Ms. Kansier,
I'm just following up after our telephone conversation last week. Did you and your staff get a chance to look over
this proposal? Any comments or concerns at this time?
Thanks

Ms. Kansier,
Sprint-Nextel is still in discussions with the Prior Lake - Savage School District regarding the attached proposal
for the Prior Lake High School Site. Please look over the attached and let's discuss. Sprint-Nextel proposes to
build an 80 foot tower, same height as light poles and remove antennas from the light pole (and remove shelter)
once the tower and new shelter are complete.
Sprint-Nextel would like to discuss this further with the School District and th~ Ci1y of Prior Lake so that Sprint-
Nextel can move forward with preparing a lease amendment and the final construction drawings (in order to move
forward with the School District and the City's zoning process). Although the City has a zoning height limit of 65
feet, Sprint-Nextel's antennas are currently at 80 feet and the network requires this height at the site. Sprint-
Nextel would like to try to work with the City on the height issue and as such have asked me to present this
proposal to you for review and comment. Is this something we can make work at this site?
Let's talk further about this when you have a chance.
Thanks,
Mike Whittington

Mike.
We do not generally require building permits for light poles. so we have no information on the existing poles.
If you clre replclCing the existing light standard with d ligrlt stancjarcJ, trlen no permits will be required If.
however-. you are plcmning on replacing the li~Jrlt ste]neJarc) with a tower structure. you wi/IIJe required to
submit a site pldn application and a building permit dpplicatio!l
If you rlClVe questions about what is per-mitred, I would recommend you submit your plans to City staff and we
cem advise you accorcjingly.
Plmse feel free to let me know if you have otller questions.

Jane,
I know we spoke about several options regarding this light/antenna pole back in late April/early May of this year. I
also know that any proposals that Sprint/Nextel has for additional antennas or modification to this structure must
be made formally to the school district and they must also go through site plan & building permit review and
approval at the City of Prior Lake. However, Sprint/Nextel has asked me to contact you to ask you the following:
1. Does the City of Prior Lake have any information on the original installation of the light standard - namely
the foundation and pole drawings? If the City does, can Sprint/Nextel get copies?
2. Would the City allow Sprint/Nextel to modify the light standard? The modification would likely involve
welding steel channels to the pipe, adding angles at the base plate, and depending on what info
Sprint/Nextel might get on the foundation - modifying the foundation. Or, would the City allow
Sprint/Nextel to replace it with a slightly sturdier one, in the same area (provided it met the height
restrictions the City has in place)?
Please give me a call or e-mail me with your response. As always, Sprint/Nextel would like to get an answer as
soon as they can.
Thanks,

Communications Tower/Light pole - Nextel Site MN0127
15860 Fishpoint Road
Prior Lake, MN 55372
Dear Mr. Whittington,
I understand Nextel - Sprint is proposing to place three (3) additional communications
antennas and the addition of equipment inside the existing shelter adjacent to the existing
tower/light pole, at the above referenced site address. My understanding is this does not
increase the height of the existing structure, and does not require the construction of any
additional structures. Based on these criteria, the placement of the additional antennas
does not require any building permits or other review by the City.
Please feel free to contact me at 952-447-9812 ifthere are any additional questions.
Sincerely,
a.~
