Pr- <br />Pr-NOV2� <br />BOOK 78 Du 4 4 <br />area, Attorney Barkett pointed out the properties where the <br />owners have given letters of approval for this use. Those <br />property owners include Intercoastal Group, Peter Robinson of <br />Laurel Homes, Glenn Smith, and another neighbor, Mr. Bradley has <br />said that he has no objection. One neighbor, Mr. Barker, does <br />object to the tower because of its nearness to his home and the <br />intensity of the lights. <br />Attorney Barkett next explained that the cost of <br />constructing the tower is approximately $25,000; the $100,000 <br />cost figure includes the engineering fees, permitting, etc., but <br />if the tower were to be moved, all that would have to be done <br />again. <br />Attorney Barkett wished to address the two concerns that <br />were discussed the most at the P & Z meeting.

However, I do have experience in operating <br />cable distribution plant in the vicinity of radio stations that transmit <br />up to 100,000 watts of power. I have also had contact with cable TV sub- <br />scribers in the area of such radio stations. <br />Cable television distribution plant occasionally develops defective mechan- <br />ical connections which allow very high ambient signals from a powerful <br />FM radio station to:enter the cable and cause interference to area subscribers. <br />Since cable TV systems are supposed to be• a shielded medium, it becomes <br />24 <br />
