Pursuant to the county's height notification and other airport zoning ordinance regulations, the applicant has been notified that it must file a notice of proposed construction form with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), obtain the FAA's determination and comments on the proposed tower, and obtain from county staff either an "airport construction permit" or an "airport obstruction variance". At this time, the applicant has stated to staff that the appropriate notification information has been filed with the FAA. Upon receipt of the FAA's determination, the applicant will apply for a county "airport construction permit" or an "airport construction variance".

(unmanned, electrical equipment building) S. Open Space: Required: 80.0% Provided: 80.28 9. Traffic Circulation: The site is to be accessed via a private grove road driveway that runs north and south on a Fellsmere Farms Drainage District canal right-of-way. This access driveway aligns with 11122nd Avenue" further north. Due to the low traffic generation associated with an unmanned tower site, traffic engineering has approved the proposed access. 10.

Landscape Plan: For towers, such as this one, that exceed 140' in height in agricultural zoning districts, the lowest 50' of the 'tower must be screened from adjacent properties. The existing grove and tree line along the perimeter of the grove will provide the required screening initially. However, in order to ensure future screening, in the event the grove trees are removed in the future, oak trees are proposed to be planted along the north and east perimeters of the tower lease area. Therefore, the specific land use criteria of section 971.44(2) are satisfied. 12. Stormwater Management: The Stormwater Management Plan has been approved by the Public Works Department. 13.
