~ Nathan S. Ward Project Director
