IS THIS A STEALTH TOWER?

Sec.4.796.B of the Martin County Codes states that

Towers and structure-mounted WTCFs within the following areas shall be STEALTH facilities:

1.

Traffic circles.

2.

Bridges.

3.

Barrier islands (Hutchinson Island, Jupiter Island or Long Island).

4.

Areas lying within 3,000 feet from the mean high water line of the Atlantic Ocean or within 2,500 feet from the Intracoastal Waterway, the St. Lucie River, Loxahatchee River, Indian River.

5.

Lands designated commercial office/residential, commercial waterfront, institutional-recreation, institutional conservation on the future land use map.

6.

Lands designated for residential use on the future land use map.

7.

The hurricane evacuation zone for a Category 2 hurricane, as defined in Chapter 8, the Coastal Management Element, of the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan.

The Sailfish Marina neighborhood meets several of these criteria.

The Glossary for Sec. 4.792 states a

Stealth facility means any tower or WTCF which is designed to blend into the surrounding environment to the extent that an average person would be unaware of its presence as a tower or WTCF.

You be the judge. Does this tower meet that definition to you?
