BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 1, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Amendment to the Bluewater Bay Development of
Regional Impact (DRI)
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: 5
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: To amend the Bluewater Bay Development of Regional Impact
(DRI), Development Order 77-1 to allow a self supporting communication tower as a permitted
use on parcel 22-1S-22-0000-0001-0090 which is designated as Recreation (R) on the Master
Plan dated October 7, 2008 as submitted by Lauralee Westine as agent on behalf of the property
owner, Recreation Services, Inc. The property is currently zoned Mixed Use 1 (MU 1) and the
future land use map designation is Mixed Use 1 (MU 1). The property is located on the north
side of Bay Drive, north of Lido Village Subdivision, Niceville and the lease area contains 0.23
acres more or less.
In the alternative - to consider continuing the hearing for 90 days as requested by the applicant
due to extenuating circumstances as described. below.
BACKGROUND: On September 17, 2013, the Board anonymously voted to continue the
public hearing to October 1, 2013 in order for the applicant to host a community meeting and to
reach out to the property owner of the existing tower located at 4901 Nelson Point Road
regarding the extension of the agreement. On September 23, 2013, the Growth Management
Department received the attached letter from Lauralee Westine, as agent for Crown Castle,
requesting that the hearing currently slated for the October 1st BCC meeting be continued for 90
days due to a death in the immediate family of the owner of the property on which the tower is
currently located. The 90 days is requested to allow the family time to grieve without the
distraction of lease negotiations.
Staff has no objection to the requested 90-day continuance. If the continuance is granted, the
hearing will have to be re-advertised; the applicant's agent has agreed to pay for the expense of
re-advertising and posting of signs.
As this is a continuation of a previously advertised public hearing, any member of the public
who attends the Board meeting and wishes to speak on this matter should be given the
opportunity to do so, even if the Board decides to grant the 90 day continuance.
The information below is provided in case the Board decides to conduct the public hearing and
take action on the public hearing, rather than grant the requested continuance:
The subject parcel is currently being used for swimming pool and commercial boat storage. The
applicant is not requesting to modify the overall designation of the parent tract, but is requesting
