King Plant cooling tower construction. The height variance in question is actually to the 35' St. Croix Bluffland Ordinance standard, rather than the city's 45' standard. We are glad to see that the towers will be pulled back to meet the 40' bluffline setback. When . we met on-site with Xcel, we encouraged the use of earth or summer vegetation tones for the new structures. We would not oppose the granting of the variance because the towers are needed to meet water quality discharge standards. We would also encourage a landscaping plan that will provide for continued screening of as much of the structures as possible. If you have any questions, please contact me at 651-772-7915.
