Application was not complete and lease not resolved. This was to be pulled prior to the
meeting re: a-mail Keith Davis.
Village Manager Michael R. Couzzo, Jr. brought forward this application, which would
provide residents with additional AT&T zone coverage and provide the Village with an
alternate revenue source anticipated to provide approximately $250,000 over a 5-year
period. The Village Manager indicated he wanted to be creative with this tower which
was to be a flag pole with an American flag that AT8~T would maintain; however, if the
Village provided a Tequesta flag to establish a Village identity, the Village would need to
provide the flag and replacements.
MOTION
Vice Chair Okun moved approval of the application for ATBT Mobility to install a
Cell tower on the Public Works Property leased to applicant at 136 Bridge Road.
Board Member Hackett seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 5-0
vote.
PUBLIC COMMENT
None
COMMUNICATION FROM CITIZENS
None
ANY OTHER MATTERS:
Board Member Hackett expressed his opinion that the last couple of months the
applications had been significantly incomplete; the previous month he had not voted on
an application for the Lobster House which he felt was incomplete. Tonight's Tequesta
Towers application had been brought back without complete information, setbacks and
impervious areas should be resolved before being brought to the Board; and he felt this
issue should be resolved. Chair Schauer commented years ago there was a checklist.
Discussion ensued. Ghair Schauer asked the Village Attorney to check on a view
obstruction ordinance because other condos on Beach Road would be re-doing their
pool areas in the future. Mr. Croft pointed out the plans presented tonight were not to
scale; Vice Chair Okun requested when plans were copied and reduced they be marked
"not to scalefl. Attorney Davis indicated the Board should receive a staff report and be
assured all technical requirements were met. Vice Chair Okun felt when the Board
made a recommendation to the Council, then it was CounciPs responsibility to be sure
everything was in order.
