UM JONATHAN YATES WAS ALSO ESPECIALLY REQUESTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT COMMUNICATION TOWER.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. . HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.

FIRST AND FOREMOST THIS IS NOT FIRST TOWER IN BEAUFORT COUNTY BUT I ALWAYS HAVE TO BOTHER SOME OF THESE NICE LADIES OVER THERE. THE BEAUTY OF HILLARY AND MISS

[00:05:03]

LISA THEY NEVER LAUGH AT ME ON THE PHONE NO MATTER HOW MANY STUPID QUESTIONS I ASK.

I THINK ONCE HILLARY HANGS UP SHE GOES OH MY GOD, HE'S NOT COMING BACK AS A GOOD TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY OF AND I ALSO HAVE TO THANK MY MIKE ON THE CYNTHIA SUE PROPOSED ON THEIR PROPERTY AT A BRICKYARD POINT THE FACILITY IS FOR VERIZON WIRELESS AND DESIGNED IN ADDITION FOR THREE ADDITIONAL BROADBAND CARRIERS. I WAS OUT THAT WAY THIS AFTERNOON AND BOTH OF MY PHONES REALLY EFFECTIVE ONLY AS PAPERWEIGHTS COVERAGE IS AWFUL WHILE I JOKE ABOUT IT IT'S NOT FAIR TO FOLKS THAT LIVE OUT THERE. IT'S REALLY NOT FAIR IF YOU WALK RICHLAND COUNTY, GREENVILLE COUNTY, MOST PARTS OF CHARLESTON COUNTY YOUR PHONE WORKS. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE FOLKS ON THE ISLAND THAT THEY HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT KIND OF COVERAGE IN YEAR 2026 WE WENT TO WORK ON THIS AND THEN I HAVE USE MY TEAM AS CAROLYN FASEL LAURIE AND DAVID HOCKEY OF CO THIS WAS ON ASSIGNMENT FOR VERIZON VERIZON DESPERATELY HAS A NEED THERE AND THEY WANT TO FIX IT FOR THE FOLKS OUT THEY WENT TO WORK AND THEY LOCATED AND MICHAEL AGREED TO IT A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WAS RIGHT WHERE VERIZON WANTED TO BE. A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE PROPERTY.

IT'S 8.6 ACRES ZONED TO MICHAEL AND CYNTHIA HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE 2007.

THE ON THE PROPERTY WAS BUILT IN 1998 WITH A 1999 ADDITION AND IF YOU GET A CHANCE THEY'RE VERY HOSPITAL FOLKS YOU GOT TO SEE IT JUST A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF PROPERTY.

BUT WHAT MEANT FOR US WE HAD THE 8.6 ACRES. WE HAD WHERE VERIZON WANTED TO BE. MICHAEL HAD NO PROBLEM AT ALL. THE COUNTY REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE A 50 FOOT FORESTED BUFFER AROUND THE PERIMETER. HE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH THAT BECAUSE HE'S GOT MORE THAN THAT. A 50 FOOT FORESTED BUFFER NOW OUT THERE TODAY BET ANYWHERE BETWEEN 65 70% OF THE PROPERTY IS TREE COVER AND THAT'S THE WAY THEY WANT TO KEEP IT. SO WE WERE ABLE GET THIS LOCATION IN WHERE VERIZON WANTED IT ON AN INCREDIBLE OF PROPERTY. THE FACILITY ITSELF IS WHAT WE CALL THE MONOPOLE WHAT IS A MONOPOLE MONOPOLE IS JUST A PYLON IT WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE WHAT YOU SEE FOR A SIGN IN FRONT OF A HARDEE'S OR A WAL-MART IF SO OURS THE STEEL IS SO MUCH THICKER THE HEIGHT OF THIS IS HUNDRED AND 45 FEET AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT HEIGHT WE ARE 145 FEET WITH THE MONOPOLE AND A FOUR FOOT LIGHTNING ROD AND BEAUFORT COUNTY IF YOU'RE A 150 FEET OR GREATER YOU HAVE TO PUT LIGHTING ON TOP OF THE TOWER AND WE WANTED TO KEEP IT UNDER UNDER THAT THRESHOLD BECAUSE IF ANYTHING CAN SOMETIMES BOTHER NEIGHBORS, THEY DON'T LIKE THE LIGHTS. SO WE ON THAT I HAVE I'LL GET YOU TO HELP ME DAVID IF YOU DON'T MIND, I APOLOGIZE. THIS IS A VERY HIGH TECH ROOM WHICH WE WERE TO GET HERE. NOT ONLY WAS IT ME BOTHERING HILARY AND LISA WE WENT THROUGH SO ALL RIGHT WHEN I SAID LOW TECH I DIDN'T MAKE IT. WE HAD TO GO THROUGH A SERIES OF FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATORY. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DO IS WE HAVE A FACILITY REVIEWED BY THE FAA IN THIS CASE YOU'LL SEE THE FAA I HIGHLIGHTED FOR YOU MADE TWO IMPORTANT FINDINGS FIRST DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD AIR NAVIGATION.

SECONDARILY, THEY FOUND THAT MARKING AND LIGHTING ARE NOT NECESSARY.

IN ADDITION, THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA THEIR SHIP SO OFF IS THE STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE AND THEY CAME WITH TWO IMPORTANT FINDINGS NO EFFECT ON ANY HISTORIC ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES IN THE AREA WHEN WE GO TO THE DESIGN OF THE TOWER AND I'LL SHOW YOU THIS FIRST THAT WE HAVE A LEASE AREA EQUIVALENT TO THE FAULT ZONE ON WHAT IS A FALL ZONE THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE A MONOPOLE AND I PROMISE NOT TO BREAK THE EQUIPMENT WHERE'S THAT GENTLEMAN WHO'S GOING TO BE WATCHING ME THINK OF A STRAW WHAT A MONOPOLE WAS DESIGNED TO DO IN A CATASTROPHIC 1000 YEAR EVENT THE STEEL IS BUILT UP FROM BASE.

SO WHAT? IT HAPPENS LIKE A STRAW. IT BENDS OVER A LITTLE BIT, DOESN'T ACTUALLY FALL BUT JUST SITS THERE AND DANGLES IN CASE. SOUTH CAROLINA PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER KEITH TINDALL DID TWO IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST OF ALL, HE'S CERTIFYING THE STEEL 139 MILES PER HOUR. THAT IS THE ANSWER TO TO 22 STANDARD FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY.

I LIVE JUST TO THE IN CHARLESTON COUNTY AND I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THIS FALL WE DO NOT SEE 139 MILES PER HOUR IN EITHER OF OUR COUNTIES. THERE IT IS.

[00:10:02]

IN ADDITION HE DESIGNED THE STEEL WITH A WHAT WE CALL A 50 FOOT FALL RADIUS.

AGAIN THINK OF THE STRAW IT'LL DANGLE OVER 50 FEET. WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE TOP BUT IT DOES NOT FALL LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. THANK YOU, DAVID.

YES. WHAT I'M TRYING TO SHOW AND MAYBE I'M DOING MAYBE I'M NOT A LOT OF WORK CAME HERE TONIGHT. BEAUFORT COUNTY HAS A VERY INTENSIVE ORDINANCE AND IN EACH CASE WE MET EVERY REQUIREMENT FIRST ONE OF THE FIRST REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE TO BE HEIGHT OF THE TOWER WHICH IN CASE IS 149 FEET PLUS 50 FEET AWAY FROM AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL DWELLING. MICHAEL AND CYNTHIA'S HOUSE IS 257 FEET AWAY.

WE HAVE TO BE 500 FEET PLUS THE HEIGHT OF THE TOWER AWAY FROM AN OCR, A CRITICAL LINE THAT'S 649 FEET. THERE'S NO CRITICAL LINE WITHIN 649 FEET OF THE TOWER.

WE TO BE 500 FEET FROM A MAJOR ARTERIAL OR COLLECTOR ROAD. WE'RE ACTUALLY 548 FEET FROM BRICKYARD POINT. SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES WHERE EVERYTHING CAME TOGETHER NICELY. AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

EXACTLY THE CARRIER NEEDED TO BE AND WE WERE ABLE TO MEET ALL THE CRITERIA OF YOU FOR COUNTY LET'S GO FORWARD IF THIS AND I HOPE YOU DO BUT WE'LL FIND OUT DEIGNS TO APPROVE THIS GOING FORWARD IT TAKES DAVID AND CARRIES PEOPLE ABOUT 45 TO 60 DAYS TO ACTUALLY BUILD THE TOWER MOST OF THAT TIME IS WHEN THE FOUNDATION SET THE TOWER ITSELF WILL BE STACKED IN DAY THEN VERIZON AND WITH OTHER CARRIERS WHEN THEY'RE READY THEY'LL COME ON AND PUT THEIR EQUIPMENT AFTER THAT ON AVERAGE VERIZON WILL PROBABLY VISIT THE SITE MAYBE 8 TO 10 TIMES A YEAR. SO WE'RE NOT CREATING ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ON PARTICULAR POINT MOST OF THESE TOWERS IT'S ALL OPERATE REMOTELY FROM NATIONAL OPERATION CENTERS BUT A COUPLE TIMES YEAR TECH WILL COME OUT TO CHECK ON IT.

THE FACILITY ITSELF NO NOISE, ODOR, LIGHTS, VIBRATION FUMES OR GLARE.

I TOLD YOU WHAT IT DOESN'T DO IS TALK ABOUT WHAT IT DOES DO. IT PROVIDES WIRELESS BROADBAND AND VOICE TO THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THAT IS ESSENTIAL IN 2026.

YOU KNOW I GREW UP IN MY HOUSE THERE WAS A PHONE IN THE KITCHEN YOU, WANTED TO TALK TO SOMEONE. YOU HAD TO GO TO THE KITCHEN BECAUSE THEY THEY LAUGH WHEN THEY HEAR THAT WHAT IS A PHONE BECOME A PHONE IS BECOME A PERSON BUT THAT ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU HAVE COVERAGE ANOTHER. IMPORTANT FACTOR TO KEEP IN MIND IS PEOPLE LIKE MY SON AND AGAIN I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DOING IS LIKE HE KRAZY GLUE THE PHONE TO HIS HAND IT'S ALWAYS IN HIS HAND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING ON IT BUT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE TO WHAT I THINK IS ESSENTIAL IS THE ACCESS TO 911 FIRST RESPONDERS FIRE POLICE EMS YOU HAVE A SITUATION YOU SEE A SITUATION YOU SEE SOMEONE DRIVING CRAZY. YOU SEE A FIRE.

YOU CALL IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE PHONE IS ON YOUR HIP. WELL THAT ONLY IF YOUR PHONE CAN GET A CALL OUT. I KNOW IN I THINK IT WAS 2018 THERE WAS A CRUMMY FIRE OUT AT PLEASANT POINT MY IS WITH INCREASED COMMUNICATIONS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS HOPEFULLY MORE FOLKS CAN CALL IN THEY CAN FIND NUMBERS CALL IN QUICKER RESPONSE TIMES.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE END OF THE DAY KNOW WE'RE PROVIDING INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE'RE PROVIDING IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THE FOLKS NEED AND I THINK IN THIS CASE WE'RE DOING IT IN A WAY WE MEET THE ORDINANCE AND I THINK MICHAEL CYNTHIA HAVE OFFERED US THE PERFECT PIECE OF PROPERTY IF YOU TAKE A LOOK THE PROPERTY INCREDIBLE TREE COVER AND EXACTLY WHERE WE NEED BE PEOPLE JOKE ABOUT ME THAT TAKES ME 6 MINUTES JUST TO SAY MY NAME.

I APOLOGIZE BUT I'M HERE FOR ENDING ALL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME ? THE APPLICANT I DON'T YOU KNOW . THANK YOU, SIR AT THIS TIME CAN WE HEAR FROM THE COUNTY BEFORE ? YEAH. OKAY.

THAT'S JUST TOO CONVENIENT. HILLARY OKAY. AS YOU READ THE REPORT THEY MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS SO FAR FOR TOWERS OF THE CODE SO THEY CAME TO THE SRT FOR THE CONCEPTUAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD AND WE LOOKED AT ALL THE THE 50 FOOT BUFFER AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY YOU KNOW ALL THE SETBACKS THAT HE SPOKE ABOUT.

AND ONE GOOD THING IS THAT THE TOWER ISN'T GOING TO BE LIT SO YOU WON'T HAVE THAT BLINKING LIGHT AT NIGHT. SO THAT'S A GOOD THING. VISUAL IMPACT THAT THEY DID

[00:15:05]

THAT THE TREES SORT OF HIDE THE TOWER WE WONDERFUL SO WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND THEY'LL COME BACK FOR FINAL AND WE'LL MAKE SURE ALL OF THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY?

[9. Public Comment. (Limited to three (3) Minutes). ]

WELL, WE WILL NOT OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND YOU CAN DID YOU FILL OUT ONE OF THESE FORMS? DID YOU SIGN ONE OF THESE FORMS HERE? IF YOU DON'T MIND, COULD YOU SIGN IF ANYONE THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC COMMENT PLEASE FILL OUT ONE OF THESE FORMS SO THAT WE COULD CALL YOU GUYS UP SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP PUBLIC MICHAEL'S CIVIL SUIT SO YES OKAY.

I'M JUST TO TO LANDOWNER AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP AND ADDRESS OR JONATHAN COVERED SO I DIDN'T KNOW WE ARE LOOKING I IN THE HOUSE MY WIFE AND I 19 YEARS WE THOUGHT SERVICE SPRINT VERIZON EVERYTHING TRYING TO GET SERVICE OUT THERE AND I HAD A BUSINESS I WAS RUNNING OUT OF THE HOUSE IT WAS DIFFICULT IT REALLY WAS LIKE I SAID I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR A LONG TIME TO GET A TOWER OUT THERE SO I THINK IT'S BENEFICIAL FOR EVERYBODY OUT THERE. I GOT NEIGHBORS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD REALLY LOVE TO HAVE BETTER CELL SERVICE OUT THERE. SO THANK YOU SO MISS WILLIE COULD BE MR. WILLIE WILLIAM WILLIE WILL STAY UNTIL THE THIRD.

YES. SO MAKE IT EASY ON THE CHAIRMAN BOARD MEMBERS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME. I'M NOT HERE TO OPPOSE THIS CELL TOWER AND I'LL JUST BE FRANK WITH YOU. THE LETTER CAME TO MY HOUSE LAST NIGHT. OPEN IT LAST NIGHT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS HEARING TOO LATE LAST NIGHT SO I PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER ROUGHLY TODAY I THINK WHAT MR. JONATHAN AND HIS TEAM HAS DONE ALONG WITH MS.. HILLARY THEIR TEAM I'M SURE IT MEETS ALL THE SETBACKS, ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THE ONLY THING THAT WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT TODAY IS THAT OUR PROPERTY I'M AN ADJACENT LANDOWNER BESIDE CYNTHIA AND MICHAEL SO SO ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTY ONLY WE OWN TEN ACRES RIGHT BESIDE THEM.

OUR PIECE OF PROPERTY IS LANDLOCKED. ABOUT THE LAST YEAR OR SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MR. ARE TRYING TO GET ACCESS EASEMENT TO OUR PROPERTY SO MY BIGGEST QUESTION TO THE BOARD TONIGHT IS THERE IS A 50 FOOT WOODED BUFFER FOR THIS TO BE PUT ON THIS PROPERTY AND MICHAEL AND CITY AND I HAVE SORT OF TALKED I'M STILL TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO MY PROPERTY IS THIS TO PREVENT MY ABILITY TO TRY TO GET AN EASEMENT BE IT PRESCRIPTIVE BE IT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO BUY ACCESS TO MY PROPERTY IS CELL TOWER WITH THEIR REQUIREMENTS GOING TO PREVENT ME FROM MY PROPERTY AND THAT'S MY QUESTION TO THE BOARD AND I APOLOGIZE MRS. ALSTON THAT I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THIS YOUR ATTENTION IN YOUR OFFICE INTENTION EARLIER TO DO THIS BUT AGAIN LIKE I SAID I KNOW THE LETTER WAS SENT OUT ON THE TIME REQUIREMENTS THE NOTIFICATION AND IN THE PUBLIC FORUM WAS MET I'M SURE IT'S JUST THAT THE LETTER GOT TO MY DESK OR MY HOUSE YESTERDAY I OPENED IT HENCE WHY I'M HERE TODAY. RIGHT SO TO ANSWER QUESTION I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT.

YES SIR. MAYBE THE COUNTY CAN HELP YOU OR MAYBE YOU CAN JUST YOU KNOW, SEEK SOME KIND LEGAL RIGHT ADVICE BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE THE ANSWERS AND THAT'S WHAT I MEAN AGAIN I MEAN I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE CELL TOWER BUT THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT YOU KNOW, IF THIS CELL TOWER IS GOING TO PREVENT ME FROM GAINING ACCESS TO MY PROPERTY THEN 100% ABSOLUTE I'M OPPOSED TO IT. BUT IF IT'S NOT IN THE EASEMENT WE'LL STILL COME THROUGH THERE WITHOUT MESSING UP THE REQUIREMENTS. YOU KNOW, FOR THESE GUYS I WANT MORE SELF COVERAGE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE ISLAND, RIGHT? I MEAN I OWN PROPERTY ON COURSE SAINT HELENA STUFF AND I THINK WE NEED COVERAGE BUT THAT'S A QUESTION THAT I HAVE NOT GIVEN THEIR TEAM AN OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER SO I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT JUST RECEIVING THIS HEARING NOTICE LAST NIGHT RIGHT NONETHELESS ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES MAY HAVE MORE INSIGHT ON IT IF NOT BEEN IS WE DON'T GET INVOLVED IT ACCESS EASEMENT TO PROPERTIES SO IF HE'S GOING TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNERS THEN THEY HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GET TO THE PROPERTY ARE BUFFER STANDS THAT I HAVE AND I THINK WE'VE JUST MET I MEAN WE I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OWNER STUFF LIKE THAT.

I'VE TALKED WITH JONATHAN BUT I DID READ REQUIREMENTS, I DID READ THE CODE AND THERE IS A

[00:20:03]

SET BACK BUFFER OF 50 FEET AS JONATHAN SO YOU KNOW STATED EARLIER IF I NEED TO COME THROUGH THAT 50 FOOT TO GAIN ACCESS TO PROPERTY CAN I THINK I DON'T KNOW I'M ASKING QUESTIONS THAT I KNOW Y'ALL DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO AND I APOLOGIZE FOR ASKING THESE QUESTIONS IT'S LIKE IF I IF THEY AGREE ON AN EASEMENT THEN THE GIVER OF THE HE'S MEANT WOULD HAVE TO MOVE THE 50 FOOT BUFFER INTO THEIR PROPERTY AWAY FROM THE EASEMENT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT 50 FOOT BUFFER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. IT'S JUST THAT IF HE GETS A TEN FOOT EASEMENT ON THE PROPERTY LINE THEN THE 50 FOOT BUFFER STARTS RIGHT AFTER THAT.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THEY HAVE TO WORK OUT, YOU KNOW? I MEAN THAT'S ABOVE OUR PAY GRADE HERE TO ASK THE QUESTION BUT YES SIR I WOULD GUARANTEE IF YOU WERE TO GO BACK TO THE COUNTY ALONG WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS I'M QUITE YOU GUYS CAN WORK SO WELL I BET A LOT OF STUPID QUESTIONS MISS AUSTEN THE YEARS AND TRUST ME SHE DIDN'T LAUGH AT MINE EITHER SO I'VE DONE A LOT OF STUFF WITH THEM BUT I MEAN I'M MORE AMENABLE TO TRYING TO WORK THAT OUT BUT I GUESS TODAY NOT KNOWING THE ANSWER TO THAT EASEMENT APPROVAL AM I OPPOSED TO IT TODAY IF I KNEW THAT I COULD GET THAT EASEMENT AND WE CAN WORK THAT THROUGH THAT I'D SAY ABSOLUTELY NOT. HOWEVER, YOU KNOW IN IN MY LETTER I SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD YOU KNOW IT TALKED ABOUT BUFFERS THINGS THAT NATURE BUT I THINK JONATHAN'S ALREADY ANSWERED MINE IS DO WE HAVE A TIME PERIOD TO MAKE THIS EASEMENT HAPPEN, YOU KNOW, A DELAY GOING TO THE WRONG PARTY? I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I MEAN, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO APPROVE IT, YOU KNOW, THEN HOW DO YOU GET THROUGH NOW? I DON'T I THROUGH IT'S WOODED.

IT'S COMPLETELY WOODED. SO WE JUST WALK THROUGH MR. WASHINGTON FRED WASHINGTON OWNS PROPERTY BUT YOU DON'T YOU DON'T HAVE A HOUSE OR A NO MA'AM.

IT IS JUST VACANT AG VACANT RIGHT NOW SO YEAH WE'RE LOOKING TO DEVELOP YOU KNOW, INTO A SMALL AREA, YOU KNOW, POSSIBLY PUT HOME BACK HERE HENCE WHY HOW THIS GOING TO ADVERSELY AFFECT MY ABILITY TO DO THAT. SO WITH THIS EASEMENT YOU WERE HOPING TO THIS EASEMENT TO ACCESS YOU? ABSOLUTELY YES, SIR. YEAH.

I DON'T I COULDN'T ANSWER AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I KNOW THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO WORK OUT WITH THE HOME OR THE PROPERTY OWNERS, YOU KNOW, PETITION FOR THIS YOU KNOW, ALONG HOPEFULLY WITH THE SUPPORT OF MS. ALSTON AND HER TEAM. YEAH.

YES YOU TO DO THAT AND IF THAT'S POSSIBLE THEN YOU KNOW VERY MUCH NOT OPPOSED TO THE CELL TOWER GOING UP. WELL I WOULD RECOMMEND JUST GETTING WITH THE PROPERTY AND MAYBE WITH THE COUNTY AND SEE WHAT YOU GUYS CAN WORK OUT ON THAT.

AND I BELIEVE THERE'S ANOTHER HEARING PRIOR TO THE FINAL APPROVAL ON THIS CORRECT.

YOU HAVE TO GO IT WOULDN'T BE HERE FOR FINAL YOU HAVE TO THEY WILL HAVE FINAL BUT NOT QUITE COMING BACK TO THE CITY CORRECT. YEAH YEAH YEAH BUT THAT IS I THINK THAT'S THE ISSUE THAT A SITUATION THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO PROBABLY ABSOLUTELY I MEAN NOW THAT I'VE NOTIFIED YOU KNOW I'M ON IT THAT I WILL FOLLOW UP YOU KNOW, UP TO THE FINAL APPROVAL PROCESS ONCE NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN MADE IF WE HAVE NO MOVEMENT ON THAT.

IS REQUESTING A SPECIAL OF VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A FENCE THAN FOUR FEET.

GOOD AFTERNOON. HUSBAND STARTED A NEW JOB THIS WEEK.

COULD YOU JUST HOLD ON ONE MOMENT LET THEM EXIT THE ROOM? THANK YOU.

YOU COULD PROCEED. MY HUSBAND STARTED NEW JOB THIS WEEK SO I AM JESSICA MARSDEN.

WE ARE TRYING TO GET A VARIANCE TO HAVE A FOOT FENCE ON THE SIDE OF OUR YARD INSTEAD OF A FOUR FOOT FENCE BECAUSE OF WHERE WE ARE LOCATED. WHEN CARS DRIVE INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE, HEADLIGHTS GO DIRECTLY INTO OUR BACKYARD AND INTO LIVING ROOM AND IT IS VERY BRIGHT AND VERY DISTRACTING AND AT NIGHTTIME MAKES OUR LIVING ROOM RIDICULOUSLY BRIGHT.

WE TRIED PLANTING SHRUBS THERE BUT WE AN OAK TREE RIGHT AT THAT POSITION AND NOTHING CAN LIVE AROUND THE OAK TREE AT THAT POSITION. AND WE ALSO BECAUSE OF WHERE

[00:30:06]

WERE LOCATED. EVERYBODY COMING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAN SEE RIGHT INTO THE BACKYARD. WE ALSO HAVE TWO VERY ATHLETIC CHILDREN THAT PLAY SOFTBALL FREQUENTLY IN THE BACKYARD AND THE HIGHER FENCE HELPS WITH THE NEIGHBORS NOT SOFTBALLS IN THEIR YARD ON A FREQUENT BASIS WITH A PITCHER IT'S DONE QUITE OFTEN.

WE DO NOT IMPART ANYBODY ELSE'S VIEWS. THIS IS THE SIDE OF OUR HOUSE.

AS YOU COME INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT LITERALLY JUST KEEPS THE PRIVACY AND THE LIGHTS OUT OF THE LIVING ROOM, WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT TO PUT CURTAINS OVER THE WINDOWS? WELL, THE WINDOWS ON THE TOP ARE ACTUALLY 11 FEET IN THE AIR SO IT'S NOT REALLY AN OPTION ALONG. HAVE YOU STAYED ON THIS PROPERTY? WE MOVED INTO THE PROPERTY LAST DECEMBER A YEAR AGO, A YEAR AND A MONTH. WE BUILT THE HOUSE A YEAR AND A MONTH AGO.

YOU HELP ME HELP ME OUT TO IDENTIFY YOUR HARDSHIP AGAIN LIKE WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? WHAT WOULD MAKE YOUR PROPERTY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER PROPERTY THAT WE WOULD GRANT YOU A HIGHER FENCE, A FOUR FEET VERSUS ANYONE ELSE. SO AS YOU ARE PULLING TO EVERY CAR THAT COMES IN THEIR, HEADLIGHTS ARE GOING STRAIGHT INTO OUR BACK YARD.

WE ARE ONLY ONES ON A CORNER LIKE THAT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IT'S GOING INTO YOUR BACKYARD IS THE LIGHT THAT YOU COME INTO MY BACKYARD WHICH MY LIVING ROOM IS OFF MY BACK YARD.
