Affidavit of Mailing of Letter ofNotification to property owners of record referenced in item 8 above notifying said property owners of this Special Use application; and 11. Check for the Application Fee in the amount of $2,000. Collectively the above constitutes the "Application." Overview of Property and Existing Zoning The Subject Property, zoned PUD, is located at 8512 SW 57h Avenue in South Miami in a residential area. The quadrant to the North is zoned PUD-R; the quadrant to the South is zoned PR; the quadrant to the West is zoned RS-3; and property in the quadrant to the East is located in unincorporated Miami - Dade County. Applicant is not seeking any zoning classification change. 6 =1111L IT, F1 � 0 J.: X, The Applicant seeks approval of a Special Use to locate a camouflaged ("Stealth') wireless supported services facility ("Facility") on the rooftop of the Subject Property. Applicant proposes to flush-mount three antennas on the building as depicted in the photo simulations included in this Application. The proposed antennas will be camouflaged by painting them to match the building's exterior. The related electronic equipment that will be connected to the. antennas by means of coaxial cables, will be located in cabinets placed on the rooftop as depicted in the drawings referenced in this Application at item 6 above. The proposed Facility does not alter any previously approved site survey data or survey calculations. General Comflatibility The proposed Facility is an unmanned facility that does not use water, sewer, or solid waste, The Facility only requires routine maintenance approximately weekly, thus there is no impact on transportation infrastructure. No easements or rights of way will be required for access to the Facility, and as it will be unmanned, a single parking space for the routine maintenance visits is all that will be required, The Facility neither creates nor poses any fire or other dangerous hazard to the public, and as the entire Facility is located on the building rooftop and roof line with its antennas a minimum of 45 feet above ground, it is not readily accessible. Included in this Application are letters from T-Mobile RF Engineers attesting to FCC compliance and safety rules and regulations and non-interference with public safety communications systems. , ' Recent changes in naming convention for zoning districts prompted a request to the City of South Miami for the current zoning classifications, which were provided by Lluvia Resendez in the Planning Department Necessity Standards The Applicant requires a Facility in this area due to a lack of in-building and in-car coverage. There are no other available existing wireless supported service facilities or buildings of sufficient height within T-Mobile's search area suitable for collocation of T-Mobile's antennas due to: a. insufficient structural capacity; and b. insufficient height to resolve the lack of coverage and capacity in the area intended to be served. The Applicant selected this site for location of its proposed Facility because it is located within an area identified by T-Mobile RF Engineering that would allow maximum coverage in the areas experiencing a gap in coverage. For the reasons stated herein, the Applicant is requesting approval of its Application for Special Use to permit a camouflaged wireless supported services facility on the Subject Property based upon need, compatibility and its design to minimize and eliminate any adverse visual impact to surrounding properties while providing reliable wireless communications to wireless customers.

Call to Order and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag Action: The meeting was called to order at 7: 40 P.M Action: The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison. Action: Vice Chair Yates requested a roll call.. Board members present constituting a quorum: Mr. Davis, Mr. Farfan, Ms. Chael, and Ms. Beckman, and Ms. Young. Board Member Absent: Chairman Morton City staff present: Julian H. Perez (Planning Director), Sanford A. Youkilis (Planning Consultant), and Lluvia Resendiz (Administrative Assistant). IV. Planning Board Applications / Public Hearing M-11YIYARW Action: Ms. Yates read the record into the record. Mr. Youkilis advised that three stealth antennas will be installed on the flat portion of the roof of Gulliver School Gymnasium located on 8512 SW 57 Avenue. The antennas will be Planning Board Meeting October 9, 2007 Excerpt Page 2 of 3 three feet long and Rush mounted on the walls of the building near the roof line and will be painted to match the colors of the building's exterior. The stealth antenna's approval was required to go through a special use approval because the LDC indicates there are certain types of stealth antenna in certain zoning districts which must have a special use hearing under Section 20-10.6 of the Land Development Code. There is an electrical room that will be placed at the second level roof line above the ground. As required by the LDC the applicant has met the requirements. They have supplied letters from engineers indicating that this site must be used because there is no other site within half a mile that will serve the purpose, provided an affidavit that there is no interference with other wireless communications, and provided an affidavit related to the wind load criteria. Staff observed that the applicant has made the effort to camouflage the antennas and the electronics facility. The proposed antennas will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons in the vicinity nor will it be detrimental to the public welfare or property in the area therefore, staff recommended approval of the stealth antennas as proposed. Ms. Yates opened the public hearing. Speakers: NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT/OPPOSE Deborah Martohue 2429 Central Avenue Ste 203 Supported St. Petersburg, FL Ms. Martohue, an attorney representing T-Mobile, advised of a technical correction, she stated the antennas were six feet in height as opposed to three feet. They will be one foot and four inches wide mounted 3 V off of the walls. The reason for the flush mount antenna was because we wanted to minimize the number of antennas on the facility therefore a six foot length was required in order to increase the capacity. They will all be located below the roofline. Ms. Yates closed the public hearing. Ms. Young requested that staff clarify the terminology "lack of coverage." Ms. Martohue explained that "lack of coverage" meant there was not enough coverage allowing someone in the area to make a call and a "lack of capacity" meant there Were customers in the area not having enough capacity to handle phone calls once they are made. Ms. Beckman questioned the number of antennas which will be installed and if there was a removal policy should the technology change. She also questioned whether or not the school was for profit or non-profit. Ms. Martohue replied that there will be three flushed mounted panel antennas and that most cities have abandonment clauses. To answer Ms. Beckman's question regarding the profit or non-profit, Ms. Martohue advised T-Mobile operates under a lease agreement with Gulliver Academy. She added that the issue should not influence on the decision making process when evaluating the criteria as to whether or not the Board should approve the variance. Ms. Beckman stated that the City should receive some of the monthly rent if it is a profit organization. Mr. Perez offered to research the issue. Ms. Chael questioned if the antennas would be as affective if they were mounted on the roof. Ms. Martohue responded it will not have any influence, however, if mounted on the Planning Board Meeting October 9, 2007 Excerpt Page 3 of 3 roof a different antenna would be used. Ms. Young questioned if the stealth antennas pose any hazards to the structure. Ms. Martohue advised that Building, Fire, and all safety departments evaluated and signed off on the antenna proposal. Motion: Ms. Beckman moved to approve the special use application as recommended. Mr. Farfan seconded.
