As anticipated, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved Mr. Aycock's request for a continuance to his application for re-zoning Sailfish Marina as well as the proposal to construct a 120 Ft cell tower at the site.
The decision to accept a request for continuation resides with the BOCC. The items remained on the agenda for today's meeting which is posted on the Martin County website. Despite receiving a copy of Mr. Aycock's letter for a continuation, all of the Intervenors attended the opening of the meeting until there was a vote on the agenda. The Commissioners adopted a revised agenda and agreed to the continuation until May 19th.
Numerous members of the public who did not know that a continuation was even a possibility attended the meeting. They put statements on record that they opposed the "postage stamp" rezoning of Sailfish Marina. They opposed the construction of a 120 ft tower in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Several spoke on the devastating effect on property values if the cell tower goes through.
Mr. Aycock also attended the meeting and hopefully listened to the concerns of these speakers.

WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BECOME COMPLACENT. THAT IS JUST WHAT THEY WANT!
