FOR APPROVAL OF INSTALLATION OF AN AUTO~ATED SOUTHERN BELL FACILITY ON NORTHERN WAY SOUTH OF FIRE STATION NO. 2 IN TUSCAWILLA. ~x. Larry Strickland, Manager for Southern Bell was present and stated his office is in Sanford and that he is responsible for this request. The City Planner pointed out the location and stated the plans are to construct an unstaffed relay facility. She stated this is quite a large area of land involved for a small building (6 X 10'). Ms. Koch stated there will be one stabilized driveway into the site and a retention area which will be developed when final engineering is presented. She stated the reason this request is before this Board is that the PUD Ordinance requires that the type of a business in a PUD be approved along with the plan. Mr. Strickland stated this type of equipment will allow them to utilize by ten- fold the existing cables between the central office and this piece of equipment. Mr. Strickland stated they should save on maintenance fees and future rate increases. He stated the building will be nice aesthetically and can be made to fit into any surrounding area if landscaped appropriately. They are unmanned and require little to no maintenance. Mr. Strickland stated Southern Bell will be glad to do landscaping necessary to meet the needs of the community. Kaplan asked if this was a telephone transfer station. Mr. Strickland said it basically replaces a transfer station and allows the cable that they have in the ground between the central office and this piece of equipment to work much more efficiently, but it does not have switching gear in it. Kaplan asked if they had submitted a final engineering plan in accordance with the concept. The City Planner stated they need this approval before they can submit final engineering.
