W . 581h Avenue <br /> Nextel Monopole Telecommunications Tower Appeal <br /> AA - 00- 11 - 147/2000080160-24614 <br /> Dear Mr. Gabriel : <br /> This letter will serve to confirm that the above-described application has been denied <br /> pursuant to the Board of County Commissioners ' decision to uphold the above- referenced appeal <br /> and overturn the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board. <br /> Indian River County Ordinances attempt to "reasonably accommodate telecommunication <br /> needs in a non -discriminatory and competitive rY rtiv <br /> . p e neutral manner while <br /> opriate <br /> locations of communications towers and antennas, avoiding an unnecessary proliferation rof new <br /> tower sites and minimizing negative aesthetic impacts of communications towers and antennas ". <br /> The undisputed evidence at the December 12 , 2000 public hearing before the Board of County <br /> Commissioners established that Nextel already has a good quality <br /> signal and is providing personal services within the area which would <br /> be <br /> affected by the proposed antenna tower. Indeed, <br /> 1t 1s undisputed that Nextel seeks to construct the above-described antenna tower for the purpose of <br /> "off loading traffic " based on the volume of projected cellular phone use m the area. <br /> i1 5 Pi 8 <br /> JANUARY 30 , 2001 - 14 - <br /> e111A .k r.. <br /> t � <br /> All <br />
