Madam Chair opened the public hearing.  
Dr. Melissa Morris spoke in opposition stated they would not gain any benefit from a  
cell phone tower proposed location. She stated that there is a null zone that will not  
allow communications to those directly under the tower (approximately 300 feet). She  
recommended another large lot within the vicinity.  
Robert Beltran asked what type of engineer the speaker is and if she was an expert.  
Dr. Morris stated she is an electrical-mechanical engineer, she stated she was not  
precisely an expert in this field.  
Audrey Weaver spoke in opposition stating her home is within 500 feet of the proposed  
sight and voiced concerns of potential health issues, negative affects to the  
environment and wildlife due to the electro-magnet emissions from the cell tower. She  
stated that the negative health effects will cause autism in children and will ultimately  
become a financial risk to tax payers.  
Madam Chair asked if Audrey Weaver is an expert in the field.  
Audrey Weaver responded she has a bachelor in Science, but it is not directly related  
to environmental studies.  
Elizabeth Voss, County Attorney, reminded members of the Planning Commission that  
Federal law prohibits them from considering emissions.  
Dee McCall spoke in opposition and stated the images provided (contained within the  
Power Point presentation) of the tree canopy has been removed in preparation of this  
proposed construction. She stated there would be noise and safety issue for the local  
residents. She stated that the original site that was selected was directly across from  
the owner's son's home and the owner's son stated he did not want the tower directly in  
front of his home and then the proposed site was moved to the current proposed  
location.  
Roy Markly spoke in opposition providing a brief history of the area stating there are 20  
homes on the street and there has been revitalization of this area. This area is located  
in flood zone since it is in close proximity to Spirit Lake. He asked about lighting  
(beacon) in the future on top of the tower and his concern for a flashing light affecting  
them. He commented about the entrance for the property on Spirit Lake Drive.  
Deborah Scott spoke in opposition stated that the drilling for the tower and is  
concerned about their wells. She wants to know what will happen to her well and is  
concerned about her well collapsing and the quality of her water if this is built. She  
does not have a canopy to block her view. She is concerned about the quality of her  
life and household.  
Wayne Scott spoke in opposition. He stated he does not want to view a  
communications tower from his home.  
Linda Forrest spoke in opposition. She stated there is plenty of other places for this  
proposed project. Her recurring migraines will be affected. It is not necessary to locate  
a tower in a densely residential area and there are other open spaces to place a tower.  
She is opposed to the location and feels a more rural location would be a better  
location.  
Edward Forrest spoke in opposition due to its proposed location. He stated there was  
not a need for another tower in the area because there are other towers in this vicinity.  
Madam Chair closed the public hearing.  
Mattaniah Jahn Jahn provided a rebuttal. The location was selected by her to meet  
the distance requirements of Polk County. She spoke regarding the location of  
proposed project in a flood zone and it will be placed on a elevated platform to  
accommodate the flood requirements. SWFMD permits will be required before  
building. A tower of over 200 feet would require a beacon, this tower is not that tall. If  
there is expansion of Spirit Lake Road, there is space. Noise issues has to be  
compliant with Polk County code and are not an issue because the noise level would  
be less than the noise of a four-lane road. A geo-technical report is provided for a level  
2 application. A cell tower has a range of about 3/4 mile. This area is a "gap area" for  
more consistent coverage in the area. Null zones are not factually documented and  
the network, as it is set up, accommodates for null zones.  
Robert Beltran asked of Mattaniah Jahn regarding the outlining of the cell tower  
locations on the map in her presentation and if this represented little or no coverage  
under the tower.  
Mattaniah Jahn explained this was just an outline for contrast and did not represent no  
coverage under the tower's location. She then continued with her rebuttal stating  
information about nimbyism cannot be used as substantial evidence. The request  
meets all of Polk County's code and is over and above compatibility requirements.  
Robert Beltran asked of Erik Peterson if there was another pole existing in this area.  
Erik Peterson explained there used to be a SCADA pole in the area, but it is no longer  
in use and could not be used for this purpose.  
David Dalton asked of staff if this was completely compliant with the Polk County code.  
Erik Peterson confirmed.  
Madam Chair stated that when considering compatibility.

restating the staff's report. She cited the staff report regarding traffic levels and the  
impact of the proposed site. She stated the HOA board knowingly acted against  
majority present regarding this issue.  
Edward Mlotkiewicz spoke in opposition stated that some of the facts stated the  
drainage easement was incorrect. The members of the HOA were not included in this  
agreement by the board members. He spoke regarding the berms and that the access  
is only 18 feet wide and will not allow emergency vehicles to access the property. He  
stated the property should be left residential. He stated that if the land use is changed  
to OCX will not limit to specific type of business.  
Jennifer Anderson spoke in opposition and stated that Oglethorpe is the only access to  
the community and she is concerned about safety. There are not traffic signals and is  
concerned about traffic accidents with the a potential business. School buses come in  
and out during peak hours, as well. The roads are narrow and parking alongside the  
road constricts traffic more.

included in the decision of the HOA board. Because the access is located close to the

the board to keep the property as residential.

Planning Commission should not be considering the disagreement with the HOA and  
the residents of the community.  
Jessie Arias spoke in opposition stating their HOA board is not "in line" with the  
residents of this neighborhood. He stated there is no traffic light from Highway 27 to  
Oglethorpe and the high speed traffic and the blind spot of a right turn to use the  
access to enter this proposed property will cause traffic/safety issues. Adding  
commercial to a residential area of Laurel Estates is causing very big concerns for  
safety.  
Allan Schwartzseid, attorney, spoke regarding the drainage statement. He stated that  
multiple meetings announced via emails to inform the residents of the neighborhood  
and provided information for the residents to request more information from the  
management company. He represents the HOA of Laurel Estates.

of the access as it was stated in meetings with County staff and DOT. He stated they  
are close to an agreement with the HOA for an easement agreement and finalize the  
legal description for the trapezoid area. He stated they are requesting a continuance  
for 30 days / July 12, 2023.

property onto neighboring properties.  
James Abercrombie spoke in opposition stating the roads and sidewalks will be  
proposed that the County will pay 60% of the cost. He stated that even though experts  
in the matter are required and contemplated how the only people to speak are experts

issues and flooding. The County needs to be accountable for the infrastructure.

this area. She stated gopher tortoises require well drained sandy soils and proves it is  
a very wet area.

the bridge is an issue. He loves the rural lifestyle that currently exists in this area and  
this proposal in incompatible.

non-binding capacity determination. He states that they are consistent with one
