Summary of the decision
SE-16-07-082 — ECO-SITE
Request: Special Exception in the I-1/I-5 zoning district to construct a 135 ft. high monopole communications cell tower. (Note: The tower will accommodate up to 3 users. No variances are required as the application complies with all of the off-site land use separation requirements).
Decision: Denied
Hearing: 1. The request is to construct a 135 ft. high monopole communications cell tower on the property. No variances are required from the off-site land use separation distances. 2. The surrounding area is primarily industrial and wetlands. Beyond the industrial park to the north are single family homes. The nearest home to the north is approximately 1080 ft. 3. Communication cell towers are not typically popular to residents. The best that one can hope for is to place them in areas that are not primarily residential. The proposed location is not a residential area. The adjacent land uses are non-residential. 4. The proposed tower will be constructed to accommodate up to 3 users.
