Mr. Barnett stated that he represents Vertical Bridge doing business as The Towers LLC., He explained that they are proposing to construct a 255 ft. monopole tower with a 10 ft. lightening rod which will be a total of 265 ft. tall. Mr. Barnett also explained that they will have base station equipment along with an 80 x 80 leased area and a 75 x 75 fenced compound.
Mr. Barnette stated that the side setback is adjacent to HWY 87 and the rear setback is adjacent to an agricultural field.
In reference to Mr. Davis’s inquiry, Mr. Barnette explained that the northeast corner of the leased area is over the required 25ft setback and they would like to be able to utilize all leased space.
Mandi LeBlanc, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated that for the record, there was a clerical error, and the side setback is located on the Westerly side of the property, not the Easterly.

Mr. Roberie ex- plained that his property forms a U shape and what is considered their front property line is technically the rear property line for the property owners whose property is located near the road.
Mr. Roberie ex- plained that if they were to meet the setback requirements, that would put the structure too close to the bayou, and they would not have enough room to move equipment.
There being no further business, Mr. Martin moved for adjournment. Mr. Small seconded the motion, which carried.
