BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
This is an application for a major development, revised final site plan, including a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Exemption. The applicant is proposing to increase the height of an approved wireless telecommunications facility (WTCF) by twenty (20) feet. The project is located on an approximate 0.92-acre parcel located on the east side of the terminus of SE Country Club Drive, approximately 1 mile north of the Martin County south boundary. The applicant proposes the tower extension to be camouflaged as a pine tree, consistent with the previous approval, with no changes proposed to the established lease area, ground compound, access, or landscaping.
The Board of County Commissioners approved, with conditions, the development of an 80-foot high wireless telecommunications facility on May 31, 2016 via Resolution Number 16-5.25 (copy attached). Due to the mounting platform, the as-built construction of the tower resulted in a height of 81.2 feet above grade. The current application proposes to add an additional 20 feet to the height to result in a maximum height of 101.2 feet in order to increase the coverage footprint providing a more robust and reliable service.
