Authorization
REQUEST: City Manager requesting Commission consideration of approval of the first
reading of an ordinance providing for a lease of City property located at the sewer
plant site on State Road 434 adjacent to the Winter Springs Golf Course to
PrimeCo Personal Communications of Tampa, Florida for the purpose of erecting
a tele-communications tower.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda is for the Commission to decide if it desires to lease
property located at the City Sewer Plant on State Road 434 adjacent to the Winter
Springs Golf Course to erect a 120 foot monopole tele-communications tower for
$1000 a month and space on the tower for possible City communication uses.
City Staff has been negotiating for several weeks with PrimeCo Personal
Communications relative to their desire to erect two 120 foot monopole tele-
communications towers in Winter Springs at the following sites:
1) On City Sewer Plant property located on State Road 434 adjacent to the Winter
Springs Golf Course.
2) On Florida Power right-of-way located east of the intersection of Shore Road
and Panama Road in the Ranchlands.
On City property the City can negotiate a rental arrangement and other
considerations. The City has negotiated a rental rate of $1,000 a month or
$12,000 annually and space on the towers for communications needs the City
may have in the future. The average rental rate for a tower of this type is about
$700 monthly,

APPLICABLE CODE:
Section 4.14(6) Actions requiring an Ordinance, Section 4,14(6) requires that the
conveyance or lease of any City owned land to be leased or conveyed by City
Ordinance,
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The City has no ability to demand a rental fee on the Florida Power site, however,
we are demanding that space be reserved on this tower also for future City
communication needs,
Both towers will require height variances, The sewer plant will need a 70 foot
variance. The Florida Power site will require a 85 foot variance. A 55 foot
variance was issued at the Florida Power site for another use in 1990.
The height variance required for the tower site will go before the Board of
Adjustment on September 5, 1996 and the Commission on September 9, 1996,
The second reading on the lease ordinance will be before the Commission on
September 9, 1996,
ISSUES:
The only significant issue is whether or not the 120 foot height will be found to
be objectionable.
FUNDING:
No funding is required from the City for this item.
