Board conditionally approves NDOT microwave dish on PB tower pending structural analysis
Summary
NDOT's request to mount a three-foot microwave dish on the PB tower was approved by the board on condition that a fresh structural analysis be submitted and the company install ice shielding.
The board approved NDOT's request to place a three-foot microwave dish on the PB tower, with the installation to be contingent on a new structural analysis and appropriate ice shielding.
A staff member noted the dish would be about 50 feet up on the northeast leg and should be below some existing dishes; "I see no significant issues with this," the staff member said, while another board member recommended that the district obtain an updated structural analysis if NDOT plans additional loading. The board's motion explicitly required the updated structural analysis prior to installation.
The board's approval included the condition that NDOT provide a fresh structural analysis prepared by the district's approved vendor and that the agency install an ice shield to protect the dish from weather damage. The board recorded the motion and carried it by voice vote.
