Suitable protective anti -climb fencing and a <br />landscape planting screening shall be provided and <br />maintained around the structure and accessory <br />attachments. Where the first fifty (50) feet of a <br />tower is visible to the public, the applicant shall <br />provide one canopy tree per three thousand (3,000) <br />square feet of the designated fall radius. The <br />trees shall be planted in a pattern which will <br />obscure the base area of the tower, without <br />conflicting with the guy wires of the tower; <br />2. All towers shall submit a conceptual tower lighting <br />plan. Louvers or shields may be required as <br />necessary to keep light from shining down on <br />surrounding properties. Strobe lights must be used <br />unless prohibited by other agencies; <br />3. The reviewing body shall consider the impact of the <br />proposed tower on residential subdivisions near the <br />project site; <br />4. All property owners within six hundred (600) feet <br />of the property boundary shall receive written <br />notice; <br />5. Applicants shall explain in writing why no other <br />existing tower facility could be used to meet the <br />applicant's transmitting/receiving needs.

A condition of approval for any tower application <br />shall be that the tower shall be available for <br />other parties and interests. This shall be <br />acknowledged in a written agreement between the <br />applicant and the county, on a form acceptable to <br />the county, that will run with the land. <br />The applicant has stated that the proposed tower is needed to <br />enhance the services provided to Bell South Mobility's <br />customers in southern portions of Indian River County. In the <br />applicant's assessment, existing towers in the area are <br />inadequate for Bell South Mobility's needs, due to the <br />location and/or height of other existing towers (see <br />attachment #4). It is staff's position that the applicant has <br />met specific land use criterion B.5 by providing 'adequate <br />justification to indicate why no other existing tower could be <br />used to meet its needs. <br />Each of these 14 criteria has been addressed by the applicant. <br />Staff has verified that each criterion is satisfied, with the <br />exception of criterion B.7., which can be satisfied via an <br />approval condition that the applicant enter into an agreement <br />with the county to allow other parties to use the tower. <br />BOOK 96 F,;F54S? <br />NOVEMBER 7, 1995 35 <br />
