                   CABLE SERVICES BUREAU ACTION     July 30, 1999


PETITION SEEKING DECLARATORY RULING THAT CERTAIN LEASE
RESTRICTIONS ARE PREEMPTED BY THE COMMISSION'S OVER-THE-AIR
RECEPTION DEVICES RULE


     The Commission has received a Petition for Declaratory Ruling from John Sabrowski asking
the Commission to determine whether the Stuart Management Corporation's lease agreement for the
Carver Lake Townhomes ("Stuart") contains provisions restricting installation and placement of
television antennas and satellite dishes that are preempted by Section 1.4000 of the Commission's
rules.  The Petition alleges that the Stuart lease agreement violates the Commission's rule preempting
restrictions that impair installation, maintenance or use of over-the-air reception devices (satellite
dishes and antennas) by requiring prior approval and imposing unreasonable expense.  Carver Lake
Townhomes are a rental property located in Woodbury, Minnesota.

     Parties may file responses to the Petition on or before August 30, 1999 and replies on or
before September 14, 1999.  Please place the case identifier, CSR-5421-O, on all filings.

     The Petition is available for public inspection in the Commission's Reference Information
