12.A. COUNTY ATTORNEY - BRIAN WEST (WESTCO - (SEBASTIAN <br />JOINT VENTURE) PROPERTY - 10 -FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY STRIP AT <br />THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF ROSELAND ROAD AND US #1 <br />Mr. Feldman, a representative of Westco Development asked for this item to be <br />deferred as Westco Development Councel were not able to appear today. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Ginn, the Board by a 4-1 vote, (Commissioner <br />Neuberger opposed) approved deferment of this item to a <br />later date. <br />13.13.1 VICE CHAIRMAN GINN - RESOLUTION 2003-044 IN <br />OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 1307 - TELECOMMUNICATIONS <br />EMERGENCY BILL <br />Commissioner Ginn strongly believes that House Bill 1307 is unnecessary. This <br />Bill is allowing the wireless industry to build or add to cellular towers regardless of local <br />zoning laws. She feels that the wireless companies have approached the Legislature in <br />an attempt to elude our County Ordinance. Commissioner Ginn encouraged the Board <br />to adopt a resolution addressed to our Legislative Representatives advising them that <br />House Bill 1307 is inappropriate and that the local counties need to maintain control. <br />She also made inquiry as to how many permits have been issued to wireless carriers. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating responded that over the last 5 or <br />6 years they had issued 2 to 3 dozen permits. <br />Commissioner Neuberger commented that he and Commissioner Lowther, while <br />in Tallahassee, confronted a couple of legislators and they felt the Bill would be defeated. <br />APRIL 8, 2003 18 <br />
