a.x3m q{} r <br /> Mr . Lepore continued that input is particularly needed for the table on Page 7 . Are <br /> there uses that should be encouraged as administrative permits which were carried forward <br /> from the present ordinance ? No decision is necessary today but consideration should be <br /> given to these items in the near future . <br /> Discussion then ensued regarding the desirability of having facilities located in <br /> conservation areas , possibly on an existing structure , such as a power facility or a flagpole . <br /> Chairman Ginn noted that any facility in a conservation area would have to be a <br /> special exception use which would come to the Board . <br /> Mr . Lepore stated that the Federal Communications Commission raised the spectrum <br /> threshold last week for providers from 45 megahertz to 55 megahertz . That cap will be <br /> eliminated on January 1 , 2003 which will probably mean a consolidation of communication <br /> industries and will prohibit new entries into the marketplace . The practical effect of that <br /> action will be a need for smaller facilities with fewer providers . He emphasized that the <br /> County will definitely need structures along the beach and out west of town because of the <br /> demand but he felt that the central coverage is probably adequate . <br /> Chairman Ginn requested that any communications facilities applications in the MED <br /> district be a special exception application, even for stealth facilities . These uses are almost <br /> always close to residential districts . She specifically mentioned a proposed development of <br /> exclusive homes to be built north of the Barber Bridge and felt that public input would be <br /> necessary . She wanted an opportunity for the public to comment on both new and stealth <br /> towers . <br /> Chairman Ginn questioned the timing for receipt of the master plan , and Mr . Lepore <br /> responded that they have already begun preparing the inventory . <br /> NOVEMBER 13 , 2001 e T. <br /> h <br />
