The subject site is approximately one mile <br />south of S.R. 60 and 3 miles west of I-95. The tower will be <br />located in the middle of several hundred acres of groves owned by <br />Lykes Brothers, in an area presently used as a compound for <br />agricultural operations. The tower will be accessory to Lykes <br />Brothers agricultural operations and will be used for the company's <br />communication needs. In conjunction with the special exception <br />request, the applicant has submitted a request for minor site plan <br />approval which has been granted by the Technical Review Committee <br />(TRC) subject to approval of the special exception use. <br />Pursuant to Section 971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of County <br />Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the requested <br />use based on the submitted site plan and the suitability of the <br />site for that use. The Board may approve, approve with conditions <br />or deny the special exception use. The County may attach any <br />conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to <br />ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area. <br />At its December 12, 1991 meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />unanimously voted to recommend that the Board of County <br />Commissioners grant special exception approval. If the Board of <br />County Commissioners grants special exception approval, the minor <br />site plan approval will become effective. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />1.
