AGENDA ITEM # 6.4 <br /> c��y o,� <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes�_ - <br /> REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL �'� <br /> Report Prepared by: Dawn Bittner <br /> Date: January 8, 2019 <br /> Subiect: Small Wireless Facility Design Guidelines <br /> Report: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an order <br /> December 10, 2018 regarding aesthetic standards/guidelines for the deployment of <br /> small cell wireless facilities. Pequot Lakes does not have a right-of-way ordinance <br /> or aesthetic guidelines for small cell wireless facilities. If aesthetic <br /> standards/guidelines are not adopted by April 15, 2019, we will be prohibited from <br /> imposing such requirements on applicants seeking to deploy such facilities in <br /> Pequot Lakes thereafter. <br /> In addition, the FCC Order takes effect January 14, 2019. Even if we intend to <br /> adopt aesthetic standards ahead of the April 15 deadline, if we receive applications �� <br /> after January 14 and we do not have standards in place, we will be unable to <br /> impose such standards on those applications. <br /> The City Attorney recommends we adopt the attached aesthetic <br /> standards/guidelines prior to January 14. This will preserve regulatory authority <br /> with respect to any applications submitted before the final standards are approved. <br /> These standards can be reviewed and amended before the April 15 deadline. I <br /> have included the emails from the City Attorney. <br /> Council Action Requested: Council motion adopting the attached Small Wireless <br /> Facility Design Guidelines. <br />
