NOV 21 98'9 <br />r-• 81 <br />BOOK FAG, <br />enough trees planted, and enough shrubbery planted to adequately <br />screen the blockhouse. <br />COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK AGREED TO MODIFY HIS MOTION to <br />allow staff to work with the church to come up with a <br />proper screening around the blockhouse. <br />Commissioner Bird recalled a 4th of July program presented <br />by the Assembly of God Church at the Vero Beach High School <br />football field last year, which he felt was one of the most <br />moving things he had ever seen in this county. If, somehow, this <br />radio station and this tower can be used to spread that kind of <br />feeling and that kind of message to the people of this county and <br />the surrounding areas, he believed they will have done a tremen- <br />dous service for the people of this county. <br />Commissioner Eggert had looked at a number of similar towers <br />elsewhere in the state to see what was happening to the residents <br />in the area around them, and she, too, went from a feeling that <br />this tower should not be allowed to feeling that it should be <br />approved if it met the special exception criteria in the <br />ordinance and if there was not the intensity of light that seemed <br />to concern so many people. She had talked with a lot of <br />residents that lived within 5000 feet of towers like this, and <br />she would support the Motion because of that. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE MOTION. The Motion was <br />voted on and carried unanimously. <br />Commissioner Bowman announced that we have an opportunity to <br />show our support in having the Indian River Lagoon designated as <br />an Estuary of National Significance and State Land Purchases. <br />She urged everyone interested in this cause to gather on the <br />Merrill Barber Bridge or the Wabasso Bridge on November 24th at <br />32 <br />
