Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes February 15, 2001 Page 7 Ms. Lingafelt said she is just curious to know if there were other land acquisitions considered in that area. She said it seems to her that a lot of the green area overlaps and her concern is that there will be a dead area that will never be able to be accessed. Ms. Lingafelt said it seems to her that this tower should be located further south. Mr. Mannino said if there becomes a demand from the actual user with NEXTEL, there are some instances where they can go in at a lower level. Mr. _]elleme said with the size of the properties that are there, they were only able to really facilitate the three sites. He said for the property to be available you have to have FAA approval, a willing landowner and also the size of the property. He said those are the three things that drive his process with the Board because they need to meet certain setbacks and things on that line. He said they only had three properties in that ring they were really able to work. The Chair swore in' Mr. Bill Melton. Mr. Bill Melton, Property Owner, addressed the Board in opposition to this conditional use application stating his concern is not only about this tower but the kind of development that a tower is likely to attract. The Chair closed the Public Hearing on Conditional Use Application 262(C). The Chair said to the Board before they move or vote do so only on what has been presented here tonight, Mr. Ritchie said there is a definite need for a tower in that area. The Chair said to the Board in a conditional use we have four criteria's that we must consider. He said the biggest one that would apply is number three. Ms. Lingafelt said in that area there is a need because it is definitely a dead area. She said her only concern is that pocket that will not be accessed in the future.
