WRONG TOWER WRONG PLACE

Why has a 120 ft high monolithic wireless communications tower been proposed for construction at Sailfish Marina, in a residential neighborhood without following Martin County tower siting guidelines? The county is required to investigate co-locating services on existing structures.

Sailfish Marina has an existing lattice structure.





Sandsprit Park has existing lattice structures. The area is dotted with utility poles which many cities in the US use to co-locate services. A complementary smaller tower could be built on an already existing Waterfront General Commercial site on the Manatee Pocket. The whole Manatee Pocket could have a ring of less obtrusive wireless communication services and not one monolithic pole.




This image of Sailfish Marina from a boat on the Manatee Pocket is a SIMULATION of what is proposed. An image of an existing Cell Tower on Sailfish Point built by DTI and reported  to be similar to the Sailfish Marina proposal has been scaled and placed on top of the image of the existing lattice tower.
