2. If an application is to construct a new mobile service Support structure, an explanation as
to why the applicant chose the proposed location and why the applicant did riot choose
co-location.
a) The explanation must include a sworn statement from an individual who has
responsibility over the placement of the mobile service support structure
attesting to one of the following:
i. That co-location within the applicant's search ring would not result in the
same mobile service functionality, coverage, and capacity.
ii. That co-location is technically infeasible.
iii. That co location is economically burdensome to the mobile service
provider.
3. If the application is to construct a new mobile service support structure, a construction
plan which describes the proposed rnobile service support structure and the equipment
and network components, including antennas, transmitters, receivers, base stations,
power supplies, cabling, and related equipment that will be placed on or around the new
mobile service support structure.
I his Land Use Permit Application ;attached] is submitted by the Director, St. Croix County
Emergency Support Sere CCs SCCESS On behalf Of St. Croix County ("County") for the
construction of a public-safety t:°:O w;ay radio tower site, inCluding a radio/equipment shelter,
located as described on page one of this Memorandum and further defined within the
application's attached supporting documentation. The Director is responsible for the
placernerrt of the mobile Service support structure" described herein ('the I loultor rower",) and
the County will be the exclusive owner/ operator of this structure. The immediate property the
HOUlton lower will be built or. is ow,ieci by the Wisconsin Department of I ransportatior
("WisD0I and leased to the County under a long-term no-cost agreement. WisDOT also owns
al. land that surrounds the tower. An appropriate and authorized official of WisDOT has signed
the Land Use Permit Application as the ' Property Owner.' the tower will also be built in
compliance with all applicable federal laws; rules, and regulations, including those of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The County
has received a "no hazard" to airspace determination from the FAA and a "Permit to Construct"
the tower Structure from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (Bureau of Aeronautics).
By County Board decree. the SCCESS is responsible for operation of the County's 9-1-1 center
and for providing essential emergency and non-emergency public-safety communications
across the County. as we'J as on and along the St. Croix River (shared responsibility with
Minnesota and the Federai Government), all in Support of public health, safety, and welfare.
SCCFSS serves over three dozen law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, and other
state, county, township, zwd municipal first responder entities. As an integral part of the
County's extensive multi year radio, dispatch, and 9-1-1 upgrade, the SCCESS is building out a
14-site VHF simulcast radio system to ensure county-wide coverage of pagers and two-way
radios, including mobile and portable radios. One remaining needed piece of this project is the
construction of the Hou'.ton Tower (and accompanying radio shelter) to house COUnty-owwned
antennas and radio Communications Ccuiprnent capable of providing said essential public-safety
communications for the 'lulnerouS Users described herein and whom operate in and around
St. Joseph Township and surrounding cities and townships, as well as the nearby St. Croix River.
2
• •
The SCCESS is also provicinq access on the I iouIto n Ioveer to a number of co-locators, incluclinq_
the Minnesota Department of Transportation ('•MnDOI and its broad array of ARMLRI J
the Washington County Sheriff's O(Gcc ("WCSO"), and the Wisconsin Slate Patrol (°WSP"). Like
SCCL=SS, these agencies will be utilizing Jre Houlton I over and the shared shelter space for their
public-safety communications equipment necessary to provide emergency services to the broad
population base they are charged with protecting. MJ and WCSO are financial contributors
to this project: WSP (vis-a vis, WISDOT) is providing the leased land at no charge, entitling all of
these entities to "lifetime, use of the Houlton Tower. The construction of this structure and the
c_o-iocation of these entities will obviate the need for them to individually build additional
mobile service support structures, some of Which would likely be built in SL Croix County.
F,rthermore, in the interest of potentially reducing the number of other such structures in the
area in the future: and in conformity with the County's recently enacted tower ordinance. the
Houlton Tower build specifications provide for space fog at least two future additional
c o locators. such as wireless service providers.
The WisDO1 property was chosen because of its unique position Within the Town of St. Joseph.
its proximity to the St. Croix River, and its location relative to Minnesota. Tne site was also
specifically located to maxim'ze radio cornntunications propagation for the St. Croix County
Sheriff's Office patrol vehicles and pduol boa; (on the SL Croix River): the SL Joseph 1l,I Fire
Department/First Responders; the Somerset F re Department/First Responders; the I Judson and
North I ludson police departments; and others. such as the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resom-ces. The HOUlton 1ovI should provide all of the County's co-locators WSP, MnDOT
(including the Minnesota State Patrol and MnDOT trucks used to maintain/service the new
St. Croix River Crossing), arid WCSO (including agencies it dispatches, inter olio, the Stillwater
and Bayport Police and Fire Departments, Oak Park Heights Police Department, and Lakeview
EMS)-the most advantageous locaton for their respective radio transmissions.
the applicant, or agents on the applicant's heha.f, searched a wide area in the County, as well as
in Minnesota, for a suitable. existing co location site. As a practical matter, no other potential
co-location site within this search area could provide the necessary same mobile service
functionality, coverage, or capacity. No other site was able to accommodate the varied radio
needs of the numerous users, including the ability to provide technical feasibility and radio
coverage, nor provide the needed capacity for tile. volume of two way radio antennas,
microwave dishes, and corresponding coaxial cables that will attach to the Houlton Tower.
In fact, the proposed Houlton Tower will house six (6) miciowave dishes and a minimum of
seven (7) land mobile radio antennas, along JiI corresponding cables. essentially enough to
overwhelm most area towers even without any other users onboard. In addition, no other Site
was able to provide the necessary height for the microwave and land mobile radio antennas.
Because of its elevation above sea levei relative to other towers and structures utilized by the
public-safety users, it is necessary to construct a 330' tower to ensure microwave connectivity
between the users' other sites (.many of the microwave dishes will be toP-mounted on the tower
in order to provide a microwave "path" for one dish on the Houlton Tovver to , sce" another d sh
located at other louver sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and on the Government Center roofl.

Even assuming a suitable co-location site existed. and the SCCESS found none. monthly rental
charges for 20 to 40 years would make the long-term costs economically burdensome to the
County taxpayers and would be contrary to responsible fiscal management. The afore-
mentioned site construction, with the up-front financial and land contributions from the
County's co locators, is in the best interest of the State of Wisconsin and St. Croix County, and
provides the Houlton Tower at the lowest cost to County taxpayers than any other option.
For the record, at the request of the SCCESS, w) the evening of Thursday, March 9, 2017, the
St. Josepl, To.vn Board held a "Public Informaf.on Meeting" at its Town Hall after the meeting
had been publicly "noticed' by the Town Clerk in local ne vspapers in late February and early
March. 2017. The stated purpose of the meeting was to discuss a proposed public. safety radio
tower to be constructed in the Houlton area (the subject of the current application). The Town
Board convened that night and, upon the time stated in the public notice, turned the meeting
over to the SCCFSS for an approximately 30 minute informational meeting and question and
answer period w:th the pub'.ic in attendance. SCCESS was represented by its Director, as well as
Mr. Jeff Nelsor of PSC Alliance, the County's radio Consultants, and Mr. Terry Andersen, the
County's 9-1-1 Manager. Questions from the audience were minimal aril related to some
financial aspects of the tower. the M,nnesota partners (co-locators), and related matters.
There t~:as no stated opposition to the tower by those in attendance.
-
Pursuant to the St. Croix County Coce of Ordinances, Land Use and Development, Section
17.50(D)(2)(c)(1 & 3), all required supporting documentation, including site plans, maps, and
diagrams arc attached. As this is an application to construct a new mobile service support
structure, a construction plan is also attached which describes the proposed mobile service
support structure and the equipment and network components, including antennas,
transmitters, receivers, base stations, power supplies, cabling, and related equipment that will be
placed on or around the new mobile service support structure.
Since the radio equipment shelter is designed only for infrequent, short-term maintenance/
service visits by radio technicians, no private water or sanitary system will be installed.
No structure(s) will be built in a floodplain, public right-of-way, or aeronautical-affected safety
zone, but the tower will be lit in compliance with FAA rules and regulations for such structures in
excess of 200 feet.
Please note, the St. Croix County Register of Deeds advises there is no Warranty Deed recorded
or on file with its office and the "Parcel 4" for the properly of the instant application was retired
in 2015 when the land was transferred from private ownership to the State of Wisconsin
Department of Transportation.
