1:25:41all in favor? Aye. Aye. Madam Chair, is it okay if we move to P76?

1:25:46Sure.

1:25:47Thank you. Item P seventy-six was published in the Tampa Bay Times on May 4th, 2022.

1:25:54MP76 is PDD 22CU 14. It's a conditional use in the name of Duke Energy Florida Inc. for a 315-foot above-ground level self-supported wireless communications facility in an AC agricultural district. There was an issue with the newspaper notice on this item. So the Planning and Development Department is asking for continuance to the July 12th, 2022 Board of County Commissioners meeting at 130 in day. City. I realize that that's not the way that it was advertised for today, so if you would please take public comment, but that's

1:26:24a request for continuance.

1:26:25So I have a question. Um when we say l um latticed.

1:26:30Yeah.

1:26:31So it's not a pole. It's not a pole. And why why can't it be a pole?

1:26:36So um as you're probably going to see in the near future, when it's that tall, you're not gonna see a pole. It's 315 feet. Um it's actually three 300 with a 15-foot lightning rod. So at that height, you chances are you're either gonna see lattice or you're going to see um guide tie guide wires. Oh. Okay, is this uh is this some special communication This is for Duke Energy specifically, however it's also gonna have co-location opportunities. So it's at the Duke Energy compound.

1:27:07But we don't

1:27:09When did we start allowing 315-foot cell towers?

1:27:12Um well th they uh we're kind of losing our the fact that we've got people from Duke who want to talk about this on the 12th, uh but we do have a um our consultant has stated that it is um there is need for it.

1:27:28And they will have uh their consultants who will speak to that as well. Okay

1:27:32when

1:27:32it is actually.

1:27:35Um I worked hard on that cell tower ordinance with Barbara and other people back in the day.

1:27:48Because you will the the things that you're seeing out there now, the actual um encapsulated the unipoles, they can't support the the size of the equipment anymore. It's a it's sadly I mean it's it's a fact but it's true. Okay, well I look forward

1:28:04to getting educated. Okay, so you need a motion to continue. But we're seeing if anyone else wants to speak to this.

1:28:10First. I have no one signed up and no one's on WebEx for this item. Okay.

1:28:19Sorry.
