As far as the crop dusters go, they operate in <br />more hazardous conditions than are presented here in Florida, and <br />they are aware of towers, guy wires, high tension wires, and tall <br />tree lines. That is part of their business. Chairman Wheeler <br />advised that the FAA has also said that the structure would not <br />increase other existing or planned IFR operations. <br />Bob Wilson of Vista Plantation understood this tower was <br />going to be used for commercial purposes, and felt that changes <br />the zoning of the property. <br />Paula Kauffman, 6435 20th Street, advised that they live a <br />half a mile just east of the church property. Her family owns 12 <br />acres of property there, and they are in favor of the tower. <br />Leon Gainer, pastor of the Good Shepherd Church in Winter <br />Beach also spoke in favor of the tower. As a pilot, he agreed <br />with Chairman Wheeler that the tower would not pose any problems <br />to the flying public. <br />Hank Tiska of Vista Plantation objected to the tower because <br />of the hazard it poses to small planes, especially crop dusters. <br />Tony Matulonis of Vista Plantation pointed out that that if <br />you listen to WTTB on Sunday mornings, there are a number of <br />denominations preaching to the area. Whether the children are <br />listening or not, he did not know, but he doubted it. Being <br />old-fashioned in the ways of raising children, he felt children <br />should get their direction from their parents in the home. <br />Daniel Clark, member of Central Assembly of God, believed <br />this Christian radio station would be enjoyed by people of all <br />ages, and would bring many benefits to this community. <br />Bob Kerr spoke in opposition to the tower on behalf of many <br />residents in Vista Plantation who disagree that this is a clear <br />cut issue. He stressed that nothing that has been said here this <br />morning to change their minds. <br />Varina Green spoke in favor of the tower. She felt that if <br />we had to consider every telephone pole and tree out there with <br />respect to safety and aesthetics, we really would be in a mess. <br />30 <br />
