� � r <br />Chairman Eggert reported that she has been getting phone <br />calls from people concerned about the strobe lights on the <br />proposed tower, and Planning Director Stan Boling explained that <br />while our ordinances call for strobe lights during the day, there <br />can be red lights at night. There can be a dual lighting system. <br />Commissioners Wheeler and Scurlock pointed out that from a <br />pilot's viewpoint, strobe lighting catches the eye Bette- than <br />red lights. <br />Chairman Eggert asked if there is some way this tower could <br />be like the one at Central Assembly of God, and Director Keating <br />stated that staff will look into it to see if there is a <br />difference in the intensity of the lights. He recalled that a <br />year or so ago we went through several meetings on strobe <br />Lighting, and it was determined that strobe lighting was the best <br />solution both medically and safety -wise. <br />The Chairman opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard in this matter. <br />Bob Tenbus, owner of an aviation business at the airport, <br />asked if this special exception approval required any FAC permit <br />and if the exact location of this tower would be 6 or 7 miles <br />away from the Vero Beach Airport. He recalled that when we <br />discussed the constrLrction of the tower at the Central Assembly <br />of God, the Board was going to have staff address an area where <br />the towers could be concentrated rather than scattered throughout <br />the county. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt the intent at that public hearing <br />was that whenever possible to have more users use the same tower, <br />and Director Boling pointed out that while this request is being <br />considered under the old land use regulations, the Board can add <br />a condition that they would have to make space for someone else <br />on the tower. <br />DEC 4 1990 13 <br />
