TOWER ORDINANCE IN A NUTSHELL
The Federal 1996 Telecommunications Act does NOT mandate that Sanibel MUST draw up zoned areas for 165' to 199' towers. THAT IS WHAT THE INDUSTRY WANTS: To get a Sanibel Ordinance granting tall towers "by-right" in order to avoid their right to petition our zoning process on a CASE BY CASE BASIS. THISTLE LODGE
Ordinance Page 10: Although towers higher than 199' are not Waterfront Seafood Grille permitted on Sanibel, towers up to 199' are permitted with "conditional use approval." Compliance for conditional approval is too technical to describe, BUT WHAT IS MISSING here and MISSING in the ENTIRE COCAMO ISLAND BOUILLABAISSE Ordinance itself is the requirement for industry TO DEMONSTRATE WHETHER SANIBEL EVEN NEEDS ONE MORE TOWER. MUCH A traditional island stew made with mussels, lobster tail, LESS THE TWO WE ALREADY HAVE! Newer technology makes tall clams, shrimp and fresh fish pieces, poached with mango, fine towers obsolete. Spanish saffron, white wine, tomato and a rich seafood broth. The ONLY general reference to State and Federal "environmental Served With herbed orzo rules" is on Page 37 item "N": As I read it—prior to a "certificate of occupancy" (which means to me the 165' or 199' tower is ALREADY BUILT.) the applicant must furnish a certificate of compliance. BUT one ANTIQUA APRICOT CHICKEN does NOT build a very expensive tower without knowing in advance that it Fresh chicken lightly sauteed and then glazed with our very already satisfies those "rules." For this reason, I think, Sanibel is NOT given maximum protection. As a result, there can be "by-right" tall towers special apricot and pineapple marmalade. on EVERY pre-approved site if this Ordinance is passed into Law on March 2,1999.
